"No, by Jove," said Lord Lufton, "if I could quash the whole thing, I'd do it at once!" "You can't do that, my lord, but you may help us at the board," said Mr.Walker.
Then there was the Hon.

George De Courcy, Lord De Courcy's brother, from Castle Courcy.

Lord De Courcy did not live in the county, but his brother did so, and endeavoured to maintain the glory of the family by the discretion of his conduct.

He was not, perhaps, among the wisest of men, but he did very well as a country magistrate, holding his tongue, keeping his eyes open, and, on such occasions as this, obeying Mr.Walker in all things.

Dr.Tempest was also there, the rector of the parish, he being both magistrate and clergyman.
There were many in Silverbridge who declared that Dr.Tempest would have done far better to stay away when a brother clergyman was thus to be brought before the bench; but it had been long since Dr.
Tempest had cared what was said about him in Silverbridge.
