- Depiction: The Defeat of the High & Mighty Bailissimo Corbettino and his famed Cecilian Forces on the Plains of St. Martin on Thursday the 3rd day of February 1785 by the Champion of the People and his chosen Band after a smart Skirmish which lasted a considerable time in which many Men were lost on both sides. But their great ally at length losing ground. Desertions took place and notwithstanding their great superiority in Numbers and weight of Metal at the first onset they decreased apace altho often rallied by ablest Men in Command, till at length the Forces gave way in all quarters and they were totally overthrown. This Print is dedicated to the Electors of the City & Liberty of Westminster who have so nobly stood forth and supported their Champion upon this trying occasion by An Independent Elector'.
