by which we could'get at them were bristling with

The Marshal Prince of Essling so disposed his
army as to be able to unite it in four hours. The

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR,

The candour %tith which you publish the ebulli-
tions of both parties in the' Vaccine contest, for in
truth, the matter of fac.: seems to have resolved it-
seit into a,party dispute, evinces your disposition to
in,4,ritigate the result of the experiment for tie real
benefit of mankind, and although Mr. Brown will
doUbtless be induced to reply to your correspondent,
-, of 'Clapham, you may not, perhaps,
he averse to receive the observations of one who
has read with attention the arguments on both sides
of he question.

- Nothing which I can remember was ever received
with the ardour, the enthusiarn, and the voluntary
subicriptions than attended Vaccination. The mass
of evidence which supported the discovery was op-
posed by only three persons, and so weak an oppo-
sition, added to the celebrity of the Village Prac,
titioner, who seemed to have enlightened the faculty
of pnysic. His birth-day Was annually celebrated ;
his name was beatified; he received the encomiums
of the Emperor of the French nation ; the blessings
of the Pope ; and the ldVanghooe belt of the Athe-
rican nations.

• The ihfee Anti-vaccinisis steadily pursuing their
first opiniows--that the experiment was irrational
and unphilosophical, found their conjatures sup-
ported by a train of. fac'ts, and-I appeal to Dr. Wol-
laston, Secretary to the Royal.Soctety, for his reasi,n
why he refused to sign the advertiiement of the
Supposing Committee, which sat on the Holborn
cases, of Mr. Hodges's children:
_ Ever i those fads, the discovtrer and his

friends have been aging Tr the dvrensive, and the
person who by his public merit and public rewards,
should have been the first to meet any oppoition to
his success, has uniformly, : on. every .occasion,
avoided the investigation Olfailures. At Ringwood,
he excused himself from complying with the request
nt a worthy INlerni'er of Parlament, by alleging his
son was 111 of •fever: At ChelteNiam, he left his
mends in, the torch, and hearing of the failures of
cases vaccinated by himsell;Se left the National
Insdlutiori in London, to which he had been ap-
pointed Director, and has ever since retired. under
the walls of Berkeley Castle,

The Societies whi,:h were carried on by Royal
authority, uncirr his name, have ceased to exist ;
the Insurance Offices which once were 'induccl to
rely on the security of Vaccination, net longer con-
sider it a protation the Stnall.pox Hospital, which-
departed frosts its salutary institution to follov7 the
fashions of, physic, hat( been obliged, by the nume-
rons failures, to tall into_ ttvir original intention.
Parliament has _twice demanded toe reason why
the public murmur at the practice, and have been
assured that it is not a security, that it is produCtive
of a 'series of new di,orders, and that it is too
frequently fatal. .The same objections to it which
lave atisci, in London, have been onserved in at,
most every great c•ty, both in England, in Scotland,
in France, Gentility, and other kingdotus, inso-
much that 'on ihe Continent they are obliged to bribe
with premiums tho,e who will encoart.ge it, which
is a powerful proof of the bias of the public mind
against it, and- while all these objeClions exist, the
County of Gloucester ate ob4;ed to enter into an
association that a certain number of them will not
int:c,tlate for small-pox.

Now, Mr. Editor, this leads to a suspicion that
no one of this Association is well enough acquainted
wish small-pox to venture his reputation by inocu-
lating fur and unless a prattittoner Is thoroughly
well skilled in this, exquisite piece of surgery, he
should not presume to enter upon it. How many
unfortunite per-ons, from the highest to the lowess,
_Lave been blinded, because the treatment of opt bal-
mia is forgotten ! and many must be the victims
to h bcfore the faculty again arrive at the
general kn 0.,% ledge of the nice management of ino-
culation.

COURT OF KINWS BENGE-1, Dsc(4.

HUMPiToN v. DfXot4.

The plaintiff in this case was the assigne_e on the
bankrupt estate of a ciachni.aker, of the name of
Davis, and the.aatiOn was brought to recover 2221.
as the, value of a curricle, chariot, caravan, sets of
harness, Ltc. entrusted by the b mkrupt. to the de-
fendant, who is the keei,er of the itepository, Bar-
bican, to be sold on the lirrikriipt's account, subse-
quent to the commission by Jarvis of an aet of bank-
ruptcy.
The fa& of an a& of bankruptcy having been
committed by Mr. Davis previous to the.artnies us
question- being sent to the Itepo,itory to be disposed
of, was proved. The price put upon the articles,
and under which they were not to be sold, was
proved by the bankrUpt to be 2.:2. anu a broker also
valued the articles at 2171.
For the defendant, a claim for commission, to the
amount of 221. was sat up, Ix inch was not disputed.
It wos, in addition, maintained, thht the articles sent
to be sold were greatly over-valued, some of them,
even to the extent of one-halt, being all they had
brought by public auction at the Repesitory.—
Evidence to this etre& also was alduced, but it ap-
peariog on the cross-examination that one of the
purchasers was brother-in-law to the drEqittitit, and
another of them a person who sometimes bought iu
at the defendant's sales.
Mr. PARKE, on the suggestion of Lprd Elienho-
rough, consented that a verdict should go against the,
defendant for the smaller valued amount, minus ti.e
commission, being 1951.

HOLLAND V. .TOMBS

The plaintiff in this case was the assignee.under a
commission of binakrupt, against Wm. Kinsey, -a
coach-maker, and the aatiou ai brought for the ba-
lance of the price of a curriele,. built by the bank-
rupt for the defendant, Captain Tombs,. and of cer-
tain 'extras, as they are called, furnished to said cur-
ricle.

It appeared than an agreement Dad been made br'-
tween Capt. Hanbury, a friend of Capt. Totnbs, and
the bankrupt; previous to the 13,!ildit)g of tie car-
riage iii.cinestion, -that the price should not exceed
.1201. or. 120 guineas ; certain alteration*: hal afrer7
wards been suggested by Cap. Hanbury in the
course of the erection,, but still under-the express de-
claration that he had no authority tri,rai,se. the pike
above-the sum of 1201. agieed'on.; Capt. Hanbury,
at the same time, however, represented friend
as extremely liberal, and :one hot likely-lo allow
a tradesman to lose by him ; in consequence of
which alterations and extras to the atnoont of up-
wards of 801. were'inade, among others, a rumble
with trunks. These, to the ao,ount of about Gob
were ordered or approved of by the defendant him-
self; but it appeared that to a greater extent above the
sum agreed for, than the alterations so ordered or ap-
proved of, payments had been made by the defend-
ant to the bankrupt.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH, in these circumstances,. the
agent fir the 'defendant having no right to bind him
beyond the sum for which he wa: authorized to con-
tratl ; and builders of curricks or coaches having no
right to incommode the vehicle with rumbles, or any.
other excrescence or incambranee for which they had
received no orders, thought the plaintiff must 14a in
his present demand.

NIL JEKYLL, for the plaintiff; agr,ed in this re-
mark, and was afrAd, (hat his aunt must consent to
be rumbled out of Court. •

GI\ONSDORFF V. •USGALA.
The plaintiff in this case' was fte nephew and ad-
ministrator .of a
.person named John Gotlieb Grouts-
dortr, who .was a journeyman piano-forte-maker, in
Berwick-street, Soho, and the defendant was a fo-
reigner, who, down 'to the period of his death, had
resided in the same room with the deceased, whose
prnperiy consisting of a quantity of money in guineas,
hall guineas, and svven shilling pieces, to the value
of One hundred pounds ; of bank of England notes
to the amount of 41. ; of Batik notes in a pocket-
book, to the amount of 501. and of wearing apparel
to ti,e amount of. 201. the .defendant was charged
to have appropriated to his own use, and for the re-
covery of winch the present adion of -trover was
brought.

It- was proved in evidence, that the defendant, im-;
mediately subsequent to the-death of the deceased,
• gave out to sonic friends who called to inquire into
the destination of his property, that there was a will,
and that he himself was entitled to ever,- thing. On
their remonstrance, a search was made in the repo-
sitories of the deceased, but no will was found. , A
quantity of guineas, &c. to.theamouut of from 801.
to tool, were seen in a chimer; the-defendant
sell exhibited four 11. notes and two silver watches,
and the petsons Making the search, and who were
examined as witnesses,saw also two pocket-books, of
the contents of which they were ignorant, anda purse
containing a quantity of foreign silver -coin,: which
it was admitted had since been delivered up to the
plesept plaintiff; lie having also, in consequence of,.
a Caveat lodged at Doclors'Commons, beenenabied
to recover 10.501. Stock, standing in the name of the
deceased.

A plea bad been put in for the defendant, but no
appearance was made for him on the hial.

- Lord ELLENBOROUGH instructed- the Jury, that in
such a case as this, where the action was breught
contra spoliatorem, there was no necessity for that
exatl proof of value which they woctid r«pire in a
common case. Here the delendant had it in 11;s
power, by prcducing the articles charged to have
been carried WI, to spew that thtir value was over-
rattd.
