1782 caricature of Buller by James Gillray entitled "Judge Thumb, or, Patent Sticks for Family Correction: Warranted Lawful!". Judge Thumb, carrying two bundles of sticks, one on his shoulder like the fasces of a Roman magistrate, asks: "Who wants a cure for a rusty wife? Here's your nice family amusement for winter evenings! Who buys here?" Woman screams: "Help! Murder, for God sake, murder!" Husband replies: "Murder, hey? It's law, you bitch: it's not bigger than my thumb!"
