Sir Redmond Barry KCMG QC (7 June 1813 – 23 November 1880), was an Irish-born judge in the Australian colony of Victoria. A major figure in the early civic life of Melbourne, Barry was instrumental in founding several key institutions in the city, including the University of Melbourne and State Library Victoria, outside of which a statue of him stands. He is also well known for presiding over the trial of the Eureka rebels, as well as having sentenced the bushranger and outlaw Ned Kelly to death.^[1]
