AIR—"The Bells of Shandon."

["Mr. Pember, Q.C., before the Committee of the County Council General Powers Bill, put in a claim, on behalf of the New River and other Companies, that the water of the River Lea is the absolute property of the Companies!"

Daily Chronicle.]

Is it, by thunder?

With solemn wonder

I'll often think of

That sounding claim;

And oft remember

How Mister Pember

(He's a "hot member"!)

Put in the same.
