"All I know is, that I came out as a second, and here have I been made a first a principal, which, by the way, is contrary to all my principle." "Do be serious for once, Middlemore.
"Well, Mister Jeremiah Desborough," said, Middlemore, first breaking the silence, and, in the taunting mode of address he usually adopted towards the settler, "I reckon as how you'll shoot no wild ducks this season, on the Sandusky river not likely to be much troubled with your small bores now."
"I beg a pardon Massa Middlemore," he exclaimed, "I let him fall e gravey in e lap." "Then will you by some means contrive to lap it up," returned the officer quaintly. Sambo applied his napkin, and the dinner proceeded without other occurrence.
Let us secure both, Middlemore, for, thank Heaven we have been enabled to detect the traitor at last, in that which will excuse his final expulsion from the soil, even if no worse befall him. I have only tampered with him thus long to render his conviction more complete."

John Graham and Henry Clive soon attached to themselves a number of influential colleagues, and at the latter end of 1861 the prospectus of the Birmingham Joint Stock Bank was issued. Mr. G.F. Muntz was chairman, Mr. Thomas Short, vice-chairman, and Messrs. John Graham, H. Clive, R. Fletcher, J.S. Keep, W. Middlemore, C.H. Wagner, and W.A. Adams were directors.
