On the right is a smoke house where meats and the names of new peers hang from R. Hooks on which they ought to be hang'd'. The figure on the lower right corner, John Carteret (1690-1763), is feeding the biggest of four pigs - named Sussex - with materials for ye Compost and specially prepared food inscribed with titles in the Treasury and other offices. The first pig's excrement is labelled as paymaster, which is then eaten by a second pig, named Worcester'. The third pig, also named Worcester, is eating excrement titled cofferer'.
