"A scene near the sea. Two naval officers carry off two plump and pretty girls and run towards a boat, where two sailors wait (left). They are followed by a fat old woman, screaming furiously and brandishing an umbrella. She runs (right to left) at the head of a flock of schoolgirls, mature young women, two and two, who watch their captured companions with excited envy. They emerge from a shady lane where a signpost points (right) to 'Mrs Crostich's Boarding School for Young Ladies'. In the foreground (right) a grotesque lean and elderly man has fallen in the chase, losing his hat and wig, but clenching a fist, and clutching his cane in frantic anger. A dog joins in the chase."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"A yokel in a long smock (right) stands, hat in hand, before three elderly J.P.s in old-fashioned dress; he tugs at his rough hair. One of the justices sits in an arm-chair, with folded hands and downcast frown. The other two, leaning across a table on which are writing materials, scowl angrily; one, clenching his fist, says: "How dare you Fellow to say it is unfair to bring you before one hundred Magistrates when you see there are but three of us!" He answers: "Why please your Worship you maun know--when I went to school, they Taught I that a one and two O's stood for a hundred--so do you see your Worship be One and the other two be Cyphers!"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"An elderly judge holding a large open book, 'Law . . . Statutes', addresses a juryman, who stands facing him in the jury-box, where the rest of the jury are registering disgust. He says: "Mr Juryman-- you have requested permission to retire for a few moments--I have been looking some time for a precedent, and have at last found by the 25th of William Rufus, Chap 531, that a Juryman on any urgent occasion may retire backwards for the space of ten minutes only--therefore you may withdraw." The juryman answers that it is no longer necessary. Between judge and juryman are three grinning barristers."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"A tall French soldier, swarthy, mustachioed, muscular, and sinister stands almost full-face, his mouth open as if shouting. In his large cocked hat are three large favours, one white inscribed 'Vive Le Roi', one tricolour inscribed 'Vive Le Empereur', the uppermost and largest, 'Vive Le Diable', is pink. He holds his musket by the barrel, the butt resting on the ground, in his left hand he holds out a snuff-box. His uniform is neat, but his feet are bare, except for remnants of leather across the instep. By his head in large letters: 'French Constancy' (left) and 'French Integrity' (right). Behind and on a smaller scale are emblems of fickleness: a windmill (left) represents 'French Stability'; an ape and cat embracing, both on their hind-legs, represents: 'French Union between the National Guard and Troops of the Line'."--British Museum online catalogue.
