WHEN I accepted the invitation to give an address on this subject, it was with some diffidence that I approached the duty I had undertaken. 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

The subject I have the honour of bringing before the society this evening is the" lust for blood" as an incentive to murder, and inasmuch as I confess that the title does savour somewhat of the sensational I have coined a word, hcelJlothymia, which may, I hope, be allowed to pass muster and to do duty as a fit heading for a somewhat unlovely topic. 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. If, as I suppose, one of the objects of this society is the study of the psychological conditions under which civil and criminal offences are committed, the pre-

The Workmen's Compensation Acts were framed with the intention of providing means for genuine workers who were disabled in the course of their employment-and few, of any shade of political opinion, will deny that it is fair that the employer should have to take his share in supporting a man, who has been injured, whilst working in his service. 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. They then proceed to place every difficulty in the way of an amicable settlement in order to increase their own costs; and finally, I"hen the case is settled, the unfortunate workmen find that only a proportion of the money awarded comes into their own pockets, whilst in the event of the claim not being sustainable, and of the employer gainingthe case in the county court, no costs

From the earliest times of which we have any authentic records, the Responsibilities, Liabilities, and Privileges of Medical Men have been the subject of Legislation. Yet the measure of that Responsibility has varied greatly in times past and amongst divers nations. 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. After laying down a scale of fees which then, as now, varied with the social status of the patient, but which fees were only payable after cure of such lesions as " shattered limbs," "diseased bowels," and" abscess of the eyes," the code proceeds :" If the doctor has treated a gentleman for a severe wound with a lancet of bronze, and has caused the gentleman to die, or has opened an abscess of the eye for a gentleman with a bronze lancet, and has caused the loss of the gentleman's eye, one shall cut off his hands."
