To this kourt
a' com-peled all me taunts to atend. They were obliged to summon one
another as often as they kould, and much oftener than they wished, and
for the slightest kauses. A' presided in it purseondlly; and a'll tell
you why. My system was a fine system, indeed. That is to say, a' fined
them ether on the one side or the tother, but most generally on both,
and then a' put the fines into my own pocet. My tenints a' know didn't
like this kind of law very much--but if they didn't a' did; and a' made
them feel that a' was their landlord. No man was a faverite with me that
didn't frequent my kourt, and for this resin, in order to stand well
with me, they fought like kat and dog. Now, you know, it was my bisness
to enkorage this, for the more they fought and disputed, the more a'
fined them.
"In fact, a' done everything in my power, to enlitin my tenints. For
instance, a' taught them the doktrine of trespiss. If a' found that a
stranger tuck the sheltry side of my hedge, to blow his nose, I fined
him half-a-crown, as can be proved by proper and undeniable testomony.
