- Q6260523 abstract "John Thomas Ball QC (24 July 1815 – 17 March 1898) was an Irish barrister, judge and politician in the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and Lord Chancellor of Ireland.He was born in Dundrum, Dublin, eldest son of Major Benjamin Ball, of the 40th Regiment of Foot, who had fought with distinction in the Peninsular War, and Elizabeth Feltus, daughter of Cuthbert Feltus of County Carlow. His formidable grandmother Penelope Paumier is said to have been the main influence in his childhood. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, which he entered when he was only 16, graduating LLD in 1844. He was an outstanding scholar and also enjoyed some reputation as a journalist and minor poet. He became a barrister in 1840, practising mainly in the field of probate and matrimonial law; Queen's Counsel, 1854; Vicar-General of the province of Armagh, 1862; Queen's Advocate in Ireland, 1865; Solicitor General for Ireland, 1868 and Attorney General for Ireland, 1868 and 1874–1875. He became a member of the Privy Council of Ireland in 1868.He was a Conservative Member of Parliament for Dublin University 1868–1875 and Vice-Chancellor of the University from 1880. His critics regarded him as an opportunist without any strong political convictions: on a celebrated occasion in the House of Commons, when he asked for the precise date of an event, Richard Dowse, the Government spokesman, replied that it was at roughly the time when Ball changed joined the Conservative party to advance his political career.He opposed the Irish Church Act 1869, (his speech was regarded as one of the finest made in the Commons in living memory), but assisted in framing the future constitution of the disestablished Church of Ireland, of which he was a devout member all his life. He opposed Gladstone's first Irish Land Bill of 1870 and the Irish University Bill of 1873. On the return of the Conservative Party to power in 1874, he served again as Attorney General for a time. Although his talents undoubtedly entitled him to a seat on the Bench, Disraeli was reluctant to lose a Law Officer of whom he had the highest opinion. When a suitable replacement as Attorney General was found Ball became Lord Chancellor of Ireland, 1875–1880. As a judge his reputation was excellent: his judgments, especially in probate cases were both learned and well written. When the Conservatives went out of office in 1880, Ball's public career came to an end: at 65 his health was starting to fail. When the Conservatives returned to power in 1885 Ball was too infirm to accept any office in the new Government; after 1890 he rarely left home.He wrote two books, one on the Church of Ireland, the other on the Irish legislative system: like his judgements, both books were praised both for their learning and strict impartiality: even Gladstone praised the book on the Irish Church highlyHe married Catherine Elrington, daughter of Rev Charles Elrington, in 1852; she died in 1887. They had three sons, Charles, Thomas, and the best-known of their children, F Elrington Ball, who was an author and legal historian, and is still remembered for The Judges in Ireland 1221-1921 and for his 6 volume History of the Parishes of Dublin.".
