In 1711, in South Carolina, several Negroes ran away from their masters and "kept out, armed, robbing and plundering houses and plantations, and putting the inhabitants of the province in great fear and terror"; and Governor Gibbes more than once wrote to the legislature about amending the Negro Act, as the one already in force did "not reach up to some of the crimes" that were daily being committed.
We left Clinton this morning, and have just now arrived by the cars. Charlie came in last evening, to our great surprise, so we did not scruple to leave Lilly.... The Baton Rouge party returned late this evening. In spite of all preparation, Gibbes was horrified at the appearance of home. Friday, October 24th. A letter from Jimmy, the first we have received since New Orleans fell.
Of course, of the larger ones there is nothing to be found after Professor Gibbes has gone over the ground, but among the lower orders there are a great many in store for a microscopic observer. I have only to regret that I cannot apply myself more steadily. I find my nervous system so over-excited that any continuous exertion makes me feverish.
He could easily have stolen much more than the hundred pounds if he had wished to do so, but I have never known him to take a penny that did not belong to him. 'Will you favour me with the names of your guests, Mr. Gibbes? 'Viscount Stern sat at my right hand, and at my left Lord Templemere; Sir John Sanclere next to him, and Angus McKeller next to Sanclere.
God would not take him yet! He will come again! Hush, God is good! Not dead! not dead! O Gibbes, come back to us! 11th. O God, O God, have mercy on us! George is dead! Both in a week.

I want to get the particulars of that. 'I haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about, replied Gibbes, thoroughly bewildered. 'You will need to be more definite, I fear, if you are to get any help from me. 'I cannot be more definite, because I have already told you all I know. 'What bearing has all this on our own case?

I see myself walking home with Mr. McG just after sundown, meeting Miriam and Dr. Woods at the gate; only that was a Friday instead of a Saturday, as this. From the other side, Mr.
The carriage stopped, "Gibbes! Gibbes!" I cried. "My darling!" and he had his great strong arm around me; the left was hanging in a sling. Slowly the others moved down the steps towards him.

Probably two of the guests were the participators in the silver spoon comedy, but, be that as it may, it followed that one at least of the men around Mr. Gibbes's table knew the episode of the silver spoons. Perhaps Bentham Gibbes himself was cognisant of it. It followed, therefore, that the easiest plan was to question each of the men who partook of that dinner.
