£350 a year, a douceur for a gentleman — for the friend
of the gentleman who does every thing — was not to be
made up so easily: a hecatomb, and more than a
hecatomb, of victims was to be sacrificed, before an
offering could be raind worthy of the chosen priest,
who was to stretch his hands over the altar, and
make as if he were putting a period to the sacrifice.fice.
In this place, truth compells me to acknowlegdge,
proof that would be termed legal fails
me: rumour — notoriety — whatsoever be the word —
is in several points the only ground I can exhibit
even so much as in the way of reference.
I have no eye-witness to depose, that as often as
a Noble Secretary hias appeared to act, a gentleman
on the other side the wainscoat has pulled the wirer.
Friendship between the gentleman who popp'd out
of his the pocket, and the gentlemen out of whose
pocket the other popped, is a point not less difficult
to prove, at least by the evidence of sense.
The Nobel Lord and the gentleman on the other
side of the wainscoat could, either of them, by their
evidence put both points out of doubt. Fortunately
or unfortunately the favourite ma maxim about —
self-crimination and self-depredation, the maxim
made to cow cowe cover this and every thing else

they may do exactly as they please. On these obscure
and delicate points, circumstantial evidence then
