Witness, of learning sober,
At Westminster's historic hall,
This first day of October.
But if, ere four brief days have fled,
The debt and costs be paid,
No further you'll by law be bled—
Proceedings will be stay'd.
CONSCIENCE MONEY.
"A FAST man, who acknowledges having read the 'Comic Almanack' of last year through the shop-windows, and is ashamed now of the petty meanness, begs to forward to the Editor, as conscience money, the sum of One Shilling. The halves of six blue postage-stamps are now enclosed, and the remaining halves will be forwarded as soon as the first are acknowledged."
