At Basford near Nottingham on Tuesday se’nnight died, W. VICKERSTAFF, aged 14, of that dreadful malady, the Hydrophobia. He was bit by a dog in two fingers on Wednesday 15th June, and on Sunday July 10th his complaint first excited the attention of his friends. The following day, the nature of the disease in their minds past a doubt, professional assistance was applied for. The symptoms are those which are considered decisively characteristic of the disease and unfortunately such was the morbid sensibility, that powerful medicines given in very large doses, had not any effect, he expired quite exhausted by convulsive spasms on the third day after the attack.

COURT OF CHANCERY – Samuel HALL of Basford v. TOWLE and Others. Mr HART moved for an injunction to restrain the defendants from pirating and using the invention of the plaintiff (who is a bas1partner in the house of G.F. URLING and Company in the Strand) for improving thread, or yarn, an infringement of the patent he had obtained for the exclusive use of that invention. The patent was obtained in November 1817 to make thread stronger, smoother and finer, and plaintiff had expended €5,000 and upwards on its development, to market under the name of “URLING’s New Improved Lace”, resulting in Her Majesty granting URLING and Company permission to supply her exclusively with lace. In February plaintiff was suspicious of others, and placed a ladder at night against the window of defendants manufactory, and saw them carrying on the process of improvement invented by him. His Lordship, having examined several specimens of the lace and thread, granted an injunction.
