"Two designs, side by side, each with title. [1] John, a very fat and jovial 'cit', leans back in an arm-chair holding up a glass of port. On the table beside him (right) are a decanter of 'Port', round of beef (pushed aside), pipe, tobacco-box. An empty tankard lies on the floor. He says: "Well a glass of good Port cheers both Body and mind and enables one to gthrough [sic] the fatigues of Business. Here's a bumper to the great Chatham aye he was a statesman A greater in England there never was known, A friend to the People, a friend to the Throne." On the wall is a framed portrait (three-quarter length) of 'Good Queen Bess' above three broadside ballads: 'The Land we live in'; 'Oh the roast Beef of Old England'; 'May we Live all the days of our Lives'. A fat bull-dog (left) gnaws a large bone. On the floor are also papers: 'Orders for Russia'; 'Good [sic] ship'd for America'; 'Ord . . .'; 'Good shipd for Spain'. [2] John, lean, ragged and starving, sits in profile to the left, on a broken chair in a ruinous garret, contemplating suicide. The head and shoulders of a stout tax-collector appear outside a (broken) casement window; he says: "Oh there you are enjoying yourself! I have been kocking [sic] at the door this have hour. I want your property Tax I had a deal of trouble last time I thought you had run away." John: "Why there is very little of me left sure enough you need not trouble yourself to call any more, for that will be gone soon." He faces a table, with an open drawer, on which a razor lies on a book: 'Toughts [sic] on suicide by Danl Doleful'; there are also a broken pitcher, an onion, &c. A starving cat looks up at its master. On the floor is a torn and discarded 'Order Book'. A 'Gazette' with two columns headed respectively 'Bankrupts', 'Promo[tions', an attack on 'placemen'], lies on large papers headed 'Butchers Bill'. With these are an empty plate and spoon and burned-down candle. There is a miserable bed (right); laths show through the broken plaster. On the wall is a large half length print of 'Iohn Bellingham' above broadside-ballads: 'Oh Dear what can the matter be', and 'there's nae luck about the House'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A magistrate, identified as 'the Hon. Sir Thomas McKenny', Mayor of Dublin, sits at a table on a small dais, giving instructions to constables. On the wall behind is a crowned Irish harp. Beside him sits a clerk, pen in hand. Two ladies watch the proceedings, seated by the table. The two constables have large bludgeons; their clothes are patched and ragged, but they have a sanctimonious air. One says: "Plaise your Worship it's a scandalous shame that honest Women can't take a bit of a walk near the Royal Canal but they must shut their eyes! as the place is full of Naked blackguards; cooling themselves this hot weather." The other adds: "Upon my Soul your Honor it's all true they are standing all about the place your worship!" One woman, whose breasts are immodestly exposed, says: "What a Shame!!" The other: "What they say is very true I've seen it myself, it's a great shame." The Mayor rests one gouty foot on a stool; before him is an open book, 'Burns Justice'; its right page is inscribed: '20 pence is 1s.8d--6 & 4 is 10'. He answers with a startled expression: "Cooling themselves by J--!! in the Royal Canal too!!! the Devil burn 'em!!--I'll cool the Vagabonds-- Paddy O' Shaughnessy. I give you & Old O' Calahan the thanks of the Corporation for your Modesty, go to the canal tomorrow & take away all their cloaths, I'll teach the rascals Decency!" The clerk says: "By the Powers! we'll commit them." Two men, barelegged and ragged, look in at the door (left). One says: "Sure we are only diverting ourselves your Worship becase we have no dinner"; the other: "Faith & sure & the'll never lave us to go home Naked!" A dandy stands against the wall looking with quizzical amusement at the Mayor."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A sequel to British Museum Satires No. 13397. The Mayor and clerk sit as before. The two constables have brought in three naked bathers, who modestly try to screen their persons with hat, handkerchief, and a basket inscribed 'Sprats from the Royal Canal'. The two women peep in at the door, scandalized; their place near the table is taken by a woman in a red cloak who says: "Blood & Ouns your Worship give poor pat his breeches!!!!" One constable, with coat and breeches over his arm, points to his victims: "Here your Worship, I have brought three of those rebelious Naked Vagabonds before your Lordship to be treated your honor according to Law." The other, also holding ragged garments, stands smugly silent. The men say: [1] "Please your worshipful Lordship tell the Constable to give me my Cloathes--sure & little enough I have of them"; [2] "O! your honor! for the decency of Ireland don't let the Constable sell my poor rags!!!" [3] "By my soul I think is Lordship is going to turn us all into Hottentots." The Mayor, extending a clenched fist, shouts: "You rascals! how dare you presume to cool your selves in the Royal Canal--? No one in this Country must meddle with Royalty--I think I have prevented further indecency on your Parts--give them their cloathes Constable." His left hand rests on a paper: 'Plan for Reforming the City of Dublin'. The two women at the door say: "La what a sight!!!!!!" and "I think it is a greater shame than it was before--I'm quite shock'd to see it." The dandy (? Archer) looks mockingly towards the Mayor, saying, "Well! I think an Archer Bull is not to be found in Joe Miller"."--British Museum online catalogue
