The Very Rev. John Cotter Macdonnell , DD, MA, (1821 - 9 September 1902) was Dean of Cashel from 1862 to 1873.
Macdonnell was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and was placed in the first class in the final divinity examination in 1846. Further studies saw him receive the Master of Arts (MA) in 1855, Bachelor of Divinity (BD) in 1856, and the Doctorate of Divinity (DD) in 1860.
He was ordained deacon in 1846 and priest in 1847, and began his career as a Curate at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. He was the Incumbent Vicar of Laracor from 1854 to 1862 before his years as Dean 1862–1873. That year, he was asked by his college friend William Connor Magee (at this point Bishop of Peterborough) to become Vicar of St Mary's Leicester, moving two years later in 1875 to Rector of Walgrave, and in 1880 to Rector of Misterton, Leicestershire; He was private chaplain to Bishop Magee throughout his time as bishop of Peterborough (1873–1891), and in 1878 was appointed an Honorary Canon of Peterborough Cathedral, changing in 1883 to a Residentiary Canon at Peterborough.
He wrote several books including a biography of his old friend, Life and Correspondence of William Magee (1896), described at the time as one of the more outspoken pieces of ecclesiastical biography printed. He also wrote "The Doctrine of Atonement" (1858), "Shall we commute?" (1869), and an Essay on Cathedrals in Ireland (1872).
He died at his house in Peterborough after a long illness on 9 September 1902, and he was buried in Peterborough Cathedral four days later. His wife had died seven years earlier, and he was survived by a son, Frederick T. Macdonnell, and a daughter Charlotte Jane Macdonnell, who married Sir Shirley Salt, 3rd Baronet.
John William Stubbs (1821–1897) was an Irish mathematician and clergyman who served as bursar of Trinity College Dublin (TCD). He has been co-credited with introducing the geometric concept of inversion in a circle, and late in life he authored a book on the history of the University of Dublin.
Stubbs was born in Finglas, a suburb of Dublin, and graduated from TCD in 1840 as first senior moderator in mathematics, with a gold medal.
He published in mathematics over the next few years, and has been co-credited (along with John Kells Ingram) with introducing the geometric concept of inversion in a circle, in a joint paper. We now know that Jacob Steiner (in 1824) and Giusto Bellavitis (in 1836) had stumbled on similar constructions earlier, as had Joseph Liouville and, a little later, Lord Kelvin.
This Ingram & Stubbs innovation was highlighted in John Casey's work, A Sequel to the First Six Books of Euclid containing An Easy Introduction to Modern Geometry, with Numerous Examples (4th edition, 1886), and also in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy in 1945.
In 1845 Stubbs got his MA, was made a Fellow of TCD, and was admitted to holy orders, henceforth shifting his focus to church matters. His doctor of divinity was awarded in 1866, and in 1882 he was made Senior Fellow and Bursar of TCD. He also served as the treasurer of St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. He had married Catherine Louisa Cotter in 1855, and the couple subsequently had five children.
