would not allow any Dog’to come near her, probably from her 
n'ot being accuflomed to be with Dogs, and being always

home a bitch Jackal with young, which had brought forth 
fioon after his arrival ; and that he had given the bitch Jackal 
and one puppy to Mr. Bailey, Bird-merchant, in Piccadilly. I
