ANNUAL REGISTER, 1805. 



inoculated with the cow-pox about 

 four years since, by a surgeon 

 Barnes, near Pewsey, Wilts, who 

 pronounced her out of danger of the 

 small-pox, as the vaccination had its 

 proper ell'ect. Her brother, she 

 stated, was inoculated by the same 

 person, and he also took the small- 

 pox a few weeks since, and was af- 

 fli6ted in a shocking manner. — (Be- 

 fore confidence is placed in this ac- 

 count, it may be proper to ascertain 

 whether the vaccine matter made 

 use of was truly genuine.)

 ples, of Newark, co. Nottingham. 



Mr. Spencer, bricklayer, of Great 

 Peter-street, Westminster. He was 

 employed to remove a part of the 

 wall between Dean-street and Dean- 

 yard, when, owing to the badness 

 of the foundation, the whole of the 

 wall, near 20 feet long and 10 feet 

 high, fell down upon him, by which 

 he was so dreadfully bruised, as to 

 cause his death in a few minutes. 



25th. Aged 32, James Calder, 

 esq. late paymaster of the 2lst regi- 

 ment of light dragoons, who was 

 drowned in Woodbridge river, Suf- 

 folk, by a sailing-boat being upset 

 and sunk. His remains were in- 

 terred at Woodbridge with military 

 honours, attended by the whole of 

 his regiment, and the officers of the 

 artillery belonging to the garrison. 

 The volunteers were drawn up at 

 the end of the town, on each side of 

 the road, recumbent on their invert- 

 ed pieces, for the melancholy pro- 

 cession to pass through, and fell in 

 the rear. The coucouvse of people 



which the much-lamented «atas- 

 trophe, the respect in m hich captain 

 C. was held, and the impressive so- 

 lemnity of an officer's funeral, had 

 drawn together, was very great. — 

 He was a native of Scotland, and 

 originally educated for the church ; 

 extremely beloved by all his ac- 

 quaintance ; and had served in the 

 West-Indies, and attained the rank 

 of captain before he joined the 21»t 

 light dragoons, as paymaster. He 

 married Miss Strickland, daughter 

 of sir George S. of Boynton-hall, in 

 Yorkshire, whom he has left with 

 three children.

 the deceased (a journeyman tailor, 

 in the employ of Mr. Cooke, Tavi- 

 stock-street) and Reynolds, who 

 lodged in his master's house, con- 

 cerning the payment for some spi- 

 rits. The parties drank together 

 early in the morning, and left the 

 Northumberland Arms in 2 coaches, 

 to decide their quarrel by a battle. 

 During the contest, which lasted 20 

 minutes, no severe blows were 

 given ; but the combatants closed, 

 and fell in the last round, when the 

 deceased was struck speechless, and 

 expired before assistance could be 

 got,
