There they were examined by a constable called Dogberry. The watchman gave evidence to the effect that Borachio had said that he had received a thousand ducats for conspiring against Hero. Leonato was not present at this examination, but he was nevertheless now thoroughly convinced Of Hero's innocence.
A Pennsylvania-Dutch justice of the peace in one of the interior townships of Ohio had a man arraigned before him for stealing a pig. One witness swore that he distinctly saw the theft committed; eight swore that they never saw the accused steal a pig, and the verdict was worthy of Dogberry. "I discharge the accused," said the justice.
One that hath two gowns, and everything handsome about him!" His friend laughed the more, and they betook themselves to the College stories, of which the quotation from Dogberry seemed to have reminded them. There was something curious and affecting in their manner to each other.
Shakespeare has contented himself with showing us his Dogberry and Verges, his Shallow and Slender, and Silence, to such a degree as may sufficiently display their humours; but he has not filled whole acts with them, and, even if he had, a five-act play is a small field for the display of prolix foolishness as compared with a three-volume novel.
The law stood something like that, and was impartially administered by the Auckland Dogberry.
"And more than that," I continued, "I am only nineteen years of age; that alone is sufficient to incapacitate me." "Young man," said the magistrate, with all the solemnity and wisdom of a Dogberry, "whether you are a Yankee or a Calmuck, whether your are sixty years old or sixteen, it matters not.
Landlords can't name their ancestors with impunity just now." "I name mine only as showing a reason for a natural regard for my paternal acres." "That you might do, if you were a tenant; but not as a landlord. In a landlord, it is aristocratic and intolerable pride, and to the last degree offensive as Dogberry says, 'tolerable and not to be endured."
Not far from this came Nettlecombe Tout; to the west, Dogberry Hill, and Black'on near to the foreground, the beacon thereon being built of furze faggots thatched with straw, and standing on the spot where the monument now raises its head. At nine o'clock the troops marched upon the ground some from the camps in the vicinity, and some from quarters in the different towns round about.
The customary garnish made her free or the prison, and next morning a brief interview with the Lord Mayor restored Moll to liberty but not to forgetfulness. Instantly a retainer, in the true garb and accent of the country, carried the news to Dogberry, and sent him off to Ludlow on the costliest of fool's errands.
Of course your later books have harder work cut out for them than those of any other writer. They have had "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for a rival. The brightest torch casts a shadow in the blaze of a light, and any transcendent success affords the easiest handle for that class of critics whose method is the one that Dogberry held to be "odious."
