- Abstract:
- William Petty, Lord Shelburne, invites two gentlemen into a room to see "A pantomimical performance now exhibiting in the cabinet at St. Ja--ss [i.e., St. James's]." On a platform in front of them, Punch with the face of the Duke of Portland performs moves controlled by Lord North and Charles Fox who, from behind a screen in the back, pull strings attached to Punch's toes. A devil points at Portland while a demonic looking cherub with horns playing a trumpet. On the ledge above the entrance is a bust of George III who looks complacently at an image nailed to the wall in which Lord North is dancing with a fox and an Harlequin

- Abstract:
- Heads of the members of the new ministry stand on wig blocks in a barber's shop. The barber washes his hands in a bowl attached to a double stand with the bewildered looking head of Lord North and the happily smiling one of Charles Fox on it. Behind them stand blocks with the heads of the Duke of Portland, Lords Cavendish, Stormont (David Murray), Carlisle, and Admiral Keppel. Samuel House, a well known Fox supporter, and a plebeian politician, is seated, with his tankard in his hand, in a chair placed next to Keppel's head. The head of Burke behind him wears an unhappy expression, perhaps at the distance between him and the other cabinet members. Behind the barber on the floor lie the discarded heads of former ministers, the Duke of Grafton, Lord Shelburne, and Dundas. Above on the wall are mirror images of Charles I and Cromwell, ready to embrace each other. "A new Map of Great Britain and Ireland" above the fireplace is torn between Ireland and the British Isle on which the name 'England' is conspicously absent below Scotland and Wales
