Abstract:
On the left, poor emaciated laborers are chained to the ground while above them dangle bread, meat and beer just out of their reach. Behind them a building inscribed 'Poor Law Union'. The ground is inscribed 'Land of the free'. A crowd of people enter a tunnel that above has a sign that reads, 'County Gaol.' In contrast, on the right fat Members of Parliament sit and listen to a speech against Poor Law Reform made by possibly Melborne (William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne) who has a paper inscribed with '£70 000 Per Annum'.

In the aftermath of the crisis of early 1783, the past and future ministers are depicted at a table competing for their share in the government. Foremost among them are Fox and North, seated at the top of the table to the left of the King who offers them a loaf signed "Secretary of State." They both hold on to the loaf signed "Treasury," while Lord Shelburne, seated to the King's right, is now empty-handed. In the lower right corner of the image, two dogs identified as "Pay Office Clerks," attempt to sneak away with bags of money, an allusion to Burke's reinstatement of two clerks accused of malversation before his return to the office of paymaster-general and "George III presides at a rectangular table at which sit past and prospective ministers, grasping at the loaves and fishes which lie on the table. On the left side of the table and on the king's right sit Shelburne and his supporters, on the opposite side sit those who have ousted them. The king sits in an ornate chair; on his right sits Shelburne putting his arm on the shoulder of Dunning, who sits on his other side. Shelburne says "I must submit! - may it prove Poison to them say I". Dunning answers "Never mind my Lord - give them rope enough, and they will hang themselves". The king turns to Fox and North, who sit on his left hand, and says, pointing to the table, "pray help your selves Gentlemen". Fox, who has a fox's head, has seized a loaf in each hand, saying "An't please your Maj------ty I'll have these for me & my friends". The loaf under his left hand is inscribed "Treasury"; North, who sits on Fox's left, says, "hold Charley, that's more then comes to your Share". The other two on the right side of the table are Keppel and Burke. Keppel, who is next North, puts his right hand on a loaf; in his left he holds a fish from whose mouth go lines attached to two other fish and another loaf; he is saying "I'm fond of Sea fish". A naval officer opposite him hugs a loaf and grasps the tail of one of the fish on Keppel's line. He is identified in a contemporary hand as Palliser, but is more probably Lord Howe, who was First Lord of the Admiralty from 29 Jan. 1782 (after Keppel's resignation) till 8 April, when he was replaced by Keppel. He is in "profil perdu" but his figure and a black eyebrow suggest Howe. On Keppel's left, and at the right corner of the table, sits Burke grasping a loaf in his right hand, a fish in his left. He is saying "Rhetorick is of no use here! tis catch that catch can". In the foreground (right), at Burke's side, two dogs laden with money-bags are running off to the right. Over them is inscribe "Pay Office Clerks" and (smaller) "Fulham". On the money-bag of one is "£200.000", on that of the other "£100.000". Burke became paymaster-general under Rockingham, resigned office with Fox on Shelburne's appointment, and was again (on 7 April) to become paymaster. On returning to office he reinstated two clerks, Powell and Bembridge, who had recently been dismissed by Barré for malversation, for which he was attacked in parliament on 24 April and 19 May 1783. 'Parl. Hist', xxiii, pp. 900 ff; Wraxall, 'Memoirs', 1884, iii. 77-86. [Possibly the dogs were added in a later issue of the print, as they seem to refer to the scandal over Powell and Bembridge. Powell committed suicide, Bembridge was tried and sentenced.] Opposite Burke, at the near left corner of the table, sits Conway, the Commander-in-Chief, in general's uniform, grasping a fish in one hand, a lobster in the other. He is saying, "I fear they'll not leave me one poor lobster". He had disappointed Fox by not resigning on Shelburne's appointment, he did not however lose office till after the dissolution of Parliament in 1784, when he resigned. In the centre of the table are three unclaimed loaves, the one nearest the king is inscribed "Secretary of State".--British Museum online catalogue

"An engraving, which is in some respects the sequel to "The Addressers", British Museum Satires No. 4273, and "The Battle of Cornhill", British Museum Satires No. 4274, showing a party of workmen and tradesmen assembled in a room of the Merchant Seamen's Office, which was over the Royal Exchange. They are grouped about a large table, on which lies a long scroll or address. The president is a butcher, with a naked knife hi his hand; a tray at his feet contains a shoulder of mutton; doubling his fist, he cries: -- "I shall stick my Knife in Magna Charta, & cut up the Carcase of the Sill of Rights." A lean, hungry -looking man, sits grinning behind the butcher; next to the sitter stands a porter who declares: -- "D--mn his swivel Eyes I wish he may sink under his load." This refers to the marked squint of John Wilkes, who was at this time in prison and strongly opposed to the Court; see "John Wilkes Elected Knight of the Shire", British Museum Satires No. 4189, and "The Scotch Victory. (A.)", British Museum Satires No. 4196. A Dutchman, probably Mr. Muilmann, see "The Addressers", British Museum Satires No. 4273, declares: -- " Ah ! de gross Scrip for Mynheer too"; this is in reply to a Jew who exclaims: -- " Oh for a large portion of Scrip.", i.e. probably subscription scrip to Government loans, which was very profitable to the lenders, and often alleged to be used as a bribe by the ministry; see "The Battle of Cornhill", British Museum Satires No. 4274, and "Frontispiece to the Middlesex Petition", British Museum Satires No. 4289. A barber, with a shaving dish and napkin under one of his arms, and holding a wig in one hand, stands before the scroll, signing his name to it; he says: -- "I've got an order for a new Wig, only for signing my Name." A gaunt Scotch pedlar, with a bale at his back, and carrying a wand, declares: -- "Saumy mun sign too, gin it be to the Deel, for my gued laird's sake", i.e. for the sake of the Earl of Bute, the reputed patron of Scotchmen, see "We are all a comeing", British Museum Satires No. 3823. A baker, with a basket of bread on his shoulders, approaches the table and says: -- "Brother Merchants follow my example & you'll never want Bread." A meagre chimney-sweep, clad in sooty garments, advances to the table and remarks: -- "Who knows but I may be appointed to a Chimney at Court.""--British Museum catalogue
