If a fight had to he conducted, it wjyi left to the men fo\k to thresh the matter out. Short! : before 7 o’clock the other evening, a battle royal was wng-w[ at the foot of Church Steps, which lends from Boulcott Street to the Terrace. Two women, two girls and a man were the principal actors in the drama, and to give the man credit, he did his best to maintain the peace, and contented himself with endeavouring to keen an irate female, whose language war? of the Billingsgate variety, away from his wife. A few yards further down the pathway, the two girls, who could net have been more than 16 years of aee, were fiediting like two drunken sailors. Tt was no parlour game thev were plavinp. Both were fighters, and they hit straight, and judged their distance well. “Please send along the,, first policeman you j meet.” called the man to r-ome pen- 1 pie who were proceeding down the steps. He then went down and separated the two girl combatants, one of whom had got the other by tlio throat this time. “Now, take your hat and go.” he remarked to one of the girls, “or 1 will kick you down into Boulcott Street.”
