THE WAIL OF MESSRS. BURT AND FENWICK.
THE Northumberland Miners' U-ni-on Have bidden their BURT bego-o-one. It seems, by the ballot, we soon shall be all out, And there'll be an end to our fun.
Of course if you give us the sa-a-ack, Our Gladstone bags we must pa-a-ack, But perhaps for this hurry some day you'll be sorry, And wish BURT and FENWICK both back.
THE 'EAT OF DISCUSSION.
HE left the court with his colleagues at twenty minutes to one o'clock. He said nothing, but listened intently while the question of the Inquest was canvassed. Was it to be a verdict of Manslaughter or Murder, or only Accidental Death? He listened so intently that he was quite surprised when the clock struck two.
Yes two o'clock--time for his lunch!
He rose from his seat, and went to the door. He spoke to one on the other side, he talked of cuts from the joints, and chops and steaks.
He was answered with laughter!
Then he returned to his chair, rather put out at this ill-timed pleasantry, and listened once more to the arguments of his colleagues. They had got beyond the verdict now, and were discussing the "riders." The first, elaborately blaming the Magistrates, had been framed and passed, and the second dealing with the bye-laws of the Town Council was under consideration. Before it was finally settled the clock struck three!
Yes, three! and since twenty-minutes to one he had been locked in lunchless! He went to the door and beat it with his fists!
"Might he have a cut off the joint?"
