CRICKETANA. YOUNG LADIES V. BOYS.
"NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH."
A Scene very freely adapted from "The Critic."
Enter Mr. PUNCH, First Commissioner of Police, Inspector, and Constables.
Commissioner. Oh! very valiant Constables: one is the Inspector himself, the others are ordinary P.C.'s. And now I hope you shall hear some better language. I was obliged to be plain and intelligible in my manifesto, because there was so much matter-of-fact ground for remonstrance, and even chiding; but still, 'i faith, I am proud of my men, who, in point of fact, are fine fellows.
Mr. P. Unquestionably! But let us listen—unobserved, if so it may be.
