ABSTRACT

The reader will recollect that I had a claimant upon a share of the reward, in the person of my assistant Thady, whose Irish anticipations, it may be supposed, would not be much cooled by his seeing me so happily settled for life. As the poor fellow had been of such essential service, I deemed it just to give him considerably more than I had at first intended. The reward, indeed, was itself handsome, and there was besides no small addition, arising from my share in the seizure of the run-goods at the cliff and at Norley Wood; so that I could well afford to be liberal to the Irishman, by whose aid the adventure had been achieved.
