that the InOculatiOn of the -di.ease among Sheep,

from the SMall Pox than anf'pus•that can be 'derived
from: Cows. The Advocates, for Vaccination are
scandalized at the daring novelty .of this new ex-

been towards them.

in sufficient plenty. It is railed a sunfish. _ _

these and other marks, it was regarded as,"P species of

John Evans, Clerk at thd 'Essex tank said, be
waited on the Defendant the ist of January, for
paynient 'of the Note. His answer was, that he
knevithe 2 °oh was due, but, that Bayford's ;ate,.
cutors had a security for the same sum of money,
and.heWOtild. call' upon his Attorn6..y and ask 'wk.:
thei-he ought to pay it ornot, .and would let him
know ; he came to the Witness about two how's af.
terwards; and said, he should not pay it then, but
must take time to consider'of it ; on asubsequent
day he called-at the Office of the Plaintiff's Attor-
ney, while the Witness was .present, and said .1:e
should be .gladto put an end to. the Aai,n; anti
would pay the zool. and interest.; but he was
threatened with .an A6tion. if lie did, in order to
make.himpay it over again. He
_added, that .he
was confident the money belonged to' Mr. Perkins,
the Plain'tiff;. ,

Mr. Serjeant B6GT observed,, that'the money cer_
tainly wou!d.beloug to.him 'SQL= time or other, but
it would, be after the dOth of Mrs. Bayford, .to
whom it. had been left for her life by old Mr. Bay..
ford.

The Judge thought this was no evidence of an
acknowledgment of the debt which entitled the
Plaintiff to recover.—Aceordinglyl under his
Lordship's diredion,, he was nonsiiited.

EDINBURGH, Aucusr lg.

• Mr. STACKPOOL, of Grosvenor-place, in Lon-
don, who annually travels ihrough the greatest part
of this Kingdom, set out yesterday from Pool's and
Walker's Hotel, for the Highlands.

Tuesday morning a widow, woman, keeping the
Queen's Head public-house at Uornchuteh, in Es.
sex, Was shot dead by a soldier of the name of Pa.
trick Johnson, a private in the i4th Dragoons, who
was quartered upon he'r. The house being shut up
later, than, usual, the street 'dOor was forced open,
when-she:was found breathing her last,
~and. all me.
dical 'relief proved ineffeettud for her recovery.
Johnson disappearing, suspicion was attached try
him. A number of people went in pursuit of hi:n
on the varitnis.roads leading 'to Lon on, He was
traced as far as the Isle of Dogs, disgeiTed as a coun_
trvman seeking for wark, but there lost sighraal.
Yesterday' morning, hOwever, he was a}viehenti-
ed by the Officer's of the Police .Office ,in Worship
Street, on board the Tender which is stationesi off
the Tower, for the 'reception of impressed or Vo.
lunteer Seamen. Johnson had entered as a Volun-
teer. Ort,bis examination before the. Sitting Ma.
uistrates ,in Worship. street he • confessed that
was a deserter, but strenuously denied all knowledge
.of the murder. He was committed for further ex_
amination, and the proper inquiries were ordered to
be immediately made at Hornchnrch.
A Canse of some importance, to Pirish Overseers
was to have been tried at Norwich Assizes, which,
for the infbrmation of persons•holding those offices,
as well as for Gentlemen of the Faculty, it is
thought 'necessary briefly to, state :—Mr. Bayly, a
Surgeon at.: Swaffham, was engaged- by the Over-
seers of the Parish of East- Walton to wend their
Poor, and having been called in to the assistance of
some certificated Paupers (who resided there, but
did not belong to the Parish) in- pert' dangerchis
cases.; and which required oarticolar skill and at.
tention, the Overseers afterwards refused payment
of hii bill, upon the ground -of his inclutting a
charge for these persons---the fad being, that 'he
was called in with their privity and knowledge,
trough , not by their actual order. 'An Adion was
brought, and the, Overtseers at first resisted the 'de.
Mandl; but- upon, better advice and more mature
consideration, after putting the Parish to a very
considerable -expence, they' thought proper to coin-
preimise the business, and to pay all .expenses,
thereby recognizing the justice as w ell as the hums..
nity Of that Law which is necessary for all Parish
Officers to know, viz.7.---That if paupers (whether
certificated or not) are permitted to remain in a
parish, and require (in cases of immediate danger)
the assistance of a Surgeon, the Overseers of such
parishes are accountable to that Surgeon ; and
professional man is not bound, at the hazard of hiS
patient's life,. to hunt after the, parish they imme•
diately belong toybefore he renders assistance,
