to it. No charge.

MARCH 12.--Attending JIGGER, who came in the evening with
a paper, in which he said he had put his case in the
strongest possible light. Convinced him that he had not,
by burning his paper in my naphtha lamp, and recommending
him to go home and take his wife to the play. No charge.

APRIL 19.--Perusing the first page of a letter from
JIGGER, in which he again stated his wrongs, and entered
at some length into the Hungarian question, and the
suspected levities of MRS. SQUASH, the defendant's wife,
and putting the said letter into the fire. No charge.

MAY 24.--Being at the Derby, and JIGGER coming up very
tipsy, and insisting on entering into his affairs between
the races, attending Policeman A 172, and instructing him
to move JIGGER. No charge.

JUNE 29.--Attending JIGGER, who came in great glee to tell
me that he had served a County Court summons on SQUASH,
when I apprised him of my opinion that he was a great
blockhead, but as he dissented from this view of the case,
taking instructions to conduct the case for him, and
subsequently writing to SQUASH to tell him to give me a
look in. No charge.

JULY 1.--Attending SQUASH, and telling him that I hated to
see a couple of neighbours and fellow parishioners
squabbling and scandalising one another, and that they
must meet and make it up; when SQUASH entered at
considerable length into the Hungarian question, and also
gave me some anecdotes of JIGGER'S rascality, and his
daughter JEMIMA'S vulgarity. He consented to withdraw the
jackass, but adhered to the hignorant hupstart. No charge.

AUGUST 3.--Having previously procured adjournments of the
summons, my clerk's attendance to get JIGGER out of the
way on a fool's errand, so that when the cause was called
on there was no plaintiff, and the matter dropped. No charge.

SEPTEMBER 4.--Attending JIGGER, who had been talking to
some jackanapes of a lawyer's clerk, and had been told
that the County Court summons might be resuscitated by a
Bill of Revivor in Chancery, which he wanted me to file,
and instructing JIGGER, as a preliminary, to go and kick
his new adviser.
