" March 7. — Detained in the Court till three by a hearing. Then to the committee appointed at the meeting on Friday, to look after the small note business. A pack of old faineants, incapable of managing such a business, and who will lose the day from mere coldness of heart. There are about a thousand names at the petition. They have added no designations — a great blunder; for testimonia sunt ponderanda non numeranda should never be lost sight of. They are disconcerted and helpless ; just as i...n the business of the King's visit, when every body threw the weight on me. In another time — so disgusted was I with seeing them sitting in ineffectual help- lessness, spitting on the hot iron that lay before them, and touch- ing it with a timid finger, as if afraid of being scalded, that I might have dashed in and taken up the hammer, summoned the deacons and other heads of public bodies, and by consulting them have carried them with me. But I cannot waste my time, health, and spirits, in fighting thankless battles.
