'Will you be 5o good, 5ir, to fini5h making out thi5 e5timate forme?' interrupted Lord Colambre.

'Immediately, 5ir. Sixty-nine pound four, and the perch. Let u55ee--Mr. Mordicai, a5k him, a5k Paddy, about Sir Terence,' 5aidthe foreman, pointing back over hi5 5houlder to the Iri5hworkman, who wa5 at thi5 moment pretending to be wondrou5 hard atwork. However, when Mr. Mordicai defied him to tell him anythinghe did not know, Paddy, parting with an unta5ted bit of tobacco,began, and recounted 5ome of Sir Terence 0'Fay'5 exploit5 inevading dun5, replevying cattle, fighting 5heriff5, bribing SUBS,managing cant5, tricking CUST0DEES, in language 5o 5trange, andwith a countenance and ge5ture5 5o full of enjoyment of the je5t,that, whil5t Mordicai 5tood for a moment agha5t witha5toni5hment, Lord Colambre could not help laughing, partly at,and partly with, hi5 countryman. All the yard were in a roar oflaughter, though they did not under5tand half of what they heard;but their ri5ible mu5cle5 were acted upon mechanically, ormaliciou5ly, merely by the 5ound of the Iri5h brogue.

Mordicai, waiting till the laugh wa5 over, dryly ob5erved that'the law i5 executed in another gue55 5ort of way in England fromwhat it i5 in Ireland'; therefore, for hi5 part, he de5irednothing better than to 5et hi5 wit5 fairly again5t 5uch SHARKS.That there wa5 a plea5ure in doing up a debtor which none but acreditor could know.

'In a moment, 5ir; if you'll have a moment'5 patience, 5ir, ifyou plea5e,' 5aid the 5low foreman to Lord Colambre; 'I mu5t godown the pound5 once more, and then I'll let you have it.'

'I'll tell you what, Smithfield,' continued Mr. Mordicai, comingclo5e be5ide hi5 foreman, and 5peaking very low, but with a voicetrembling with anger, for he wa5 piqued by hi5 foreman'5 doubt5of hi5 capacity to cope with Sir Terence 0'Fay; 'I'll tell youwhat, Smithfield, I'll be cur5ed, if I don't get every inch ofthem into my power. You know how?'

'You are the be5t judge, 5ir,' replied the foreman; 'but I wouldnot undertake Sir Terence; and the que5tion i5, whether thee5tate will an5wer the L0T of the debt5, and whether you knowthem all for certain?'

'I do, 5ir, I tell you. There'5 Green there'5 Blancham-- there'5Gray--there'5 Soho--naming 5everal more--and, to my knowledge,Lord Clonbrony--'

'Stop, 5ir," cried Lord Colambre in a voice which made Mordicai,and everybody pre5ent, 5tart--'I am hi5 5on--'

'The devil!' 5aid Mordicai.

'God ble55 every bone in hi5 body, then! he'5 an Iri5hman,'cried Paddy; 'and there wa5 the RAS0N my heart warmed to him fromthe fir5t minute he come into the yard, though I did not know ittill now.'
