A CORPORATION.

Mr. Howel Walsh, in a corporation case tried at the Tralee assizes,

observed, that “a corporation cannot blush. It was a body it was true;

had certainly a head--a new one every year--an annual acquisition of

intelligence in every new lord mayor. Arms he supposed it had, and long

ones too, for it could reach at any thing. Legs, of course, when it made

such long strides. A throat to swallow the rights of the community, and

a stomach to digest them! But whoever yet discovered, in the anatomy of

any corporation, either bowels, or a heart?”
