      PUNCH,

      OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.

      Vol. 62.

      January 27, 1872.

      THE LIQUOR CONTROVERSY.

      'Spectable Citizen. "Ish my Opi'ion thish P'missive Bill 'sh Vexash'ious Measure. (Hic!) Why should I be D'prived of Nesh-sh-ary R'freshment, 'cause another Party hasn't—can't—doesn't—know when he'sh had enough? Shtan' up, Ol' Man!!!"

      A JINGLE FOR ST. JAMES'S.

      (By a Musical Enthusiast.)

      The Monday Pops! The Monday Pops

      Whoe'er admires what some call Ops;

      Should go, and lick his mental chops

      While feasting at the Monday Pops.

      The Monday Pops! The Monday Pops

      To me their music far o'er-tops

      The jingling polkas and galóps

      On cracked pianos played at hops.

      Nor almond rock, nor lemon-drops

      Nor sugar-plums, nor lollipops

      With which small children cram their crops

      Are sweeter than the Monday Pops.

      The Monday Pops! The Monday Pops

      Delight of fogies and of fops

      The music that all other wops

      Is given at the Monday Pops.

      Their fame all rivals far o'er-tops

      You see their programmes at the shops

      And here the bard exhausted stops

      His rhymings on the Monday Pops.

      TRUE BILL?

      Much ingenuity has been expended in trying to prove that Shakspeare was a lawyer, and, amongst other passages in his writings, the two first lines of the Sonnet which commences—

      "When to the sessions of sweet silent thought

      I summon up remembrance of things past,"

      may be thought to indicate that he possessed legal acquirements. Has it, however, occurred to the editors and commentators, that these lines are capable of another interpretation, and may be considered to add a new item to our scanty knowledge of Shakspeare's personal history, if we take the more probable view, that when he penned them he had in his mind's eye those familiar Tribunals—the Quarter Sessions—to which, it may be whilst residing in the Metropolis, but most undoubtedly after his retirement to Stratford, he would be summoned in the capacity of Grand Juryman?

      SOUP AND SERMON.

      The Morning Post records an interesting case of—

      Supper To Convicted Felons.—On Tuesday evening a supper was given to one hundred and fifty convicted felons by Ned Wright, the well-known converted burglar, at the Mission Hall, Hales Street, High Street, Deptford. The candidates for tickets of admission were compelled to attend the night before the supper and give an account of themselves to prove that they really were convicted felons, and by the sharp and close questioning of Mr. Wright, about fifty were refused tickets as impostors.

      The fifty impostors who were fain to palm themselves off as convicts for the sake
