A bishop (right), wearing apron and shovel-hat, brandy-faced and scowling, walks to the right, using a cane. Dodging behind are Wellington and Peel as ragged pickpockets. The Duke wears a cap, a dilapidated military coat, and old white trousers; twitching a handkerchief from the bishop's coat-tail pocket he says: 'I say Bob-I'll have a dash at the Parsons now.' Peel, dressed as the "Cad" of BM Satires No. 15734, &c, says: 'Odd Rat 'em-I'm afeard on 'em.' The bishop claps his hand over his breeches pocket and scowls; he says: 'Two very suspicious looking fellows-dodging me about-I hope they are not going to pick my pocket.'"--British Museum online catalogue and A bishop wearing an apron walks to the right.
