A judge sits in a chair (left) looking at sailor who stands hat in hand before him. He says, "Are you certain, in respect to your being sober at the time the circumstance happened." The sailor with caricatured features and warts on his face, replies: "Sober. Come I like that, may I never again weigh anchor if I would not call him a lubber be he who he would, that would say I was drunk, please your grave and reverend worship. I had only shipp'd in eight grogs and a gill not enough to make a lawyer merry, in short your honor, I'll be d-nd if I was not as sober as a judge."

"A paunchy and bespectacled clergyman standing at left, reading nearsightedly from a paper on which are seen the words 'Petitioner will ever Pray', to a veteran soldier with a wooden left leg standing indignantly at right, who waves a stick in his right hand at the parson, and holds his tricorne in his left; their speech is above their heads. The clergyman: 'Well friend Cartridge. I have drawn up your petition, mentioned wounds, long service &c &c - concluding as usual, "And your petitioner will ever pray!' The soldier: 'Will ever pray! - that may do very well for a parson, - but d-d bad coming from an Old Soldier! - No - Ill have it inserted, "And your Petitioner" will ever fight!'"--British Museum catalogue
