Mrs. Clarke stands between Wardle and Wright, with her hands on her hips. Wardle turns his head from her to speak to General Clavering, who stands on the far left. Clavering stands glaring angrily at Mrs. Clarke and says, "I intend to commence an Action against her for obtaining Mony under false pretences in the case of French's Levy—I'll teach her to send Gentlemen to Newgate." Wardle answers, "Leave her to me I'll touch her up in the Furniture Business." Mrs. Clarke says: "I dont care a fig for any of you—and as to you Mr Furniture Monger—I'll be before hand with you." Wright, the upholsterer, stands behind her at right, looks to the left scowling, and says: "That's a good girl follow him up—I'll back you I'll let him know who's Wright and whose Wrong. If I don't enter an action against him I am no Upholsterer." Serjeant Best is at the far right wearing a wig and gown andholding papers titled "Brief. He looks towards the four people and says, "That's right my good Friends it is All for the Best."
