- Abstract:
- "The interior of a panelled room: ten men holding hands dance in a circle to the tune of a bag-pipe played by Bute (l.) wearing a kilt and appearing from behind a curtain. The king watches with pleased amusement from behind a door (r.). The dancers are trampling on papers and state documents. Lord North, trampling on papers inscribed "National Debt" and "Grievances", is between Lord Bathurst in his Chancellor's robes but wearing a hat, and Lord Barrington in a military coat under whose feet are "Dispatches from War Office"; under Bathurst's foot is a paper, "Appeals, Decrees". Next him (r.) is a youthful-looking minister stepping on a paper inscribed "French Grammar" to show that he is Suffolk, Secretary of State, pilloried for his ignorance of French, see BMSat 4875, 4876. His neighbour is only partly visible. Next comes a military officer trampling on a paper inscribed "Middlesex Election" to show that he is Colonel Luttrell. On Luttrell's r., and the central figure of the design, is Lord Mansfield wearing tartan stockings to show that he is a Scot and dancing upon "Magna Charta". On his right. is an unidentified figure, then a minister treading on papers inscribed "Whitfield Hymns" to show (not very consistently) that he is Lord Dartmouth, whose strong attachment to the Methodists earned the nickname of the Psalm-singer. He had succeeded Hillsborough as Secretary of State for the Colonies on 14 Aug. 1772. Between him and Barrington stands Sandwich, wearing a sailor's trousers and standing on "The Petition of the Navy Captains". Bute stands on a paper "To Miss Vansittar[t]". Other papers on the ground are "The Remonstr[ance of the City]" and "Petition of the East India Comp"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "At each side of a table are seated figures with the heads and forms of grotesque monsters or animals. The bull-faced Sir Fletcher Norton (the Speaker) presides; in one hand is a scourge, in the other a staff to which are attached bags of money and a coronet. He says: "He that dares be Virtuous shall be punish'd, but Ye my Friends shall be rewarded". Bute and Grafton are hovering above as imps. The table is emerging from flames and is decorated with 'The Coffin of Liberty'. Two demons act as clerks at the head of the table in front of the Speaker."--British Museum online catalogue and "From the 'Oxford Magazine', vi. 219. As usual in the series the explanatory text is in the form of a letter to the Editor, showing that the design represents "the extraordinary appearance the present ministerial wretches will make in the next world ... I have erred on the favourable side; for it is impossible for many of them to assume any shape or character that is not less horrible than their own." The only two who can be identified are North, on the Speaker's right, as a dog wearing a ribbon and star, and Lord Holland as a fox clasping a number of money-bags. For the unpopularity of the House of Commons cf. also British Museum Satires Nos. 4850, 4889, 4893, 4944, 4970."--British Museum online catalogue, Curator's comments
