Adapted from a broadside published by J. Quick: The manager's last kick, or The distruction of the boroughmongers. "A crude, confused, and complicated design, the characters unrecognizable. William IV, riding 'The Good Old Grey'and accompanied by his Ministers, notably Brougham using the Mace as a broom, chases boroughmongers who fall head first into a pit (right), the 'Slough of Despond'. Russell, saying 'What do you think of my Purge now' , leads the "Grey", which snorts 'Reform'. The King: 'Begone you sad Rogues you have sat here long enough!!!' The ground on which they stand is 'Magna Charter'. The most conspicuous "Boroughmonger" is Sir R. Wilson in uniform with a kettle labelled 'A present from Southwk' tied to his coat-tail; he holds two papers: 'Lies against Bonaparte' and 'Queen's Trial'. Others include Wetherell saying 'I'm Again for Boroughbridge', Peel saying 'I'm Going to Tamworth'. Hunt's top-booted legs protrude from a blacking jar labelled 'Matchless for Impudence and Blacking!!!'. The members for Westminster try to save themselves, Hobhouse by clinging to the top of the pit, inscribed 'Westminster', Burdett by clinging to Hobhouse's coat-tails; in the latter's pockets are 'Catholic Bill' and 'Corn Bill'; he says: 'Holdfast Cam we are sure to get in again'. Other boroughs named, each with its doomed M.P. (represented usually by legs in air) are 'Newark: His Grace's Seat'; 'Newry', 'Penryn', 'Gatton', 'Old Sarum', 'Sudbury', 'Newport', 'Alderbury' [twice], 'Hedon', 'Corfe Castle'. O'Connell, waist-deep near 'New Sarum', holds up his arms to the Westminster M.P.'s, shouting, 'I'll join you Boys let's have a Union'. John Bull (left), obese and jolly, watches the doomed anti-Reformers, waving his hat and shouting 'Huzza! well done William!' Behind (right) is the façade of Bethlehem Hospital (Bedlam) with a lunatic waving from each window: 'No Reform'; 'Corruption for ever'; one of them is Wellington saying 'Its a Mistake'. They are 'The Bedlamites'. Below are the verses of a street poet and "A Dialogue between John Bull and his Friend, Concerning the Row at the King's Theatre . . .". The naive text is applicable to the election of 1831, not to that of 1832, but such street papers are without accuracy. The seventh of eight verses, contrasting William IV with George IV: William is a Sailor bold sir, And on the waves he has often roll'd, sir, He wants no Marquesses wives or Daughters, To spend his time at Virginea waters, He goes to neither Parks or Races, A slobbering ladies' pretty faces, He guides the helm and keeps his station, And knows what is wanted through the nation."--British Museum online catalogue
