London, Sep 23. On Tuesday a merry scene happened at a
puppet-show in Southwark Fair, as follows; a punch stalking
before the spectators in a Spanish habit, gave such disgust
to an English dog, unmuzzl'd, belonging to one of the
company, that he leap'd upon the stage, seised poor
Punchenello, and tore him in a terrible manner, in defiance
of the devil, at that time in conference with him, and his
conservators also, who were sadly put to their trumps to
save him, and bring matters to an accommodation.
