Lord Lonsdale with the head of a wolf sits in his carriage, from which the horses have been taken, and is drawn (left to right) by men past a row of two-storied cottages which are falling to pieces. He wears an earl's coronet, and a military coat with a shirt frill; from his rapacious mouth issue the words "Dear Gentlemen this is too much, now you really distress me". A large earl's coronet is on the carriage door. A hind wheel rolls over an open book, 'Peter Pindar'. A stout fierce-looking man wearing a legal wig sits on the box, raising a whip whose lashes are three scrolls inscribed (in legal blackletter), 'Littledale versus Lonsdale', 'Indemnifications', and 'Sham Trials'. He holds a bunch of reins attached to the necks of the men dragging the carriage, on whose faces are fixed, propitiatory grins. From his pockets issue a volume inscribed 'Blackstone', and a paper: 'Bills unpaid'; he is Lonsdale's 'clerk and attorney'. Two of the men whom he drives say: "No Ropes equal to mine, at a dead pull and A glorious night for my Brewery". Another man is in rags. In front of the procession and on the extreme right walk two couples holding hands. These carry three banners, inscribed: 'The good Samaritan', 'The Lion The Lamb', and:

'The Blues are bound in Adamantine Chains But Freedom round each Yellow Mansion reigns'

One of the men says slyly to the woman he walks with:

'And makes the Farmers Wives & Daughters Game'

Behind the carriage (left) is a cheering crowd; they wave their hats frantically shouting, "Liberty, Huzza, Huzza". The man in the foreground is a sailor with a bludgeon. Over the door of one of the ruined cottages is a placard: 'To lett convenient lodgings.' Hand-coloured etching. Description from The British Museum.
