WOES OF A WOOING.
A DOORSTEP ROMANCE. Complaining that a youngs man, living in the same house conducted his love affairs on the doorstep almost nightly from ten to twelve, and thus kept him awake, a resident asked the Willesden, North-West London, magistrate for a summons against the offender. Applicant added that it had gone on for nine years, and he could lose his sleep no longer. The Magistrate: But how does his love-making keep .you awake?—The man: As he talks to the girl, at the half-opened door, he taps with his heel on the front doorstep, and it is getting on my nerves.—Have you spoken to him about it ?—Yes ; but when I do he only abuses me.” The magistrate granted a summons for abusive language.
