The Experiences of a Barrister, and Confessions of an Attorney
Excerpt from The Experiences of a Barrister, and Confessions of an Attorney
At the period referred to, Shep-keeping had not attained that degree of organization, with respect to counter-men and cashiers, which now distinguishes the great houses of trade. The primi tive till was not yet superseded. This was the weak point in' Harvey's arrangements and not to make a needless number of words about it, the poor man was regularly robbed by a shep man, whose dexterity in pitching a guinea into the drawer, so as to make it jump, unseen, with a jerk into his hand, was worthy of Herr Dobler, or any other master of the sublime art of jugglery.
