While Gascoyne was reading the letter to which we have referred, Keona suddenly placed his left leg behind surly Dick, and, with his unwounded fist, hit that morose individual such a tremendous back-handed blow on the nose, that he instantly measured his length on the ground.
He should call no witnesses himself; as to permission to others to call them, that must be determined by the House. This question and this answer gave birth immediately to great disputes upon the subject. Aldermen Sawbridge, Newnham, and Watson; Lords Penrhyn and Maitland; Messrs. Gascoyne, Marsham, and others, spoke against the admission of the evidence which had been laid upon the table.
"And yet it is said he takes fits of remorse at times, and would fain change his way of life if he could," continued Gascoyne. "That I might guess," returned the other; "most wicked men have their seasons of remorse. Can you tell me nothing of him more definite than this, friend?"
"After all, it matters little what is done with me," said Gascoyne, in a resigned voice. "I am a fool to resist thus. You need not fear that I will offer any further resistance, my man. Do your duty, whitever that may be." "That won't do," said Dick, stoutly; "ye must promise not to holler out." "I promise," said Gascoyne, sternly.
In another moment they rushed up the hill, led on by Montague, Gascoyne, Henry, and Thorwald. But the savages did not await the shock. Seized with a complete panic, they turned and fled in utter confusion. Just as this occurred, Mr Mason began to recover consciousness.
These observations, however, did not satisfy all those, who belonged to the opposite party. Lord Penrhyn contended for a decision without a moment's delay. Mr. Gascoyne relented; and said, he would allow three weeks to the abolitionists, during which their evidence, might be heard. At length the debate ended; in the course of which, Mr. Pitt and Mr. Fox powerfully supported Mr.
One would have thought that a motion, so reasonable and so constitutional, would have met with the approbation of all; but it was vehemently opposed by Mr. Gascoyne, Alderman Newnham, and others. The plea set up was, that there was no precedent for referring a question of such importance to a committee.
Having learned from Corrie all about the friendship that existed between the widow and Gascoyne, he listened with the utmost consideration to her. "It is impossible," said he, shaking his head; "I cannot set him free." "Do his late services weigh nothing with you?" pleaded the widow. "My dear madam," replied Montague, sorrowfully, "you forget that I am not his judge.
"Oh! why run so great a risk as this?" said she, earnestly. "I was born to run risks, I believe," replied Gascoyne, in a sad low voice. "It matters not. My being on the island is the result of Manton's villainy my being here is for poor Henry's sake and your own, as well as for the sake of Alice the missionary's child. You have been upright, Mary, and kind, and true as steel ever since I knew you.
This is how it is: Young Henry Stuart thinks that although Gascoyne is a pirate, or rather was a pirate, he don't deserve to be hanged. Cause why? Firstly, he never committed no murder; secondly, he saved the lives o' some of your people Alice Mason among the rest; and, thirdly, he is an old friend o' the family as has done 'em good sarvice long ago.
