Edward Kenealy

Edward Vaughan Hyde Kenealy (1819–1880) was an Irish-born barrister, author and politician, best known as the defending counsel of the Tichborne Claimant, a case that led to his disbarment in 1874. He was elected Member of Parliament for Stoke-on-Trent in 1875.

He published several volumes of verse, among them Poems and Translations (1864), and wrote the eccentric prose work The Book of God (1867).
