- Verify presence of Corry's signature. It is not reported by Di in this instance. Two of the 1796 lists, those for Tipperary and Waterford, have colophons, identifying B. & J. Williamson as "Printers to the Right Hon. and Hon. the Trustee of the Linen Board". This firm was clearly the successor body to Mat. Williamson, of 12 Grafton Street, who was acting in a similar capacity in 1790 (cf. t188903)
