REEKING WITH WICKEDNESS.

METHODS OF A MEDICAL INSTITUTE.

AN OUTSPOKEN JUDGE. Received September 15, 11.20 p.m. SYDNEY, September 15. Mr Justice Cohen, in the Supreme Court, summing up in an action for damages for alleged wrongful treatment Drought by a farmer against a medical institute, made use of strong remarks. He said that there are occasions when in the public interest, however strong a desire a Judge may have to preserve his mind utterly undisturbed, he should give fairly full expression to his feelings. "This was an occasion," said Mr Justice Cohen, "when the public interest calls for a frank, outspoken expression of opinion upon the methods adopted at this institute by those concerned in its management. For cruel cunning, unmeasured audacity and hypocritical pretence I doubt whether the annals or the Court of this State disclose a case to which the application of these epithets could be more justly applied. It is a strong illustration of man's inhumanity to man, and shfws how crafty, cunning and designing men'in their haste and lunger for money can set at naught the feelings and sufferings of their fellow-men, no matter what sacrifice may be involved in their machinations. The circumstances of this case show to u» inhumanity in one of its wvrst forms. The whole atmosphere of the institution reeks with wickedness, and it only men With callous dispositions, with hearts of stone, steeled, perhaps, by the hunger for money, who can trade upon the ciedulky of their fellow-men as the proprietors of this institution pivytU upon 'heir felluwmen."
