Tom Nero, now a highwayman, has been arrested for the murder. He stands in the churchyard over the body of his pregnant lover, Ann Gill, whose throat and wrist are severed. One from the group of men who have apprehended Tom show him the knife as the others restrain him; they are armed with pitchforks, sticks, and other farm tools. Ann lies on her back on the ground, the bundle of plate that she has stolen from her mistress at Nero's request spilling out at her side. The light from the lantern in the left foreground illuminates the contents of Ann's letter to Tom telling the story of her entanglement and guilt. A box with her initials is open revealing a copy of the Book of Common Prayer and a copy of God's revenge against murder. Also on the ground near the lantern are Tom's pistol and a collection of watches that he has stolen. The clock in the church tower shows 1:00; a bat and owls circle overhead

In an underground drinking den Tom Idle, with a pistol at his foot and another in his pocket, shows his stolen goods to his one-eyed accomplice unaware that behind him his companion (the prostitute) from the garret bedroom (Plate 7) is betraying him to the magistrate and constables. A serving woman with a patch where her nose should be approaches the two thieves with a large tankard in her hands. To their right, the body of a man is being pushed through a trapdoor. In the far right a soldier with his back to the viewer embraces a woman. In the background there is a brawl while two other men sit by the fireside, one of whom is smoking a pipe before a roaring fire, the other asleep under a rope (noose?). The right of the frame is decorated with a scourge, manacles and a hangman's rope; on the left frame hang the mace of the City of London, the alderman's gold chain and a sword of state
