History
Matriculated in 1834. Made a Fellow in 1841. Called to the Irish Bar in 1844; QC 1865; Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, 1877-1887, and Lord Justice of Appeal (1878); he narrowly avoided having to try his fellow Old Member, C. S. Parnell, in the case of conspiracy against the payment of rent in 1880-1881 but having dismissed a motion for the postponement of the trial, he was accused of partiality, and did not sit. ‘A learned, painstaking and impartial judge’ (DNB).
