From Lewis,s Comic Sketches.

! As an instance OF provincial dialect,
beg leave to relate what happened few
years ago at Poulton in The Clyde, 10 the
wild parts of Lancashire. The story de.
scended to me in its provincial dialect, by
native who was present.
There were five persons, the wise
heads Of the town. They consisted OF
| the Squire, the excisenlafi, the apeihecarsy
the lawyer, and the curate, who held a
deep consultation whether hedge hog
was an animal, vegetable, an artificial,
or natural curiosity.
First--the lawyer defined it TO be a
thing heaven never made, and as how he
had great mind to serve it with " copy
of stick."
The excise man declared, {" canno'
gage il, nor cauno' gaum il; but for sure
and ssrtin it must be somewhat or some
what else
The apothecary scratching his head
very sagaciousiy and significantly obsets-
ed, 81 count it 10 be a sort Of live this
,le."
The Squire asked Robin, the osiler
il he did not think ii was sort Of a
tound-a-bout curry comb.
Aud the parson after downing bis spec
tacIes, and glsring at it for half an hour
exclaimed odds-boddokins, for sure and
sar,in it must be the devils nutmeg era
ter.n
Such was the profound consultation Of
these five wise men of Gotham, or rather
PouIton such were their enquiries that
they ended just where they began.
