A pretty prime superfine scoundrel, that Pettifog, said the Clockmaker; he and his constable are well mated, and they've travelled in the same gear so long together, that they make about as nice a yoke of rascals, as you'll meet in a day's ride. They pull together like one rope reeved through two blocks.
Dennis retired to the next room to indemnify himself by another glass of grog, and venting his abuse against Hare and the Magistrate. Disgusted at the gross partiality of the Justice, I also quitted the court, fully concurring in the opinion, though not in the language, that Dennis was giving utterance to in the bar room. Pettifog owed his elevation to his interest at an election.
An idle fellow, like Pugnose, who runs away to us, is clapped into harness afore he knows where he is, and is made to work; like a horse that refuses to draw, he is put into the teamboat; he finds some before him and others behind him, he must either draw, or be dragged to death." No. Justice Pettifog.
After I'd smoked a good many pipes, I cussed myself for an old fool. 'There, you've brought your case into court, I says, 'and you're goin' to give it up afore it's argued. Then I argued it. I was honest, you may be sure. It wouldn't do me any good to pettifog in this matter.
Pettifog commenced reading the names: "James Sharp versus John Slug call John Slug." John Slug being duly called and not answering, was defaulted. In this manner he proceeded to default some twenty or thirty persons. At last he came to a cause, "William Hare versus Dennis O'Brien call Dennis O'Brien."
