A companion print to BMSat 9353. John Bull, large and stout, stands between Pitt (right) and Dundas (left), who are much slighter and rather shorter. Pitt, his hands plunged in John's pockets, looks at him, saying, with an anxious expression: "By my new scheme I shall be able to ascertain every farthing in your pockets." John looks angrily at Pitt, saying: "Lord Love your heart, I have only the price of a pint of beer my Wife gave me leaving home: she keeps my little stock. I'll tell you what if you grope her in this manner she'll give you a nice douce in the chops for your pains." Dundas, dressed in tartan, quietly takes a purse from John's breeches pocket, saying, "Be quiet mon, it will make you as light and airy as the down of a Scotch Thistle!" 10 March 1799
