"A magistrate sits behind his table listening intently to the angry harangue of a naval officer (right) who faces the accused (left), demure-looking, plainly-dressed woman, wearing a checked apron tucked round her waist, but evidently a prostitute. She is supported by two keen-looking lawyers. The officer, who is paunchy and wears very wide white trousers, stands with legs apart, right arm extended with pointing forefinger. He shouts: No. No. I've found my Breeches, but consider your Worship how I shall be Quized--The L--d H--h-A--l knows all about it. I never was before the Public but once, shant forget that in a hurry--Yes--yes I found the breeches, but where's my Silver Gilt Trafalgar Medal eh? I'll have it if it costs me a Thousand Pounds. I could'ent live without it. Ay Ay she's the Thief but I will not hang her unless your worship wishes it--If I had her aboard my Ship D--n me I'de give her a round dozen--I would. Behind him stand a footboy in livery and two rough-looking men. The woman extends both arms and says pathetically I never robbed you Sir.

Title from caption below image., Plate from book: Joe Lisle's play upon words, pub. by Thomas McLean, 1828., Sheet trimmed within plate mark., and Not in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum. Division I, political and personal satires.
A stereotyped image of an old maid who wears a cap and sits very upright in a high-back chair as she reads a newspaper, The Morning Herald. She has a large, hooked nose and wears spectacles, her lips pursed with disapproval at what she reads. She has a cat in her lap and a parrot sits on the chair back; her feet rest on the fire grate before the stove on which sits a kettle. In the foreground on a carpet and a rug beside her are three dogs. On the table beside her are a box of snuff and back-scratcher. A folding screen forms the background. On the mantel are a pair of statuettes of a woman with a spear and a dog leaping at her side (presumably Diana) and a taxidermized cat in a glass case. The picture on the wall above these objects further amplify the subject
