Lettering: Pity the poor garotters! Joe Huggins."O, please, Sirr, don't! Mr. Peter says as I'm delicate, and a coward, and didn't ought to be flogged!!". Mr. Bull. "Ah, indeed! your friend, Mr. Peter Taylor, should have reminded you of that before you throttled the old gentleman, let him have it soundly, warder."
