Four men, much caricatured and with large heads, writing at a round table, look up terrified at Liston, as Paul Pry, who enters (left) with a paper spiked on his umbrella: The Poll Calvert Wilson Polhill. Wearing his hat, and bending forward, he addresses them with raised forefinger: Just drop'd in with the Poll. Egad Mr Baccabox they are too much for you, if I were you, I'd throw snuff in their Eyes (by the by) the people are all snuffy with Calverts Strong beer. The candidate, Polhill, sits on the extreme right; he has dropped a still-smoking pipe and exclaims: I must Pol up hill before my Pipe's put out, I'll stand to the last pinch, and part with every quid! Smoake me out! Another says: Confound that fellow! and a man behind Liston (left) exclaims The Devil (in reversed characters). The table is covered with papers: To the Committee; the Home department; Private Comm ... ; Paid for Votes £10 . . . Ink pours from an overturned pot on to a placard on the floor: Vote for Polhill. On the floor is also a paper: For throwing Stones . . . 0-0; Bribe . . . 0-0 . . .  [June 1826]
