And that reminds me of two reports in a recent great daily:
Miss Angelina De Tapps, the youngest daughter of the well-known
great family of brewers, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony
to Mr Reginald Wells--(here follows a long account of the smart
society wedding). The happy pair leave en route for Europe per the
--- next Friday.
Jane Johnson, an old offender, again faced the music before Mr
Isaacs, S.M., at the Central yesterday morning--(here follows a
"humorous" report of the case).
Next time poor Mrs Johnson will leave _en route_ for "Th'
Island" and stay there three months.
The sisters join Mrs Johnson, who has some money and takes them to a
favourite haunt and shouts for them--as she does for the boys
sometimes. Their opinions on civilization are not to be printed.
Ginger and Wingy get off with the option, and, though the fine is
heavy, it is paid. They adjourn with Boko Bill, and their politics
are lurid.
Squinny Peters (plain drunk--five bob or the risin'), who is peculiar
for always paying his fine, elects to take it out this time. It
appears that the last time Squinny got five bob or the risin' he
ante'd up the splosh like a man, and the court rose immediately, to
Squinny's intense disgust. He isn't taking any chances this time.
Wild-Flowers-Charley, who recently did a fortnight, and has been out
on bail, has had a few this morning, and, in spite of warnings from
and promises to friends, insists on making a statement, though by
simply pleading guilty he might get off easily.
