In a tavern, a group of men, several of them with very large bellies, sit around a table with a large punch bowl in the center; they are smoking pipes, some laughing at their companion who has just been struck with a stick by a large woman; others look up in alarm while still others continue to read. In preparing for another strike she accidentally hits the innkeeper wearing an apron behind her as he brings in another punch bowl, which spills as raises his arms. Above the fireplace is picture of a man racing a horse; another print of a horse hangs above the door. Their hats hang on pegs on the walls around the room

The background is formed by the lower part of houses in Covent Garden showing the arcade of the Piazza, a sedan chair (right) stands under an arch.

"A stout John Bull sits in an arm-chair holding a long pipe in his left hand which rests on a circular table beside a glass and bottle of 'Coniac'. He looks up with an anxious scowl at an elderly man who stands (right), saying, "I 'am come again about the Taxes Sir - if agreeable to you to discharge them". The tax-collector holds a large open book, 'New Taxes for the Year 1796', [The last figure is doubtful] in which he writes with his left hand. He wears a hat in which a pen is thrust, an ink-bottle hangs from a button, in each pocket of his greatcoat is a large book, one being 'Additional Taxes on Window Lights'.
