Arms of the boroughmongers, the Charles Street gang
[London] : [William Strange], [ca. 1834]
Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
A burlesque of the Royal Arms with the addition of a fesse-point in which is a mitre, surmounted by a crown. The supporters are, dexter, a bloated angry bishop with a lion's tail, and, sinister, Wellington, a sword in his hand replacing the unicorn's horn; they stand on the motto 'Might Makes Right'. The oval shield is bordered by a heavy padlocked chain. In the first and third quarters are (tithe) pigs in place of leopards. The Lion Rampant in the second quarter has Cumberland's head; it grabs the crown surmounting the mitre. The Irish harp in the third quarter is bordered by a skeleton and has broken strings. The lion of the crest also has the head of Cumberland, crowned. Behind the motto are thorn-branches.
