Satire on Nicholas Paxton, solicitor to the Treasury, and his refusal to answer questions from the Committee of Secrecy enquiring into the conduct of Robert Walpole. Paxton and a woman are seated at a table in a cell in Newgate; they both hold handkerchiefs. On the floor are three iron hoops and a print of the Treasury; in the background, a curtained bed and, on the right, a roaring fire in a grate.
