The Co//d/or? theefore, having it in their power to difpo�e of all the j?hools and days in what manner they pleafe, are very confideruble perforts and great application is made to them for gracious days and gobd ?bools.? but efpecially to avoid being pored or dogged, which commonly happens to be their tot who have no money in their ?ckets. The fiatute indeed forbids the Cdle?ors to receive any prej?nts, or togire any treats; but the common pra0:ice is known to be dire&ly againIt thefiatute; every determiner (that can afford it) values himfell upoti prefenting one of the Cdle8ors with a broml ,t?iece or half a broad? and Mr, Colldtor, in return entert;uns his benefattors wah a good fupper, and as much wine as they can drink, betides gracious d,?ys, and ?ommodiou? fihoo!s.
