The Late Lord Audley
Jests Home
MR. PHILIP THICKNESSE, father of the late Lord Audley, being in want of
money, applied to his son for assistance. This being denied, he
immediately hired a cobbler's stall, directly opposite his lordship's
house, and put up a board, on which was inscribed, in large letters,
Boots and shoes mended in the best and cheapest manner, by Philip
Thicknesse, father of Lord Audley. His lordship took the hint, and
the board was removed.
