Many years ago the only inn at the Irish town Of
Keswick was called the "Cock," and was much
trequented by visitors to the lake districts But the
late excellent Bishop of Landau, Dr. Richard Watson,
happening to reside in the neigborhood, and being
universally esteemed and loved, the landlord, out of
compliment to his lordship, changed his sign to the
i" Bishops Head" Another inn was shortly after
"Cock' as his sign. The landlord of the old inn
finding that the rival establishment, owing to its
name, threatened to deprive him Of many of his
customers, in consequence of the guide books recon-
mepdjpg the Cock" as the best inn, wrote undeI
the Bishops head at his door 1hs is the orgina
old Cock'' TO the great amusement of the Bishop
who used to relate the story with much glee.
