ten
o'clock
Some -- most , perhaps -- are accepted , some refused . A man of wealth and importance can have little difficulty . Of course this would be denied by the jurists : but , somehow , the great guns contrive not to attend . At ten o'clock this officer proceeds to swear the jury , which is happily accomplished by the time the judge enters . Mr. Pickwick , considering the critical nature of his case , was certainly unfortunate in his solicitor , as well as in the Counsel selected by his solicitors . The other side were particularly favoured in this matter . They had a pushful bustling `` wide-awake '' firm of solicitors , who let not a point escape .
