Abstract: The heads of Burke, North, and Fox lie on a long table, in front of which are executioner's block and axe, with the words "pro bono publico" above them. Behind the table sits Thurlow wearing judge's robes, asking the House of Lords to approve the display of the heads at Temple Bar (last done after the defeat of the Jacobite Rebellion in 1746).
