This conjuror, whose name was Broadstreet, was a native of the county of Longford, in Ireland: he by this hit pocketed 200l., and proved himself to be more knave than fool. A gripe or fast hold. An oak stick, supposed to be cut from the famous wood of Shilala. This is nearly verbatim from a late Irish complainant.
With that he calls me liar, and what not, and takes a grip of me, and I a grip of my flax, and he had a shilala and I had none; so he gave it me over the head, I crying 'murder! murder! and clinging to the scales to save me, and they set a swinging and I with them, plase your honour, till the bame comes down a'top o' the back o' my head, and kilt me, as your honour sees."
