DECIDELY ACCURATE.

During the hearing of the case Wait v. Collia, in the Oamaru K.M. Court, recently Dr. de Lautour, in explaining to Mr. Hislop (by whom he was being examined) the test applied for the detection of fractures of the hip joiut by Dr. Nelaton of Paris, used certain anatomical terms. He was requested by Mr. Hislop to use language tnat the \ Court could' understand. Dr.de Lautour then described the test as a line drawn from the edge of that bone upon which one pits round outside of the' thigh-boiie to^proininence at. the rim. of the hip.' M»*-,J!iewton, in his desire for extreme,, accuracy demanded an exact description 61 the test. He was then informed" that it was a line drawn from the. edge of the tuberosity of ischiuin, crossing the margin of the greater trochanter of the femur to the anterior superior spinus process of the illium. As these terrible words rolled rapidly from the doctor's mouth, great consternation was observable not only on the countenance of the counsel for the plaintiff, but on that of the worthy. R.M. The reporters (says the Mail) were paralysed ; in the Court reigned temporary silence, the outcome of the profoundest admiration and amusement, and then followed a literal roar of mirth.

A Northern paper says that the fiirst brief given to .the, late Dr Kenealy was given by the late Mr. Mansford, R. M.,^who died at Dunedin recently. Mr. Phillip CallanM.P. for Limerick, made a scene in the House of Commons recently. He was intoxicated when he took his seat, and delivered an incoherent speech, in the course of which he insulted the Chairman of Committee, and denounced the members generally as infidels, Scotch Presbyterians, contempt tibie n Hicomformists, and despicable* shopkeepers. His colleagues left the. House in a body at the beginning of the speech,, and Mr. O'Connor Power, on behalf of the Irish party, apologised for Mr. Oallan's conduct. g|§An editor, with nine unmarried daughters, was recently made justly indignant by the misconstruction his contemporaries put upon his able leader on ." The demand for men. "
