unchanged through both innings of the Gentlemen. In 1859 he went with the first English team to America, meeting with great success against local teams. He was a member of George Parr's All England XI and visited Australia with Parr's team in the winter of 1863. In 1866 his career was out short by an accident to his leg while playing for Notts v. Yorkshire. From 1870 till his death he lived mainly at Liverpool, where from 1870 to 1872 he was professional at Princes Park, and in 1871 caterer, groundman, and bowler to the Liverpool club. In 1875 he was employed in a Liverpool warehouse, but in later years he fell into poverty, and died in Liverpool workhouse infirmary on 4 Nov. 1901.
Fully six feet in height, and weighing over 15 stone, Jackson was a first-class round arm bowler, with an easy action, combining variety and accuracy with tremendous pace, which gained for him the title of the 'demon bowler.' Jackson figures in many of Leech's famous 'Punch' cricket sketches, where the village cricketer is seen bandaged after bruises inflicted by Jackson's lightning deliveries, but showing pride in his sufferings (see Punch, 29 Aug. 1863).

JACKSON, JOHN HUGHLINGS (1835–1911), physician, born at Providence Green, Green Hammerton, Yorkshire, on 4 April 1835, was the youngest son in the family of four sons and one daughter of Samuel Jackson, a yeoman owning his own land at Providence Green, and at one time also a brewer. His mother, whose maiden surname was Hughlings, was of Welsh extraction. His three brothers settled in New Zealand, where one of them. Major William Jackson, greatly distinguished himself in the Maori war, and was afterwards accidentally drowned. From the village school of Green Hammerton, Jackson passed successively to schools at Tadcaster, Yorkshire, and at Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, but owed, in his own opinion, little to his instruction there. Apprenticed at York to William C. Anderson, M.R.C.S. (father of Dr. Tempest Anderson), he began his medical education at the York Medical and Surgical School, and continued it at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where Sir James Paget was one of his teachers. After matriculating at London University and qualifying M.R.C.S. and L.S.A. in 1856, he was until 1859 house surgeon to the dispensary at York, and was there intimately associated with Thomas Laycock [q. v.], then physician to the dispensary. Returning to London in 1859, he thought of giving up medicine in order to devote himself to philosophy, but was dissuaded by (Sir) Jonathan Hutchinson, to whom he had an introduction, and was, through Hutchinson's influence, appointed to the staff of the Metropolitan Free Hospital. He also became in 1859 lecturer on pathology at the London Hospital, and in the summer session he lectured on histology and the microscope. In 1860 he graduated M.D. at St. Andrews. In 1863 he was appointed assistant physician to the London Hospital and lecturer on physiology in the medical school. He became physician in 1874, and remained on the active staff till 1894. He was for a time one of the physicians to the Islington Dispensary, and a clinical assistant to Mr. Poland at the Moorfields Eye Hospital.
Meanwhile in May 1862 Jackson was made assistant physician to the National Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic in Queen Square. This institution was established in 1859. When Dr. Jackson joined the staff, Dr. Charles Edward Brown-Sequard [q. V. Suppl. I] was one of the physicians there, and he was succeeded in 1863 by Dr. Charles Bland Radcliffe [q. v.]. Brown Sequard led Jackson to devote his attention chiefly to diseases of the nervous system. Jackson remained on the active staff of the hospital until 1906, when he became consulting physician.
In 1868 Jackson, who had become M.R.C.P. London in 1860, was elected F.R.C.P., and in 1869 he delivered the Gulstonian lectures at the College of Physicians — an honour usually conferred on the most distinguished newly elected fellow. His subject was 'Certain Points in the Study and Classification of Diseases of the Nervous System.' He was also Croonian lecturer at the college in 1884, his subject being ' Evolution and Dissolution of the Nervous System,' and he became Lumleian lecturer in 1890, choosing the subject of 'Convulsive Seizures.' Thus he had the unusual distinction of being chosen to deliver three courses of lectures before the college. He was a member of the council of the college in 1888 and 1889. He was elected F.R.S. in 1878. Jackson's main work was done in neurology. His investigations fall roughly
