First line of conversation: "Judge T. begins.". A MS. note in the Bodleian Library tract volume, in which this song is found, suggests the author is George Villiers; at least three George Villiers are known to have lived between 1785 and 1790, the period during which all the songs in the tract volume were composed by the same poet. The same MS. note suggests that "H----d" = Hilfield House, but the Victoria County History of Herts, vol. 2, p. 158, says this mansion was built in 1795 by the Hon. George Villiers, brother of the Earl of Clarendon; previously called Sly's Castle - proof needed for Sly's Castle called Hilfield in 1780s
