_Fees for Inoculation_ (Vol. iv., p. 231.).--For the information of R.
W. B. I beg to send you the following extract from the vestry-book of
this parish:
"22 Jan. 1772.
"It is further ordered that such of the poor persons belonging to
this parish who like to be inoculated for the small-pox may be
inoculated at the expence of this parish, not exceeding five
shillings and threepence each person, provided it is done within
six weeks of the date hereof. And that each person to be
inoculated shall first produce a certificate under the hands of
one justice and one churchwarden to the inoculating surgeon, and
that the parish shall not pay for any one inoculated without such
certificate of the person belonging to Maidstone."
