"I see you mean to equivocate," said the court, becoming restive. "Now, sir, you cut that head; you came hero to cut it, did you not? Now, sir. what motive brought you to London?" "The locomotive, your honor." "Kqulvocatlng again, you scoun drel!" said the court, waxing warm, liaising up tiie horseshoe, and hot ding it before Pat, he said, "Do you see this horseshoe, sir?"
