Abstract:
"A scene in court, with the Chief Justice (Ellenborough) seated between two other judges. In front and below are three counsel and two clients. A barrister stands to examine a witness, a stout man, well dressed but countrified (right): "Well Sir, you are a witness in this Cause, eh? You look like a very knowing fellow to be sure! pray now do you know the difference between the Mortgager and the Mortgagee?" The man answers: "To be sure I do, for example now! I nod at you, then I am the Noder and you are the Nodee." All except the questioner smile; a distressed usher (right) exclaims "Silence there!"."--British Museum online catalogue
