"Townsend, the Bow Street Officer, holding up his constable's staff, chases a man away from a country house, a corner of which appears on the right. A third man, Wellesley-Pole, shelters behind the constable, stretching out his arms towards his fleeing rival; he turns his head to listen to a pretty young woman who stands on a small iron balcony immediately behind him, with an open sash-window behind her. She says: "Risk not thy Precious life my Love in bold encounter with that dareing Scott." He answers: "no no my dear I'll shelter me behind the arm of Justice, & hunt him from his Scent by one of the most famous Bull Dogs in the Kingdom, & teach him never never to Dare to woo the [sic] from my Longing Arms Oh thou Golden Angel." A paper inscribed 'Scot' projects from the fugitive's pocket. Townsend says: "I'll teach you worsted working rascall to dare to set up in opposition to the Irish Secretary D-n your Impudence." A signpost points (left) to 'Norwhich' and (right) 'To Chippenham'."--British Museum online catalogue
