Authors of the Catholic Reform Bill, Wellington and Peel are dressed in tall conical caps and tied to the back of chair carried by Eldon. A fat bishop, probably Howley, walks behind, carrying the legs of the chair, as the head of Cumberland with gapping mouth appears behind him. A fat John Bull character looks on the scene from the left foreground. The group is met on the right by an angry Irish ragamuffin wearing a barrister's wig and waving his fist and a shillelagh, suggesting that he is O'Connell
