The picture used is titled and named "James Burge QC", but is taken from http://spartacus-educational.com/SPYburge.htm where the file is simply called "SPYburge.jpg". That page itself states that he was a junior barrister at the time of the Ward trial, and left the bar shortly afterwards. At no point does that page appear to use the terms QC, Queen's Counsel, or silk.

https://www.theguardian.com/law/2017/nov/13/lord-hutchinson-of-lullington-obituary says he was never "promoted to silk" (made QC) because of the Ward trial and https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2009/jan/16/mortimer-rumpole-dies-obituary that he never recovered professionally from representing Ward.
