A heavily-laden pack-horse is being driven (right to left) by Lord North who walks behind it, holding a whip, with an expression of anxiety. In his left hand is a rolled document inscribed "Extra[ordi]naries"; from his pocket protrude papers inscribed, "Ways &amp; Means for 1781, Sinking Fund". A large pack on the horse's back is inscribed "Budget", a smaller one, "Taxes". The horse is in blinkers. A signpost (right) points "To London" (left), and to "Bushey Park" (right), North's country house. 24 October 1780
