Engraving (coloured impression) by Gillray. Dundas in Highland dress, wearing a Scots cap over a legal wig, crouches with his head turned in profile to the right. With his voluminous tartan plaid, he covers Pitt, who sits close against him in profile to the left on the pan of a close-stood inscribed 'Extracts from the Treasury', his profile, feet and ankles alone being visible. An illustration of an ironical speech by Courtenay on 25 May in the debate on the Proclamation against Seditious Writings. He ridiculed Dundas for his 'accommodating disposition' towards Pitt, comparing him with 'an officer who paraded the Streets of Edinburgh at night with a large cloak, vociferating at the corner of every alley, "Wha wants me".'Parl. Hist'. xxix. 1493. A ballad, 'Wha wants me', founded on this speech, was sung for months in the streets of Edinburgh. Reprinted, G.W.G., 1830.
