Reinhard	Lyr Req: Lish Young Buy a Broom (82* d)	RE: Lyr Req: Lish Young Buy a Broom	04 Dec 21
The whole entry in the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue: TO BRUSH. To run away. Let us buy a brush and lope; let us go away or off. To have a brush with a woman; to lie with her. To have a brush with a man; to fight with him. The cove cracked the peter and bought a brush; the fellow broke open the trunk, and then ran away. So, 'bought a brush' is confirmed as 'ran away', and a brush with the law should be a fight with the law (officer).
