[Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville] Scotch Harry on his Fast Trotter on a Journey to the North.
Argus [Charles Williams] del.t.
Pub.d April 15th 1805 by C. Knight Lambeth.
Coloured etching. Sheet 235 x 350mm (9¼ x 13¾"). Trimmed within plate on three sides. Some paper toning.
Melvill rides a rough horse with the face of Alexander Trotter, laiden with bags of 'siller' (silver) towards a sign marked 'Castle' by the side of the Tweed, as John Bull blows a trumpet blast marked 'Tenth Report'. The Commissioners of Naval Inquiry had just released a report on a fraud perpetrated by Trotter when he was the navy's paymaster. He had transferred money into his out account at Coutts, investing and loaning the funds at interest, from which he benefited, before returning the money to the navy. This satire suggests that Dundas, who had been Treasurer of the Navy at the time, also benefited. However Melville was acquitted in the trial in the House of Lords.

Eng.d. Publish'd May 15. 1806. by C Knight Lambeth.
Coloured etching. Sheet 340 x 235mm (13¼ x 9¼"). Trimmed to printed border.
Alexander Trotter carrys a kilted Lord Melville on his shoulders, menaced by curling waves, in which is a large foaming tankard of 'Whitbread Entire' and fish with the heads of judges. Although Trotter declares he will be safe, the inference is that Melville is in serious trouble. A satire on the impeachment of Henry Dundas, Lord Melville, for irregular financial dealings as Treasurer of the navy, begun by Samuel Whitbread. Alexander Trotter (1750-1830) was Paymaster to the Navy in 1805, and so involved with the corruption, but was given immunity in return for testifying.
