An Apple Stall, Mrs. Tarpey sitting at it. Magistrate and Policeman enter.</i> #/ <i>Magistrate</i>: So that is the Fair Green. Cattle and sheep and mud. No system. What a repulsive sight! <i>Policeman</i>: That is so, indeed. <i>Magistrate</i>: I suppose there is a good deal of disorder in this place? <i>Policeman</i>: There is. <i>Magistrate</i>: Common assault? <i>Policeman</i>: It's common enough. <i>Magistrate</i>: Agrarian crime, no doubt? <i>Policeman</i>: That is so. <i>Magistrate</i>: Boycotting? Maiming of cattle? Firing into houses? <i>Policeman</i>: There was one time, and there might be again. <i>Magistrate</i>: That is bad. Does it go any farther than that? <i>Policeman</i>: Far enough, indeed.

Scenes and speakers using italics

Use separate italics for "Scene" and the setting, and the colon goes outside the markups. This is also true for the names of the speakers that use italics and a colon as a separator.
