THE GENUINE THING OR The Last of the “Cocks,” or “Catchpennies.” When at Brighton in the month of August, 1869, and winding our way through a maze of small streets laying between Richmond and Albion Hills, in the northern part of the town, our ears voluntarily “pricked up” on hearing the old familiar sounds of a “street, or running patterer” with the stereotyped sentences of “Horrible,”--“Dreadful,”--“Remarkable letters found on his person,”--“Cut down by a labouring man,”--“Quite dead,”--“Well-known in the town,”--“Hanging,”--“Coroner’s Inquest,”--“Verdict,”--“Full particulars,”--“Most determined suicide,”--“Brutal conduct,” &c., &c., _only a ha’penny! Only a ha’penny!_ Presently we saw the man turn into a wide court-like place, which was designated by the high-sounding name of “SQUARE,” and dedicated to RICHMOND; hither we followed him, and heard him repeat the same detached sentences, and became a purchaser for _only a ha’penny!_ when to our astonishment we discovered a somewhat new phase in “Cock” selling, inasmuch as our purchase consisted of the current number (253) of the _Brighton Daily News_--a very respectable looking and well printed Halfpenny Local Newspaper, and of that day’s publication, and did in reality contain an account of a most determined suicide.
