uinea, when the box of course became
dormant for want of a single adventurer.

It was his custom to carry a great number of bank notes in his waistcoat
pocket, twisted up together, with the greatest indifference; and on one
occasion, in his attendance at a Hazard table at Windsor, during the
races, being a _STANDING_ better and every chair full, a person's hand
was observed, by those on the opposite side of the table, just in the
act of drawing two notes out of his pocket. The alarm was given, and
the hand, from the person behind, was instantly withdrawn, and the notes
left sticking out. The company became clamorous for taking the offender
before a magistrate, and many attempted to secure him for the purpose;
but Captain Dennis O'Kelly very philosophically seized him by the
collar, kicked him down-stairs, and exultingly exclaimed, ''Twas a
_SUFFICIENT PUNISHMENT_ to be deprived of the pleasure of keeping
company with _JONTLEMEN_.'

A bet for a large sum was once proposed to this 'Admirable Crichton' of
the turf and the gaming table, and accepted. The proposer asked O'Kelly
where lay his _ESTATES_ to answer for the amount if he lost?' 'My
estates!' cried O'Kelly. 'Oh, if that's what you _MANE_, I've a _MAP_ of

contribution to them.

Such was the wonderful son of Erin, 'Captain' or 'Colonel' Dennis
O'Kelly. One would like to know what ultimately became of him.

DICK ENGLAND.

Jack Tether, Bob W--r, Tom H--ll, Captain O'Kelly, and others, spent
with Dick England a great part of the plunder of poor Clutterbuck, a
clerk of the Bank of England, who not only lost his all, but robbed the
Bank of an immense sum to pay his 'debts of honour.'

A Mr B--, a Yorkshire gentleman, proposed to his brother-in-law, who was
with him, to put down ten pounds each and try their luck at the 'Hell'
kept by 'the Clerks of the Minster,' in the Minster Yard, next the
Church. It was the race-week. There were about thirteen Greeks there,
Dick England at their head. Mr B-- put down L10. England then called
'Seven the main--if seven or eleven is thrown next, the Caster wins.'
Of course Dick intended to win; but he blundered in his operation;
he _LANDED_ at six and the other did not answer his hopes. Yet, with
matchless effrontery, he swore he had called _SIX_ and not seven; and as
it was referred to the m
