Trial of the Tichborne Claimant: Dr. Kenealy concluding his address, 1873. 'The Court of Queen's Bench has been listening twenty days and more to the lengthened speech of Dr. Kenealy, as counsel for the person, indicted as Arthur Orton, who is charged with the crime of perjury in his claim to be regarded as Sir Roger Tichborne. That learned advocate, whose tone and manner of speaking are somewhat unusual at the Bar, frequently incurs the check of a remonstrance from the Judges, in which he is not always disposed to acquiesce. His figure and attitude are shown in the sketch that furnishes an Illustration of the scene in court engraved for our front page. The jury, on Wednesday, again implored him to tell them how soon he was likely to finish his speech, which has been wholly occupied with comments on the case for the prosecution. Dr. Kenealy had promised to get done with it on the Friday before, then on Monday, and, next to that, on Tuesday; but he had not, till Thursday afternoon, found it opportune to bring the prolix discourse to an end. The witnesses for the defence are now to be examined'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
