Depicts two Bostonians forcing a tarred and feathered man, with a noose around his neck, to drink from a large teapot. It refers to the similar treatment of John Malcolm, a British customs official, on January 27, 1774. The American man holding the teapot wears a hat with "45" on it, a patriotic symbol referring to the John Wilkes case of 1763. The other American, large bow in his hat indicates his membership in the Sons of Liberty.
