  <dc:title>A Petty Intruder : or the Washer-Womans Remonstrance </dc:title>
  <dc:description>An angry washer-woman remonstrates with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Henry Petty (1780-1863):
"How dare you show your face in my cellar - you little petty intruder - a tax on private brewing - I say it is a tax on female servants - I have lost my place through it, and now I am obliged to do what I can for a living. . - The next thing I suppose will be a Tax on private washing, and I must be obliged to take out a licence for the use of my tub."
Petty replies:
"Don't be in such a passion - it is not my fault, I only did as I was bid". </dc:description>
