To the propriety of _Hogarth's_ having introduced a scene of riot within _King's Coffee-house_, the following quotation from _The Weekly Miscellany_ for _June_ 9, 1739, bears sufficient testimony: "_Monday_ Mrs. _Mary King_ of _Covent-Garden_ was brought up to the King's Bench Bar at _Westminster_, and received the following sentence, for keeping a disorderly house; viz. to pay a fine of £.200, to suffer three months imprisonment, to find security for her good behaviour for three years, and to remain in prison till the fine be paid." As it was impossible she could carry on her former business, as soon as the time of her imprisonment was ended, she retired with her savings, built three houses on _Haverstock_ hill, near _Hampstead_, and died in one of them, _September_ 1747. Her own mansion was afterwards the last residence of the celebrated _Nancy Dawson_;[2] and the three together are still distinguished by the appellation of _Moll King's Row_. Perhaps the use of the mirror in reversing objects was not yet understood by our engravers, for in _Hogarth's_ painting the late Mr. _West's_ house (now _Lowe's_ Hotel) is properly situated on the left of _Covent-garden_ church. In the print it appears on the contrary side. The _Crying Boy_ in _Noon_ was sketched by _Hogarth_ from a picture by _N. Poussin_ of the Rape of the _Sabines_, at Mr. _Hoare's_ at _Stourhead_. The school boy's kite lodged on the roof of a building, was introduced only to break the disagreeable uniformity of a wall.
