Mallory was made canon of Chester, and created D.D. on 1 Dec. 1660. The date and place of his death are uncertain, but his successor, John Cooke, was appointed 17 March 1667–8. Mallory married twice: first, Jane, who died on 12 Feb. 1638 (registers), and secondly, Mary. A son, Francis, was legatee under the will of William Forster, bishop of Sodor and Man. A daughter, Elizabeth, was buried at Northenden, 12 June 1665.
The royalist must be distinguished from Thomas Mallory or Mallery (fl. 1662), ejected minister, who was at one time rector of St. Dunstan-in-the-East. In 1644 he was appointed vicar of St. Nicholas, Deptford. Evelyn, the diarist, who lived in the neighbourhood, at Sayes Court, describes him as a ‘quiet presbyter.’ In 1659 he accepted a lectureship at St. Michael's, Crooked Lane. Evelyn wrote in his ‘Diary,’ under date of 17 Jan. 1659, ‘Our old vicar preached, taking leave of the parish in a pathetical speech to go to a living in the city.’ He was one of the twenty-four independents who affixed their names to the Renunciation and Declaration of the Congregational Churches issued after the Fifth-monarchy insurrection (January 1661). Mallery was ejected from St. Michael's by the Act of Uniformity, 1662. Calamy describes him as ‘exemplary in his conversation and faithful in his ministry.’ He wrote: 1. ‘Sermons on Romans viii. 38–9.’ 2. ‘A Sermon,’ No. 17 in ‘The Morning Exercises,’ entitled ‘On Suitable Conceptions of God in Duty,’ 4th ed. 1677; and with Joseph Greenhill [q. v.] and Joseph Caryl [q. v.], the commentators, wrote a preface for Samuel Malbon's ‘Discourse on Life and Death,’ 1713.

MALONE, ANTHONY (1700–1776), Irish politician, eldest son of Richard Malone of Baronston, co. Westmeath, and Marcella, daughter of Redmond Molady, was born on 5 Dec. 1700. Edmund Malone [q. v.] was his nephew. A younger brother, Richard (1706–1759), was M.P. for Fore from 1741, and second serjeant-at-law from 1750. His father, only son of Anthony Malone and Mary, daughter of John Reily of Lismore, was born in 1674, and while student at the Temple had had some diplomatic employment in Holland, where he attracted the favourable notice of William III. Called to the Irish bar about 1700 he practised with much success. He died 6 Jan. 1744–5. He is said to have resembled Sir Robert Walpole in appearance.
Anthony was educated at Mr. Young's school in Abbey Street, and on 6 April 1720 was admitted a gentleman-commoner of Christ Church, Oxford. After spending two years at the university he entered the Middle Temple, and was called to the Irish bar in May 1726. In 1737 he was created LL.D. of Trinity College, Dublin. From 1727 to 1760, and again from 1769 to 1776, he represented the county of Westmeath, and from 1761 to 1768 the borough of Castlemartyr, in the Irish parliament. He was an able lawyer, and at an early period his professional income amounted to more than 3,000l. a year. He was a liberal-minded but somewhat timid politician, and in parliament inclined rather to government than to opposition. In 1740 he was appointed prime serjeant-at-law, but was dismissed from office in 1754 for opposing the claim of the crown to dispose of unappropriated revenue. He did not resent this treatment, and in 1757 he was made chancellor of the exchequer. But owing to his attitude in council in regard to the Money Bill of 1761 he was again removed from office. His punishment was regarded as unnecessarily severe by Pitt, who on this point differed from his colleagues, and Malone, who drew a distinction between advice offered in council and his conduct in parliament, introduced the measure as chairman of the committee of supply. He was shortly afterwards granted a patent of precedence at the bar, but his conduct exposed him to much censure, and he was unjustly charged with having sold his political principles for money. He supported Monck Mason's bill for enabling catholics to invest money in mortgages upon land, and on the catholic question generally his attitude was one of enlightened tolerance. In 1762 he was appointed, with Sir Richard Aston, to try the whiteboys of Munster, and concurred with him in ascribing their outrages to local and individual grievances. Malone died on 8 May 1776. He was a man of large and even robust stature, and in later years his abundant grey hair gave
