THE CLYDESDALE WEDDING.
Come in man an' tell us your crack, I heard you was o'er at the weddin', Why truly indeed I was that, An' I lent them a hand at the beddin'. It’s gudesake man how cam ye on, For Patie's a comical body, And mony a terrible day, We had wi' him courting the howdy.
Come on, man quoth he. we did weel, Ye ne'er saw the like o't I'm thinkin'; Wi' loupin and dancin' and singin, An' fouth o' gude eatin' and drinkin’. It's no like the weddings that's now, Whar theres nought bu' leaf bread & some butter, Wi' three cups o' ji blach o' ⟨tea⟩ Sweeten'd up with a wee pickle sugar.
But there was plenty to eat, Aye an kale ye might sup while your able, Wi' a gude muckle fat Scottish haggis, To grace the head of the table. Besides there was mountains of beef, An a heal bouk o' gude roasted mutton, An' Patie cried, Sirs, will, ye eat, An' Will worried just like a glutton.
​I declare tae ye, goodwife, I thought shame, For the great greedy hash he sat next me; An' we baith had to eat aff yae plate, An' this was the way that he fix'd me; When the haggis was serv'd us a roun', As muckle as might serv'd a dizen, I scarcely got liftin my spoon, Till he had it a' cram'd down his wizen.
Preserve us, quoth I, is it dune, Says Will, but I'm fond o' a haggis, But look man, see yonder ahoon, There's plenty o' mutton and tatties; Nae fears but we'll a' get our fill, For Patie's a braw hearty fallow, But O man the haggis was gude, For I'm sure that the half o't was tallow.
The bodies a' eat till they left, But Will ay. an' that was the funniest, For when he had thrapled up a He cried out may the deil claw the clungest. For I’m sure I hae gotten my fill; Quoth Tam, here's a glass to digest it, Weel here's tae ye Patie, cried Will. For I'm sure we've a been well feasted.
Then Jock sang us bonny Tweedside, And Tam sang us Hooly and Fairly, And Will sang the banks o' the Clyde. And Jen sang the auld drucken carlie; Till the drink put the bees in their heads, Then the lasses they cried out for dancin', ​And ilka ane jamp to their feet, And began a loupen and prancin'.
Then Tam ran and brought them blind Hughach, And he was to play them the fiddle, But some o' them fill’d him sae drunk, That he scarcely could gar it play diddle. For whiles he play'd screed wi' the hair. But as aft wi' the stick he play'd scratle, Till away went the feet frae the chair, And he fell on his back wi’ a rattle.
Then he swore they had knocked him down, Tho' dell a yae body was near him, And he up wi' his great muckle rung, And began a' cursin' and swearin'. But Tam for to mak up the peace, Ran and fill’d him a glass o’ gude toddie, Crying Hughack drink this and play up, Till I get a reel wi' the howdy.
The fun was a' naething till this, Young and auld they began a springin', Some hochen, some reelin', some wheelin', And some were just loupin' and flingin', Till wi' dancin' they a' got their fill, An' then we repair'd to the beddin', Gat fun wi' them mixin' their legs, And thus put an end to the weddin'.

# The Clydesdale wedding/The banks of the Dee

THE BANKS OF THE DEE.
'Twas summer and sweetly the breeses were blowing, And sweetly the nightingale sung from the tree; At the foot of a rock where the river was flowing, I set myself down on the banks of the Dee Flow on lovely Dee, flow on thou sweet river Thy banks purest stream shall be dear to me ever, For there I first gained the affection and favour Of Jamie the pride and the flower of the Dee.
But now he's gone from me and left me thus mourning To quell the proud rebels for valiant is he, And ah there's no hope of his speedy returning, To wander again on the banks of the Dee. He's gone. hapless youth, o'er the loud roaring billows, The kindest and sweetest of all the gay fellows. And left me to stray 'mong'st these once loved willows, The lonliest maid on the banks of the Dee.
​But time and my prayers may perhaps yet restore him, Blest peace may restore my dear shepherd to me, And when he returns with such care I'll watch o'er him, He never shall leave the sweet banks of the Dee. The Dee then shall flow, all it's beauties displaying, The lambs on its banks shall again be seen playing, While I with my Jamie am carlessly straying, And tasting again all the sweets of the Dee.

United States Supreme Court
15 U.S. 76
The Dos Hermanos
APPEAL from the district court for the Louisiana district.
This was the case of a Spanish schooner captured on the 18th of October, 1814, by Mr. Shields, a purser in the navy, commanding an armed barge, in the service of the United States, ostensibly bound with a cargo of crates and dry-goods, on a voyage from Jamaica to Pensacola, but in fact in pursuance of an asserted change of destination, then in prosecution of a voyage to New-Orleans. The schooner was delivered up, and prize proceedings were instituted against the cargo, in the district court for Louisiana district. Upon the return of the monition various claims were interposed for small adventures or parts of the cargo; but the only questions before the court arose upon the claim of Mr. Basil Green, calling himself a citizen of the Republic of Carthagena, who, by his agents, Mr. John F. Miller and Messrs. Lewis & Lee, asserted an ownership to nearly the whole of the cargo. Mr. Miller, in his affidavit annexed to the claim, states, 'that he purchased the goods so claimed, with moneys in his hands belonging to the claimant; that at the time of the purchase, he expected to have had an interest therein, but that on his arrival at New-Orleans, the attorney in fact of the said claimant (meaning Mr. Lewis) refused to allow any such interest, and the deponent is therefore obliged to give up the same; and this deponent further saith, that the facts contained in the said claim are true to the best of his knowledge, information, and belief.' At the hearing in the district court, the claim was rejected, and the goods were condemned as the property of enemies, or of citizens trading with the enemies of the United States.
Mr. Harper, for the appellant and claimant, argued, upon the facts, that the proprietary interest in the cargo was in the claimant, and that he (though a native citizen) had a right to change his domicil, and did change it bona fide to Carthagena, in South America, where he was a resident merchant, and in his neutral character had a right to trade with the enemy of his native country.a He further suggested that the captor was not duly authorized to capture, there being no evidence that the armed barge, which made the capture, was duly incorporated into the navy.b
Mr. Key, contra, argued that the residence of the claimant at Carthagena was temporary only, and that the whole transaction was infected with fraud and falsehood.
Mr. Justice STORY delivered the opinion of the court.

# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Stevenson, George

​Stevenson, George, was born at Berwick-on-Tweed on April 13th, 1799, and went to sea in an East Indiaman commanded by his uncle. Not liking the life, he returned to Scotland, and obtained a rudimentary knowledge of medicine. He then had a varied experience in Canada, Central America and the West Indies; and ultimately became connected with the literary staff of the London Globe. Returning to England in 1830, he wrote a work entitled "France," in conjunction with the late Sir Henry Bulwer, afterwards Lord Dalling. In 1835 he succeeded Mr. John Gorton as editor of the Globe; but becoming strongly impressed with the virtues of the Wakefield system of colonisation, he decided to emigrate to South Australia, and obtained the position of private secretary to Captain (afterwards Sir) John Hindmarsh, the first Governor. Prior to his departure from England, in June 1836, he married Miss Margaret Gorton, and also entered into a partnership with Mr. Robert Thomas for the production of a newspaper in the new colony, of which he was to be editor and Mr. Thomas manager and printer. In pursuance of this arrangement the first number of the South Australian Gazette and Colonial Register was issued in London on June 18th, 1836. It contained all the official notices of the new colony, with an addendum of general news. The second number was published in Adelaide on June 3rd, 1837; and in it was notified Mr. Stevenson's appointment as clerk of the Council and a justice of the peace. Soon after Governor Gawler's appointment, in 1838, Mr. Stevenson resigned his various official posts; and the Gazette was separated from what now became the South Australian Register, of which Mr. Stevenson continued editor till 1842, when the disastrous financial crisis compelled him to sever his connection with the paper. He subsequently established the South Australian Gazette and Mining Journal, which he conducted with much ability till the crisis occasioned by the discovery of gold in Victoria, when it was dropped. Mr. Stevenson, who was subsequently coroner of Adelaide and its suburbs, was the defendant in a libel action brought ​against him by Mr. George Milner Stephen, acting Governor of the colony, on the strength of some comments which, as editor of the Register, he had made on that gentleman's land transactions at Gawler. However, Mr. Stephen was nonsuited. Mr. Stevenson died at North Adelaide on Oct. 18th, 1856.

​Stephens, Thomas, M.A., F.G.S., second son of the Rev. William Stephens, B.A., vicar of Levens, Westmoreland, England. The family came originally from the South of England, but a branch of it was settled for many years in County Cavan, Ireland, where they held considerable landed property. Mr. Stephens' grandfather was vicar of Castletown, Delvin, co. Westmeath. His father migrated to England, after being ordained, and remained, until his death in 1864, in charge of the Westmoreland parish. Mr. Thomas Stephens was born at Levens in 1830, received his education at Marlborough College, proceeding thence to Oxford in 1850. Here he entered first at Queen's College, where his elder brother, the late Professor Stephens, of Sydney University, was afterwards Fellow and Tutor; but subsequently obtained a scholarship at Magdalen Hall, now Hertford College. In 1854, he took his B.A. degree, and ten years later received that of M.A. In 1855 Mr. Stephens emigrated to Victoria, intending to follow pastoral pursuits, but was attracted to Tasmania in the following year, and in 1857 accepted the appointment of Inspector of Schools under the Northern Board of Education. On the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Boards in 1863 he was appointed Inspector of Schools for the Colony, a title subsequently altered to Chief Inspector of Schools. While occupying this position, Mr. Stephens had a large and important share in the organisation of the system of primary education, and was the first to introduce a standard of instruction for the schools, and a scheme of classification for teachers. On the passing of the Education Act in 1885, which placed the Department under the direct control of a Minister of the Crown, the offices of Chief Inspector and Secretary were amalgamated, and he was appointed permanent head, with the title of Director of Education. In the years 1861-2, he was an active member of the Northern Board of Works, under whose direction the principal lines of road through the then little known North-Eastern and North-Western districts were planned and commenced. Mr. Stephens is the author of a number of papers, chiefly on geological subjects, contributed to the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, of which Society he is one of the Vice-Presidents. He is a Fellow of the Geological Society of London, and a member of the Council of the University of Tasmania.

​Stirling, Admiral Sir James, first Governor of Western Australia, fifth son of Andrew Stirling, of Drumpellier, oo. Lanark, by Anne, only daughter of Sir Walter Stirling, Bart., of Faskine, co. Lanark, was born at Drumpellier in 1791. Having entered the navy, and served with distinction during the French and American wars, he was employed in the survey of the Australian coast, and was the first to cross the Monaro plains in New South Wales. In 1827 he was sent by Governor Darling to what is now Western Australia, with the dual view of selecting a suitable site for a penal settlement on the Swan River, and of anticipating the French in their reported intention to annex that portion of the mainland of Australia. H.M.S. Success, of which he was in command, dropped anchor on March 6th; and so favourable was his report of the capabilities of the country that on his return to Sydney he was sent back to England with a despatch from Sir Ralph Darling recommending the formation of a settlement on the Swan River. In the result the Imperial Government adopted the suggestion, and appointed Captain Stirling Governor of the inchoate settlement, with a grant of 100,000 acres of land for his services in exploring it. When, after narrowly escaping shipwreck, Captain Stirling landed on June 1st, 1829 (from which time his administration as Governor dated), with the first band of British colonists, the hopes formed from a previous hasty inspection of the land near the coast were far from being realised. Imperfectly sheltered in tents and huts, the colonists remained for months at Garden Island, ultimately selecting Perth as the site of the capital and Fremantle as the port of the settlement. In 1830 a thousand additional settlers arrived, and towards the end of the year the capital was rendered suitable for habitation. Captain Stirling did much valuable exploring work; but all his efforts were unavailing to prevent the disastrous failure of the settlement. His first term of office as Governor expired in Sept. ​1832, when he left the colony to render an account of his stewardship to the Home Government. This he most have done satisfactorily, as he was knighted, and two years later was again appointee! Governor of the settlement, which had been administered during his absence by Captains Irwin and Daniel. On his return, in August 1834, experience enabled him to repair past errors; and so energetic was his administration that he not only prevented the projected abandonment of the colony, but put it in a fair way of future success. Sir James finally resigned the Governorship in Dec. 1838, and, resuming the naval profession, was a Junior Lord of the Admiralty for a short time in 1852, and Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese squadron during the Russian war. He died on April 22nd, 1865.
