Odd Fellows from Downing Street John Bull in conversation with representatives from the Society of Odd fellows in Bird Cage Walk. The Odd Fellows stand in a group on the left. Their leader explains to John Bull: "You must now Mr Bull we are a society of Odd Fellows who had a lodge in Downing Street and were robbd of our cash and accounts not withstanding we met at the Kings Head and so near the Treasury too - is not it very hard - however we have now left Downing Street intirely!" John Bull, a very large man in cocked hat, bob-wig and glasses, replies: "All I have to say my good Friends is this - I am very sorry for you but I must own I am of opinion is some more Odd Fellows of Downing Street were to quit there [sic] situations it would be very much to my advantage." 4 Jun 1808
