Hodge and His Masters

CHAPTER XVII
20/24

By the time two witnesses have been examined the hour has arrived when the Judge can sit no longer.

He must leave, because on the morrow he has to hold a Court in another part of the county.

The important 'horse case' and the other causes must wait a month..

He sits to the very last moment, then hastily stuffs deeds, documents, papers of all descriptions into a portmanteau already overflowing, and rushes to his carriage.
He will go through much the same work to-morrow; combating the irritating misrepresentations, exposing suppressors, discovering the truth under a mountain of crass stupidity and wilful deceit.

Next day he will be again at work; and the same process will go on the following week.
