Usury bridled or hoppy-kikki hall, in an uproar (BM 1868,0808.4552)

Hopkins, the City Chamberlain, seated in an armchair (right) outside a small one-storied building symbolizing the Chamberlain's office. He holds a document inscribed "16 1/2 Pr Ct", saying, "It's a fair price". Beside him (left) is an open box inscribed "City Chest", full of money-bags. The building behind him is decorated with the City Arms, and flies a flag inscribed "Honesty Rewarded". A small projection from the main building immediately above Hopkins's head is inscribed "Morgages Annuities Bonds in Judgement. Colatl. Securities."
He appears unconscious of a lawyer (left) wearing a gown who advances towards him, holding by a chain a monster with the body of a dog and three human heads, two of which, and perhaps the third which is partly concealed, have bearded Jewish profiles. The lawyer holds a rolled document inscribed "Bill to Pre[?vent Usury]"; he is saying, "If I can't extirpate ye, I'll bridle you". Over his head flies Fame holding out a wreath and palm branch. The three heads of the monster are saying, "How cursedly the Lawyer pulls; Damn this Bill I can't keep my Horse and my Whore now", and "May our holy Phrophet Moses Confound 'em". In one paw is a rolled document inscribed "To the Clerk of the City Till", in the other, "Morgage on the Green horn Estates". 1 April 1777
