Men, horses, and (mongrel) dogs in wild but spirited confusion in a forest glade pursue a cow (left); the stag is in the background running in the opposite direction, followed by one man on foot. One horse and rider struggle in a ditch while a second horse, which has kicked off its rider, leaps on top of them. A bald John Gilpin clasps his mount round the neck. In the foreground four men over-weight a two-wheeled cart drawn by a wretched but galloping jade. See British Museum catalogue

A stage coach is drawn by two starved horses across rough terrain. An anxious looking Duke of Portland, the nominal head of the government, is being taught how to drive by Charles Fox who is in control of the reins. Their relationship is undescored by the crests on the side panels of the coach with the fox sitting on ducal coronet. Lord North stands in the basket behind, in place of a footman, watching with anger the proceedings on the box. The front left wheel is broken after going over the "Loan" rock; a larger "Reform Bill" boulder is ahead of the horses and The text below image is a paraphrase of the Duke of Chandos's speech criticizing North's coalition with Fox: "Such was the love of Office of the noble Lord, that finding he would not be permitted to mount the Box, | He had been content to get up behind, vide the Duke of C------. . . s's Speech Morning Chronicle 15th April". This was a speech by Chandos on the Irish Judicature Bill, 14 April, violently attacking the Coalition: "he particularly arraigned the conduct of Lord North, and said that not being able to get again upon the state coach-box, he had been content to get up behind." 'Parl. Hist', xxiii. 755
