Abstract: "A scene in 'New Palace Yard' outside a stone building protected by posts and chains, its wall forming a background. Brougham (right), in wig and gown, vigorously pushes a broom against the hindquarters of an ass with the head of Alderman Wood (cf. British Museum Satires No. 14110). The ass, devouring thistles, kicks Brougham viciously. At the latter's feet is a bundle of papers: 'Brief Proceeding Scourge MP versus Booby Ass'."--British Museum online catalogue
