They did not now take his 23l., but placed him behind one of them on horseback, handcuffed him, and threw a great cloak over him. Now, is it likely that highwaymen would carry handcuffs which closed, says Harrison, with a spring and a snap? The story is pure fiction, and bad at that.
Blandy's trade-prices, to which some 20 per cent, must be added for retail. 'Grand Old Oama de Lobos' is worth 70s., and the best Old Preserve wine 86s. The lowest price free on board is 23l, and the values rise from 40l. at four years old to 1OOl. at ten years old.
One of these miscreants wounded Harrison again, and stuffed his pockets full of 'a great quantity of money. If they had a great quantity of money, what did they want with 23l.? We hear of no other robberies in the neighbourhood, of which misdeeds the money might have been the profits. And why must Harrison carry the money?
On threshing, I found things as I expected, the ears not filled, some of the capsules quite empty, and several others containing only withered, hungry grain, inferior to the appearance of rye. My best ears and grain were not fine; never had I grain of so low a quality: yet I sold one load for 21l. Since then the price has risen, and I have sold about two load of the same sort at 23l.
But I had aspired to be a disciple of Esper Indiman, gentleman adventurer, and here was a chance to take out a letter of marque on my own account one must look Fortune in the face to catch her smile. And so I stood there immovable, until the dazzle in my eyes cleared away signifying that the ordeal was at an end. Then I lifted my hat and walked on, taking note of the house number 23l.
His inventory includes, not only the chattels and effects of every description belonging to the undersigned, as yearly tenant of this habitation, but also those appertaining to Mr. Thomas Traddles, lodger, a member of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple. Thomas Traddles, for the sum Of 23l 4s 9 1/2d is over due, and is NOT provided for.
And indeed so large an introduction of those primitive riches, flocks and herds, is almost sure to give a spur to industry, and to assist the increasing prosperity of a rising colony. Under the influence of this cause it is related that land in Western Australia, which was bought for 23l. an acre in December, 1839, was sold for 60l. an acre in February, 1840.
