A judge in wig and gown rides a gibbet, the upright placed horizontally, the cross-bar connected with the steering gear, and inscribed 'Invented by the Bank'; a noose hangs behind [see British Museum Satires No. 13198, &c.]. [4] 'Wellingtons Hobby', he rides a cannon, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13385. [5] 'The Lawyers Hobby'. A barrister in wig and gown rides a long cylinder inscribed 'Brief'.
