In 1816 the Prince of Wales, now Prince Regent, granted Gilliland an annuity of £400, formalised by a contract of June 1817. In 1827, Gilliland bought what he claimed was a portrait of Shakespeare, an identification not otherwise supported.
Edmund Henry Barker's ''Literary Anecdotes and Contemporary Reminiscences'' includes several he heard from Gilliland when both were imprisoned for debt in the Fleet in 1837. Provided by Wikipedia
