Abstract:: "An election mob in which Townshend and his supporters, as butchers, are violently attacking the populace with cleavers and marrow-bones. They wear aprons with butchers' steels dangling from the waist. George Hanger (right), his hat decorated with three ostrich feathers and the coronet of the Prince of Wales, raises a cleaver in both hands and threatens two constables with staves who fall backwards, wounded or terrified. He is in violent action, one foot rests on the unconscious body of a sailor whose face is gashed and bleeding. In the sailor's hand is a flag with a ship and the words 'Royal Navy'; on this Townshend, who uses his marrow-bone and cleaver as a musical instrument, not as weapons, is trampling. Behind Hanger, Fox, climbing above the crowd, is violently smashing the sign of 'The King's Head' (a bust portrait of the King) which is over a door inscribed 'Martin'. In the foreground a woman half-lying on the ground tries to protect her screaming infant from a cleaver and bone brandished by Sheridan. On the extreme left Lord Derby attacks a kneeling sailor with a wooden leg. Behind Sheridan, Burke raises a cleaver in both hands, and behind him the Duke of Norfolk waves a flag inscribed 'Townsend and Liberty'. Behind is a dense crowd brandishing cleavers and bones, while others attempt to escape. On the right are houses inscribed 'James Str[eet]', the houses of Covent Garden are indicated on the left."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A design divided into two portions by a vertical line and a slanting line which diverges to the right from the vertical line forming with it an obtuse angle. On the left of this division are the Speaker and three members of the House of Commons; on the right the Chancellor and three peers. Only a small part of the Speaker and his chair are visible on the extreme left. Fox stands facing him, his right hand extended, his left on his hip, a scroll inscribed 'Consuetudo et Lex Parliamenti' issues from his mouth. Burke stands with his back to Fox, scowling with folded arms; his scroll is inscribed 'Tropes Figures and a long Speech'. Sheridan stands in back view, facing Burke and bending forward, his scroll is 'Speech all Point'. The figures on the right have similar attitudes to those on the left, only the extreme left of the Chancellor and Woolsack being visible. Loughborough, in back view, wearing a judge's wig and gown, says "Lex Parliamenti"; Stormont says "Long Speech". Lord Derby, turning to the right in a mincing attitude, says, "Point de tout"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of another version of the same design
