Cartoon, The Famous Stalking Horse Non-Intrusion
Add to album

This cartoon is entitled 'The Famous Stalking Horse Non-Intrusion'. It was possibly drawn by an Edinburgh artist and caricaturist, Benjamin Crombie and is one of a series of cartoons on the disputes between the Church of Scotland and the government.

The cartoon refers to the stance of those within the Church of Scotland opposing the intrusion of the State into church affairs.

The greatest in a succession of splits to affect the Church of Scotland came on 18 May 1843, when around 470 ministers walked out of the General Assembly over the question of who should appoint ministers and the respective rights of Church and State.
