Punch (35.1858)

PTTNOTT; OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.

Merrily laughed the aide-de-camp,

And off to the Mayor did hie,
And with infinite glee administered he

This regular slap in the eye.

And the guests were met, and the feast was
set,

And there was the Cock of Rome ;
But the Lord Lieutenant and Quality
They took and they stopped at home.

Right flustered then was the red-legged bird,

And a feeble cackle he made,
And never so stupid a speech was heard

From one who's a speaker by trade,

" I didn't believe that the English Lord
Would have had the pluck," he said,

" To give a Prince of our Holy Church,
Such a thundering punch in the head.

" Before my priests and my devotees,
That would licK the dust of my shoe,

I receive the cut direct, as a hint
That my priestly ideas won't do.

" I fancy I've gone a little too far,
These Saxons are obstinate pigs,

1 must give my priests a cue to stop
Their ultramontanish rigs."

A feast, a feast, is spread at Dundalk,

The priests are assembled there,
And the red-legged Prince of the Church has
come,

And Kieran fills the chair.

And there's Dr. Dixon and Lord Bellew,
And the President of Maynooth,

And Dr. M'Nally, and Bowyer, M.P.,
That remarkably sapient youth.

And a couple of hundred Romans more,
With brogue as broad as their shoes,
And some of the priests they carried the
whips,

With which they collect their dues.

" A health, a health," quo' Dean Kieran,
" To the Pope be laus et gloria ;

And now a health,which I'm sure you'll drink
With delight, To our Queen Victoria."

" Alia! aha! " quo' Lord Eglinton,
When he read the story in print;

" It seems to me," says Lord E., says he,
" Old Red-Legs can take a hint."

So here's to the Lord who would not flinch,
But served out the Cardinal well,

We can quite afford to give Rome an inck,
While we keep such a jolly L.L.

ROTHERHAM TRAINING SCHOOL FOR CRIMINALS.

Is this true :—

" Deeadful Case of Ju
venile Delinquency. —

Like a Roming hinquisitioner about the town he goes.
And in every ouse and cottage he pokes in his Romink nose.

Vithout so much as waiting for a usbing's hinvitation,
He onners married woming with his private Wisitations;
George Marshall u,:nry Mar-, which he fiightens them by sayink as the Church won't give

a quickset hedge, the pro-; ~Por instince one fine morning he pops in, this revering gent,

lektoj!r — PodcJ-c.nistabL" I ^° tue ouse °^ &. Pore coming as was near her confinyment,

And in her Usbing's absence, which I wish they'd chanced to meet,
He insults her with such questions as I will not ere repeat.

421 deposed that he found
the three prisoners getting
nuts in the Rev. A. Fdl-
lerton's grounds (nuts, a-
bout a dozen in number,
produced). They had, in
getting into the grounds,
broken a quickset hedge,
doing damage to the amount
of 6d. The father of the
Marshalls, said he hoped
the Bench would deal leni-
ently with the case, as he
earned but very little money
and had a family of seven to
keep. The mother of the
other boy made a similar
appeal, stating that she had
eight children depending on
her for support.—The Bench
therefore, taking into con-
sideration the youth of the
chiliren and the poverty of
their parents, ordered them
to pay 5s. 'id.—6d. damages,
6d. fine, and 4s. Sd. expenses.
—The mother of the least of
the three prisoners said she
had not a farthing to pay for
him.—Mr. Oxley: Then he
will have to go to prison."

Which when that Christian lady, Mrs. Ellen, hears the same,
She confronte's this here Curiate, and on ini she cries shame!
Both at ini and at his rector, Mister Greslet, she lets fly,
And gev em each a set down, wich it sarved M right ses i.

Mrs. Ellen nex she goes and the ole matter lays afore
A anti Pussy clergymin, the Reveking John Shaw ;
Which he gets up a Petition unto Hoxford's lord Bishopp,
A askink ini these pussyitish practices to stop.

But Sammy, which I needn't ask if he's well off for soap,
He acte's as defender of these Minyings of the Pope.
Aiid the charges brought agin em he endeavours to elude
By a sayink as Pall Pry had no intenshink to be rude.

In fack he goes still farther, does this Samivel Oxon,

And he wery much applaude's what his priests ave gone and done

Which he says of their Parishioners they ought to inquizate,

Hif there's anythink upon their minds as they've a mind to state.

Says Sam, as i've a Orror of the Roming church, in course,
I've a Orror of Confession, if so be it's got by force :
But, so long as it is Woluntry, I doesn't see no harm,
In that there's nothink Roming, so there's nothink to alarm.

The above Police case, stated to have occurred at Rotherham, is
extracted from the Sheffield Times. It may be a false and malicious ,
libel on the Rotherham Bench. But if it is true, how regardless of; Mister West he used no thumbscrew nor no corpo real pain ;
public expense the Rotherham Bench must be! How much is the I ?l> ses Sam, he didn extort not no confession, it is plam;

few days. The county may have to spend many pounds upon him
before he comes to be transported or hanged. We trust the Rev.
A. Fullerton, with his accustomed benevolence, has interceded for the
children who wronged him to the value of sixpence, and has prevented
the infant culprits from being sent to prison.

THE BALLAD OF BOYNE HILL.

by the POET OF BELGfiAVIA.

Come, listen, gents and ladies, to a tail I will relate,
Which it appened in this year of Gracious 185S :
Tis all about a Curiate, which West it is his name,
As fur the Scarlet Lady e ave been and showed a flame.

In Boyne 111 parrish, maiden ead, he olds is curiacy,

And a wery nice young party for a curiate is he;

With his flock both male and femayale E makes isselth at ome,

And in Hingland acts exackerly as hif he were in Rome.

E conducte's of isself in a manor wery rude,

lioes this Revering Paul Pryer, with his ' Ope I don't hintrude!:

So instead of is suspendink this here Curiate, in fack
Soapei Sammy he slips out of it, and pats him on the back;
Wich it's that part of his pus'n I'd ave touched him up myselth,
Hif with my wife he come meddlink and enquirink for er ealth !

So jou Curiates who 're anxious for a comfortable life,
Get permission of the Usbing 'fore you wisite's the Wife :
Don't hintrude your Roming Noses ha la Revering Airey Sneak,
Else peraps your Roaming Noses they may chance to get a tweak.

Mr. Gresley he a letter to the Times ave been and sent,
A sayink as Confession leads a sinner to repent;
Which hif Mister G. he come a confessin of my wife,
My blief is he'd repent it—though i aint no wish for strife.

Mr. G says in his Parrish, which its name is Bray, he find
As Usbings the hintrusion of Paul Pryers doesn't mind:
Veil—for taste there's no haccountink. Helse sertingly I'd say
They must B preshus Hasses these parishioners of Bray !

Tliey ses as Pusey hism is a fashanable game,
But for all that hif a Parsins come a tryink on the same,
Aud A sueakink down our Hairey, I ud make him cry Teceavy
Hi would—as sure as my name is John Thomus of Belgravy
