Chief Secretary For Ireland
The Chief Secretary for Ireland was a key political office in the British administration in Ireland. Nominally subordinate to the Lord Lieutenant, and officially the "Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant", from the early 19th century until the end of British rule he was effectively the government minister with responsibility for governing Ireland, roughly equivalent to the role of a Secretary of State, such as the similar role of Secretary of State for Scotland. Usually it was the Chief Secretary, rather than the Lord Lieutenant, who sat in the British Cabinet. The Chief Secretary was ''ex officio'' President of the Local Government Board for Ireland from its creation in 1872. British rule over much of Ireland came to an end as the result of the Irish War of Independence, which culminated in the establishment of the Irish Free State. In consequence the office of Chief Secretary was abolished, as well as that of Lord Lieutenant. Executive responsibility within the Iris ...

Alumni Of Christ Church, Oxford
Alumni (singular: alumnus (masculine) or alumna (feminine)) are former students of a school, college, or university who have either attended or graduated in some fashion from the institution. The feminine plural alumnae is sometimes used for groups of women. The word is Latin and means "one who is being (or has been) nourished". The term is not synonymous with "graduate"; one can be an alumnus without graduating (Burt Reynolds, alumnus but not graduate of Florida State, is an example). The term is sometimes used to refer to a former employee or member of an organization, contributor, or inmate. Etymology The Latin noun ''alumnus'' means "foster son" or "pupil". It is derived from PIE ''*h₂el-'' (grow, nourish), and it is a variant of the Latin verb ''alere'' "to nourish".Merriam-Webster: alumnus .. Separate, but from the s ...

Robert French (Irish Judge)
Robert French (1690 – 29 May 1772) was an Irish judge of the Court of Common Pleas. He was extremely unpopular with his colleagues, who thought poorly of him both as a lawyer and a judge. He was born in Liverpool, and grew up in Dungar, now Frenchpark, County Roscommon. He was the second son of the wealthy landowner Colonel John French, who was nicknamed ''An Tiarna Mór'' (the Great Lord). Colonel French was the eldest son of Dominick French and his wife Anne King, daughter of John King and Sarah Conway, and granddaughter of Edward King, Bishop of Elphin. Robert's mother was Anne Gore, daughter of Sir Arthur Gore, 1st Baronet and his wife Eleanor St. George.

He attended the local school in Roscommon, matriculated from Trinity College Dublin in 1708, took his degree of Bachelor of Arts ...
