APRIL FooL!-M 'ndsy last furnished a
great deal Of fun to certain individuals, upon
whose hands time hung heavily. The coat
tails of sundry persons we're ornamcnted by
appcndagcs ofpaper upon which were writ

lean, to wit, that the party who had impos-
cd upon him was greater fool than he and
in all probability was not only so upon the
first of April but at all other times. This
may or may not have been meant in Pick
wickian sense, but the laugh was certainly
against the old gentleman.
