practised most successfully as a prescribing surgeon, havinga highly respectable clientelle. About the year 1851, hewas elected honorary surgeon to the Ardwick and AncoatsDispensary, which offi ce, after filling with the greatestassiduity, be relinquished in a few years, when he wasunanimously elected conaulting surgeon. In 1856 he com-menced to lecture on Forensic Medicine at the Chatham-street School of Medicine and Surgery, and continued hislectures after its incorporation with the Pine-street Schoolas the Manchester Royal School of Medicine and Surgery,and again at Owens College, when the medical schoolbecame amalgamated with that institution. This positionhe resigned in the year 1876. In 1873 he was elected Pre-sident of the Manchester Medico-Ethical Society, and atthe expiration of his year of office was again chosen for1874.Of late years his thorough practical knowledge, combined

with his sound treatment of disease, brought him fre-

quently into requisition as a consultant, in which capacityhis uniform consideration and general kindness endearedhim alike to patient and colleague. As a practitionerhaving a widely-scattered practice, his time was too fullyoccupied to allow much leisure for writing, so that beyonda few lectures to the working classes on sanitary and othercognate subjects, he never appeared in print.By his untimely death his patients have lost a kind and

sympathetic friend, in addition to a valued adviser, whilst.only those who had the privilege of knowing him intimatelycan realise to the full extent the loss they have sustained ;indeed, his character has been well brought out by a veryintimate friend in words expressed to the present writer:He was the most unselfish man I ever knew."
