Medical laws and legislation -- Great Britain
Apothecaries were originally charged with.
Power is also reserved for the President, or Vice President of the
Royal College of Physicians, once or oftener in every year, to visit
the said garden, and examine if the conditions above specified are
duly observed and complied with.
Footnote 134:
This condition has been long since fulfilled. By an extract from the
minutes of the Royal Society, it would appear that the last
presentation of Plants took place on the 17th of February, 1774, being
the 51st annual presentation, amounting in all to 2550 plants.
Footnote 135:
If however a gentleman of quality, or a physician, officer, &c. be
chosen constable, where there are sufficient persons beside, and no
special custom concerning it; it is said such person may be relieved
in B. R. 2 _Hawk. P. C._ 100. _Jac. L. Dict. tit._ Constable. As to
Surgeons see _The King v. Pond. Comyns R._ 312: 2 _Kebl._ 578. 1
_Syd._ 431: 1 _Mod._ 22.
Footnote 136:
But a Physician in the country, though a Fellow of the College, may be
chosen, 2 _Keb._ 578; 1 _Mod._, 22.; 1 _Keb._ 439; 2 _Hawk._ 100; 1
_Sid._ 431; 2 _Keb._ 578; 2 _Hale_ 100; _Com. Dig. tit._ Physician.
For Surgeons see 18 _Geo._ 2. _c._ 15. §. 10; 2 _Hawk. Pl._ 101; 5
_Hen._ 8. _c._ 6; 1 _Burn._ 387. For Apothecaries 6 _Will._ 3. _c._ 4;
9 _Geo._ 1. _c._ 8. §. 1. See also the Charters. _Comyns_ Rep. 312.
Footnote 137:
In one point counsel have an advantage over physicians in respect of
their fees; the attorney or solicitor who can recover his costs at
law, is an intermediate agent and he is held professionally liable to
the counsel for their payment; and if the attorney have received his
costs from his client (including fees) it would appear that the
counsel might recover in an action for money had and received to his
use. It is to the honor of the profession that we should find no
decided case on the subject.
Footnote 138:
A barrister cannot maintain an action for his fees. Chan. Rep. 38.
Footnote 139:
3 Bl. Com. 28. Taciti An. 1. 11.
Footnote 140:
See _Law_ v. _Hodgson_, 2 _Camp._ 147. _Johnson and others_ v.
_Hudson_, 11 _East_ 180, and cases cited there. The unprofessional
reader must observe that there is considerable difference between the
authority of cases determined at _Nisi Prius_, which are decided by a
single Judge, and those argued in banco, which are resolved by all the
four Justices of that Court in which the action may have been brought.
Footnote 141:
So also if a Farrier kills a horse or pricks him in shoeing; or if he
refuse to shoe him whereby he is lamed, _Bull. N. P._ 73, and of
trades generally, as, action against a Barber for barbing the
plaintiff, _negligenter et inartificialiter_. 2 _Bulst._ 333; I _Danv.
Ab._ 177; see also 2 _Bl. Com._ 163.
Footnote 142:
