And everything went against them after their antagonists had begun to employ Solicitor Nap.
Who does not know the name of Solicitor Nap?
At what alehouse is not his behaviour discussed?
In what print-shop is not his picture seen?
Yet how little truth has been said about him! Some people hold that he used to give laudanum by pints to his six clerks for his amusement.

Others, whose number has very much increased since he was killed by the gaol distemper, conceive that he was the very model of honour and good-nature.

I shall try to tell the truth about him.
He was assuredly an excellent solicitor.

In his way he never was surpassed.

As soon as the parish began to employ him, their cause took a turn.
