PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
THE SEA-SIDE HAT.
WHAT IS ENOUGH FOR ONE IS ENOUGH FOR TWO
THE MANSION HOUSE IN BAD
ODOUR.
A few days ago, the Lord Mayor created
a fearful sensation by walking on to the Bench
in the Mansion House, and declaring that, such
a horrible smell proceeded from the justice-
room as to render it impossible for the Lady
Mayoress to enjoy a dance in the ball-room
above, without the fear of suffering from the
vapours. In consequence of the excessively
disagreeable smell proceeding from the adminis-
tration of justice down stairs, nobody can tolerate
the atmosphere of the room above; and the
Lord Mayor, has therefore decided on turning
his tribunal into a closed court, trapping it, as
Mr. Nichols recommends we should trap our
drains.
We can only regret that this measure should
be necessary, for we think justice should not be
administered with closed skylights any more than
with closed doors. If there is no other object in
view than to enable the Lady Mayoress to
dance in comfort hi the ball-room above, wc
would suggest that her ladyship's dancing days
must be pretty well over—at least for the present
season—as we hear of no balls at the Mansion
House ; and we cannot suppose that the Queen
of the City is so infatuated with the amusement,
that she remains in London, executing an oc-
casional pas seul, while all the rest of the world
is out of town.
The much-injured 46th are about to start for
the Eastto seek " the bubble reputation in the can-
non's mouth," and we only hope they will find it.
