"The moral is that we must shift the ladies.
By reference to the Journals of the Law Society at Osgoode Hall, we find that this license was granted on the 6th of April, 1803, by Lieutenant-Governor Peter Hunter. We further find that on the same day similar licenses were granted to four other gentlemen, all of whom were destined to become well-known citizens of Canada, viz., William Dickson, D'Arcy Boulton, John Powell, and William Elliott.
The Mussulman populace, already supplied with arms and ammunition ad libitum, chafed at being confined within the cities, for the pasha, aware of the danger of an open outbreak at the capital, had several times shut the gates to prevent a sortie en masse of the rabble intent on attacking the consulates, for we were now known as divided into two parties; the Russian, the Italian, the Greek, and myself friendly to the Cretans, and Derché and Dickson to the pasha; the Austrian and Swedish completing the corps, both old men, the latter having witnessed the insurrection of 1827-30, taking little part in the discussions.
"Maybe auld McCunn wouldn't get through the coal-hole." "You're an impident laddie," said the outraged Dickson. "It's no' likely we're coming with you. Breaking into other folks' houses! It's a job for the police!" "Please yersel'," said the Chieftain, and looked at Heritage. "I'm on," said that gentleman. "Well, just you set out the morn as if ye were for a walk up the Garple glen.
Their salaries were raised from time to time, in proportion to the increased irksomeness and responsibility of their duties; and it is a fact worth noting, that whereas Mr. Bell, as Sheriff-Substitute, had only £400, Mr. Dickson, in the same sphere of labour, has now £1400 per annum. On the death of Sir Archibald Alison in 1867, Mr. Bell was appointed Sheriff-Principal.
"Any one is bound to have when batters are picking them off the clouds or out of the dirt. It doesn't make much difference where they are." "This man Merriwell can't hold us down as he has done," asserted Dickson, Harvard's first baseman. "I don't know; he is pretty cagey," admitted Nort Gibson.

The laird of Glenfernie stayed longer from home than, riding away, he had expected to do. It was the latter half of August when he and Black Alan, Tam Dickson and Whitefoot, came up the winding road to Glenfernie door.
The objective seemed so enterprising that Dickson was impelled to ask questions, and heard, in what appeared to be in the accents of the Colonies, the tale of a career of unvarying calamity. There was nothing merry or philosophic about this adventurer. Nay, there was something menacing.
"Just a small tumble. It's very near mended already. Ay, I've had a grand walking tour, but the weather was a wee bit thrawn. It's nice to see you back again, Mamma. Now that I'm an idle man you and me must take a lot of jaunts together." She beams on him as she stays herself with Tibby's scones, and when the meal is ended, Dickson draws from his pocket a slim case.
"I declare solemnly," wrote Nelson to Davison four days after reporting, "that I do not know" officially, of course "that I am going to the Baltic, and much worse than that I could tell you. Sir Hyde is on board sulky. Stewart tells me, his treatment of me is now noticed. Dickson came on board to-day to say all were scandalized at his gross neglect.
