AVONMORE, BARRY YELVERTON, 1ST VISCOUNT (1i36-18o5)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 67 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AVONMORE, BARRY YELVERTON, 1ST VISCOUNT (1i36-18o5) , Irish judge, was born in 1736. He was the eldest son of Frank Yelverton of Blackwater, Co.
Cork
 . Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, he was for some years an assistant master under Andrew Buck in the Hibernian
Academy
 . In 1761 he married Miss Mary Nugent, a lady of some fortune, and was then enabled to read for the bar. He was called in 1764, his success was rapid, and he took
silk
  eight years afterwards. He sat in the Irish
parliament
  as member successively for the boroughs of Donegal and Carrickfergus, becoming attorney-general in 1782, but was elevated to the bench as
chief
  baron of the
exchequer
  in 1783. He was created (Irish) Baron Avonmore in 1795, and in 1800 (Irish) viscount. Among his colleagues at the Irish bar Yelverton was a popular and charming companion. Of insignificant
appearance
 , he owed his early successes to his remarkable eloquence, which made a
great
  impression on his contemporaries; as a judge, he was inclined to take the view of the
advocate
 
    See Also:
rather than that of the impartial lawyer. He gave his support to Grattan and the Whigs during the greater part of his parliamentary career, but in his latter days became identified with the court party and voted for the
union
 , for which his viscounty was a reward. He had three sons and one daughter, and the title has descended in the family.
