To this Act it has been objected that it wants the Royal confirmation, and it was suggested that Cardinal Wolsey for a sum of money, interpolated this among other Acts without the King’s assent. The story, sufficiently improbable in itself, rests on no evidence, and the plea founded on it was overuled by C. Justice _Pemberton_, 2 _Show_ 166. _See also College of Physicians against Huybert. Goodall’s Collect._ 267, where the circumstances are more fully related. Footnote 76: This fine is raised to ten pounds by _Stat._ 1 _Mary_, _Ses._ 2. _c._ 9. § 5. Footnote 77: Such as “Women’s breasts being sore; a Pin and Web in the Eye; Uncombes of Hands; Burns; Scaldings; sore Mouths; the Stone; Strangury; Saucelim; and Morphew, and such other like diseases.” The pin and web in the eye is alluded to by Shakespeare in Lear, Act iii. Sc. iv. “_he gives the web and the pin_,” and again, “_wishing all eyes blind with the pin and web_,” Winter’s Tale, Act. i. Sc. ii. With respect to the precise meaning of this expression some doubts have arisen. Hanmer says _the pin_ is a horny induration of the membranes of the eye. Skinner seems likewise to say the same, but Dr. Johnson thinks that it is an inflammation, which causes a pain like that of a pointed body piercing the eye: _Web_ in the eye, is defined by Johnson “a kind of dusky film that hinders the sight.” _Uncombes of Hands_ is an expression still used in the North for _Whitlows_. _Morphew_ signifies a cutaneous eruption in the face, _Saucclim_? Footnote 78: See _Cro. Car._ 257. Footnote 79: Such penalty has been recovered from the warden of the Fleet. _Goodall’s Pro._ 421. Footnote 80: By Statute 10 Geo. 1. c. 20, the College was empowered to examine drugs within seven miles circuit, as well as within the City of London, to which the wording, though probably not the intention, of former acts had confined them; but this Statute, though continued by 13 G. 1. c. 27, has now expired; we shall in another place suggest the policy of reviving and extending its enactments. Footnote 81: The punishment of dissection is now added by Act of Parliament to the execution for murder only, but this does not exclude the right of the Crown to the disposal of the bodies of all executed traitors and felons. The words of the grant of Elizabeth, are “_quod jure publico hujus regni furti homioidii vel cujuscumque feloniæ condamnatum et mortuum fuerit_.” Charter 7 Eliz. Goodall’s Collection, p. 35.
