Richard Hardie, plaintiff's father, a most essential witness, was ill at Clare Court. Medical certificate and letter herewith. Compton opposed.

He heard the two attorneys, and delivered himself to this effect, only of course in better legal phrase: "I shall make no order.
So to dinner at home, and then down to Redriffe, to see a ship hired for Tangier, what readiness she was in, and found her ready to sail. Then home, and so by coach to Mr. Povy's, where Sir W. Compton, Mr. Bland, Gawden, Sir J. Lawson and myself met to settle the victualling of Tangier for the time past, which with much ado we did, and for a six months' supply more. So home in Mr.

She talked of the "good white man" who had lived in the cave when Muata was a boy. "Often have I sat here and talked with him, and well do I remember his teaching." "Let us hear, mother," said Compton. "He taught us how to till the land, so that it would produce other crops than manioc.
