Excerpt from The Trial at Bar of Sir Roger C. D. Tichborne, Bart., In the Court of Queen's Bench at Westminster, Vol. 4: Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Mellor, and Mr. Justice Lush, for Perjury Dr. Kenealy That is not so, because what I call attention to is simplicity itself. There could be nothing more simple than retire by files to the right, which he changes into retire by file right. That does not indicate any inability to use the word of command, but an inability to retain it in memory, either from inattention or carelessness. Mr. Taylor (juryman): I think, taking the whole evidence, the real difficulty was, that he could not express himself in Eng lish.

He was born at Cork on the 2nd of July 1819, the son of a local merchant.
He'was educated at Trinity College, Dublin.
He was called to the Irish bar in 1840 and to the English bar in 1847; and obtained a fair practice in criminal cases. In 1868 he became a Q. C. and a bencher of Gray's Inn. It was not, however, till 1873, when he became leading counsel for the Tichborne claimant, that he came into any great prominence. His violent conduct of the case became a public scandal, and after the verdict against his client he started a paper to plead his cause and to attack the judges. His behaviour was so extreme that in 1874 he was disbenched and disbarred by his Inn. He then started an agitation throughout the country to ventilate his grievances, and in 1875 was elected to parliament for Stoke; but no member would introduce him when he took his seat.
He published a great quantity of verse, and also of somewhat mystical theology. He also published a large amount of poetry in journals such as Fraser's Magazine. He published translations from Latin, Greek, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Irish, Persian, Arabic, Hindustani and Bengali. It is unlikely that he was fluent in all these languages. He also published a more conventional biography of Edward Wortley Montagu in 1869.

In 1866, Kenealy wrote The Book of God: the Apocalypse of Adam-Oannes, an unorthodox theological work in which he claimed that he was the "twelfth messenger of God", descended from Jesus Christ and Genghis Khan.
Kenealy suffered from diabetes and an erratic temperament has sometimes been attributed to poor control of the symptoms. In 1850 he was sentenced to one month imprisonment for punishing his six-year-old illegitimate son with undue severity.
He married Elizabeth Nicklin of Tipton, Staffordshire in 1851 and they had eleven children.
