There, with an assurance that he would come to a garret-supper before leaving London, Reardon parted from his friend and turned westward. As soon as he had entered, Amy's voice called to him: 'Here's a letter from Jedwood, Edwin! He stepped into the study. 'It came just after you went out, and it has been all I could do to resist the temptation to open it.
But such is the justice of mankind. In these cases the punishment was excessive; but the offence was known and proved. The case of Lord Byron was harder. True Jedwood justice was dealt out to him. First came the execution, then the investigation, and last of all, or rather not at all, the accusation.
She had a mournful warning before her eyes in the case of poor Hinks and his wife, who were now kept from the workhouse only by charity. But at this juncture the rescuer appeared. Mr Quarmby and certain of his friends were already making a subscription for the Yules' benefit, when one of their number Mr Jedwood, the publisher came forward with a proposal which relieved the minds of all concerned.

I found myself continually coveting the lonely dwellings that were perched on the rocky heights, or nestled, like a fairy pavilion, in the lap of a grove. These forests formerly furnished the wood for the celebrated Jedwood axe, used in the Border forays.
The Scotchman, keeping his left hand still upon the lady's mantle, uplifted with his right his battle-axe, or Jedwood staff, for the purpose of parrying and returning the blow of his antagonist, but the lady spoke.
Do you see to the execution of these felons, while I hold a court in the great hall, and we'll try whether the jury or the provost marshal do their work first; we will have Jedwood justice hang in haste and try at leisure." "Yet stay, my lord," said Ramorny, "you may rue your haste will you grant me a word out of earshot?"
