THE PHYSICAL-FORCE DOCTOR.—Dr.Busby
was head master of Westminster School, and had he been
living now in these Chartist days when the schoolmaster
is abroad with a vengeance, this first class physical-force-
man probably would have been found with a leek in his
hat, and a rod under his arm, reading " great moral les-
sons" on the 'Welsh mountains to assembled thousands of
terrific Taffies. The supposition is hazarded. because the
flogging doctor showed through life a leaning to brute
force, and a preference of matter to mind. But setting
aside supposition, and speaking seriously of a fact, this
erudite pedant's penchant for punishment is well known,
and a hundred incidents illustrative of it will suggest them-
selves to every body. Amongst other facts, the following one
may be relied on as authentic. A gentleman, whose son had
born flogged four times in one week, sent by his footman a
rather angry letter to Dr. Busby, complaining of the se-
vere correction to which his heir had been subjected, and
calling upon him in a tone of indignant authority to send
by the bearer a reply, as fully distinct and satisfactory as
the outraged feelings of a father and a gentleman, might
demand. The footman delivered his letter, was desired
by the Doctor to wait for an answer, was in a few minutes
shown into a small back-room, seized by Busby's practised
people, and received as good a birching as ever boy was
blessed with. He was then permitted to go away, the
Doctor saying to him, " make my compliments to your
master;- tell him no other answer to his letter is necessary,
as you yourself have the original, of which he may, if he
choose, have a copy any day he likes—' a full, distinct, and
satisfactory one'—but personal applications only will be
attended to."—Sportsman of January.
