"A gouty old magistrate sits at a table in a parlour in an armchair with its back to the fire (right); his clerk writes. A parish beadle with his staff stands just inside the door, behind a ragged dustman or labourer, who scratches his head while a pregnant woman (who is swearing a child to the latter) holds her apron to her eye."--British Museum online catalogue
