I saw at the outset that it was impossible in the time at my disposal to do more than deal with some of the important questions that the proposed reforms give rise to, and I trust, therefore, the members of this Society will pardon my shortcomings in attempting to treat of so great and important a subject in the time permitted at your meetings. I can only hope to put before you some of the views that have occurred to me after a careful consideration of the many points at issue-views which, I believe, are held by other Poor Law reformers, and which at least have the merit of being the result of long experience in practical Poor Law work, accompanied by a fair acquaintance with the general literature of the subject. As the Society I have the honour of addressing is not only a medical society, but claims likewise to represent a section of the sister profession of the law, I trust I shall be excused if I give some attention to legal points in my remarks; perhaps more than is customary where the hearers are composed of medical practitioners only. In my opinion the legal aspect of the subject we are dealing with is fully as important as the medical, for the","PeriodicalId":415025,"journal":{"name":"Medico-Legal Society Transactions","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1910-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127541887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I venture to hope that this subject may be deemed worthy of consideration by this society because there figures in many medico-legal cases the statement, which at times becomes an excuse, that with the sight of blood the desire or the impulse which caused the assault is satisfied; that an irresistible craving for blood prompted the agent to attack his selected, or in some instances indiscriminate, victims; and that this lust for bloodwhich prompts the name of \"human tigers\" for this class of persons-is to be held as an extenuating circumstance in appraising the culpability of the prisoner.

But, unhappily, in practice the scheme has led to much hardship to employers, and has exposed them to the plots and plans which lazy or dishonest men are ever ready.to form in order to extract money. Such men are aided and abetted by the least reputable members of the legal 'profession. I know as a fact that it is the custom of some of the latter gentry to ascertain day by day from the receiving-room porters at the hospitals the names and adJresses of casualties treated there, and to offer the injured men to take charge of their cases.

The oldest known code of Laws promulgated by Hammurabi, King of Babylon during the period 2285-2242 H.C., and which is believed by learned scholars of Assyriology to embody the best judical decisions prior to that period enacted the privileges, fees and serious liabilities of those venturesome enough to practice medicine and surgery.
