PS I mean Obed Coleby, for I ought not to call myself Dexter any more, and I would have scratched it out, only you always said it was better not to scratch out mistakes because they made the paper look so untidy. I like you very much, and Mrs Millett too, but I can't take her fiz physick to-night. Is physick spelt with a k?
"Now, mind this: in future you are to be Dexter." "All right: Dexter Coleby," said the boy. "No, no, no, no!" cried the doctor testily. "Dexter Grayson; and don't keep on saying `All right." "All " The boy stopped short, and rubbed his nose with his cuff. "Hah! First thing, my dear. Twelve pocket-handkerchiefs, and mark them `Dexter Grayson."

"I am sure I remember these features Are not you my old friend, Major Coleby?" "I wish your Grace's memory had been less accurate," said the old man, colouring deeply, and fixing his eyes on the ground. The King was greatly shocked. "Good God!" he said, "the gallant Major Coleby, who joined us with his four sons and a hundred and fifty men at Warrington!
"'Ordered, that his majesty's attorney-general do present the said John Brown, for conniving and maliciously carrying on the said conspiracy to take away the life of the said John Bingham, and others. "As to Coleby, he was turned out of the treasury for robbing it of a considerable sum of money.
"It cannot be too well considered," said Buckingham; "besides, every year makes the task of relief easier." "True," said the Duke of Ormond, "by diminishing the number of sufferers. Here is poor old Coleby will no longer be a burden to the Crown." "You are too severe, my Lord of Ormond," said the King, "and should respect the feelings you trespass on.
"It is wetted, but I think it is only with tears," answered the senior. "I cannot keep it from the poor young gentleman." "Ah, Master Coleby," said his comrade, in a gentle tone of reproach, "you would have been wearing a better coat than a yeoman's to-day, had it not been for your tender heart."
This is the proposal made to us by Wood in that pamphlet written by one of his commissioners; and the author is supposed to be the same infamous Coleby one of his under-swearers at the committee of council, who was tried for robbing the treasury here, where he was an under-clerk.

But nothing was said then till the surgeon had been up to see his patient once more, after which he returned, reported that Dexter had sunk into a sound slumber, and then took his leave. "I suppose we shall not go back to Coleby to-night?" said Sir James. "I shall not," said the doctor; "but, my dear Danby, pray don't let me keep you." "Oh! you will not keep me," said Sir James quietly.
From the second letter, written on August 15th, 1724, Monck Mason gives the following extracts: " When I returned to Dublin I met with resolutions concerning our halfpence, founded chiefly on the testimony of two infamous persons, John Brown and Coleby: as to the first of these, you will find his character in the votes of the house of commons, last parliament.
