Title	The Fifth Clause
Date	23 April 1805
Description	A man confronts his servant. Both stand in profile, with their hands on their hips. The master, standing on the right and wearing a bob wig and top boots, addresses the servant: "And now Mr Old, and faithful servant - if I was to kick you out of the house dont you think I shoud [sic] be doing justice to myself and the country at large." The servant, on the right, is wearing a broad-brimmed hat and buckled shoes. He replies: "You should recollect what is due to an old and faithful servant. You say I have made free with your beer - I own I have frequently lent my neighbour Giles the key of your cellar and have often drunk ale with him, but as he had ale of his own at the time, I cannot positively say whether I drank your ale or not - and as to that charge of robbing the Hen roost - I dont choose to make any reply to that, as by the fifth clause I am not bound to incriminate myself."
