Plate from the 'Satirist', x. 315. A procession of ragamuffins, some riding on broom-sticks, advances towards a signpost (right) pointing 'To Reading', on which sits the Devil, pointing out the way. They wave their hats and cheer frantically, shouting "Hallet for ever." One shouts: "By J—s I'm his home made freeholder Huzza"; another says: "Ill register his deeds!" The Devil: "I have registered them already." A man at the head of the procession, better dressed than the others, wears leg-irons; a paper inscribed 'Newgate Callender' hangs from his pocket. Among the marchers are two braying asses. Behind a hedge (right) and in the background, is a crowd of astonished spectators.
