"Printed by C. Motte 70, St Martins Lane. Published by Thos McLean 26 Haymarket Aug 31st 1831. Lithograph
A carriage with four horses stands beside a signpost, the two postilions on the ground. Two servants from the rumble stand, one at the horse's heads (l.), the other supporting a postilion; he says "I say Jim, what shall we do with there ere Drunken fellers?" The other: "Oh! we may bundle them inside. As for our Masters, they must either go in the Rumble or ride the Horses", The 'Masters' are inspecting a signpost with the aid of one of the carriage-lamps: Plunket, Chancellor of Ireland, supports Brougham on his shoulders, and asks: "Can you see any thing?" Brougham, holding the lamp, answers "O yes! I can see London". The signpost points (r.) to Windsor, (l.) to London.
The print is annotated 'Brougham and Plunket returning from Lord Seftons' (a crony of Brougham), but they are returning from Windsor, and the title shows that the King's ale has been too potent."
