Abstract:
"Fourteen ugly and elderly men, much burlesqued, discuss libel proceedings. A large placard on the wall shows that they are members of 'The Rotten Bourough Society Established in 1810 Gibery Vixe [Vicary Gibbs] President Leatherbreech [Lethbridge] Vice--'. One stands in the centre, inspecting 'Cobbetts Register' through a glass; beside him is a very obese man, registering scandalized horror and trampling on 'Magna Charte[r]'. The others sit or stand in a shallow curve; on the extreme right one seated at a table writes on a paper inscribed 'Breach of Privilege'. A bundle of documents lies on the ground (right): 'Meetings of Freeholders Whig Club Speeches'; 'Sinecures Secret Service Money'; 'Pamphets' [sic] 'Civil List Reversions'; 'Bill of Rights'. The wall which forms a background is covered by bills, two pictorial: 'Mr Satirist' with a satyr's head and a scourge, and a 'View of the Tower' [unrecognizable]. The others: 'Monthly Statement of Politics'; 'Statesman Caveo'; 'Examiner a Watchful (eye) [depicted] upon You'; 'Enquiries into the Expedition to Walcheren Quere if not Treason' [see British Museum Satires No. 11530]; 'Morning Chronicle knows no bounds and must be Checked'; 'To the Keeper of Newgate'; 'List of those who Voted in the Minority'; 'Morn Post'; 'Indepent [sic] Wig Society--Speech of the Chairman'; 'Sarjant at Arms'; 'Treasury Bench'; 'Sir Francis Burdett committed to the Tower'; 'Proclamation Privy Council Ministers Present'; 'Coroners Inquest Justifiable Homicide'; 'List of Promotions'; 'Morning Post'; 'Commitment of Jno.

Abstract:
"A sequence of six scenes in compartments arranged in three pairs. [1] A foal lies beside its dam. [2] The owner leads the high-stepping animal across a race-course; behind (right) is the weighing-post. [3] Ridden by a huntsman he takes a flying leap over a wall; hounds run beside the animal. [4] He is one of a pair of galloping horses in a post-chaise, ridden by a postilion. An ugly couple sleep uneasily in the chaise. [5] As an emaciated pack-horse he plods along a rough track, thrashed by a coarse old peasant woman. [6] A huntsman stands on his dead body, cutting off the flesh for the hounds; carrion birds hover."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
