- Sir William Cusack-Smith, 2nd Baronet
Sir William Cusack Smith (January 23, 1766–August 21, 1836), baronet, was an eccentric Irish judge who had offended Daniel O’Connell.
Daniel O’Connell raised a motion, carried by MPs on 13 February 1834, to appoint a select committee "to enquire into the conduct of Baron Smith in respect of his neglect of duty as a judge, and the introduction of political topics in his charges to grand juries". On 21 February there was an important debate on the matter, and the resolution to appoint the committee was rescinded by a majority of six.
