I was not sorry when, after a few days, Lord Glenfallen's carriage appeared at the door to convey us both from Ashtown; for any change would have been a relief from the irksomeness of ceremonial and formality which the visits received in honour of my newly-acquired titles hourly entailed upon me.
Williams' study at Ashtown Park, concerting with that worthy magistrate the best way of turning the new chaplain out of Jail. He found no difficulty. Mr. Williams had two very strong prejudices, one in favor of Hawes personally, the other in favor of the system pursued this two years in that jail. Egotism was here, too, and rendered these prejudices almost impregnable.
He then complimented the governor and drove home to his own house, Ashtown Park. There, after dinner, he said to a brother magistrate, "I inspected the jail to-day; was all over it." The next morning Fry, the morose, came into Robinson's cell with a more cheerful countenance than usual. Robinson noticed it. "You are put on the crank," said Fry. "Oh! am I?" "Of course you are.
Scully, to draw plans and take photographs showing the amount of the damage. Mr. Scully was surveyor to the Waterford Corporation. It was proposed at the next meeting of the Corporation that he should be dismissed from his office for having given evidence for Lord Ashtown.
