KENEALY, See also:EDWARD See also:VAUGHAN See also:HYDE (1819–188o) , Irish See also:barrister and author, was See also:born at See also:Cork on the 2nd of See also:July 1819, the son of a See also:local See also:merchant. He•was educated at Trinity See also:College, See also:Dublin; was called to the Irish See also:bar in 184o and to the See also:English bar in 1847; and obtained a See also:fair practice in criminal cases. In 1868 he became a Q.C. and a bencher of See also:Gray's See also:Inn. It was not, however, till 1873, when he became leading counsel for the Tichborne claimant, that he came into any See also:great prominence. His violent conduct of the See also:case became a public See also:scandal, and after the See also:verdict against his client he started a See also:paper to plead his cause and to attack the See also:judges. His behaviour was so extreme that in 1874 he was disbenched and disbarred by his Inn. He then started an agitation throughout the See also:country to ventilate his grievances, and in 1875 was elected to See also: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 See also:attention, and on the 16th of See also:April 188o he died in See also:London. He published a great quantity of See also:verse, and also of somewhat mystical See also:theology. His second daughter, Dr Arabella Kenealy, besides practising as a physician, wrote some See also:clever novels.
