Tryalle forre libelle. Pleadingge toe ann indictemenete

A trial scene, the judge and counsel having the heads of owls. The prisoner at the bar (right) is a burlesque copy of 'a free born Englishman', heavily shackled and with padlocked lips. Behind him stands a jailor, with keys hanging from his waist, holding a headsman's axe immediately behind the prisoner's head. Counsel sit at a round table between judge and prisoner; one has risen and addresses the judge, pointing to the dock. The judge, pen in hand, is blindfolded, with a pair of scales above his head. The jury, childishly drawn, sit in their box, full-face.
