Many of the chief English and Irish jurists of his time, Lord Camden, Lord Kenyon, Lord Erskine, Lord Kilwarden, Judges Chamberlain, Smith, and Kelly, Sir Samuel Rommilly, Sir Arthur Pigott, and several others, agreed fully in Grattan's doctrine, that the settlement of '82 was final and absolute, and "terminated all British jurisdiction over Ireland."
Pigott thinks that, under all the circumstances" here Angela hesitated a little "she and I had better go to Madeira and find out how things stand, and I almost think that she is right." "Certainly," answered Mr. Fraser, rising and looking out of the window. "You have a great deal at stake." "You do not think that it would be immodest?"
