"A fight between the four barristers: Brougham and Denman, without shields, wield papers inscribed respectively 'Truth' and 'Justice'. The other two, with shields and a heavy spear, are worsted; at their feet lie Eldon, and (according to the text) Lauderdale and Redesdale (the most aggressive of the peers during the proceedings). In the background (left), among clouds of smoke, the Ministerial forces, with a tattered banner inscribed 'Pains . . Penalties', are retreating to the left. A cheering crowd advances from the right.

A mock coat of arms, perhaps for George IV, that possibly served as the tailpiece or other illustration to a verse-satire on the trial of Queen Caroline. The shield is vase-shaped and includes a mug of beer at center, tents and cannons on either side of the mug, a settee below the mug, three ships at top, scales of justice with "vice" outweighing "virtue" below the ships, and a ram at bottom. Surmounting the shield is a donkey with a owl on its back, the owl wearing a tall conical hat; the donkey stands upon a "log", a volume with "bill" on its spine, a chess board, playing cards, sheets of paper labeled "address", and a cross above which "liturgy petition" is written. Plants are seen on either side of shield; below the shield are banners in which the Latin phrases "furiis in censa feror" and "vir tutis sub umbra viti um" are written
