What a painful and noxious disease isthe Piles ! and comparatively how few of the afflicted have beon pennaae / itly cured by ordinary appeals to medical skill ! This , no doubt , arises from the use of powerful aperients too frequently administered by tho profession-indeed , strong internal medicine should always be avoided in all cases © £ this complaint . Thenroiirietoroftheatove oiutment , after years of acute suffering , placed himself nnder the treatment of that eminent surgeon , Mr AberneUiy , was by Mm restored to perfect health , and thus enjoyed it ever Since without theslightestreton of the disorder , over a period of hfteen jears . during which time the same Aberratnian prescriptionhas bEenthe means of healing a vast number of desperate cases , boih in ana ., ut of the pro-I prietor ' sdrclefoffricnas , most ofwlrich cases had been under medical care , and some of them for a very considerable time . Abernethy's Pile Ointment was introduced to the public by the desiro of many who had been perectly healed by its application , nnd since its introduction the f .. mc of this ointment has spread far and wide ; even tteMedicalp / ofe ^ ion , always slow and unwilling to acknowledge the virtues of any media ic not prepared by them-SelveMo ^ owfredTandfninW atoit that A&rncthy's Pile Ointment is not « nly a valuable preparation , but a neverfailin K remeavineverjstageandvarietjoftUatappttlhnguialady .

Mr Joneb called the attention of the bench to the previous excellent character of the deceased , and stated , he could prove that deceased took no part in any disturbance on the day of his death , that the police wore never molested by any oneduring that whole day , and that the conduct of Sharpe would warrant even a graver accusation than that of manslaughter . He would first call Mr Bacon , the master of the deceased . Mr Bacon deposed that on the 4 th of August last deceased had attended tho nomination of the county members till twelve , and had then worked at his shop from twelve to a quarter pastfour in the afternoon . Deceased always bore a most exemplary character . Thomas Chaph&n—Was at Dodson's house at n quarter before five . Deceased came home at that time , drunk tea . wroto a letter , and went to post . it at a quarter past five .

Not like a man who had been in a crowd , A few observations were exchanged between thun- Deoeased crossed to opposite side , aud then stood listening leisurely te a band of music . Had no stick in his hand . A person cam <> up the street and said , ' If you want to see something there ' s a ro n down the street . ' Deceased tcok no notice , but remained some time listening to the band , and then walked quietly down the street . Did not run . This was at a quarter past sir . Did not see deceased afterwards .
Cross-examined by Mr Stamland—Was certain the women did not say where the row was . Merely ' down tho street , ' W its examined before the coroner on Saturday last . Said the same then as now .

She went in to fetch her bonnet and then walked down one side of the street , and Dodson down the other . They walked quietly , neither fast nor slow . Crossed over into market , Dodeon with her .

Mr Staniland should decidedly object to Mr Jones addressing tho bench . MrE . Jones said he claimed the privilege as neces « aif for the full understanding of the case , owing to the extraordinary manner in which the evidence had been taken b y the magistrate ^ clerk .
Mr Chaplin— That will render an adjournment necessary . We have now been occupied at this two days , ft is all very well for Mr Jones , who gets paid for his time and trouble , but we work gratuitously . Mr E .

Sharpe , whea witness saw him at lock-up , seemed calm and collected . Did not seem to bo drank , but did not particularly notice , as witness ' s attention was directed to the wound . Tho Magistrates Clerk having omitted to write the last portion of the paragraph , Mr E . Jones demanded its in * sertion . . The magistrates objected , when the learned counsel observed—It was material for his case , and it was an unprecedented occurrence , that ma-istrates , should object to a portion of the evidence adduced being : taken down , when that evidence was strictly legil and straightforward .
