10 Richard Samuel Guinness born 17 Jun 1797. He was a barrister and judge and a
great nephew of the brewer Arthur Guinness. He was educated at Trinity College
Dublin, where he graduated BA Vern in 1818. Richard was 'universally resented for
his airs and affectations, nicknamed ‘Old Pel’ because the stiff, highly starched collars
he wore forced his chin up, emphasised his pointed nose and made his strut like a
pelican'. He married Katherine Frances Jenkinson, daughter of Sir Charles Jenkinson,
10th Baronet and his wife Katherine Campbell on 25 Nov 1833 in France. They
purchased Fairy Hill in 1842, renovated and changed the name of the house to
Deepwell. They had a second home at 17 Sillwood Place, Brighton, Sussex. His election
as MP for the Kinsale division ended abruptly in early 1848. On a petition by the losing
Liberal candidate, W H Watson, a select committee found that Richard's agents'
generous hospitality in providing free drinks for the electorate of Kinsale in Kiley's
public house amounted to bribery. While Richard was personally absolved, his election
was voided. He was MP for Barnstaple, Devon 1854 to 1857. When Richard died on
28 Aug 1857 aged 60 after a long and painful illness he left personal estate of just £100.
