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:: "An election riot. In the foreground Sheridan (left) stands over Sir Sampson Wright who kneels on the ground in abject alarm. Sheridan holds him by the collar and shakes his fist in his face; from his pocket protrudes a paper inscribed 'Drury Lane'. On the right is a party of Guards, one pierces with his bayonet Fox's posterior, drawing blood. Fox, the central figure, prances in pain and alarm, his hat falling off. Behind, Townshend (?) and Burke hold up their hands in shocked surprise. One of the Guards deliberately pierces with his bayonet the posterior of his own officer, a lean foppish man resembling the officer in BMSat 7174. The other Guards (right) carrying muskets against their shoulders watch both outrages with amusement. Behind Sheridan and on the extreme left is a man holding up a banner, inscribed 'Valiant Townsend', on which are a wine-bottle and glass and a dice-box and dice. In the background is a dense crowd represented by heads and by hats, two of which are being waved in the air. Beneath the design is etched: 'When Sampson as Justice - by Soldiers defended, Went to quell wicked Whigs who've mild peace oft offended, Bold Brindsley seiz'd on him, & swore he'd well shake him, Crying, Justice ne'er did, nor e'er should overtake him. Bow, wow, wow. Sampson down on his knees like a Saint at devotion, Drops his Jaw-Bone, - while F-x seconds Brindleys mad motion, The Guards do their duty - prick Charles - he beseeches, And alarm'd, then let's fly - thro' his sad sattin Breeches, Bow wow wow.'"--British Museum online catalogue
