Illustration for the 2nd ed. of 'Baratariana', Dublin, 1773. representing 'The Privy Council of Barataria' (p. 20) at the meeting at which the summoning of parliament after repeated prorogations was decided on. ('Ibid.', pp. 203-5.) The figures seated and standing round the table have been identified by Edmund Malone in a note with the print as: (l. to right.) Philip Tisdall, Francis Andrews, Godfrey Lill, John Hely Hutchinson, Anthony Malone. Townshend, the Lord Lieutenant, sits at the head of the table; behind him stands Sir George (afterwards Lord) Macartney and on his left sits Lord Annaly, from whose pocket hangs a fox's tail inscribed "talliho". Walking into the room on the left is a figure leading two dogs "Proroga[ion]" and "Protest"; from his pocket hangs a paper, "His Excellency to A. Cun. To 1000 Vis[its] ... Castle £113710". He is Alexander Cunningham, a Scottish surgeon. On the table is a proclamation: "Townshend ... Given at the Council Chambr" Jan. 8th. 1771, and also a "Mem: To sink ye Acc: of the Motions upon them". Malone (at this time at the Irish bar) ends his note: "All these portraits were drawn from memory and are all somewhat caricatured except Mr. Malone  [the writer's uncle]  whose profile is extremely like and not at all caricatured. Of Mr. Tisdall, Mr. Andrews, Mr. Lill, and Lord Annaly there are I believe no engraved portraits. Edm. Malone scripsit." 1773
