John Bull sits on a chair frantic with anger. He is reading from
an ‘Extraordinary Red Book’. He shouts, “Oh!!-Monstrous!!!-that
twenty six State Cormorants should swallow annually an aggregate
sum: under the name of salaries independent of the indefinable
emoluments which result from other sources of gain amounting to-£453,692.
Can we any longer wonder that the love of Place in these men should
supersede every more exalted consideration”. Behind
John Bull, sit ministerial members in close rows. One stands holding
a scroll whose coiled end is under John Bulls chair. It is a ‘list
of Placemen pensions and sinecures’.
