The Queen must surely be proud of such heroic men as the Police and Irish soldiers, as It takes eight or eleven of the biggest mud crushers in Melbourne to take one poor little half-starved larrakin to a watch house. I have seen as many as eleven, big & ugly enough to lift Mount Macedon out of a crab hole, more like the species of a baboon or Guerilla than a man, actually come into a court house and swear they could not arrest one eight stone larrakin, and them armed with battens and neddies, without some civilians assistance and some of them going to the hospital from the affects of hits from the fists of the larrakin. And the Magistrate would send the poor little Larrakin into a dungeon for being a better man than such a parcel of armed curs.

What would England do if America declared war and hoisted a green flag, as its all Irishmen that has got command of her armies forts and batteries. Even her very life guards and beef tasters are Irish.  Would they not slew around and fight her with their own arms for the sake of the colour they dare not wear for years?
