exhibitor began his operation by raising the sheep from the ground
with his teeth. He then threw the animal on its back, and, with his
teeth and hands only, separated the limbs, and stript the flesh from
the bones. After mixing dust with the meat, by rubbing it on the

Now in the same manner the publicans provide a weekly discussion meeting
for that part of the public that loves to hear itself speak. There is
one at the Belvidere, Pentonville; another at the Horns, Kennington.
Fleet-street is much favoured. There are the Temple Forum, the Cogers'
Hall, and another large room in Shoe-lane. These are gratuitous, like
the picture in the above advertisement--that is, you are expected to sit
and drink all night. The most celebrated one is that which meets not far
