Cartoon, The Throne Invaded -- an incident in the British parliament during the debate over the Irish Church Bill, when a Dean of the Church of England decided to protest or make a mockery of the proceedings by sitting on the throne of state. The Irish Church Act of 1869 was designed to put an end to the Establishment of the Anglican Church in Ireland, and thereby begin to dismantle the Protestant Ascendancy there.
