- Abstract:
- "Heading to a broadside printed in two columns. In a coop (right) are cocks and hens with human heads, the foreign witnesses against Queen Caroline. Sidmouth empties coins from a large green bag into their feeding trough, resting one foot on an apothecary's pestle and mortar. On the extreme left is a countryman in a smock who hands a letter to Castlereagh, saying: "Your Servent Sirs, I be com'd from a great fat Gentleman at W--d--r who wishes to know whether your Foreign Brood feeds well and if they are likely to pay for their keeping and he hopes, you'll keep a strict Eye over 'em and not let 'em take Flight as he understands they are very shy--and he says you shou'd look to their Plumage as he dont know but they may soon be made a Show of." Castlereagh, who holds a scourge, answers: "They thrive so fast they'll soon be fit for use--The Napoleons are more fattening than Caroline Rice but I'm rather afraid of that Rastellian Capon he seems to wish to peck his way out and be off--I'm afraid he's drank too much from the Po-Well as the water at present is rather Stagnated and now he's in good condition the Milan Springs [see British Museum Satires No. 13755, &c.] must be more palatable." Liverpool stands with a hand on Castlereagh's shoulder, silently holding a large purse inscribed 'Treasury Grain'. His back is to Sidmouth, who says: "True good C--r--gh I do declare they have Molted well already what a wonderful change--& if Brougham dont clip their Wings they'll amply repay us for our trouble for they can (according to the Old Proverb) Lie as fast as a Cock pecks Barley." Majocchi looks out through the bars, saying: "I am Cock of the Walk. If you wish more to know I'm the Infamous Segnior Non mi Ri cor do" [see British Museum Satires No. 13827]. Louise Demont looks up pertly: "Once Femme De Chambre To the Queen Now I support Sids Bag of Green [see British Museum Satires No. 13735] Doodle doo." Rastelli: "I think I've had too much good living--and as I've a great weight in my Chest a Complain [sic] incidental to Cotton Yard I'll take the earliest opportunity of leaving the Coop-- besides who knows but that Phisicians Brougham and Co. might prescribe Rue and other obnoxious drugs as a remedy for the Complain." ...."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- Lord Eldon (in gown and wig) and George IV (wearing the "Green Bag" of evidence against the Queen) ride on a crocodile whose head is labeled "Deception"; both Eldon and the crocodile have tears pouring from their eyes. The blindfolded figure of Justice is caught in the jaws of the crocodile, her sword sent flying but her scale still clutched in her left hand. At the feet of the crocodile, baby crocodiles emerge out of eggs with labels such as “Disgrace,” “Blood sucker,” and “Quack"; they bear the likenesses of government officials, including Liverpool, Castlereagh, Leach, and Sidmouth, as well as of the witness Majocchi. Eldon carries a scepter inscribed “Oppression” in one hand, and a document that reads “Pains and Penalties” in the other; both have been struck by lightning from ominous thunderclouds, breaking the scepter and setting the scroll (and Eldon's wig) on fire. In the top left corner stands Queen Caroline in the light of an eye in the sky; a soldier stands in front of Caroline wielding his bayonet and rifle, claiming “Justice and Innocence shall be protected.” A man with a sword stands on the left edge of the design, calling out to an army (of public opinion?) that must be advancing on the scene; he says "Steady boys - Firmness and Truth - Caroline and Virtue forever.”
