For the trial of Warren Ha[stings]/ Seventh day |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Parodied by, or a parody of, BMSat 7277. A design based on the tickets of admission to Westminster Hall, which bore the name and arms of Sir Peter Burrell, Deputy Great Chamberlain; [in right of his wife, Lady Priscilla Bertie, who with her sister was jointly hereditary Great Chamberlain of England] in the centre of the escutcheon were the arms of his wife: three battering-rams placed horizontally. The crest was an embowed arm holding an olive-branch. In place of the rams' heads of the battering-rams are the heads, in profile to the left, of Burke, frowning, of Fox, smiling, and of Francis with a fixed stare. The arm of the crest holds a scourge whose lashes terminate in scorpions and is inscribed 'Lex Parliamenti omnipotens'. Beneath the escutcheon is a motto on a scroll: 'Sub libertate Tyran' [sic] which replaces the original motto: 'Sub Libertate Quietem'. Two supporters have been added: Dexter, a weeping judge, his cap inscribed 'Common Law', holds a scroll whose words are scored through: '[Magna] Charta Judicium Parium aut Lex Terrae'. Sinister, Justice, looking up in terror at the scourge by which she is threatened, and dropping her scales.

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) On 22 Feb., the seventh day of the trial, the peers decided, in agreement with Thurlow's speech, that the rules of the Courts of Justice in regard to the hearing of evidence should be followed, in place of the practice adopted in the impeachments of Strafford and others, the 'Lex Parliamenti', for which Fox argued. Wraxall, 'Memoirs', v. 69 ff.; Sir G. Elliot, 'Life and Letters', i. 195-6; 'Trial of Hastings', pp. 10 ff. See BMSats 7277, 7278, 7289, 7297, 7305. Placed by Miss Banks among unpublished prints. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
