.slihi ouiderr cogitante, as LORD BRouGHAM says
Tss cnly moral that Baron Anderson elicits out
Of the Running Rein case is one worthy of the
plush rather than the orninc, and which would
come well from the lips of Baron Jenkins.
"The trial has produced great regret and dis
gust in nv mind. 1t has disclosed wretched
fraud, and has shown noblemen and gentlemen of
rank associating and betting with men of low
rank, and infinitely below them in society; In go
doing, they have been cheated and made the dupes
of the greatest frauds. They may depend on it,
it will always be so, when gentlemen associate
and bet with blackguards."
This, as the poet affectingly remarks, is coming
it little too strong. Does the baron mean that
gentlemen never cheat Is ali that work done
by us vulgar7 Did he ever hear of a lord cheat
ing of gentlemen backing the lord because he
was cheating2 Did he ever hear of young men
being rocked at play, and in good society, too
or are b!acklegs only to be found among the low
or classes
It's too bad that all the regret is to bs for the
gentlefolks, and all the abuse for the vulgar
Why not lament that the commoners fall into bad
company with lords, and are ruined by their
wicked associates?
Besides what is gentleman Does gen.
tleman who associates with blackguards continue
to be gentleman, or degrade himself TO be
blackpuard or does d blackguard become gen.
ueman by conserving with such, or how and
what may a man do and still be agetleman let
MIR. Justice Jenkins decide.
II gentlemen consort with rogues and swind.
lers knowing them perfectly to be such, have
money transactions with them, win or lose by
their successful unsuccessful roguery, 1t is too
bad Of Judge TO assume that the gentlemen are
the spotsss IN honor, and the clodpoles the only
rascaIs. tits paying the gentlefolks bad CON-
pliment too. What fools they must be to SO into
such society where, according to Judge Alder
con- the poor artless creatures are sure OF beng
plundered!
No. A gentleman who has an affection for
the society of thieves depend upon 1t, frequents
them for some other motive than that of having
his pockets picked. There IS no pleasure IN that.
Our respected superiors are not so 'joly green
as the Judge describes them. Does not Lord
George show in tie transaction that he can pref
~ well take care of himself.
They go among those knaves and swlndiers,
those low-bled ruffians reeking OF gin and the
stable to make money Of them. They associate
with boors and grooms, Jew gambling house
KEEPERS, boxers and DULLES, for moneys sake to
DO sure What other could bring such dandles
into communication with such brutes7 You
can't suppose that gentleman would associate
with such scoundrels, any more than he would
willingly incur an infection, unless he had some
end in view.
And the noble patrons of the turf hare great
end in view-,hat of money. So the turf be-
comes our pride, and we respectit as great Eng;
Esh Institution, of which we have just as good
rtason to be proud as have of the hump on my
back
But let young men coming out in life follow
Panch's counsel as well as Baron Alderson's.-
Avoid the turf blackguards," says the baron
My s,n," say to you, /" avoid the turf gentle
men TO-" Punch.
