Synopsis:

Excerpt from Old Booty!: A Serio-Comic Sailor's Tale

Court of King's Bench, where Mr. Booty's clothes were brought into court. The sexton of the parish, and the people that were with him during his illness, swore to the time when he died, and we swore to our journals, and they came within two minutes. Twelve of our men swore that the buttons of his coat were covered with the same grey cloth, and it appeared to be so. The jury asked Mr. Spinks if he knew Mr. Booty in his life time? He said he never saw him till he saw him go by him into the burning mountain. The Judge then said, Lord grant I may never see the sight that you have seen; one, two, or three, may be mistaken, but twenty or thirty cannot.' So the widow lost her cause.
