From 'The Rambler's Magazine'. Judge Buller (right), in judge's wig and robes, is raising a stick above the shoulders of a woman, who cowers away from him, holding up her hands. He says "Tis no bigger than my Thumb". She says, "Would I had known of this before Marriage". She is dressed in a cap, a petticoat, and an under-bodice; her stays lie on a chair (left) against which a cat is rubbing itself. A dog (right) barks. Leaning against the wall is a large bundle of rods like those in BMSat 6122, 6123. A partly-rolled document lies on the floor inscribed "A Husband may Chastize his Wife with a Stick the Size of his thumb. Coke".  1 February 1782
