Written Seven Years later.—­I have found this document amongst the late Miss HEAVISIDES’ papers.  It is common knowledge that she took proceedings against Dr. MARCELLUS to produce PITT WELLINGTON.  At the time of her death she had not succeeded.  However, there is a fair sum mentioned in her will to carry her point.  I drew the document myself at her dictation, and made it safe for the profession.  There ought to be some nice pickings before “it is all over but the shouting,” as my ancient client, the late Lord DASHOVER, used to observe. (Signed) RICHARD ROE, Solicitor to the late Miss MARY HEAVISIDES.

Added Four Years after.—­This case of PITT WELLINGTON and Dr. MARCELLUS is a troublesome matter; however, as trustee under the will I suppose I have no option, at least that is the opinion of Mr. RICHARD ROE.  We are seeking to get Dr. MARCELLUS before the Court.  After delays from various reasons the matter is now practically settled.  Is PITT WELLINGTON to be brought up as a Reformed Revivalist of the New Connexion, or is he not?  Well, we shall know soon. (Signed) JAMES BROWN, Trustee and Executor under the Will of Miss MARY HEAVISIDES.

Added Five Years later.—­A great joke.  Just found this paper in poor old Uncle JIM’s strong box.  How that case about PITT WELLINGTON did worry him!  Five years ago, and still at the first stage!  Nothing much could be done as Dr. MARCELLUS had taken PITT WELLINGTON out of the country. (Signed) TOM BOY, Nephew to the late JAMES BROWN.

Added Two Years later.—­This paper commenced seriously and treated with levity by the last writer has fallen into our hands.  As we find the note of one of our partners we add to it.  The case of Brown v. Marcellus is still before the Court.  The second Judge had to have the whole matter explained to him anew.  It is a pity that there is not a law forcing occupants of the Bench to hear their own cases before they are allowed to retire.  But that is beside the question.  As to Brown v. Marcellus, we got the defendant before the Court and Mr. Justice ROBINSON has issued a writ of habeas corpus.  We shall now have PITT WELLINGTON before us to see if he should be made a Reformed Revivalist of the New Connexion or not.  By the way, as these proceedings were commenced some years ago, he must be becoming a fine boy by now! (Signed) JOHN DOE, Junior Partner of the firm of ROE, SONS, DOE, TOMPKINS AND DOE.

Written after Another Year.—­Strange to find this paper full of notes.  Well I may as well continue them, and put them back in the bundle from which I have taken them out.  The bundle will tell its own story.  It is full of summonses, copies of affidavits, draft instructions, and I know not what.  It came out of the box marked Brown v. Marcellus.  That’s been a nice case.  Fifteen years of it, and we are still waiting
