"A satire on "hireling constables", that is, on constables who were paid as substitutes for parishioners who were bound to serve annually without pay. The interior of a watch-house, where the constable of the night sits in an armchair, wearing a hat and holding a long staff. Watchmen are bringing in persons arrested during the night, others sit or stand about; some are smoking. All the figures have the heads of apes. A watchman bringing in a young woman shows the constable his broken lantern. He is followed by a watchman bringing in a well-dressed young man. Other watchmen, with a woman wearing an apron, are seen through a large open doorway; behind them are buildings and the tower of Westminster Abbey. On the top of the door, which opens inwards, sits a large owl. A large fire blazes. The room is lit by a lantern hung from the roof and two large candles. Large flagons of drink are in evidence. Verses (eighteen lines) are engraved beneath the design, whose tenor is that the young woman is used by the constable as a decoy, the man is charged (falsely) with having assaulted the watch and broken the lantern. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A procession of bishops and clergy march from left to right. headed by a prelate, evidently Archbishop Markham, on a prancing horse, holding a drawn sword. After him walk two boy choristers chanting from an open music book held between them. One sings "O Lord our God, Arise", the other, "Scatter our Enemies". Next come three bishops: a lean ascetic who carries their standard, between two who are stout and gross. On the standard, which is attached to a crozier, is "To Arms O Israel", and a mitre between two crossed croziers. The prelate on the standard-bearer's left sings, "Give us good Beef in Store", the other, who carries a musket on his shoulder, sings "When that's gone, send us more". Behind them a fat bishop sings "And the Key of the Cellar Door", while the cleric next him, who wears an academic gown and cap, sings "That we may drink". Behind, the mitres of more bishops are visible, and a man in academic cap and gown, who sings, "From Labour & Industry - Good Lord deliver us".'--British Museum online catalogue
