The interior of a club room, with a convivial group of men drinking and smoking. The motto behind the presiding officer's chair reads 'Mirth with Justice'. Through its lifespan The Bell Savage Inn was an Elizabethan playhouse, the coaching inn where Pocahontas stayed, the home of England's first rhinoceros and John Cassell's publishing house. It was demolished in 1873. George writes: ''The persons are well-characterized portraits. The chairman is 'Hurford, the Guildhall orator' (William Hurford, Deputy of Castlebaynard Ward). On his r., and on the extreme l. are Wright, distiller in Fleet Street, and Hamilton, clerk to William Woodfall, printer, holding the 'Morning Chronicle'. Opposite the latter sits Smith the printseller. On the chairman's l. are (l. to r.), Lamb, silversmith in Fetter Lane; Clark, sausage maker; Stephenson, an attorney; Clark, a bricklayer in Shoe Lane; Russell, a broker of Harp-Alley; Good, the auctioneer; Thorn; Dighton, the artist, on the extreme r. In the foreground (r.) by a small table sits Dighton's father; between the two Dightons is a man reading the 'Morning Post'. In front of him and facing the chairman stands Towse of Vauxhall, speaking, pipe in his l. hand, r. hand thrust in his waistcoat. Pipes, glasses, pots, papers of tobacco, and a punch-bowl are on the tables. Tom Thorpe, of the Globe Tavern, advances in the middle of the room, carrying a punch-bowl''. A rare print: the British Museum has two proof examples, yet George takes the title from Chaloner Smith, 'Court of Equity or Convivial City Meeting' with a date 1779. Apparently neither had seen a titled example.
