An enraged elephant with Lord North's face runs along Leadenhall Street chased by a group of opponents of the India Bill. They are led by the King who prods the elephant's hind leg with a spiked stick. On his left hand, and on the extreme right of the design, walks Thurlow, on whose advice the king had informed the peers through Temple of his desire for opposition to the Bill. On the king's right is a judge, probably Lord Camden, who spoke vehemently against the Bill. Next is Dundas, the Lord Advocate of Scotland, also in legal robes, who opposed the Bill as "highly unconstitutional". Behind Camden is Lord Shelburne blowing a horn although he had in fact abstained from voting. Behind the king, and waving his hat, is Lord Mahon, who vehemently opposed the Bill. Behind Thurlow is the Duke of Richmond. The unseated Fox, falling head downwards, is about to hit the "East India Bill" which lies on the pavement, on which a dog is urinating. On the left, Burke, having dropped the elephant's rope and trumpet, runs away tripping over a large bundle, "Plans of Oeconomy." In the background, Pitt shores up the facade of the India House with a large beam.
