Abstract:
"Ladies stand on a snow-covered bank in the middle distance watching the skaters. In the foreground are four skaters in absurd positions. A dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029) lies on his back, trying to ward off with one leg another who reels backward striking him on the chin with the point of his skate; the former says: "What are you at there! you'll put my wig out of Buckle." The other exclaims: "O Lord! how they are laughing at us!" A third dandy has collided with a fat man whom he clasps round the waist; both are about to fall heavily on the prostrate skater. He says: "Pon honor Sir I beg pardon! you must thank the Ladies!" Men in the distance skate with ease; some play (?) hockey with sticks and a cork."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Judges and barristers, variously mounted, and bunched together, are galloping towards Hell, where flames rise from a pit (right). They are led by the Devil, black and naked, with webbed wings, who rides the skeleton of a horse and grasps a sceptre inscribed 'P'. In front two demons, dressed as postilions, act as outriders riding together on a smaller horse's skeleton. The foremost flourishes two rolled documents: 'B[ill] of Indictment' and 'Exparte Information', and shouts: "D--n your lazy bones make haste, do'nt you see what company we have got." The other has a document inscribed 'Declaration' and cries: "Come Gentlemen do'nt be chop fallen tho' we have no juries you will have justice done ye--!" Nearest the spectator is Ellenborough mounted on a tiger, his head concealed, but identified by his wig and gown, his bulk, and his words (to the Devil): "You infernal Imp what are you grining at an be d--d to you!!" [cf. No. 12808]. Next him is the Chancellor, Eldon, on a horse; he says: "Throw it into Chancery, and I'll warrant it will lay there long enough." Beside these two are two barristers (perhaps the Attorney-General and the Solicitor-General, Shepherd and Gifford); one holds his nose, saying, "Curse it what a smell of Brimstone, one would think we were all going to Hell." The other, who rides a (?) fox, leans forward, to address the Devil: "I say Friend do you think we can put off the trial till next term." The Devil answers: "Indeed Friend Botherem we have no put off's in our court, Justice and Dispatch is the Law that guides us." A third barrister (left) sits facing his horse's tail, addressing a miserably emaciated and ragged man who is at the back of the procession on a wretched horse; he holds a 'Writ of Error' and says: "Egad I am afraid I shall not be up to the practice of this court, but with your assistance we shall have time to breathe a little." The other, who personifies the 'Long Vac[ation]', the name being on a scarf round his hat, answers: "Yes! yes! the long Vaccation has given many a poor fellow time to breathe, and brought their Tormentors to their last gasp!" In the background (left) a crowd of pedestrians advances with a banner inscribed 'Supaena' [sic]; above them hovers a demon."--British Museum online catalogue
