 and in front of, and on the stage, they are piled five and six high in tiers. Five l tables run across the hall, from north to south, and on these tables are a double row of coops and piled two and three high. In fact every inch of floor space is taken up, leaving only the narowest of aisles for the people to pass through. 1 The growing of the roosters lets you know, long before you reach Town hall
