Houlton. I do.
Couns. for the Cr. I think, Sir, you are a clergyman?
Houlton. I am.
Couns. for the Cr. Pray, Sir, give me leave to ask you, whether you have had any particular connection with the Prisoner?
Houlton. Yes, Sir, I was particularly connected with him. I was his officiating clergyman.
Couns. for the Cr. Give me leave to ask you, whether you can give the Court any information concerning the number of persons inoculated by the Prisoner, during the last three or four years?
Houlton. In the year 1764, he inoculated
| 1629 | |
| In 1765 | 4347 |
| In 1766 | 7816 |
| In all | 13792 |
To this number should be added 6000 that have been inoculated by Mr. Sutton’s assistants, as he taught them his method, and as they use none but his medicines. So that he may be said to have inoculated, within these three years, 20000 persons.
C. for the Cr. How many of this number have died in consequence of inoculation?
