description

Summary

An elderly Justice of Peace (left), in profile to the left, approaches the side of a rustic latrine, a lean-to without a door; within, concealed from the man, an old woman in profile to the left is superintending a little girl who sits on the seat; in her hand is a torn paper: 'The Last Speech or Dying words of Liberty'. On the side of the shed has been chalked a childish caricature of Pitt with (or hanging from) a gallows. The magistrate, who wears old-fashioned dress, says, with wrinkled nose and extended hand: "I am sure I smell Treason and by Virtue of my office I have a right to peep every where, Mercy on us! - what a Seditious Grumbling."
