first comer

The first-comer could procure all things necessary for the deceased by their enumeration in the proper form.

He leaped back, abandoning his horse, and striking the first-comer full in the chest with his fist.

As often as not a summons would be answered and the door opened by an obsequious porter, who handed the keys to the first-comer.

The first-comer drank its blood with relish and the others had to rest content with the great drops which reached the ground.

But even in the case of some more amenable dish, the first-comer is in a position of great responsibility.
