<P>LEt us no longer Amu&s;e our &s;elves with di&s;cour&s;es of the &s;ucce&s;s of Forreign Battels, wherein both Sides are Victorious; no more let the l ttle Politicians of the Coffee-hou&s;e perplex their Noddles to Reconcile Mon&s;ieurs Gazett, with Myne-H<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">ers Cur|rant: The News we are now to Relate is much more proper for their Debates, and many of them perhaps far more Concern'd in't.</P>

<P>Though the Bawds and VVhores are a &s;ort of Cattle that can agree well enough again&s;t the common Enemy, That is, To Rook and Cheat t<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">o&s;e that are &s;uch Rogues

<P>'Tis an old Quarrel was the occa&s;ion of the pre&s;ent Uproar, which began thus.</P>
<P><HI>Doll Tireman</HI> one of the Does in the Park, having met with three or four ea&s;y Cullies with Pockets well Lined, had made them Bleed freely, and Bubbled them of about half a &s;core Guinny-&s;pankers, which Mrs. <HI>Jilt</HI> the Reverend Matron, in who&s;e hou&s;e &s;he Plyed, would needs have Seque&s;tred to her own u&s;e, pretending a Debt for Cloaths, be&s;ides mony that &s;he &s;tood engaged for to the Doctor and Apothecary for the la&s;t new Rig|ging; But <HI>Doll.</HI> was Re&s;olute not to part with a &s;ouce of her Col<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">, whereupon began a very grave and civil Dialogue between them;</P>

<P>Whil&s;t they were thus &s;eriou&s;ly arguing the Ca&s;e, Severrall other neighbouring Bawds came about them, To whom Mother <HI>Jilt</HI> made her complaint, how this bold Buttocke had abu&s;ed her, and would not depo&s;ite Snacks of the
<PB N="4" REF="4"> Quiffing Cole; Whereupon they advi&s;ed to Unca&s;e her, and &s;o all fell upon her to &s;tripp her of her gawdy Duds, Which made poor <HI>Doll</HI> roar out like an <HI>Iri&s;h woman,</HI> when &s;he &s;ets up the Hubbub, and Immediately all the Does flockt thither as fa&s;t as Cats to a Pu&s;s roa&s;ting, To the&s;e <HI>Doll</HI> Cries out for help, and acquaints them with the unrea&s;onablene&s;&s;e of the old Bawds Demands, and that they &s;hould now or never &s;tand up for their Liberties, or el&s;e expect to find the Bawds ab&s;olute Tirants for over after,</P>
<P>Hereupon after Some &s;harp Expo&s;tulations on either &s;ide, they came to Blows, and never was a more terrible Conflict beheld, The fir&s;t on&s;et was given by Gammar <HI>Jilt,</HI> that flung a Bottle of Steppony, and beat out one of <HI>Doll</HI> Tiremons Eys, who in revenge pluckt off the old wo|mans No&s;e, and flung it ju&s;t in another Bawds Chops, who Spitt it out again in the Face of a young Whore that &s;he was Engaged with, Hoods, Scarfs, Pinners, Laces went mi&s;erably to Racke, Biteing, Kicking, Scratching, and Confu&s;ion fill'd the place, never was there a Sadder Sight, here lay a No&s;e, there an Eye, a little further a Sett of Teeth, here a peice of a Necklace, there a parcel of Black Patches, and by and by the Ruines of a glorious Tower trod under Foot; The Bawds were never &s;o Bang'd, not the Morts &s;o Mortified, but who had the better of it is hard to &s;ay, For Fortune had not yet de|clared in favour of either party, when the Pimpes, Hectors, Bullies, Bully-Rocks, Bully-Ruffians, Bully-Sandies, and the re&s;t of the Black-Guard, taking the Alarm, came in Multitudes to part the Fray, where one of them made this Excellent Oration.</P>
