A clerical J.P., ugly and elderly, sits full-face in a high-backed arm-chair, looking towards a demure young girl (left), who stands in profile to the right. His face is contorted with perplexity; the position of his feet indicates acute uncertainty. A man seated behind her on the extreme left listens intently through an ear-trumpet.   An ugly and satyr-like man stands beside the Justice's chair. Three similar men, and an old and bedizened woman, are seated by a table on the right, listening with amusement. Beneath the title: 'My Dear little Girl what have you been about, they say you are pregnant - I really dont know your Worship - Some Wicked Wretch is the Cause of this report - But If I have done any thing amiss Sir, I am sure I was Dreaming'. L. &amp; W., No. 105. 12 May 1794
