Constab Ballads e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Let me confess it at once. I had not in me the stuff that goes to the making of a good constable; for I am so con stituted that imagination outruns discretion, and it is my misfortune to have a most improper sympathy with wrong doers. I therefore never made cases, but turning, like Nelson, a blind eye to what it was my manifest duty to see, tried to make peace, which seemed to me better.
