- Lord North, Charles Fox and Edmund Burke take over the "Committe [sic] Room" of the East India Company. Burke, saying, "I will direct ye," pushes and boots out the door the Directors while Fox, standing in the middle of the room, excretes on the Company's charters. The satisfied-looking North stands next to Fox, his pocket overflowing with notes for large sums of money and stock. Behind them is a long table and the vacated "President's chair." In the corner to the left stand two crates filled with coins and signed "dollars," a bag of rupees and another one containing "a lack" [i.e., lakh, or one hundred thousand]. More coins are spilled on the floor in front of them

- Abstract:
- Lord North balances smugly on his left foot atop the beam of a pair of scales tipping the balance in favor of a very obese Charles Fox. Fox laughs at Lord Shelburne who remains suspended on the other scale, unable to bring it down despite stamping his feet. He is being enveloped by a cloud of gas labelled "anathema" being excreted by North. Above to the left, George III, blindfolded with a tartan handkerchief, with the crown suspended above his head, reaches out from a cloud to place an enourmous wig on North's head

- Abstract:
- An air balloon inscribed, "America," floats above a group of spectators who include, on the left, a Spaniard and a Frenchman, tied together with a chain and padlock and, on the right, a Dutchman with little devils climbing out of his pocket. Between them stands Franklin. In the background, Charles Fox and Lord North dance merrily to a tune played by the devil who is identified as 'Director general.' Next to them, a number of people vomit under a heavy block inscribed, "Opression taxes," on which stands the gallows with the corpses of 'trade,' 'wealth,' and 'liberty' hanging from it. In the balloon's basket are Washington, with two faces, stretching his arms towards the ghost of Cromwell, and Silas Deane, shaking at the sight of the ghost of "John the Painter" (James Aitken). Numbered figures are identified by references above the image

- Abstract:
- Charles Fox, with a fox's head in a wig, tilts to one side a wheelbarrow in which Lord Shelburne (William Petty) lies on his back, his arms and legs uncomfortably outstretched. Above them, Lord North as Boreas among the clouds, directs a strong blast on Shelburne's face. The text below the title, "The Devil can't Stand against A Double force. Vide the Votes of H: C: on ye. 18. [i.e., 17th] of Feby 1783," refers to the first of the two votes that, following the new coalition between Fox and North, led to Shelburne's resignation on February 24, 1783
