I don’t know if you have heard of
a Squabble, that happened here.
Last Week a Man put out an Ad-
vertisement, that he was to go
into a ✝ Quart Bottle, &and to do se-
veral odd Things else. The People
were all very fond to go. The Day
came, &and there was a crowded
House. He had 7 shill:shillings a Head,
&and from some a Crown. When
all the Folks were gathered
together, XCumberland among the
rest, the Man disappeared, af-
ter he had got about 200 Pounds.
Cumberland was the first, that
flew in a Rage, &and called to
pull down the House, which in
ten Minutes was done. He drew
his Sword, &and was in such a Passi-
on, that Some BodySomebody or other got
sliptslipped in behind him, &and pulled the 1165 (1165)
the Sword out of his Hand, which
was as much as to say, “Fools should
“not have Chapping-Sticks.”1 This
Sword of his has never been
heard tell of, nor the Person
who took it. Thirty Guineas of
Reward are offered for it. I
am sure, I wish he may never
get it. They say, it is a valua-
ble One. — Monster of Na-
ture! he was well roasted at
the Masquerade last Week, &and
a good Squeeze he got from
me. I could not get the fat
Sides of him to go out of the
Way. He stared at me, &and
spoke. I bid him go out of
the Way, &and let People pass.
