<L>GOod people come hither and li&s;ten a while,</L>
<L>I'le tell you a &s;tory &s;hall make you to &s;mile</L>
<L>For &s;uch a bold project there never was heard,</L>
<L>As now in this Ballad &s;hall &s;oon be declar'd;</L>
<L>The <HI>Brick-makers</HI> they</L>
<L>This project did play,</L>
<L>The Elventh of <HI>Augu&s;t</HI> as people do &s;ay:</L>
<L>Let this be a warning that others take heed,</L>
<L>Their court of in-ju&s;tice will &s;mart for the d&eacute;ed.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>In Rainy wet weather it was I &s;uppo&s;e,</L>
<L>When each bonny <HI>Brick-maker</HI> &s;t&eacute;eled his no&s;e,</L>
<L>They drink their cups round, &amp; do merrily prate</L>
<L>Each <HI>Brick-maker</HI> &s;eemed a Lord in conceit;</L>
<L>Whil&s;t thus they Carrou&s;e,</L>
<L>And call on the Hou&s;e,</L>
<L>One of them his bread and his chee&s;e he did lo&s;e</L>
<L>And one in the company there he did atackt,</L>
<L>As guilty of Fellony for this bold act.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>They call'd him <HI>Dick Lambart</HI> whom he did ac|cu&s;e,</L>
<L>Who, he &s;aid, &s;uch activity often did u&s;e;</L>
<L>And there for his life he would have him be tryd</L>
<L>A Iudge and a Jury this d&eacute;ed &s;hould de&s;ide;</L>
<L>A Court there was call'd,</L>
<L>The Cryer he bawl'd</L>
<L>And there with his flounder mouth loudly he yaul'd;</L>
<L>And then on the bench for a judge there &s;et down</L>
<L>One in a red wa&s;tecoat which &s;erv'd for a gown.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A Iudge and a Iury, and Clarks did appear,</L>
<L>a Sheriff and al&s;o a Hangman was there,</L>
<L>The Iudge being &s;et and pri&s;oner brought forth</L>
<L>The plaintiff he there on a brickbat took oath.</L>
<L>that to his great co&s;t</L>
<L>Too lately he lo&s;t.</L>
<L>Some bread &amp; &s;ome ch&eacute;e&s;e which he &s;av'd for a toa&s;t,</L>
<L>And that <HI>Richard Lambart</HI> had taken his peck.</L>
<L>Who for it de&s;erv'd to be noos'd by the neck.</L>
</LG>

<L>FOr this he had &s;entance by which he was for&s;t</L>
<L>To be burnt in y^e hand with an apple hot roa&s;t</L>
<L>And afterwards he on that apple mu&s;t f&eacute;ed,</L>
<L>This Sentance he had for his Fellonious d&eacute;ed;</L>
<L>But now comes the wor&s;t</L>
<L>More bad then the fir&s;t,</L>
<L>Poor <HI>Richard</HI> his fortune it was &s;o accur&s;t;</L>
<L>A Witne&s;s held forth, and he there did declare,</L>
<L>That <HI>Richard</HI> &s;poke Trea&s;on and he did it hear.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He &s;aid the Kings drums they did make a great &s;ound</L>
<L>But in y^e mid&s;t of them no guts to be found,</L>
<L>And that the Kings hor&s;es with Iron were &s;hod,</L>
<L>And often on dirt and on &s;tones they have trod;</L>
<L>That they &s;o were fed</L>
<L>With butter and bread,</L>
<L>They lo&s;t all the Ra&s;es what ever was laid:</L>
<L>And that y^e Kings Go&s;hauks had got no more foul</L>
<L>Then is in the night-bird that's called an Owl.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This was the Indictment on which he was try'd,</L>
<L>The Iury was &s;worn on a Brickbat be&s;ide,</L>
<L>The Evidence there did make it out plain</L>
<L>And <HI>Lambart</HI> away from the Bar he was tane;</L>
<L>Their Iury went out,</L>
<L>And brought it about,</L>
<L>That <HI>Lambart</HI> was guilty of Trea&s;on no doubt:</L>
<L>And then by the Iudge he was &s;entenc'd, that he,</L>
<L>Should hang by the neck on the <HI>Tiborn</HI> Tr&eacute;e.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A Clay cart they got, and a hor&s;e in't be&s;ide,</L>
<L>And put <HI>Lambart</HI> in it, and him fa&s;t down ty'd,</L>
<L>And then unto'th Gallows they do him convey,</L>
<L>With a Guard of their Off<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">cers all on the way,</L>
<L>A Brickbat to read,</L>
<L>As they did proceed,</L>
<L>And then on the Gallows they hang'd him ind&eacute;ed:</L>
<L>Thus have you heard of the <HI>Brick-makers</HI> Court,</L>
<L>who hang men in earne&s;t, and count it their &s;port.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A Groom of the Kings &s;tables came riding y^e way,</L>
<L>S&eacute;eing this revel rout to them did &s;ay,</L>
<L>I &s;&eacute;e you've condemned this man in the Town,</L>
<L>But here's a reprieve and he mu&s;t be cut down:</L>
<L>This being done,</L>
<L>Away then did run,</L>
<L>This Court of In-ju&s;tice each mothers Son.</L>
<L>The Iudge and the Hangman was tane in the act</L>
<L>And two of the Iury-men &s;ince for that fact.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This court of In-ju&s;tice appeared in time</L>
<L>At Se&s;hions hou&s;e there for to an&s;wer their crime</L>
<L>A hundred pound is laid on each head,</L>
<L>Or el&s;e due impri&s;onment till it be paid:</L>
<L>In <HI>New-gate</HI> they are,</L>
<L>Remaining in care,</L>
<L>Of farther puni&s;hment they are in fear:</L>
<L>And thus you have heard of y^e <HI>Brick-makers</HI> Court</L>
<L>Who hang men in earne&s;t &amp; count it their &s;port.</L>
