It is certain that Buckhurst stopped the blow wrested the horsewhip from the squire was challenged by him on the spot accepted the challenge fought the squire winged him appeared on the race ground afterwards, and was admired by the ladies in public, and by his father in private, who looked upon the duel and horsewhipping, from which he thus saved his patron's nephew, as the most fortunate circumstance that could have happened to his son upon his entrance into life.
I immediately addressed him, and said, "The last time I had the honour to meet you, Mr. Dowling, I believe was at Bow-street, when you stated to Mr. Birnie that you had struck me upon the Westminster hustings with a whip, and if you had not been prevented by the constables you would have given me a good horsewhipping."
I have friends there, and I will take her to their house. The English chaplain can marry us. We will then cut off to England. On the arrival of Russell I will go to him and demand my wife's property. If he refuses to disgorge I will at once commence legal proceedings against him, and by way of preliminary I will give the scoundrel a horsewhipping."
A few words the result of later investigation as to the actors in the events of this ride to Cambridge. When Bowden and Clarke had attested their loyalty by horsewhipping young Wiswell, they took him in charge to Cambridge, and vainly tried to persuade Nathaniel Hancock, the constable, to carry him before a magistrate.
She left England and appeared upon the Continent as a beautiful virago, making a sensation as the French would say, a succes de scandale by boxing the ears of people who offended her, and even on one occasion horsewhipping a policeman who was in attendance on the King of Prussia. In Paris she tried once more to be a dancer, but Paris would not have her.
When at last he reached home, he found his wife ill in bed and the children nearly starved for lack of food. He said never a word, but walked out of the cabin, tied himself to a tree, and was wildly horsewhipping himself when the cries of the frightened family summoned the neighbors and he was brought to reason. He never touched an intoxicating drop from that day to his death.
"A duel or a divorce or a horsewhipping they all come to pretty much the same thing all involve public scandal for the name of the woman who may be unhappily concerned and scandal clings, like the stain on Lady Macbeth's hand. In your case you can act your wife is above a shadow of suspicion but I oh, my God! how much women have to answer for in the miseries of this world!"
"Our young friend yonder says that he's got something to say to you. He's asked each of us to hang around and be a witness. Are you ready?" "Jud," burst out the sheriff, "you're an idiot! This overgrown booby needs a horsewhipping, and that's the sort of an answer I'd like to make to him." Having delivered this broadside he strode up and confronted Bull. It was a very poor move.
"Horsewhipping is what Brown deserves," growled the President. "Huntingdon, why are they after Cheney?" "I've told him to find out," replied Enoch. "I want him to put himself in the position of being able to give them the lie direct, and then resign." "Who is after him?" "I believe, if we can probe far enough, we'll find this same Mexican controversy at the bottom of it.
When I think of it now, I take no little shame at the memory of how I beat him. It is, indeed, with deep reluctance and yet deeper shame that I have brought myself to write of it. If I offend you with this account of that horsewhipping, let necessity be my apology; for the horsewhipping itself I have, unfortunately, no apology, save the blind fury that obsessed me which is no apology at all.
