^The Inns of this country are un- 8er admirable regulations, which, improperly enforced, would prevent many iniquitous pra6tices carried gn by inn-keepers. These persons are licensed by justices of the peace, and are obliged to enter into recog- nizances for the maintenance of good order. Thus, if an inn-keeper refuse to receive a traveller into his house as a guest, or to furnish him with necessaries, on his offering a reasonable price, the former is lia- ble to an aftion for damages, and may be indi^t'id at the King's suit. In case any inn-holder refuse to sell his hay, oats, &:c. he is liable to fine and iniprisonment, by the 21 Jac. I. c. 21. And if any guest lose property in such a house, an aftion may be brought against the keeper of the inn for its recovery, or the adequate value. There are various ether regula- tlon, which are equally advanta- geous to the landlord, who is justi- fied in seizing the horse, or other article belonging to his guest, for the reckoning, till the debt is paid. And if a person leave his horse in the stable of an inn, the keeper may detain it till the owner pay the expence occasioned by feeding it : should the animal, however, con- sume as much provender as Is equal to his value, upon a fair appraise- ment, the landlord is empowered to sell it, and reimburse himself. INOCULATION, or budding, in horticulture, an operation per- formed on apricots, neftarines, plums, cherries, or other stone- fruit trees, and also upon oranges and jasmines. It is reputed to be superior to every, other species of graiting, and is effefted in the following rrianner: A sharp knife, with a flat handle, liiust be first procured, in order to • uo.

The cuttings being then separated from the trees that are to be propagated, a smooth part of the stock must be selefted, about five or six inches above the surface of the soil, if intended for dwarfs ; but if designed for standards, they should be budded at least five feet above the ground. An horizontal incision is nor to be made across the bark of the stock, frorn the middle of which a perpendicular slit should be di-awn, about two inches in length. The leaf is next cut off the bud, the foot-stalk remaining entire ; and a cross cut is made about an inch be- neath the eye, after which the bud is to be cut off, with part of the Vv-ood adhering to it. The bark of the stock is then to be gently raised v/ith the handle of the knife, and the bud inserted exactly between the rind and the wood of the stock ; after which they are bound closely with the bass, care being taken to leave the eye of the bud open. In the course of three weeks^ or a month after the inoculation is performed, those buds which have a fresh and flourishing appearance will be joined, when the bandage ought to be removed. In the suc- ceeding month of March, the stock must be cut off in a sloping direc- tion, about three inches above the bud: the shoot proceeding from it should now be fastened to the re- mainder of the stock for one year, after which the latter ought to be removed by the knife, im.mediately above the bud. The proper season for this opera- tion, is from tlae middle of June to C thai
