Raucous street scene ends with crowd rounding up Bucks
An account of a quarrel over payment ends in a mob scene as two Bucks refuse six shillings, threaten a magistrate, and are dragged to a pump amid shouts of pump ’em by a crowd of two to three hundred. The scene shifts to letters to the London Evening Post and assorted notices, including theatre listings and public events.
