Constable Jeremiah 'Jerry' Harbottle : [as Harbottle senior] When the tide runs low in the smugglers' cove, / And the 'eadless 'orseman rides above, / He drives along with his wild hallo, / And that's the time when the smugglers go in their little boats to the schooner and bring back the kegs of brandy and rum and put them all in the Devil's Cove below.

Constable Jeremiah 'Jerry' Harbottle : [Dudfoot has been embezzling the salary of a non-existent constable] If I hadn't come in you wouldn't have had any Harbottle to show.
Constable Albert Brown : That's right, and you wouldn't be able to stick for half his wages.
Sergeant Samuel Dudfoot : That's commission!
