Pleydell(Mr. Paulus). An advocate in Edinburgh, formerly sheriff of Ellangowan. “Mr. Counsellor Pleydell was a lively, sharp-looking gentleman, with

Saturday evening when ... he joined in the ancient pastime of High
Jinks.” — Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894 More on Pleydell from Infoplease:
