A view of the back window of a carriage on a country, tree-lined lane, shows a woman unswaddling her screaming child with a look of concern. An obese man to her right plugs his ears with his fingers, red-faced and angry. A thinner man to her left holds his nose. Another man in a bonnet leans out the window of the carriage with a surprised look on his face. In the front is a glimpse of the whip and the arm of the coach driver as he drives the coach quickly down the lane, hurling clouds of dust behind them. A dog looks down from the roof of the coach

Two vicars sit at a table in a sitting room; a painting on the wall behind them is labelled "View of the vicarage". One of the men is very fat and wears a night cap; he dozes in an arm chair, his foot on a sleeping dog at his feet, the "Oxford Journal" on the floor having apparently dropped from his hand. The other, a thinner man, pours two generous glasses of port from a full carafe, and observes to his companion "What is life without the enjoyment of a friend".

"Mounted yokels, riding right to left, make havoc in a farm-yard. One only wears uniform; he shouts at them from the right, with upraised hand. A man riding a horse with blinkers fires a blunderbuss, shutting his eyes; he damages a pigeon-house and kills pigeons. He is riding up to a well in which a terrified man has sought shelter, clutching the rope and looking over the top. Two other inexpert horsemen use clubs, one a flail, one a pitchfork. A witch-like old woman holding a broom lies on her back; her basket of cocks and hens has been overturned and the birds escape. A bull and a bulldog face each other belligerently. In the background (left) a fierce engagement between farmers, labourers, and horsemen is in progress."--British Museum online catalogue
