No 184

In 1836, It was agreed to leave off that beastly, annual practice of ditch leaping over Battersea Fields; for which, Dr Williamson gave us an early play. On a former season, we had been prevented going on the water, on account of the number of fellows out of school with colds, caused by ditch leaping.
