- "Two designs. [1] Scene outside the Queen's house (left) in Portman Street. Four men in court-dress hurry across the street from the door assailed by the mob. In front is Wilberforce (right) holding a 'Petition to the Queen'; he exclaims "Oh! Dear! Saints never were so served before." From the other three (Stuart-Wortley, Bankes, and Sir T. Acland) ascend the words "These are aw-full times as the Scot's man said" [ ? the 'Scotsman', a conspicuously Queenite paper]. In the foreground (left) a man, saying "There he goes Dr Cantwell," and a boy spit copiously at them. The crowd: "Hiss! hiss"; "No Cantwell"; "out out"; "Spit on 'em." Brougham stands in the doorway; Denman behind him; he says "What quantities of rabbid saline!!" The Queen stands on a balcony, the base of which is 'a Good Foundation--(ie) Innocence--'. She says "No Tricks, you faithful representitaves [sic] of the people." [2] A corner of the House of Commons with the Speaker (Manners-Sutton) in the Chair (right), calling "Order! Order!" Beside the table and on the Speaker's right a member stands shouting "Privilege! Privilege." Behind is a group of members, freely sketched. One man looks down from the gallery."--British Museum catalogue.
