Billhad kept his promise with vengeance
Joe King said. he thought every smashar
present must feel his heart beat at the pros
pect Of having Goblet among them. Hls
recent proposition for forging Bank notes
by thousands and lens Thousands and DIS
persing them in every lane and alley OF TINS

Sam Browning said, he bad entertained
regard for Goblet even since ne had la

wards the boy Jesse Burgess. Bills con-
duct on that occasion had proved him to be
superior to vulgar prejudices OF humanity
and such like stuff.
Tim Smith said, he was in habits OF cor
respondence with Bill. and was happy to
inform the company, that Bill was at pres
ent engaged in reducing the profession TO
| rule, and had actually completed a work,
to be entitled "the Pickpocxst's Grammar,
or thiieDing made easy" TWAS much to be
wished that Bill should try bis hand at a
dictionary of The blackguard tongue, as no
| man living was so well qualified for the un-

Conkey Bo said, he was no orator. He
wished his character to stand on deeds, not
words. He had last night nabbed hand
some gold sneezer from one OF the rascally
borough mongers, and he would propose
that it should be sent to Bill Goblet, with
the freedom of the society in the said snee-
ger. loud cries Of hear, hear.)
The motion was then put and agreed to.
The thanks of the meeting was givento
Mr.. Frank Fitch, for his unexampled con.
duct in the chair. After which the compa-
ny dispersed.
