This English lay is shown in Sind Type Foundy: Type Specimen (as in 1999). It is an early style of lay, as the capitals are placed in the top rows, rather than the bottom ones. Note also the k in the bottom row of the upper case bay. There is no . or ; shown in the lay, but there are appropriate empty boxes, which presumably could be used if required. The -- represents an em rule, the † a single dagger and the ‡ a double dagger.
The empty case configuration is the Double Case of Southward 1882, etc. with seven rows of equal sized boxes in the upper case bay.
