Murphy, Francis Stack
by Bridget Hourican
Murphy, Francis Stack (1807–60), lawyer, writer, and politician, was born in Cork, third son of Jeremiah Murphy (1779–1833) and Mary Murphy (née Stack). Jeremiah Murphy was a member of a wealthy merchant dynasty, and founded with his brothers (1825) the Midleton distillery, James Murphy & Co. John Murphy (qv), bishop of Cork, appears to have been related. Francis was educated at Clongowes Wood College, Co. Kildare, at St Cuthbert's, Durham, and at TCD, where he graduated BA (1829), after being awarded the gold medal for classics. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn (25 January 1833) and thereafter practised in London. He managed to build up a good practice while indulging his literary interests. In 1834 he became connected with Fraser's Magazine as an occasional contributor, assisting his old Clongowes teacher, Fr F. S. Mahony (qv), (‘Father Prout’), with his ‘Reliques’. He was responsible for some of Mahony's Greek and Latin verses, including the Greek version of ‘The groves of Blarney’ and ‘Wreath the bowl’, and is introduced in the ‘Prout Papers’ as ‘Frank Creswell of Furnival's Inn’. However, his actual name appears on only one known work, a legal textbook, Reports of cases in the court of exchequer, 1836–37 (1838) which was written with Edwin T. Hurlstone.
Deciding to enter politics in the 1840s, he continued the O'Connellite tradition of his family; his father had been an active emancipationist. Murphy was elected as a liberal for Cork city in 1841 and sat until 1846 and then again from 1851 to 1853, although he continued to live and work principally in London. In February 1842 he was appointed serjeant-at-law in England and received a patent of precedence in 1846. In parliament Murphy was characterised by his short, well-judged interventions and was famous for his wit; several of his bons mots were recorded by Charles Gavan Duffy (qv) in his League of north and south (1886) and by Serjeant Robinson in Bench and bar (1891). His long speech in February 1844 against the trial of Daniel O'Connell (qv) was colourful, robust, and indignant, but he was no repealer and by July of that year O'Connell was expressing disappointment in him and preference for another candidate in 1846, Alexander McCarthy, also a barrister. Murphy was difficult to oppose as his family was wealthy and he enjoyed great clerical support, being related to the bishop of Cork, but he resigned voluntarily in 1846. In April 1851 he was reelected without opposition as an independent liberal for Cork city and sat until appointed commissioner of bankruptcy in Dublin in 1853. During his second parliamentary term he opposed the tenant league, and having been formerly protectionist, espoused free trade. He died unmarried in Kensington, London, on 17 June 1860.
