- Abstract:
- Folding plate (also issued separately) to 'Anti-Jacobin Review', i. 285, illustrating extracts from a pamphlet published by Wright: Considerable allowance to those who purchase Thousands and Tens of Thousands for distribution. A burlesque of the trial of O'Connor at Maidstone (22 May), parts of the court being hidden by the large labels which issue from the mouths of prisoner and witnesses. The presiding judge (Buller) looks down with horror at the witnesses, the other judges are hidden. O'Connor (not caricatured), wearing leg-irons, stands at the bar; his hands are clasped, and he bends forward in profile to the left, making a confession which, though condensed, does not differ substantially from that made by him, McNevin, and Emmet, and published in the Report of the Secret Committee made to the Irish House of Commons on 21 Aug. ('Lond. Chron.', 27 Aug.), ... 'I confess, that I became an United Irishman in 1796 & a Member of the National Executive, from 1796, to 1798.

- Abstract:
- Lord North balances smugly on his left foot atop the beam of a pair of scales tipping the balance in favor of a very obese Charles Fox. Fox laughs at Lord Shelburne who remains suspended on the other scale, unable to bring it down despite stamping his feet. He is being enveloped by a cloud of gas labelled "anathema" being excreted by North. Above to the left, George III, blindfolded with a tartan handkerchief, with the crown suspended above his head, reaches out from a cloud to place an enourmous wig on North's head

- Abstract:
- "A young woman stands upon a high stool, her skirts raised to show her posteriors to three men (half length) behind her. She bends forward, pointing to Charles Fox who stands with his hands handcuffed in a booth or box behind a bar. Fox has an enormous head and an expression of terrified dismay at the denunciation. Behind him is a man in profile holding a constable's staff. The three men are evidently Bow Street Justices (Sir Sampson Wright, Addington, and Bond); the principal magistrate (Wright) wears a hat and spectacles and is much caricatured (cf. British Museum Satires Nos. 6119-21). Above their heads are the evenly balanced scales of Justice. In front of the woman stands a clerk (half length) meditatively biting his pen."--British Museum online catalogue
