Saturday 19 Jul 1845 (p. 3, col. 1-3) INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, APPLEBY.-A Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, was held at the Shire Hall, Appleby, on Tuesday last, by Chief Commissioner REYNOLDS. There were two petitions for hearing-viz., that of John JACKSON, of Ambleside, and Mrs. STEPHEN, of Kirkby Stephen, grocer. The discharge of both of the insolvents was opposed, but ineffectually. THE LATE DR. RAMSAY, OF DRUNGANS AND DALLASH.-Dr. RAMSAY, whose death, at 15, Melville Street, on the 8th inst., in his 80th year, was recorded in our paper of Saturday last, possessed, and through a long life exercised, qualities and accomplishments which well entitle him to remembrance. A son of Jas. RAMSAY, Esq., sometime of Drungans, in the stewartry of Kirkcudbright, Dr. RAMSAY was born in the city and became a graduate of the University of Edinburgh. On taking his degree, at an early age, he settled as a physician in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where his eminent qualifications soon secured him extensive practice, and the first place in the medical profession, which he maintained with distinguished honour for nearly half a century. He resolved to retire from practice in 1834, and his eminence and the estimation in which he had been held may well be appreciated by the terms of an address on the occasion by his professional brethren, which was published by them in the journals of the day, particularly in the Newcastle Chronicle, of the 1st of March, 1834, from which we quote:-"The medical practitioners of Newcastle-upon-Tyne have solicited and obtained the consent of Dr. RAMSAY to have an engraved portrait of himself from a picture in his possession." In making this request to Dr. RAMSAY, they say:-"Though they are aware that if any man more than another is averse to the language of adulation, it is Dr. RAMSAY, yet they trust they may be allowed to state, that they are influenced on the present occasion generally by their respect for his amiable character as a man and his eminent qualifications as a consulting physician, his urbanity of manner, his frankness in communicating his views, and, above all, his presiding benevolence of disposition, invariably evinced in his rare and happy art of strenuously promoting the welfare of his patient, with all due regard to the feelings, opinions, and reputation of the general practitioner." It were needless to add, that the spirit of liberality and kindness indicated by this enunciation was equally honourable to the members of the medical profession of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the gentleman who was the object of their esteem and regard. Although holding the station in the medical profession in Newcastle-upon-Tyne thus alluded to by his brethren, and absent from Scotland nearly half a century, Dr. RAMSAY had at all times been closely connected with his native country as a landowner, and by correspondence with the friends and associates of his early years: and although he had recently before purchased an estate in England, in the neighbourhood of Alnwick, on his retiring from Alnwick he chose Edinburgh as his place of residence, where he arrived with his family in June, 1834, and continued until his death. To the learning of his profession and great general literary acquirements, he had a fine taste and exact knowledge in antiquities and the fine arts. But above all these, he was characterised by a benevolence of temper, exhibiting itself not only in the form stated by his professional brethren, but habitually productive of liberality, a kindness, and an urbanity of manner which originally gained and permanently preserved for him a degree of general favour, which neither time nor professional rivalship either diminished or impaired. In politics, of the school and warmly attached to the principles, and it may be added to the persons, of Charles James FOX and Charles, now Earl GREY, Dr. RAMSAY was a Whig in the best sense of the term-liberal, independent, straightforward, zealous, and consistent throughout his whole life. His remains were interred in the family burying-ground in the church yard of Dumfries, his funeral having been conducted, according to a wish expressed by himself, in a letter addressed to a friend, in a strictly private and unostentatious manner.-Correspondent of the Scotsman, July 16. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-On Wednesday last, John BELLAS, of Little Strickland, a labourer on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, was killed on the line near that place by the falling of a quantity of earth upon him. When the accident occurred the unfortunate man was undermining a portion of earth for the purpose of facilitating its removal-a dangerous mode too often had recourse to, when it gave way and completely buried him. He survived but a few moments after being extricated. Both his thighs were broken, and his head and other parts of his body were dreadfully injured. He has left a wife and seven young children to lament his untimely fate. An inquest was held on the body the following day, before Mr. THOMPSON, coroner, and a verdict in accordance with the above facts was returned. CASE OF POISONING AT LOCKERBY.-We understand that in the case of Mrs. WALKER, Lockerby, at present a prisoner in the Jail of Dumfries, an indictment was served on Saturday last, and that her trial before the High Court of Justiciary will take place on the 29th curt.
