Fortunately, being empty, only eight bullocks were yoked to the waggon, but they were the pick of the team. This accident strengthened our desire to dispose of the teams. I sold Fitzmaurice's remaining team at Townsville at a satisfactory figure, and my own two teams were sold on their arrival to one of the drivers on terms.
Mr. Fitzmaurice's examination of the coast to the westward extended to Dial Point, distant twenty-nine miles from the Tamar. In this space there are no less than five rivers, all with very short courses, and not navigable except by boats and small craft; and by these only, on account of the surf on their bars, in fine weather.
Lord Sunderland desired him to be sent about his business, saying that no such mean fellow should sit at his Treasury. Fitzmaurice's Shelburne, i. 34. I do not know what was at this time the state of the parliamentary interest of the ancient family of Lowther; a family before the Conquest; but all the nation knows it to be very extensive at present.
Six months later they did see, since it was mostly due to Fitzmaurice's efforts that the reform candidate was elected; as a consequence, Tommy became prosecuting attorney; and, to the amazement of the critics, made the best prosecuting attorney that the city had ever known. It was during the campaign that Mrs. Carriswood met him.
In this year, Fitzmaurice's sight became affected, and he made a trip to Sydney for expert advice. The whole business of the store and hotel was now thrown on my hands. It was found on Fitzmaurice's return, after an absence of six months, that he was almost blind.
Fitzmaurice's exploration terminated seventeen miles South 56 degrees East from Point Tarrrant, where another inlet was found of still greater magnitude and importance. The coast between fell back slightly, forming two shallow bights with the usual low monotonous mangrove shores, and extensive frontage of mud.

This statement, I believe, refers to a complimentary reference to Bentham in the preface to the French Code. Works, x. 458. Bentham says that he reached these conclusions some time before 1809: Works, iii. 435. Cf. Ibid. v. 278. Works, x. 425. See description in Bain's James Mill, 129-36.
Tell me why you have invited me to take luncheon with you." She flashed her question across at him carelessly enough, but he felt that she expected an answer, and that she was not to be deceived. "I wanted Miss Fitzmaurice's address," he said. "Naturally. But what else?" He sighed. "I want to know more than you will tell me, I am afraid," he said.
Lord Shelburne says that 'her husband, the last Duke, could neither read nor write without great difficulty. Fitzmaurice's Shelburne, i. 11. Dr. R. Chambers wrote in 1825: 'It is a curious fact that sixty years ago there was scarcely a close in the High Street but what had as many noble inhabitants as are at this day to be found in the whole town. Traditions of Edinburgh, ed. 1825, i. 72.
This impartial order I should think a sufficient refutation of the idle rumour that 'there was still something behind the throne greater than the throne itself. BOSWELL. Lord Shelburne, about the year 1803, likening the growth of the power of the Crown to a strong building that had been raised up, said: 'The Earl of Bute had contrived such a lock to it as a succession of the ablest men have not been able to pick, nor has he ever let the key be so much as seen by which he has held it.
