London, March 6. We hear from Broadway in Gloucestershire,
that last week, a fiddler who had been playing there pretty
late, stept into a barn to take a nap, and was no sooner
laid down, but in came a man and a woman, who presently
struck a bargain, and agreed, the one to pull off her hoop-
petticoat, and the other his breetches. When they had done
their business, the fiddler strikes up the Black Joke, which
they thought was the Devil come to play them a tune, so that
they both run, the woman without her hoop, and the man
without his breetches, in which was 50s. and the silver
watch. The fiddler had both cry'd, but no body owns them.
