Excerpt from Breachley, Black Sheep These bouts of his were the source of infinite pleasure to the younger portion of the community, for at the end of a week Mr. Blackwood would be so ill, and see so many strange animals pursuing him, that the sergeant of police, one Finnegan, would ride off to the nearest town for a doctor. When the doctor arrived, he and the sergeant remained with the patient, and finished the rum with him. Then the two troopers, who, with the sergeant, patrolled the district, would have to lock all three of them up until they got better.
