Dear Mr. Punch,
If the addresses of the Sender and the Sendee are to be
charged in the new Sixpenny Wire, we shall find telegraphic com-
munication dearer than ever. I frequently correspond by electricity,
for a shilling, with Mr. Samuel Sassoferato Smith, of Ho. One
hundred and forty-one, Osker Terrace, Much Wilde Street, Sun-
flower Park, S.W. If you will be good enough to cast your eye
over my address and that of my friend, you will see it would be im-
possible, under the new regulations, for us to send even the briefest
despatch under half-a-crown. Tours despondingly,
Benjamin Blowfligh Blewpostle.
Mr. Wilkie Collins, on dit, is writing a novel to appear in Time.
Better than writing it hastily, to appear in no Time.
IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE-DUMMY BPIEFS !
In re—the Occupation of a Counsel.
Sir,—As a great and valued friend of my father, I appeal to you.
On the 2nd of November, 1883, barristers in wigs and gowns were
refused admittance to the Royal Courts of Justice on the score that
they had no business to transact there ! This outrage speaks for
itself ! For years I have attended the Queen’s Bench Division and
the other Divisions exclusively to exchange bows with the Judges on
their taking their places on the Bench ! And now even this privilege
is denied me ! The profession is indeed going to the dogs !
l^ours indignantly,
To Mr. Punch, 8fc., 8rc. (Signed) Briefless Junior.
Mrs. Ramsbotham thinks that some Theatrical Managers overdo
the advertising in the newspapers. “As to that Mr. Augustus
Harris,” she exclaimed, “ I think he out-heralds Herald.”
