The next week was one of considerable perturbation, trouble, and excitement at Bullhampton, and in the neighbourhood of Warminster and Heytesbury. It soon became known generally that Jack the Grinder and Lawrence Acorn were in Salisbury gaol, and that Sam Brattle was wanted. The perturbation and excitement at Bullhampton were, of course, greater than elsewhere.
A month went by after the scenes described in the last chapter, and summer had come at Bullhampton. It was now the end of May, and, with the summer, Mary Lowther had arrived. During the month very little progress had been made with the case at Heytesbury. There had been two or three remands, and now there was yet another.
A Commission of very respectable men has been appointed to investigate grievances. So the thing will rest till the meeting of the States on September 13. There is a letter from Lord Heytesbury giving an account of his conversations with the Emperor of Russia. The Emperor is violent against the Bourbons; says very correctly that his treaties only oblige him to maintain a constitutional King.
As the day drew near for the final examination at Heytesbury of the suspected murderers, the day on which it was expected that either all the three prisoners, or at least two of them, would be committed to take their trial at the summer assizes, the Vicar became anxious as to the appearance of Carry Brattle in the Court.
Read a Memorandum by Lord Heytesbury, of a conversation he has had with the Emperor of Russia. The Emperor expects the early downfall of the Porte and a Revolution in France. Asks if another march to Paris would be possible? Lord Heytesbury saw Nesselrode afterwards and told him what the Emperor had said. Nesselrode said the Emperor always saw things en noir. He had a different opinion.
He concludes by announcing, that a panic had seized all parties to a greater extent than he ever remembers since the cholera; which panic, he thinks, will go on increasing as the extent of the failure becomes better known. Subordinates like Lord Heytesbury and Sir James Graham, writing to their chief can only hint their views.
"Who'll be his bailsmen?" said the Squire, coming away with his friend the parson from Heytesbury. "There will be no difficulty about that, I should say." "But who will they be, his father for one?" "His brother George, and Jay, at Warminster, who married his sister," said the parson. "I doubt them both," said the Squire. "He sha'n't want for bail. I'll be one myself, sooner. He shall have bail.
Hastings's pension before the Chairs; but I enclosed a memorandum showing all that had been done for old Hastings, and reminded the Duke that the Court could not grant above 200£ a year without the sanction of two Courts of Proprietors. Cabinet room. Lord Heytesbury seems to have shown Nesselrode the protocol about November 25.
Cabinet at 12. A letter has been received from Lord Heytesbury, from which it is clear that Russia will very soon resume altogether the exercise of her belligerent rights in the Mediterranean. Nesselrode communicated to him the blockade of Candia.
The policeman seemed to think that by that time, unless the Grinder were below the sod, his presence above it would certainly be proved. On this occasion the Heytesbury attorney made a very loud demand for Sam's liberation, talking of habeas corpus, and the injustice of carceration without evidence of guilt. But the magistrates would not let him go.
