extraordinary grsvity. It turne I out that Waddingt,en
has been employed by a Mr. Poole, a coal merchant,
infoim the people of this metropolis where they can get
coals cheap, and had consequently marshalled a `et of •
standard or pole bearers to bear these glad tidings to every
part. Snow, the constable had turned two of these men
off the Gaut path, and Mr. Waddington came for ard
su
der justice done to these loitered mln, and to protect the
liberty of the subject, which hail been outraged in their
persons. Mr. Nobler pointed oat to Mr. Waddington thug
these men had eerie sobjected themselves to a penalty of
5/ under Mr. Taylor's Act, _but Waddington knew the
law better than Mr. llobler, and persisted iu hi. complailtet.
—The towel Mayor. however, dismissed it, telling him he

for trial.

purpose of setting the 1101130 on fire; and that she ' was
advised to do so by a Mrs. Street, who lived

looked like gangrenej; that it was necessary prethois to
inoculation to prepare the patient by a course of medicine,
which depended upon the habit of body, and wet of
opinion that if a medical man had been called in after the

was a very virulent infection of the small-pox. The Jury
considered it s case of gnat importance as it regarded the
public health, and after a long deliberation returned the
tattooing verdict :—Tbat the child died in consequence of
