AUTHORITY OF MEDICAL SUBORDINATES. - The Com.mander-in-Chief in India, having submitted a case for the

opinion of the Risrht Honourable the Judge Advocate Generalof the British Army, London, arising out of a refusal on thepart of a sergeant to obey an order given by an hospitalapothecary. by whom he was ordered into arrest, has justpublished the following opinion, which will be read withgreat interest by those connected with the Army MedicalDepartment:-" It would appear that Sergeant Piggins wasattached to the hospital, and that it was in a matter connectedwith the discipline of the hospital that he was ordered intoarrest by Apothecary Lawrence, who, being a warrant officer,was not only superior in rank to the sergeant, but clearly hissuperior officer in matters connected with the discipline of thehospital ; and therefore, in my opinion, a lawful authoritywhen he ordered Sergeant Piggins under arrest." And it is

gratifying to add, that the Judge Advocate General of theBritish Army fully concurs with the Judge Advocate General ofthe Bombay Army, in thinking that any apothecary or hospitalsteward in the Indian forces may lawfully order an hospitalsergeant into arrest for an offence directly connected withhospital duties.

quence of the encroachments of a military surgeon on the prac-tice of a civil surgeon, a complaint was made by Mr. John C.Harper against Apothecary S.

Afterhearing the case, Lient.-Colonel Fytche disposed of it in thefollowing terms :-" With regard to the competition com-

plained of by petitioner, the Court believes that the Govern-ment, either in this country or in England, have no objectionto their servants in the Medical Department having privatepractice, so long as it does not interfere in any way with theirpublic duties, or that the knowledge they possess should notbe made available for the benefit of the community as well asthe personal advantage of their servants themselves ; and thatthe community of Maulmain can be very safely left to maketheir own selection of medical advisers, whether in the Go-verament service or not."

ACCIDENTAL POISONING.-On Monday evening severalmen in a silk dyer’s warehouse in Mile End partook of somebeer from a can which had been previously used for a mixturecalled "Springfield’s Patent."
