Once Mr Ballard, funny man, rammed home the charge. Anything came handy, piece of wood or a pebble not particular. On this occasion the machine did business. Jimmy M’Cardell had a fancy, tobacco, anything shop, at the corner of the Gov. Bridge (it stands still) and a big Snuff taking Highland-man in kilts as a sign board. Havoc was done. The Highlander was shot, and the window peppered. Mr Ballard was simply delighted. He had to pay.
