"The Hyp Doctor" observed on this occasion: "It is an honour to the Dissenters, that we do not hear of one of their body who belonged to this ingenious and refined cabal. It must not be overlooked, that if the report be right, the Calves-heads were bought in St. James's-market; the _double entendre_ was intended to have _wit prepense_; but methinks the emblem was wrong-_headed_; for how can a _Calf_, which is a _tame gentle creature_, and _incapable_ of _sin_, represent a _supposed_ Tyrant, or a bad Monarch? Some of the parties concerned were, as the chronicles of Suffolk-street record it, sons of nobles of _England_, _Scotland_, and _Ireland_, besides _Commoners_; but the transaction was _carried on_, like Io in the _farce_, by a _Bull_ rather than a _Calf_ (by which it might appear to be more _Irish_ than _English_), if you examine the criticism of the _Shew_. It was a sequel to Punch at the masquerade, putting his Opera bills into the hands of some too great for a familiar mention; but neither the Haymarket Punch, nor the Suffolk-street Puppet-shew _took_: one was acted but once, the other was not acted thoroughly the first time: the _people_ were the _criticks_, the connoisseurs, and corrected the play. We are now assured it had no _plot_; the _head_ had no _brains_, like Æsop's masks: this may be true, but no credit to a tragi-comedy: it only proved they were no _Poets_, and but _indifferent actors_. Was there none who bore a Calf's-head _couped_, as the Heralds speak, in his coat of Arms? The device of the escutcheon might be more _significant_ than that of the _Club_. Such a proceeding might have been proper in a _slaughter-house_; but, perhaps, they were replenished with the wisdom of the Egyptians, who worshiped Osiris in _the form of a Calf_: was it an _Essex_ or a _Middlesex_ Calf?--_Baa_ be the motto of this speculation. The _Gens Vitellia_, the _Vitellian_ family at Rome, were denominated from the like. This adds light from the Roman history." The next disturbance of the public peace proceeded from the dregs of the people, who were exasperated beyond measure at the laudable attempts of their superiors to suppress the excessive use of _Gin_; and their resentment became so very turbulent in September 1736, that they even presumed to exclaim in the streets, "No _Gin_ no _King_:" in consequence, double guards were posted at Kensington, St. James's, Somerset-house, and the Rolls. Besides these precautions, 500 of the Grenadier-guards, and the Westminster troop of Horse-militia, were distributed as patroles, and in Hyde and St. James's Parks, Covent-garden, &c. Many satirical and pleasant attacks upon that pernicious liquor appeared in the diurnal publications; two of which are worth preserving:
