CARICATURISTS AT WORK 263 



he had heard, the judge left the award to the

Gillray, one of the most notable caricaturists of 

 his day, and other wielders of the style, improved 

 upon the late Duke's doings as much as their 

 brethren of the pen. On April 17th, 1797, was 

 issued his caricature plate of 'Old Q' playing 

 pushpin with a Mrs. Windsor, a lady of unenviable 

 notoriety. This was followed by ' Dilettanti Theatri- 

 cals, or a peep at the Green-room,' in Avhich his 



grace is seen behind the screen saluting Lady . 



These will suffice, though many others may be found 

 among the satirical productions of those times. 



In 1816 the good news came to the legatees under 

 the late Duke of Queensberry's will that their legacies 

 would be paid by order of the Court of Chancery 

 from the funds paid into court by the executors, 

 subject to the claims of the tenants, who had paid 

 large sums, some of which had been reduced, for the 

 renewal of their leases. This order had nothing to 

 do with a cause pending between Lady Yarmouth 

 and two of her children as plaintiffs, and Lord 

 Yarmouth and others as defendants, probably an 

 amicable suit to prevent others from instituting 

 claims.
