There was a large quantity of sheep exhibited at

and all his fingers and thumbs ; Mar DOUOUTY,
his toes and part of his fingers; JOHN GILL, all his
toes except three. Though the ampuratious were
made by • man in the situation of a clerk to a mer-
chant, with a chime!, hammer, and common knife,

they would have been, if the sniputations had been
professionally performed. as more of the roots of the
fingers imam dna world have been deemed proper.
