"A large green bag with broken seals, inscribed 'Private Property', stands on the ground filled with large ornate pieces of plate, decorated with crowns and the initials 'C.P.W.' This Ministers are rifling; Eldon places on his head a huge bowl, saying: "This Bowl will be an "heir loom" to my descendants--I have it Scot free and I shall have it inscribed with my Titles and emblazon'd with my Arms--" Canning holds on his head a tea-service, saying, "So help me G-- I should not touch an Iota of the Plate, was I not determined to prevent it falling into the hands of Such Rascals." Castlereagh, smiling, helps himself to an urn, saying: "This Urn will be an addition to my Side Board when I get a Dukedome--Our Master has desired us to divide the Contents of this Green bag--I obey orders--." In the doorway (left) stands John Bull in a smock; he waves his hat to a throng of country people who are running towards him, saying: "Theives! Theives!! Let us protect private property!!!" The country people shout "Stop Theif!!"; "Assist the Q--n"; "Robbers!!"; "Plunderers!!" On the right Sidmouth and a man in court-dress hurry off each with a (green) sack of 'Plunder' on his back; Sidmouth, carrying a tea-urn, says: "Let us make our Escape my L--d its all over with us let us take care of what we have got." The other, carrying a kettle on his head, says: "This is a pretty kettle of Fish that fellow has given the Alarm and we shall be pursued." They walk towards a flaming fire in the foreground, in which is the Devil pointing his trident at the plunderers, and shouting, "Gentlemen I am come for ye." A pendant to this on the left is a newly-made grave: 'The Grave', with skull, bones, pick, and shovel.."--British Museum online catalogue

"The King's head, framed in wig and whiskers, appears above a huge green bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735) which he is holding up in both hands to shake out the contents, five ragamuffins, who fall out head first. Bag and King are supported by the bent backs of Castlereagh (left) and Sidmouth (right), the King's toe resting on a shoulder of each. The bag is inscribed in large letters: 'Respectable Witnesses for the [a large crown is depicted] against the Q--n.' It is labelled: 'To Dr Circular [see British Museum Satires No. 13282], Ld Triangle [see British Museum Satires No. 14135] & C° London.' The King says: "My hopes and prospects, depend, upon the very doubtful, veracity, of these Six Italians!" Castlereagh: "Friend Sid--we must make Barons of these six Italian Allies to make their evidence, appear stronger!" Sidmouth: "Ah! My worthy Colleague, and your Lordship knows, we must dress them up, at the Public expence, for at present, I never see, such Ragged Rascals!" On the ground by Castlereagh are a scourge, and a document: 'Bill of Pains and Penalties' [see British Museum Satires No. 13825]; other papers: 'Secret Service Money £10.000 for each Witness' and 'Queen's Petition to the Lords'. In the background (left) are the masts and sails of a ship. Below the design: 'Dover, Friday, July 7, 1820. This Morning Six of the Italian Allies arrived. The good people of this town flocked to see them. They were escorted by an Austrian Agent, and a Milan Attorney. Such a set of ragged Rascals never were seen before. Such Wretches as go about with dancing dogs and monkeys, white mice, tame snakes, and land-turtles. The Magistrates got a guard of Constables to protect them, for fear the people should fling them into the sea. They were kept guarded till two coaches were brought to put them into. They were then driven off amidst the hisses, cries, and yells, of the men, women, and chrildren [sic], of this humane, loyal, and public-spirited Town. They seemed frightened out of their wits at this honest expression of the feelings of the People. Who is to Pay for bringing over, feeding, cloathing, and Rewarding these Wretches!!!'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Eldon as a street-beggar kneels on both knees on straw placed on paving-stones, wearing a cap resembling those worn by butchers and the rags of a Chancellor's gown over tattered breeches. He supports himself by a staff, and holds out his short powdered wig. Beside him (left) lies an empty and dilapidated bag inscribed The Old Bagg [cf. British Museum Satires No. 12883].

Round his neck is tied a placard reaching below the waist, and inscribed: Pity a poor Old Man out of Place, at the age of 78 [76], and though extremely anxious, for employment, disappointed in, all his expectations of procuring the Same. His pension is only 4.000 P A [cf. British Museum Satires No. 10714] and not a Dinner has been dressed in his house within the memory of man!
