"Satire on the duel between Horatio Walpole and William Richard Chetwynd showing the point where they are separated by a clerk. Walpole, on the right, accuses his opponent, "Would you not have hang'd my Brother at ye door of ye House", to which Chetwynd, falling back, his wig and hat slipping off, replies, "Yes by G[o]d & I had another Vote for You". On the left stands gowned gentleman in full-bottom wig, crying "Hold! Hold! I'll give you a dinner & make it up" (this man is identified by Stephens as Lord Hardwicke, but may well be intended for Speaker Onslow). On the right, two butchers encourage the duel, one saying, "Let 'um fight & be damnd" and the other, "No, No, he voted us Gin"."--British Museum online catalogue
