Among other things, the Bristolian remarked that in the city of Bristol there was a prodigious number of hogs. "I'm sensible of that, " said P^oote, "but the worst of it is, that to kill 'em is death by the law. " Samuel Foote. 83 ■pOOTE wrote a pamphlet history of the murder of one of his uncles by another, and it is said that on the day on which he took the manuscript to the bookseller in the Old Bailey, such was his need that he was obliged to wear his boots without stockings, and, on his re...ceiv- ing his ten pounds, he purchased a pair at a hosier's in Fleet Street. On coming out of the shop he was recognised by two of his Univer- sity associates, who bore him off to dinner at the Bed- ford coffee - house. As the wine passed round the state of Foote' s wardrobe came within view, and he was asked what the deuce had become of his stockings. ''Why, " answered Foote, quite unembar- rassed, " I never wear any at this time of the year, till I dress for the evening ; and, you see, " pulling his purchase out of his pocket, and silencing the laugh of his friends, " I am always provided with a pair for the occasion.
