{468} Mr. Nicholls is the Mr. Macarthey of _Shirley_. Here is the
reference which not unnaturally gratified him:--'Perhaps I ought to
remark that, on the premature and sudden vanishing of Mr. Malone from the
stage of Briarfield parish . . . there came as his successor, another
Irish curate, Mr. Macarthey. I am happy to be able to inform you, _with
truth_, that this gentleman did as much credit to his country as Malone
had done it discredit; he proved himself as decent, decorous, and
conscientious, as Peter was rampant, boisterous, and--(this last epithet
I choose to suppress, because it would let the cat out of the bag). He
laboured faithfully in the parish; the schools, both Sunday and
day-schools, flourished under his sway like green bay-trees. Being
human, of course he had his faults; these, however, were proper,
steady-going, clerical faults: the circumstance of finding himself
invited to tea with a dissenter would unhinge him for a week; the
spectacle of a Quaker wearing his hat in the church, the thought of an
unbaptized fellow-creature being interred with Christian rites--these
things could make strange havoc in Mr. Macarthey's physical and mental
economy; otherwise he was sane and rational, diligent and
charitable.'--_Shirley_, chap. xxxvii.

article to his wife.

honorary canon of Wakefield, is still alive.
