Richardson (no address given but name was very rare in London) Girardy tried to recover rent from tenant who had told him she was a "lady of the town" when she moved in. Girardy lost, as prostitution is against the public good. Painter often meant house painter but in this case with the connection to Guerres engraver he may have been an artist, but doesn't appear in any lists of artists
