"An altered copy of British Museum number 3764 (circa 1792), a mezzotint after Dighton. The dress of the two non-barristers has been modernized, one or two background heads have been omitted. The principal barrister has been altered from a grotesque to a portrait of MacNally, adapted, in reverse, from No. 11409. It is he who holds out his hand for coins to a melancholy countryman, and has a large brief inscribed 'Gaffer Flatscull agt Ralph Clodpole'. This and all other inscriptions are as in No. 3764. The attorney (right), who stands in profile to the left holding a pamphlet: 'Practic'[sic] of petty Fogging', wears a top-hat and has short cropped hair, and is better characterized than in the original and may be a portrait."--British Museum online catalogue
