This article appears in Volume V28, Page 608 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WHITESIDE, JAMES (18o4--1876) , Irish judge, son of William Whiteside, a clergyman of the Church of Ireland, was born on the lath of August 1804, and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, being called to the Irish bar in 183o. He very rapidly acquired a large practice, and after taking silk in 1842 he gained a reputation for forensic oratory surpassing that of all his con-temporaries, and rivalling that of his most famous predecessors of the 18th century. He defended Daniel O'Connell in the state trial of 1843, and William
Smith
  O'Brien in 1848; and his greatest
triumph
  was in the Yelverton case in 1861. He was elected member for Enniskillen in 1851, and in 1859 became member for Dublin University. In
parliament
  he was no less successful as a speaker than at the bar, and in 1852 was appointed solicitor-general for Ireland in the first administration of the
earl
  of Derby, becoming attorney-general in 1858, and again in 1866. In the same year he was appointed
chief
  justice of the Queen's Bench; and he died on the 25th of November 1876. Whiteside was a man of handsome presence, attractive personality and cultivated tastes. In 1848, after a visit to Italy, he published Italy in the Nineteenth Century; and in 187o he collected and republished some papers contributed many years before to
periodicals
 , under the title Early Sketches of Eminent Persons. In 1833 Whiteside married
Rosetta
 , daughter of
William Napier, and sister of Sir Joseph Napier (1804-1882), lord chancellor of Ireland.
See J. R. O'Flanagan, The Irish Bar (London, 1879).
