George III stands before his throne, face hidden behind a pillar, his sceptre raised over head ready to strike Grenville as his kicks him. Other members of the ministry flee in confusion and terror, some rubbing their posteriors to show that they too have been kicked. A label floats from the King: What! What! bring in the Papists! O you cunning Jesuits you! What you thought I was like little Boney & would turn Turk or anything? ...

Authors of the Catholic Reform Bill, Wellington and Peel are dressed in tall conical caps and tied to the back of chair carried by Eldon. A fat bishop, probably Howley, walks behind, carrying the legs of the chair, as the head of Cumberland with gapping mouth appears behind him. A fat John Bull character looks on the scene from the left foreground. The group is met on the right by an angry Irish ragamuffin wearing a barrister's wig and waving his fist and a shillelagh, suggesting that he is O'Connell
