English: SUMMARY: Charles Fox fleeing the House of Commons in terror, accompanied by a fierce greyhound wearing a collar marked "Opposition Grey-hound". A small animal with the head of M.A. Taylor runs behind. In the background, the Opposition benches with members of the Opposition eating papers marked with the positions of the party. The hands of Pitt are shown holding a long scroll of paper enumerating the government's positions.
According to Wright & Evans, Historical and Descriptive Account of the Caricatures of James Gillray (1851, OCLC 59510372 ), p. 160, "On the secession of Fox from Parliament during this session, to lament, as his party said, in his retirement, the evils which his zeal and talents could not avert. The Tories said, on the contrary, that he had deserted his post, because he could no longer conceal his mortification, that all his endeavours to do mischief had failed; and he is here represented making his exit in a panic, caused by the discoveries of his pretended secret practices with the Irish rebels, and by the recent successes of Government, accompanied only by his two faithful dogs, Grey and the diminutive M. A. Taylor. Sheridan and the rest of the party keep their places, although thrown into the utmost confusion by the overthrow of their hopes."
