"Heading to a printed broadside. The King, on a dais, sits at a table between Eldon and Castlereagh, with Liverpool (?) under the table (from fear). All are terrified at the Bill, a creature, surrounded by clouds, with stick-like limbs, supported on broken crutches and a body formed of a rolled document: 'Bill of Pains and Penalties'. The apparition interrupts a Cabinet meeting, only three Ministers are depicted, others being mentioned; the King departs to Windsor to escape the Ghost, which has addressed them. The thirteenth and sixteenth of nineteen verses: Two crutches supported its figure so drear, Two props almost broken in pieces; And as the wan spectre advanced to them near, They saw one inscribed "Ministerial fear," On the other was, "Royal Caprices." "Ah! see to my heart how fraud-hating Gr--y His vigorous weapon home thrust: Through here the bold sword of a L--nsd--n made way: Noble H--ll--nd struck here with impetuous sway, Uprous'd in a struggle so just."--British Museum online catalogue

"The fat and florid Lady Buckinghamshire, seated at the head of her faro-table, throws up her arms in dismay, turning towards her husband, who enters through a door (left), saying, "The Bank's stole! - we're ruin'd my Lady! - but I'll run to Bow Street & fix the Saddle upon the right horse, my Lady!" She exclaims: "The Bank stole, my Lord? - why I secur'd it in the Housekeepers-room myself! - this comes of admitting Jacobins into the house! - Ah! the Cheats! Seven Hundred gone smack; - without a single Cock of the Cards!" She fills the centre of the design, and is much larger than her husband. Her guests are crowded together on the right. A pretty young woman, Mrs. Concannon, seated on her left, clasps her hands, exclaiming, "Bank stole! - why I had a Gold snuffbox stole last night from my Table in Grafton Street." Lady Archer, on the extreme right, on the nearer side of the table, turns a corvine and angry profile towards Lord Buckinghamshire, saying, "Stole! - bless me why a Lady had her Pocket pick'd at my House last Monday." Opposite her sits Fox, wearing a hat and putting his hand over his mouth, saying, "Zounds! I hope they dont Smoke me." Sheridan looks over his shoulder, saying, "nor me". Behind Fox, Hanger stands in profile to the left, wearing a hat and holding his bludgeon; he says: "O! if they come to the Mount, if I don't tip them Shelalee" (see BMSat 8889). ... The door (left) resembles that of a strongroom, with two heavy locks and three bolts."--British Museum online catalogue
