£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
that oughr ought to be disclosed , steps in & covers
them : so that on this occasion , as on all others ,
they may do exactly as they please . On these obscure
and delicate points , circumstantial evidence then
is the sole resort : & before the bar of the public at least
