Summary

Political cartoon. The entrepreneur Charles Dingley stands for Parliament against radical John Wilkes. In the background is Dingley's sawmill at Limehouse (the first in England, but which was smashed by a mob of sawyers for interfering with their livelihood). Dingley is caricatured as sawing through the traditional rights of Englishmen.
