Summary:
Edmund Burke, as a Jesuit, and Lord North kneel praying in front of a gallows from which hangs the body of Charles Fox with a label "East India Bill" issuing from his pocket. The comment made by one of the spectators standing in the background and the title of the print refer to the incident in which a bag thought to contain poison (in the form of Euphorbium and Capsicum powder) was thrown in Fox's face.
