"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
