The room was about 3oft, long and soft, wide, and was, decorated in dark blus, with wood- work of dark oak. Two windows looked out upon the Neva and the Admirably Bridge, and the apposite wall was lined with bookcases. There was a large consultation table, not un- like the table of a board of bank directors, in the centre of the room, and at one end was an American roll-top desk.

It was after the planta. tion of the forfeited lands by Scottish gentle. men, mostly selected from another part of the country, that the Borderers voyaged over, and, in the couree of time, dominated the north of Ireland. The poncers, or undertakers as they were called, with few exceptions, did not them. selves stop on the properties they had acquired in Ulster.
