Lord North stands on two blocks astride a stream carrying members of parliament which flows from the door of Westminster Hall. Engraving, 1774.

Satire on the elections of 1774 in which Lord North retained his majority sending his contender, John Wilkes, back to his seat in Middlesex. The blocks on which North stands are labelled 'tyranny' and 'venality'; in his right hand are three papers inscribed 'places; pensions; lottery tickets', in his left a flaming torch inscribed 'America'. Britannia holds out a paper inscribed 'those that should have been my preservers have been my destroyers'; John Wilkes stands to the right in his Lord Mayor's gown and chain with the promise 'I'll stem the stream' as he sweeps the floating members down stream with a broom
