Bascom, Botcher, and Ridout had done enough of blocking and hacking and hewing to satisfy those doughty defenders of the bridge, that a slight, unprepossessing-looking young man with spectacles arose to make a motion. The Honourable Jacob Botcher, with his books and papers under his arm, was already picking his way up the aisle, nodding genially to such of the faithful as he saw; Mr.

"Because I didn't get on to it," answered Mr. Tooting, in response to a reproach for not having registered a warning for he was Mr. Crewe's seismograph. "I knew old Adam was on the Railroads' governor's bench, but I hadn't any notion he'd been moved up to the top of the batting list. I told you right. Ridout was going to be their next governor if you hadn't singed him with the Pingsquit bill.

Here's Adam Hunt with his back up, declaring he's a reformer, and all his section of the State behind him. Now if that could have been handled otherwise " "Who told Hunt to go in?" Hilary inquired. "Things were different then," said Mr. Flint, vigorously. "Hunt had been promised the governorship for a long time, and when Ridout became out of the question "

Ridout, voicing the gesture; "they tell me that Tom Gaylord's done some pretty slick work. Now I leave it to you, Manning, if that isn't a mess!" At this moment the conversation was interrupted by the appearance on the stairway of the impressive form of United States Senator Whitredge, followed by a hall boy carrying the senatorial gripsack.

The fact that he is in town tends to make the circumstance more probable." "He's just been in to see Hilary," said Mr. Ridout. "You don't tell me!" said the senator, pausing as he lighted his cigar; "I was under the impression that they were not on speaking terms." "They've evidently got together now, that " said Mr. Ridout. "I wonder how old Hilary would feel about it.

These instructions he followed without a moment's unnecessary delay. He appeared before the Grand Jury, and charged H. J. Boulton and J. E. Small with being accessary to murder in the killing of young Ridout. He next laid a charge of rioting against S. P. Jarvis and six other persons who had figured as defendants in the action brought by Mackenzie.

"I'm glad to see you're all right, Vane," he added; "I'd heard that you were a little under the weather a bilious attack on account of the heat that's all I meant." He did not wait for an answer, nor would he have got one. And he found Mr. Ridout in the hall. "Well?" said the lawyer, expectantly, and looking with some curiosity at the senator's face. "Well," said Mr.

The other was on the information of the Solicitor-General, Henry John Boulton, for animadversions on his conduct in connection with the duel, in 1817, between Samuel Peters Jarvis and John Ridout. Upon the strength of these indictments Collins was forthwith arrested, and compelled to appear and give the required bail.
