   prized by drivers as a handle and jarveys when driving through the country always kept a look-out for a good handle. They stopped whenever they saw a holly bush and examined it. Carriers and farmers used a shorter whip about three feet in length. The lash was fastened on to a piece of leather called a "keeper" tied on the whip. The part held in the hand was covered with leather. Lead was sometimes put inside the leather - presumably for the purpose of giving a good balance to the whip, and giving an effect of lightness to the lash. However it was very often used on fair-days and holidays as a weapon in a fight, and in accounts of court proceedings that often followed mention was made of the use of a "loaden" whip, as the whips were locally known.
