It was so arranged ; and a suitable warrant having been procured to enable them to produce the body of the unfortunate Fenton , the proceedings of that day closed very much to their satisfaction .

Having been desired to take a seat , he sat down , and his lordship , who appeared to be very feeble , looked inquiringly at him , intimating thereby that he waited to know the object of his visit . `` My lord , '' said the attorney , `` in the whole course of my professional life , a duty so painful as this has never devolved upon me . I come supported with proofs sufficient to satisfy you that your title and property can not descend to your son , Lord Dunroe . ''
