F.E. Smith, who was the most famous barrister of his day, but became Lord Birkenhead, which seems an unusual choice.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._E._Smith,_1st_Earl_of_Birkenhead

Deserves to be remembered for this quote alone:

A 1924 entry in Evelyn Waugh’s diary states that an English High Court judge presiding in a sodomy case sought advice on sentencing from Lord Birkenhead. "Could you tell me," he asked, "what do you think one ought to give a man who allows himself to be buggered?" Birkenhead replied without hesitation, "Oh, thirty shillings or two pounds; whatever you happen to have on you."[11]

MacGowan means Smith I think, in gaelic, but Shane doesn't have a knighthood yet.
