Pickwick's being found in a lady's sleeping-apartment at midnight; which had terminated, he believed, in the breaking off of the projected marriage of the lady in question, and had led, he knew, to the whole party being forcibly carried before George Nupkins, Esq., magistrate and justice of the peace, for the borough of Ipswich! 'You may leave the box, Sir, said Serjeant Snubbin. Mr.
'Certainly, my dear, Said Mr. Nupkins. 'Muzzle! 'Your Worship. 'Open the front door. 'Yes, your Worship. 'Leave the house! said Mr. Nupkins, waving his hand emphatically. Jingle smiled, and moved towards the door. 'Stay! said Mr. Pickwick. Jingle stopped. 'I might, said Mr.
Pickwick proceeded to address the multitude; to dwell upon the unjustifiable manner in which he had been treated; and to call upon them to take notice that his servant had been first assaulted.

The touch of "Boz" kindled the old bones into life, it peopled the narrow, winding streets with the Grummers, Nupkins, Jingles, Pickwick and his followers; with the immortal lady aforesaid in her yellow curl papers, to say nothing of Mr. Peter Magnus.
'Wouldn't do no go caught a captain, eh? ha! ha! very good husband for daughter biter bit make it public not for worlds look stupid very! 'Wretch, said Mr. Nupkins, 'we scorn your base insinuations. 'I always hated him, added Henrietta. 'Oh, of course, said Jingle.

The scene was an impressive one, well calculated to strike terror to the hearts of culprits, and to impress them with an adequate idea of the stern majesty of the law. In front of a big book-case, in a big chair, behind a big table, and before a big volume, sat Mr. Nupkins, looking a full size larger than any one of them, big as they were.
Nupkins was in a state of the utmost excitement and irritation, for there had been a rebellion in the town; all the day-scholars at the largest day-school had conspired to break the windows of an obnoxious apple-seller, and had hooted the beadle and pelted the constabulary an elderly gentleman in top-boots, who had been called out to repress the tumult, and who had been a peace-officer, man and boy, for half a century at least.
