Council had come to an end, it would seem that he employed his own printer, 

 "William Smith, for printing in Kilkenny, probably using one of the presses 

 of the Supreme Council. Smith afterwards removed to Cork, as will be seen 

 by reference to my Cork list. It is quite possible that some of these rare 

 Kilkenny pamphlets have not been known to historians, and they will be 

 found worthy of examination. They represent various sections of the 

 parties that were in power at Kilkenny at the time, and, as showing the 

 different views of that day, are deserving of attention. 



The extant copies of Kilkenny printing are scattered, and comparison 

 is very difficult. Could they be all brought together, a close examination 

 of type, initial letters, and ornaments would enable a fairly accurate 

 decision to be arrived at as to which press was used in printing each item, 

 viz. the original press or that of the Jesuits, and which was used by 

 Ormonde's printer.
