'T. Oates Esq', 1897. Titus Oates (1649-1705) was an Anglican priest who made up the story of the Popish Plot of 1678, a plot against the government. He was condemned by Judge Jeffreys to imprisonment for life. In addition it was ordered that he would stand annually in the pillory at particular spots, and every May, to be flogged from Aldgate to Newgate. Under William III he was released and pensioned. From "The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A Beckett, with satirical illustrations by John Leech. [Bradbury, Agnew & Co, London, 1897]
