Dancing Master strikes pupil!
Reported in the Sydney Herald in 1832.
"A man applied at the Police Office, on Monday, for a summons against a dancing master, who had struck his toes violently with his fiddlestick, because they had not a sufficiently angular inclination, he — the applicant – -had no idea of such treatment, as he was severely troubled with corns. The Bench dismissed him with a hint at the old adage, ” if you play at bowls, you must take the rubbers."
