A short, time since, a person, who resides not a
hundred miles from 'Brighton, and who frequently officiates in
keeping bowie for persons when they can no longer keep it for
themselves, was sent, ,with a'warrant, a short distance hence, to
the house of a widow woman, to distrein for rent. On gaining,
admittance, be made known the purport of his visit. The poor
woman, notwithstanding her feeling a- little'unpleasant at the
tidings, civilly desired him to sit down. .She then placed a large
boiler of water on the fire, observing that she had a particular use
for it 4 The bailiff. (probably atipposing some culioary,operationa
ware going forward, of which he should most likely partake)
Officiously assisted in blowing the' fire. The Inter in a short
time became boiling, when the widow removed it to the farther
part of the rooms and with a small wooden bowl, began to throw
the scalding liquid about the room, crying out "Pray, Sir, take
era or yourself, that 1 not ticahl you," observing at the same
time, it was her way of washing her room, as it rendered it
great deal cleaner. The bailiff retreated from the water as she,
eta' throwing it, advanced, desiring him to take care lest it fell.
upon biM when,. on reaching the door, in order to avoid being
scalded, he unthinkingly steppes
into the street, on which the
widow immediately popped to the door, locked it, and saluting
bun with no very complimentary epitheti; advised him to walk
otr,vowing summary `veottesucelf ever ha 'Made his
apPe once
in ha house again. The bailiff thus foiled, returned to his oir-
ployer, and related the widow's stratagem, swearing he would go
gr
there uo more.
