I said: "I would prefer that the money be used to pay my lawyers, rather than be put into a medal as I did not wear gold in any way." We held a good many meetings.

Carter; "why, there's a ship-load of cat-o'-nine-tails goes out to Van Diemen's Land every quarter, and reserved specially for young females!" "Oh! I'll tell you all about it, sir," cried Mr. Vernon's housemaid; "sooner than be took up for perjuring, I'll tell you everything."

The Count of Brederode was left the choice of either taking the prescribed oath or resigning the command of his squadron of cavalry.
