Excerpt from Reminiscences of Henry Angelo, Vol. 2: With Memoirs of His Late Father and Friends, Including Numerous Original Anecdotes and Curious Traits of the Most Celebrated Characters That Have Flourished During the Last Eighty Years One curious scene he sketched on the spot purposely for me. It was this.

The old man swearing, the wife fainting, and the children screaming, afforded full scope for his humorous pencil. Such night scenes as were then tolerated are now become obsolete. Rings were made in every part of the gardens to decide quarrels; it now no sooner took place in one quarter, than, by a contrivance of the light-fingered gentry, another row was created in another quarter to attract the crowd away. Mrs. Weichsell (Mrs. Billington´s smother) was the principal female singer. The men were Joe Vernon, of Drury Lane Theatre, c.;Barthelemon, leader of the band; Fisher, hautboy; and Mr. Hook, conductor and composer. The dashers of that day, instead of returning home in the morning from Vauxhall, used to go to the Star and Garter, at Richmond. One morning I was with a party going over Westminster Bridge, when, seeing a boat, one of them proposed taking it to go to the Tower, and to go by the Margate hoy.
