I might also mention the great case of Alice Lispenard, in which he considered the degree of mental capacity requisite to make a will, a case involving a vast amount of property in this city, decided by his opinion.
"Worth noting," says "Fifth Avenue," the publication issued by the Fifth Avenue Bank, "are the names of prominent New Yorkers who, during the fifties, lived on Fifth Avenue between Washington Square and Twenty-first Street. Among them were Lispenard Stewart, Thomas Eggleson, Silas Wood, Henry C. De Rham, Thomas F. Woodruff, Francis Cottinet, David S. Kennedy, James Donaldson, Dr.
"No bachelor yet have I unmade," she replied, somewhat enigmatically. "Indeed?" said Mr. Lispenard. "I may not think very highly of the young men of to-day, but my opinion of them is not so low as that. Come, now I am an old gentleman and the model of reticence I will never tell. I'll wager you a box of roses against anything you like that you had a proposal no later than last week.
Dewitt Clinton, through the whole contest, never appeared at the poll, but observed the most shameful indfference and inactivity." The nomination of a ticket having been made and approved at a public meeting over which Anthony Lispenard presided, its effect upon both parties was tremendous. The character and standing of the candidates seemed a presage of victory.
"So that is your Democratic heeler?" said Lispenard, eyeing Peter's retreating figure through the carriage window. "Don't call him that, Lispenard," said Miss De Voe, wincing. Lispenard laughed, and leaned back into a comfortable attitude. "Then that's your protector of sick kittens?" Miss De Voe made no reply. She was thinking of that dreary wintry stretch of sand and dune.
"You asked me if I wished something, and I merely declined, I think." "Oh, no. You reproved me." "I'm very sorry if I did. I'm always blundering." "Tell us what Lispenard said, Dorothy. I'm curious myself." "May I, Mr. Stirling? "I would rather not," said Peter.
"Indeed!" said Lispenard, with immense wonderment. "I can't believe that. You know you were cutting us." Then he turned to Peter. "You old scamp, you," he whispered, "you are worse than the Standard Oil." "I sent for you some time ago, Leonore," said her mother, disapprovingly. "The guests have been going and you were not here." "I'm sorry, mamma. I was showing Peter the house."
"Parlor tricks are all right in a lap-dog, but they only belittle a mastiff." Lispenard laughed good-naturedly. He was used to his cousin's hits at his do-nothingness, and rather enjoyed them. "He is a big beast, isn't he? But he's a nice fellow. We had such a good time over Le Grand's etchings last night. Didn't get away till after one.
It's not being able to have it that's the bad thing." "So I have found," said Peter gravely. Lispenard laughed heartily, as he sipped his "Court France." "I wish," he said, "that a lot of people, whose lives are given to nothing else, could have heard you say that, in that tone of voice. You don't spell Society with a capital, do you?"
Anthony Lispenard, of New-York. P. Van Courtlandt, of Westchester James Burt, of Orange. Gilbert Livingston, of Dutchess. Thomas Jenkins, of Columbia. Peter Van Ness, of Columbia. Robert Ellis, of Saratoga. John Woodworth, of Rensellaer. J. Van Rensellaer, of Albany. Jacob Eacker, of Montgomery, and William Floyd, of Suffolk. The vote stood: Republican. Federal.
