Lord Winchelsea, a zealous anti-Catholic, leads the party. The Duke of Cumberland is one of the bearers, and Prince George runs behind him to enjoy the fun. The bearers behind the effigy are Lords Sidmouth and Eldon, the latter looking very considerably fuddled. Lord Stanhope follows close behind as frisky as on the former occasion, when ordered by the policeman to make less noise. The Duke of Richmond stretches out his arms in the background, as if he were joining in a general shout of mirth, and the Duke of Newcastle brings up the rear.'

1834. Lithograph. 280mm by 380mm (sheet). The trigemini fratres' of the contending parties of Whig and Tory are here seen in active combat; three Whig chancellors opposed to three Tory chancellors. As Livy says that there was a doubt which of the two sets of heroes were Romans and which were Albani, we Mill not attempt to fix the characters of the present parties, that is to say, we will not determine who are the Horatii, who the Curiatii.
