Edmund Mahony

Edmund Mahony (born c. 1860), was a notable nineteenth-century  Auckland Barrister and Solicitor. He was educated at St Peter's School and was admitted to the bar in 1883 by Mr Justice Gillies and was a member of one of Auckland's earliest-established and most enduring legal firms, Mahony, Herman and Co (still existing in 1969). Mahony was Diocesan Solicitor for the Catholic Diocese of Auckland and Solicitor for the Imperial German Consulate and the Austro-Hungarian Consulate. He was useful to the latter clients because of his knowledge of German.
