MACKENZIE, Kenneth, Canadian judge, born in Ross-shire, Scotland, in 1804; died in Toronto, 7 February, 1883. He came to Canada in 1831, settled in Montreal, where he served as a merchant's clerk, and subsequently began business in Cobourg on his own account. He afterward studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1843, and became a Queen's counsel in 1853, and a bencher of the Law society in 1871. He first practised at Kingston in 1853, was appointed county court judge of Frontenac and allied counties, and in 1865 resigned and removed to Toronto. In 1866 Mr. Mackenzie was retained as counsel by the United States government for the Fenians, that were concerned in the raid at Fort Erie, and succeeded in securing the acquittal of about one half of the number that were captured. He was employed as crown prosecutor by the government of Ontario, appointed judge of the county court of York in October, 1876, and in 1877 judge of the Ontario maritime court.
