With respect to Counsellor Browbeater, we have only to say, that the government of that period, having got out of him all the dirty work of which he was capable, felt extremely anxious to get rid of him as easily and safely as they could.  Browbeater, however, who was a most insatiable leech, stuck to them, knowing that they could not well discharge him without a character.  He was made a master in chancery, and had the honor of succeeding old Tom Silver, a lawyer, a gentleman, an orator, and a man of honor and integrity!  And only think of Browbeater succeeding such an office, as excellent, respected, and admirable Tom Silver left behind him!
