The Phrase "Jack Robinson"

The use Of the phrase "Jack Robin
SON. originated in the British house of
parliament during the debates on what
was known as the Indian bilP' and
when John Robinson was first lord of
the treasury. Sheridan was the man
who first used the phrase. 1t came
about in this manner: Sheridan was
speaking concerning Fox's waning
chances, when he said: "Mr. Speaker,
this state of affairs is not to be won
dered at. When'a member of this au-
gust body is employed to corrupt every
body, what else could be expected?'
Instantly there was a great cry of
"Name him. name him.! "Who is
it?' "Sirs," said Sheridan, II shall not
name the person; it is most unpleas-
ant thing to do. But don't suppose that
l abstain because there is any Difficult
ty in naming him. l could do so, sirs,
as quick as you could say Jack Robin
son."
They naturally inferred from his re-
marks that Jack or John Robinson was
the person whom he alluded to.

blue bloods among them-real tiptop-
perS who were going the pace-and
Lord Dale led this crowd. When sober,
he was a snob and a cad. When in his
cups, he was q thorough vulgarian and
would as soon carouse with cabman
as to drink with a gentleman. He had
been introduced by a good friend Of
my masters, and, being lord, he was
allowed many liberties over common
er, but 1 believe that Captain Chardon
would have preferred his room to his
