- Abstract:
- "A wild affray round a circular gaming-table seen at close range, only the heads and shoulders of those on the nearer side of the table being visible. An angry military officer wearing a cocked hat, with an empty wallet on the table before him, leans forward aiming his pistol at a lean and elderly man whose 'chapeau bras' and long pigtail indicate that he is French. The latter covers a pile of guineas with his hand and aims a pistol at his assailant. Some of the players are falling over in their eagerness to escape. Between the combatants, and on the further side of the table, one man holds a chair above his head, about to smite the officer; a fellow-officer raises a bottle and a candle-stick to strike the Frenchman. All the persons (sixteen) are in violent action, with which their expressions correspond. Some are in flight, others about to intervene. On the table are a triple candle-stick, a dice-box and dice, a sword, a hat containing coins, and a purse."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A scene on Clerkenwell Green, outside the 'Sessions House Crerenwell' [sic], whose door is on the extreme left. Two termagants face each other in the foreground; one spits at her enemy, arms akimbo, the other tries to use her fists but is held back by an elderly man who grasps her round the waist and kicks her, losing his tie-wig. The former woman is fashionably, the latter roughly, dressed. Both have coarse faces with a certain comeliness. In the background constables with staves are shepherding women through the door of the Sessions House, where the Middlesex magistrates sat. Other constables and women are suggested behind the 'Spit Fires'. On the right are old-fashioned gabled houses."--British Museum online catalogue
