with the conjurer and forger, who had assumed the character of the
Black Spectre, were all hanged, through the instrumentality of Valentine
Greatrakes, who had acquired so many testimonies of their villainy and
their crimes as enabled him, in conjunction with the other magistrates
of the county, to obtain such a body of evidence against them as no jury
could withstand. It was, probably, well for Woodward that the middogue
of the outlaw prevented him from sharing the same fate, and dying a
death of public disgrace.

Sullivan, who, soon after their marriage, was made housekeeper in
Mr. Lindsay's family; and that Barney himself was appointed to the
comfortable situation of steward over his property?
Lord Cockletown exercised all his influence with the government of the

Miss Riddle was married to a celebrated barrister, who subsequently
became a judge.
