The coffin, its pall inscribed 'The \ Party \ Supported by Corresponding Citizens', is the centre of a procession, preceded (right) by four ragged Citizens each playing a marrow-bone and cleaver: 'Marrowbones and Cleavers by Corresponding Citizens'. Behind them walks the Duke of Norfolk, holding up a standard: 'Majesty of the People'; on its summit perches a bird: 'The Standard Bearer in Half Mourning with the Chicken [M. A. Taylor, see BMSat 6777] chaunting the Elegy'. His Earl-Marshal's baton projects from his coat-pocket.  Next, in a surplice, hold ing an open book, 'Right of Man' [see BMSat 7867, &amp;c] walks 'Parson H-----e T-----e [Horne Tooke] reading the Service'.  The coffin is supported by three plebeian pall-bearers wearing long gowns edged with tricolour, and mourning noisily, who walk beside the coffin; the legs of three others are seen beneath it. Behind it are the 'Chief Mourners': Fox (weeping) and Sheridan are the first pair; next is Derby, very short, beside the tall Bedford. Erskine and Lauderdale walk together, followed by Stanhope on the extreme left. All the mourners wear bonnets-rouges with mourning-scarves.
<p><br>The coffin is surmounted by a pile of emblems, 'Regalia of the Deceased', in the form of an animal 'couchant', on a large book: 'Kentish-Oath's'. On this is a smaller book, 'Toasts and Sentiments'. A pile of 'Old Wigs' forms the creature's shoulders and fore-paws; the hind-quarters are a bundle of 'worn out Liberty Caps'. The head is a skull inscribed 'Boney-parte'; under its jaw is thrust a long dagger; it wears a cap of 'Libert[y]'. The pall, bordered with tricolour, has three side-panels, and one, 'Injusti[ce]', partly visible, in front; each of the three has a bonnet-rouge; beneath it, representing [1] 'Plunder' are crossed muskets, [2] 'Murder' with crossed daggers, and [3] '[P]erjury' with spears.  30 October 1798
