BROOKLYN COURTS. CITY COURT—TRIAL TERM. Am Important Case=The Responstuility of Physicians and Surgeons—What the Law Requires of Them—Suit to Recover $30,000 for Alieged Malepractice—State- ments of Professional Experte—The Charge of the Court. Before Judge Neilson, Probably mo case ever excited more interest among the medical and surgical profession of Brooklyn than that of Mrs, Luella ©. Saunders against Dr. H. S. Gilbert, which was a suit to re- cover damages in the sum of $30,000 for alleged malepractice. The trial was commenced on Monday last, and yesterday afternoon the case was given to the jury. Some of the most distinguisned phy- sicians and surgeons of New York and Brooklyn testified as experts during the proceedings, the examination being conducted on & most elaborate seale. The court room was densely crowded cach day, the profession being very largely represented, Judge Neiison, in his charge to the jury, made a very clear exposition of the case, He spoke as Jollows:— JUDGE NHILSON’S CHARGE, Gextiexen or tHe Juny—This action having been brought on the theory that the deiendant, while acting as ical attendast of the plaintiff, was wanung in, or in the exercise of, skill and care, itis necessary that you should have in mind the rule of ‘law applicable to the re- lation of the parties, The defe sees and to apply reasonable tioner, aud the care and attanwen wr Senne to have. been saute seem Oye nature aad exigencies of the cast. “dr che defendant did have that i derived trom at and experience: ($4 me actually applied that skill in his treatwens of the plana; ib am adaition to that, he exercised the proper care and attention, and gave reasonable instructions, be is not liable, although trom causes beyond his apprehension and control the cuse caine to an unfavorable result. ihe law’ peculiar wo such service, as in other instances of special relation and daty, is just and reasonuble; in its torboarance it has respect to the honest eflorts o1 one seeking earnestly and wiin due preparation to give reliet to anotiier, though he may fail trom errors ne in equitable spirit it care agprapers, chores to restore the patient,’ all the tenderness and solicitude which ag unperverted heart wouid naturaily feel tor the pain and sutierig o: the person courting and depen‘ing Upon medical treatment Beyond this the law makes no exactions In the very nature of the (hing the medical practitioner does not and CANNOT BE EXVECTED TO INSURE OR GUARANTER SUCCESS. When he has performed, in the earnest discharze of his duty, all that an enlightened judgment enabled him to do, the Jaw is satistied. You should accept and apply the rule of law stated. Thatis your duty. But the questions of fact are tor you to determine, especially where there are conflict and contradiction.” so as the credi- bility of witnesses may be involved you are to apply your best judzment, reconcile the tesiimony wuere you can do so, and, where you cannot, give credit to that which best satistes your minds. Such questions rest With you. In your general review of the case you find several pofnts of Interest as io which you may have no difficulty, there being po contiicting of a strong con- currence of’ testimony. Thus, for instance, it appeu: that the detendant is a physicign ot good standing, a h w intent upon the Periortuance of the duty ry: would go an ment; J attention, 3 iy pute and experience. You “have had ‘Good Opportunicy of judging ct ms intelligence in hearing him tesuy. It would seem that the delivery of the child on tie 3yth of Maren, 1si2 was not attended by any known complication of any special difficulty. The aunt who was in atteudauce had had some experience; and without regard to the question which has been'suggested, whether the prac- fice of obstetrics is held In low esfimation or not, you have been asked to consider whether $% was not impru- dent to allow this event to occur without secking to have the physician in attendance. Several of the wit- esses Say that a person of skill should be in attendance, and the reason assigned is that complications might arise. the complications sugested bad arisen in this case the point would be of —mo- ment; but as they did not, as nothing which a physician could have prevented occurred, the point does not seem to be of present importance. It also Appears with reasonable certainty that atter the detend- ant had ceased to attend the piaintiff, and about the Ist of September, 187% an examination wade by Drs. Dudley and Giltilian, and again by them and Dr. Wood, and the Telaxation aud separation of the symphysis pubis had taken place. In addition to their cohcurring statements you will consiaer the statements of the -plainuff as to. her sense of the movement of — the pubic bones when she in If ou. fare satisfied that her statement is ‘correct, that She did have that sense of disturbance, the statement of several of the experts, that in cases of -uch relaxation or severance that would be the personal experience, be- comes iinportant. It you credit the testimony you might weil find that this relaxation or separation did occur to the plainuff. in this connection you will remember that CASES OF THIS CHARACTER AKE OF HAlLK OCCURRENCE, tis noticed in some medical books, in others not But the fact bas been best Llustrated in the testimony of the distinguished phystcians and surgeons called. ihus Dr, Dudley, of 30 years’ practice, has seen but one previous case ; Dr. Gilililan, of 18 years practice, but onc, and that when he was a student in Edinburgh; Dr. We of long and very larze practice, has met with Dr. Carnochan, of like standing and experienc no case of the Kind; Dr. Ayres, 3l years in practice, met ‘with six cases in the hospital practice: Dr. Richardson, 35 years’ practice, tour or five such cases; Dr. Minton, ith 2iyears, met with po case. still, trom the buoks and the illustrations given, and from & knowledge of the ‘of the human frame and of the office of each park he witnesses have been enabled to give you the requisite information. In addition to that vou have seen the skeleton of this part ot a women, anu understand that it constitutes a framework supporting the softer tissues of this region and serving to support the weight of the Body upon the lower extremities. As explained by the wituesses, it consis of three parts, bound. together at three points of junction, ot which one is that in ques- tion in the front of iniddie line of the body. The bones are not in immediate contact, but are conected by thin plates of Hbro-cartilage mterp and are jurther sup- ported und together by ments. The streng! Of this union is unders: to be very great, and its severance duc {to disease impairing the structure and causing the reiaxation, or to great violence. That strength is suggested by the form and the structore of this part, and is demon- strated by che tement of Lr.

Dr. Carnochan cites an in- stance where a lady had several children, this distarbance intervening. Itis'‘proper that you consider the syza) r ich this disturbance declares ttself. It is said to be not unusual for women atver childbirth to com- plain of some of the troubles of which the plaintiff com- blains-pain, general internal disturbance, pressure and seeming sinking sensations. The exception is the de- ciared movement of the pubic bones, stated by plaintiff. Tt is quite clear that that sensation and the pain caused by such movement beiongs to and is peculiar to this dis- wrbance, The WITNESSES MOST COMPETANT state that such movement of the pubic bones would oc- cur Jn cases of such relaxation or disturbance, Accord- ing to my reeollection the testimony of the experts thus supports the statement that tms plaintiff was cutter ing from that cauge ; the very sensation which she states {he movement of the bones and the pain incident to that would attend that rejation or severance of the part desig- We learn from the experts, as we learn from that a person thus affected would, rising ‘or moving, have that sense ot the robbing of the pubie Now, although the deiendent had pot had such a case in the previous practice, accounted for by tie rarity of such occurrences, yet in his professional reading he had found statements o/ it, He does not appear to nave becn ligno- rant of the tact that such distar! ee occur.

WHAT COMPLALNTS WRAY MADE TO THE DEVENDANT? ‘The general declaration of pain, or even of the sinking of the iuiernal party if made in the riod of his Sttendance, would nét have sufticed. Yet even sueh compiain's, if continued for an unuseal period, might have indicated an extreme difficulty calling for special aitention. You should be careful, however, in the con- sideration of this matter; you nt, if you should reward the east complaints = Pa! and disturbance as cules trouble, do. deendant ® great if you fina that no complaint, was made to him of the movement of the public bones or of pain from such movement, or in that precise locality, you should find for the defendant. But ifyou find, from the testi mony of the plaintit!, her husband an that the plaintiff did state to the skill, care and «il terial whether this diiculty arose betore the delivery of the ‘chld or not It duicuity existed while he was in attend: was brought to bf and roug! notice, should he not have made or have called in as- sistance to make the uired examination? That is a question for you. Theres sorne doubt as to effecting an entire cure in such cases. Nature is said to indict, and nature, civing her @ fair chance, ts eaid to asa cure or an amelioration. But the pi nesses concur in the suatement that TE 18 IMPORTANT TO ACT PROMPTLY, that is, as early as the evil can be discovered, and that the is pericet quiet. Under such treat- ment, entire care could not be effected, might — not much — pain and suffering be avoided, the chances of ultimate recovery enhanced? ‘Vhis question is to be considered by you ip the light of the testimony, As a formal question of law, gentlemes T ought te say to you that if the plainuft, by her want care of by her negligence, contributed to this injury, oF thwarted or prevented the medical attendant from mak- ing the proper and profitable exercise of his calling, she could noi recover mm this action, The only suggestion o| negligence that occurs to me is In connecuon with the livery of the child.

[do not perceive in the evidence anything that justly you in finding that the PLAINTIFY HAD BREN GOTLTY OF NEGLIGENCE, amloss you should find that the defendant gaye directions that she ybould remain perfectly « a sho, in de- flance of that, got up and sought io wa.

The regular monthly meeting of the Shipowners’ Association was held at thetr room, on Pine street. yesterday afternoon, Gustavus A. Brett presided. There was but @ Meagre attendance, six members only being present. Mr. Minturn, on behalf of the Committee on the Obstruction of Piers, reported that the case of the People vs. Mallory had been decided in their favor, and that the opmion of the Court was in the strongest and most saitsfactory language. Yet this party and the Dock Commisioners, with ali op- posed to the decision in question, were preparing to appeal the case, and, having joined hands and joined forces, it was to the interests of the ship- owners that they at once take action to mect the attack, What the com- mittee wanted was money to do their work properly, but there was groat apathy displayed by the gentlemen upon whom they bad cailed, and Many excuses were given why they could not sub- scribe to the fund. The committee thought the: were on the right track, and desired to cane but the want of money was retarding them.’ A member asked what amount was required, to which was the answer :—“Good deal more than we have got now.” Secretary NORVELL reported the action of the committee on the question of pilotage.

Brett answered negatively, and suid ‘that he was in javor of it, as the members of the Sinpowners’ Association were entirely too luke. warm in attending to their duties, and he had already determined that he should not hold the office of President after the 1st of May next. Mr, Nelson thoughs that te time was not opportune for the members “to hold @ coroner's inquest on the association,” as there were important papers beiore them, and they had recommended Botn Congress and the State Legigiatare to change ex- isting laws. ‘ihe assoviation wants all the force and standing it can command, anc does not desire wo be weakened by 6uch statements as had veen made by members, ‘The Committee on the Shipping Act report progrese when resolutions commendatory Bt the Captain of the Port and his assistants were Gnd jhe agaociation adjourned, INTERNATIONAL TONNAGE COMMISSION, Important Report Bearing on the Navi- gation of the Sues Canal.
