A judge on a raised seat, plaintiff and defendants, witnesses or spectators stand below, surrounding a rectangular barrier within which is a table, at which a clerk is writing. Four counsel stand within the barrier, two to the right. of the judge, two to his left. The Judge (Mansfield) sits, his left forefinger raised, listening with a stern expression to the remarks addressed to him. In the centre, in back view, stands Lord Grosvenor, wearing a tie-wig with horns, to which he points, saying: "I only want to know for a Certainty whether I am entitled to this Head Dress". On the left in profile to the right. stand Lady Grosvenor, holding out a fan, and Cumberland. She says: "My case shall be laid before this Court, and I can have nothing to fear from an Upright Judge"; he says: "I can do no Wrong". Behind him on the extreme left is a woman wearing a hood and holding a fan. She says: "It was a Pity to disturb them when they were going to Prince Making". One of the counsel on the Judge's right says: "If her L-----d, has not bedded with her these two years She cannot be with Child, but she may be with Prince".

"The King, in Chinese costume and seated on a cushion, among the chinoiseries of the Pavilion (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12749), throws up his arms in terror at the entry (right) of the Queen, closely followed by Alderman Wood. Her demure dress contrasts with that of a woman, who, much alarmed, runs off to the left from beside the King. Sidmouth (left) and Castlereagh (right), both in Chinese dress, are equally terrified, and Lord Eldon peeps anxiously from behind a little pagoda. Both visitors extend an arm towards the King in an authoritative gesture. Words float from them towards the King: 'Nothing extenuate nor set down aught in Malice [Othello, v. ii] men sleeping with her at Black Heath 1808 v. call Hoods [sic].'"--British Museum online catalogue
