KENEALY (1819–188o)  , Irish barrister and author, was born at Cork on the 2nd of July 1819, the son of a local merchant . He•was educated at Trinity College, Dublin; was called to the Irish bar in 184o and to the English bar in 1847; and obtained a fair practice in criminal cases . In 1868 he became a Q.C. and a bencher of Gray's Inn . It was not, however, till 1873, when he became leading counsel for the Tichborne claimant, that he came into any great prominence . His violent conduct of the case became a public scandal, and after the verdict against his client he started a paper to plead his cause and to attack the judges . His behaviour was so extreme that in 1874 he was disbenched and disbarred by his Inn . He then started an agitation throughout the country to ventilate his grievances, and in 1875 was elected to parliament for Stoke; but no member would introduce him when he took his seat . Dr Kenealy, as he was always called, gradually ceased to attract attention, and on the 16th of April 188o he died in London . He published a great quantity of verse, and also of somewhat mystical theology . His second daughter, Dr Arabella Kenealy, besides practising as a physician, wrote some clever novels .
