That great despatch was sent to London by the Chancery officers, whom we fitted up with clothes, and for three days fattened them; which in strict justice they needed much, as well as in point of equity. And knowing, although they were London men, that fish do live in water, these two fellows went fishing all day, but never landed anything.
An Act of Parliament to abolish the Chancery was indeed passed in the August of this year. Well may Lord Keble sore lament, and the rest of the world rejoice, at such news. Joseph Keble was a well-known law reporter, a son of Serjeant Richard Keble. He was a Fellow of All Souls, and a Bencher of Gray's Inn; and, furthermore, was one of the Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal from 1648-1654.
He did not mean to do wrong: his conscience was clear; he had not given thought to the mischief they must do, sooner or later, to all concerned with the Court of Chancery.

The moths that is, their legs and wings and dried-up bodies flew out in clouds when they moved the blankets. Not the less had they discovered Paradise! For the moths, they must have found it an island of plum-cake! I do not know the history of the house how it came to be shut up with so much in it. I only know it was itself shut up in chancery, and chancery is full of moths and dust and worms.

We were only waiting, you know, for the termination of the chancery suit. It is terminated, Mr. Huntley; and against us."
