Mr. Justice Cocklecarrot

Abbot Prodnose implores Mr. Justice Cocklecarrot to stop and give alms for the poor. Cocklecarrot is in too much of a rush to get to court and anyway, he couldn't give a toss for the starving poor. Mr. Justice Cocklecarrot always carries his own legal papers in a large satchel even though he has more than one assistant. People are beginning to talk about the satchel and wonder at the contents, obviously something very valuable if Cocklecarrot needs to keep it by his side, always.

Cocklecarrot is the Island's Judge and is a great favourite of the Governor's. This is due to the fact that Cocklecarrot is what they call a 'hanging judge'. He loves to don the black cap at the end of a trial, thinking it makes him look rather stern but suave and debonair. The Cocklecarrot family motto is Facta Est Anima Mea Usque, Noli Me Confundere Factis (my mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts).

Here we see Sir Frobisher Fotheringay-Featherstonhaugh, admiring his greatest treasure, the famous Mukkinese Ruby. It is said to be priceless but it carries an ancient curse since it was stolen from the Mukkinese Moghul, Ramitin III in the 11th century. Any pirate worth his salt would give his left leg for a chance of stealing that ruby.
