- Abstract
-
"Bowes, apparently very ill, is helped into court by two men who hold him by the arms. On the right., above the level of the court, the two judges, Ashurst (left) and Buller (right), look down at him. Beneath them stands the Clerk of Arraigns, in legal wig and gown, reading from a large document inscribed 'Articles of Charges'. The men holding Bowes wear riding-boots and long coats and hold cudgels; they appear to be two of the Bow Street Officers, McManus and others, who pursued Bowes with a writ and brought him back to London. Behind and on the right of Bowes is a crowd of spectators. The most prominent is a lady with her hands in a muff, her breasts immodestly exposed, with a maid or attendant who holds her arm, evidently Lady Strathmore and her maid Morgan."--British Museum online catalogue.
