In a word,
the whale was seized and sold, and his Grace the Duke of
Wellington received the money. Thinking that viewed in some particular lights,
the case might by a bare possibility in
some small degree be deemed, under the
circumstances, a rather hard
one, an honest
clergyman
of the town
respectfully addressed a note
to his Grace, begging him to take
the case of those unfortunate mariners into full
consideration. To which my Lord Duke in substance replied (both letters
were published) that he had already done so, and received the money,
and would be obliged to the reverend gentleman if for the future he (the reverend gentleman) would decline meddling with other people’s business. Is this the
still militant old man, standing at the corners of the three kingdoms, on all hands coercing alms of beggars?
