Lettering

Mr. Lambkin and his friends cut a pretty figure in the morning before the magistrate - their conduct is described as violent and outrageous, and their respectibility is questioned - Mr. Lambkin and his friends insist upon being gentlemen, and are of course discharged upon payment of 5s. each for being drunk - and making good the damage at the prices usually charged to gentlemen.
