"A street scene at night. An affray between three fashionably dressed men and two watchmen who use bludgeons. They hold between them one young man; the second, in tail-coat and evening pantaloons, attacks a watchman with his cane; the third reclines on the ground, ineffectively flourishing an umbrella. The glass of a street-lamp above their heads has been cracked. The watchmen are determined fellows; one (left), in partly back view, has large letters on the back of his greatcoat: St J. | W, showing that the parish is that of St. James's or St. John's, Westminster. The pavement and cobbled roadway are broad, and behind two streets meet at right angles, receding left and right in perspective; the houses are uniform. There is a full moon."--British Museum online catalogue
