A satire on the proceedings of 11 April, the thirteenth day of the trial, and the last day of the first, or Benares Charge. One of the alleged insults offered to the Rajah of Benares after his arrest was the taking away of his hookah.
A design divided by a vertical line on one side of which is Burke (right) declaiming with raised arms and downcast head; on the other (left) a scene in India illustrating his speech. An Indian, Chait Singh, looks over a high stone wall whose parapet is decorated with plants in vases, saying, "Gadzooker He has taken my Hooker". On the ground beneath the wall are two hookahs puffing out smoke, and the leg of a seated soldier visible at right. Burke, facing right, exclaims, "Guilty of not suffering him to smoke for the space of two Days." Cf. George.
