William Filby was for clothes supplied to his nephew.--FORSTER

6. The thing I want to see is not Redbook Lists, and Court

[Sidenote: _Relative omitted when_ subject.]

130. We often hear in spoken English expressions like these:--

There isn't one here ‸ knows how to play ball.

There was such a crowd ‸ went, the house was full.

Here the omitted relative would be in the nominative case. Also in
literary English we find the same omission. It is rare in prose, and
comparatively so in poetry. Examples are,--

The silent truth that it was she was superior.--THACKERAY

I have a mind presages me such thrift.--SHAKESPEARE.

There is a nun in Dryburgh bower,
Ne'er looks upon the sun.
--SCOTT.
