"to never, narks, cease"

(367.20-369.15) Upon surveying the scene in the pub, HCE -- like the Norwegian Captain of his tale -- discovers "the residuance of a delugion:  the foggy doze still going strong."  The people of the pub, just like the people of Ireland in the story of the captain, are in a drunken haze that heightens their natural prejudices and biases against the invading HCE/captain.  The four judges, in their "fourdimmansions," are among those drunkenly lost in the fog as they prepare to weigh in on the falsities and perverted truths surrounding HCE, or, in other words, the "[w]ringlings upon wronglings among incomputables about an uncomeoutable."

Guns now appear, threatening to bring the bullets' thunder upon any who do not respect the law.  "Keep backwards, please, because there was no good to gundy running up again," the narrator warns.  "Guns.  And it was written up in big capital.  Guns.  Saying never underrupt greatgrandgosterfosters!"  The judges set forth what amounts to their Ten Commandments (there might not be exactly ten, but close enough here), many of which have already been broken by HCE, as Campbell and Robinson note.  Some of these cover theft ("Not to pad them behaunt in the fear." -- McHugh notes that "pad" is slang for "rob"), murder ("Not to go, tonnerwatter, and bungley well chute the rising gianerant."), and lusty behavior ("Never to weaken up in place of the broths.").  These commandments set forth, the patrons join in song, first proclaiming how "the wisehight ones" have delivered to HCE "the punch of quaram on the mug of truth," and then chanting that if these "justicestjobbers" don't convict HCE, then "they'll find another faller."

The narrator goes on to describe the appearance and place of origin of the four judges (who at the beginning of today's passage were linked with the symbols of the four evangelists):  (1) Matthew, "Squarish large face with the atlas jacket," "Gregorovitch" (Moscow); (2) Mark, "Brights, brownie eyes in bluesackin shoeings," "Leonocopolos" (Athens); (3) Luke, "Peaky booky nose over a lousiany shirt," "Tarpiacci" (Rome); and (4) John, "Ruddy stackle hair besides a strawcamel belt, "Duggelduggel" (Dublin).  Like us, these four judges have been in the pub the entire time, "[a]ndoring the games, induring the studies, undaring the stories, end all" (McHugh notes that this last quote encompasses all of Book II of the Wake:  the children's games of the first chapter, the children's studies of the second chapter, the stories of the current chapter, and the brief concluding summary of the fourth and final chapter).

The reading concludes with a listing of six jurors who are also present:  Mr. G. B. W. Ashburner, Mr. Faixgood, Mr. I. I. Chattaway, Mr. Q. P. Dieudonney, Mr. T. T. Erchdeakin, and Mr. W. K. Ferris-Fender.  These men are joined, of course, by HCE, "the tout that pumped the stout" that set this entire chapter in motion.
