A satirical print mocking a scene in the Temple Church, Bristol, where clerics including Joseph Easterbrook, attemped an exorcism on a man named George Lukins, with various attendees expressing concern and support. A ballad seller waves in his right hand a sheet "A miracle or the devil, his own enemy" and in his left hand four sheets with legible titles referencing Elizabeth Canning, the Rabbit Woman, Cock Lane Ghost, and Stockell wonders. A "Methodist Cant" sits on a "Devils Nest" in the lower right as one demon emerges from the egg with a speech balloon "Our Master Hath deceived us, Oh!"

Abstract:
"A crowd watches three country girls who race (left to right) barefoot and lightly clad; a dog has tripped up a fourth. A dog runs too, with some object tied to its tail. Many of the crowd are in violent action, fighting or falling. Spectators watch from a wagon into which a very fat woman is being hoisted. Others fall from a bench (right), near which are a man on stilts with a fiddle on his back, and another blowing a coach-horn. A horse driven by a would-be fashionable in a gig plunges into the crowd, and the driver is fiercely assailed by two mounted men. In the background, on a ridge, are a few small tents with banners and spectators, indicating a village fair. Farther off (right) is a church with a double spire."--British Museum online catalogue
