A mob of Irishmen runs off with a large sun; they hold the spiky rays which radiate, together with flames, from a disk containing the features of Pitt. One man (left), flourishing a hatchet, holds a firebrand to a pile of logs; he says: "Huzza Erin go brack now we have made bon fires for something aye, aye we'll put out their rush light". The mob, with pikes, axes, &amp;c, bear the sun towards the bonfire. Three of the men say: "By the Holy Proker they are all in Darkshine now"; "By Shaint Patrick when we have Put out this jontlemans we shall bring the Moon into general Use"; "Arrah my boys down with their Day lights &amp; then we shall have Night all Day long". In the background is the Irish Channel bordered by a cliff inscribed 'Holy Head'. On this stands Fox, cheering on the mob.  2 March 1799
