NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 258. 



Loaus : see Monast. Anglic, vol. v. pp. 695-6.). 

 A place with a name more resembling that in 

 question is NutsheUirig, which is mentioned in the 

 Monasticon (vol. i. p. 217.), and in the Inquisitiones 

 post Mortem, as a manor belonging to St. Swithin's, 

 Winchester. Is this place in Hampshire, as is 

 stated in the Inquisitiones, or is the Index to the 

 Monasticon right in giving Wilts as the county ?

 times ? J- C- R-

Vaccination. — In the exceedingly interesting 

 Private Journal and Literary Remains of John 

 Byrom, lately issued by the Chetham Society, 

 vol. i. part i. at p. 148., Thursday (June 3), 1725, 

 is the following passage : 



" Went to St. Dunstan's Church to hear Dr. Lupton : 

 came too late, and there were two men in my seat, so I 

 went to the Society— Sir Isaac presiding. Dr. Jurin 

 read a case of smallpox ; where a girl, the writer's sister, 

 who had been inoculated, and had been vaccinated, was
