Henry George Hughes (10 August 1810 – 22 July 1872) was an Irish judge, politician, and third Baron of the Court of Exchequer.
[4] His appointment to the Bench was well-deserved on merit, but is said to have been partly the result of the Government's policy of increasing the number of Catholic judges.
They had two daughters, of whom Anna, the elder, married the future Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, Michael Morris, 1st Baron Killanin.
His wife conformed to the Church of Ireland, and their daughters were raised in that faith, though both married Catholics.
He died at Bray, County Wicklow in 1872, attended in his last illness by his brother James, a well-known physician.
