6 swiperus, caulkers, pipe, segar, quid, shag, pig- 

 ' tail, short-cut, varinas, canaster, pickater^ and if 

 ' such culprit shall appeal against the severity of 

 ' the above sentence as a punishment dispropor- 

 ' tioned to the utmost excess of human delinquency, 

 ' he shall be entitled to have rehearing, and Nat 

 ' Ogle assigned to him as counsel. 



4 The Rev. - - is not to chew the tobacco 

 ' called pigtail after sunset, as he will then join the 



* society of the ladies ; nor for the same reason is 

 ' Jos. Richardson, Esq. M. P., and author of the 

 ' ' Fugitives, 1 to flick his snuff about during supper, 

 ' even though he should have been competing 

 with Nat Ogle. 



' If any of the party, deserting the rod shall 



* assume the gun, it is recommended to them as 

 ' white-wales* are not likely to be seen, and black- 

 ' whalers are unworthy their pursuit, to direct all 

 6 their attention to green whalers, alias plovers, 

 ' which will afford not merely good sport to the 

 ' shooter, but considerable aid. to the larder. 



' A copy of these Rules and Regulations fairly and 

 ' legibly transcribed, is to be posted over the chimney 

 ' of the eating-room of the society's house at Leckford, 

 ' provided the pannel or any side of the said room 

 ' is of size to contain such paper. If not, authentic 



* copies thereof shall be delivered to each member." 



* It is not known to what this refers. It is copied exactly 

 from the manuscript.
