DUFFY, SIR CHARLES GAVAN (1816-1903)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 646 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DRO-ECG
DUFFY, SIR CHARLES GAVAN (1816-1903) , Irish and colonial politician, was born in Monaghan, Ireland, on the 12th of April 1816. At an early age he became connected with the
press
 , and was one of the founders (1842) of the Nation, a Dublin weekly which was remarkable for its talent, for its seditious tendencies, and for the fire and spirit of its political poetry. In 1844
Duffy
  was included in the same indictment with O'Connell, and shared his conviction in Dublin and his acquittal by the
House
  of Lords upon a point of law. His ideas, nevertheless, were too revolutionary for O'Connell; a schism took place in 1846, and
Duffy
  united himself to the "
Young
  Ireland " party. He was tried for treason-
felony
  in 1848, but the jury were unable to agree. Duffy continued to agitate in the
press
  and in
parliament
 , to which he was elected in 1852, but his failure to bring about an alliance between Catholics and Protest-ants upon the land question determined him in 1856 to emigrate to Victoria. There he became ir. 1857 minister of public works, and after an active political career, in the course of which he was prime minister from 1871 to 1873, when he was knighted, he was elected speaker of the
House
  of Assembly in 1877, being made K.C.M.G. in the same year. In 188o he resigned and returned to Europe, residing mostly in the
south
  of France. He published The Ballad Poetry of Ireland (1845), several works on Irish history, Conversations with Carlyle (1892), Memoirs (1888), &c. In 1891 he became first president of the Irish Literary Society. He was married three times, his third wife dying in 1889. He died on the 9th of February 1903.
