In spite of us virtue has the controul the heads new revived

A burlesqued coat of arms relating to Tierney's re-election for Southwark on his appointment to the Board of Control. The title is the motto on two scrolls forming the base of the design. Between the scrolls is a portrait head in profile to the right., wearing a hat, identified as "Faulkener". He says: "Master Brown-jaws are you awake Tierney,s Got the Controul." The shield is surmounted by bull's horns, supporting a baron's coronet, on which rests a portrait head in profile to the right., of a man wearing a round hat (Allen, Rope Maker). Behind these objects and extending beyond them is a man with the body of a cask (Brown, Pipe Maker) from which project long-stemmed tobacco-pipes. He squats with his feet on the upper edge of the shield, and holds in each hand the long ass's ears of the supporters. These are asses with human heads: the dexter supporter wears a sword; slung from the shoulder the sinister supporter is a brief-bag containing a "Writ of Error". Brown says: "My Lord I am awake. We're done over, last time had the Treasury, now he has got all India agst us, all we can do is to Har-Ass him, my Ld you knock him down, I'll smoke him, we're not Able to find such a Speck among his friends as we have got, you see my Ld I have got fast hold of our Ass-o-ci-ates." The dexter supporter (Abel Clifton) answers: "I am Able to say We are done over Mr Brownjaws, the Controul mercy on us!" The other (H. S. Speck) says: "I am afraid there will not be a Speck Scrutiny or Petition this Election the India House is a great thing." On the shield: dexter chief, the bust of a man wearing Light Horse uniform faces a depressed-looking man with feathered wings (sinister chief). Between them is the head, full face, of a smiling barrister. They are Christopher Dunkin, Henry Pigeon, and Sir Thomas Turton. Below the design: "This Plate is most respectfully addressed to the \ Independent Electors of the Borough of Southwark, \ By their most Obedt \ & very Humble Sert \ An Elector."
