The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil" class="extiw" title="w:Devil">Devil</a>, hairy and grinning, stands on the edge of the pit of Hell holding up a tall trident, from the prongs of which Curtis, in a green bag, and in profile to the left, is suspended. The tape which ties up the bag serves as a halter for Curtis; from it hangs a loop on which is affixed a large red seal on a square of parchment, showing that the bag is secret. His head, grossly carbuncled, and wearing the sailor's hat of the Walcheren prints, see No. 11353, is framed by the mouth of the bag; from the bottom of the bag his legs dangle. The Devil has webbed and barbed wings and a barbed tail; he prances delightedly. At his feet is a large scroll headed: 'A List of the Committee of Secrecy, that Voted for the Suspending of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_Corpus_Act_1816" class="extiw" title="w:Habeas Corpus Act 1816">Habeas Corpus Act</a>! -  Ald. Sir W-m C-s'. Flames and smoke form a background.
