round, with tears in her eyes, to an elderly woman, whose gesture
indicates the necessity of the ceremony ; the rest of the company
plainly evince, by their motions and grimaces, their opinion of the
fair one. A little retired behind may be seen a youth (probably
the lover) weeping: a fiddler and another man stand at the foot
of the stairs. A boy removing a form, and a man seated on the
ssoor, with a jug in his hand, are in front. A well-finished picture.

Now in the collection of John Newington Hughs, Esq.
136. The Effects of Intemperance, represented by a group
of seven figures, assembled on the steps of the entrance to a
house. The principal person is a stout female, wearing a red
jacket bordered with fur and a white hood; she appears to be
overcome by excess, and is seated asleep, with her pipe falling
from her relaxed hand; at the same time a young urchin is
robbing her of a pouch ; before her is a girl in a blue jacket and
yellow skirt, kneeling, and offering a glass of wine to a gray
parrot. On the further side of these are two boys and a girl;
one of the former holds a black and white cat, to which the latter
is giving some pye; the other boy is casting some roses to a
pig. On the opposite side, and remote from the front, is seen
the father of the family, sitting in an arbour with a courtesan.
Painted in a most masterly and spirited manner.
2 ft. 6 in. by 3ft. 7 in.—C.
Imported by Mr. Chaplin, from Amsterdam, 1829, and sold in the
collection of Thomas Emmerson, Esq. in 1832, for 195 gs.
137. Marauders attacking and pillaging Peasants. The
subject is composed of thirteen figures, grouped on the fore-
ground of a landscape, and exhibits a scene of violence and
terror, strikingly natural and affecting. In the centre is a
monk on his knees, bending with extended arms over a pros-
trate priest, and also protecting a woman and child: on the
right of these are two robbers insulting a woman, and on the
