ENGLISH SCHOOL (19TH CENTURY) Portrait of an Officer with Groom and Horse Oil on panel, 76 x 58cm Believed to be Lieutenant General William Thornton (1779-1840) who took part in the Battle of New Orleans, 1815. Provenance: Collection of the Peck Family, Prehen House, Derry The Corps of Colonial Marines was division of British Marines created from former slaves for service in the Americas, at the direction of senior Royal Navy commander Alexander Cochrane. In this painting, the black figure's white tunic is concurrent with the light-coloured uniform worn by the Colonial Marines. The first group of Corps served in the Caribbean between 1808 - 1810. With the Mutiny Act 1807, all former slaves in the British Army were emancipated, and as such any subsequent recruited slaves were considered free on enlistment. The second more substantial corps served between 1814 - 1816 mostly stationed on Apalachicola River in northwest Florida. On 2nd April 1814, Cochrane issued a proclamation to all persons wishing to emigrate, that they would be welcomed at any British outpost and if seeking sanctuary could enlist in His Majesty's Forces. The actions of the British in establishing the force caused much controversy at the time and angered the slave-owning society of the United States who feared the military threat but also the potential for inducing a revolt amongst their enslaved workers. The Battle of New Orleans saw the British troops decisively defeated by the American armies, despite their advantage in terms of numbers, training and experience. With the British withdrawal, the main post in Florida was disbanded and a number of men travelled to Bermuda with the British as part of a refugee group which re-joined the main body of the Colonial Marines. The British army had to pay substantial reparations to the slave owners in the United States as compensations for the loss of their earnings.

ANTHONY LEE (FL.1735-1767) AFTER THOMAS POOLEY A Full Length Portrait of John Bysse, Lord Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer Oil on canvas, 200 x 125cm Provenance: Collection of the Peck Family, Prehen House, Derry John Bysse was a well-educated and well-connected lawyer who became the Lord Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer under Charles II. Bysse's father passed away when he was a child, and guardianship was granted to Sir Francis Annesley, Lord Mountnorris until he became of age and inherited his father's estate. As part of the estate, Bysse inherited a considerable amount of land including Preston's Inns in Dublin where he resided and where Dublin City Hall stands today. Educated at Trinity College Dublin he was admitted as a member of King's Inns in 1632. He became an eminent lawyer and ran a large legal practice while holding a number of distinguished positions throughout his career including Recorder of Dublin (a position he held for 25 years), Justice of Assize in Muster and Ulster (respectively); and like his father and grandfather before him, Bysse was an official of the Exchequer. He was also a member of parliament, elected to the House of Common in 1634 as MP for Charlemount and re-elected in 1640 as MP for Dublin city. Henry Cromwell (son of Oliver) assisted him in fending off attempts to exclude him from gaining a parliamentary position from Dublin. Henry Cromwell also recommended Bysse for the position of Puisne Judge in 1695. At the Restoration in 1660 Bysse was appointed Chief Baron of the Exchequer. With the support of his friend, the Duke of Ormond, who saved him from dismissal on more than one occasion, he retained this position for the remainder of his life. He is depicted in the official Baron of the Exchequer robes in this portrait.
