Scene VI: Twang questions the woman who arrived with the Quaker and says: "What, come to a prison without money in your pocket?
Twang asks Mordecai to pay him ten shillings for tearing his black coat and six and eight pence for damaging his neck cloth.
Justice Hardhead, Ezekiel Prim, Abraham (the Quaker), the four watchmen, and two men, their friends, Strip, Bounce and others are in attendance.
Justice Hardhead is next before Sir Humphry and belligerently complains that as someone who makes the laws he should be entitled to break them.
Sir Humphry thinks he must still be drunk to say such things and tells Twang to take him away and let him sleep it off.
The play reveals the anti-semitic and mysogenistic views of the period and how class influences the treatment of the prisoners regardless of their crimes.
