    Conrad Martens

    Conrad Martens "Account of Pictures Painted at N.S. Wales" NAME INDEX TO PATRONS 1835-1878 Compiled by Michael Organ 1989 Editorial Note: The spellings encountered in Conrad Martens' "Account of Pictures painted at N.S. Wales" are quite variable, such that surnames and titles are often spelt a number of different ways e.g. "Dumarick" and "Dumaresq". Problems also arise due to difficulties in distinguishing between certain letters such as "J", "G", "L" and "C" when they are used for Christian names. Spellings are as written by Martens in his account book, however corrections have been made where obvious. For example, "Dumaresq" is the correct spelling, and not "Dumarick".

    4/29/19, 822 AM Page 1 of 1 Julian Salomons The Honourable Sir Julian Emanuel Salomons (formerly Solomons) (4 November 1835 – 6 April 1909) was a barrister, royal commissioner, Solicitor General, Chief Justice and member of parliament. He was the only Chief Justice of New South Wales to be appointed and resign before he was ever sworn into office. Salomons was said to be short of stature and somewhat handicapped by defective eyesight. However, he had great industry, great powers of analysis, a keen intellect and unbounded energy and pertinacity. His wit and readiness were proverbial, and he was afraid of no judge.[1] Sir Julian Salomons Sir Julian Salomons Chief Justice of New South Wales In office 12 November 1886 – 27 November 1886 Preceded by Sir James Martin Succeeded by Sir Frederick Darley Solicitor General In office 18 December 1869 – 15 December 1870 Preceded by Joshua Josephson Succeeded by William Charles Windeyer Personal details Born Julian Emanuel Solomons 4 November 1835 Edgbaston, Warwickshire, England Died 6 April 1909 (aged 73) Woollahra, New South Wales, Australia Early years Salomons was born at Edgbaston, Warwickshire, England, on 4 November 1835 as Julian Emanuel Solomons.

    Australia's Jubilee and Days of Prayer by Graham Mclennan Christians Surround New Parliament House with Prayer on the 7Th

    Australia’s Jubilee and Days of Prayer by Graham McLennan March 19, 2011 Christians surround New Parliament House with Prayer on the 7th May 1988. State Circle, ten abreast, for 3.5 kms! This photograph enlarged and framed was presented to Federal Members and Senators during the First National Prayer Breakfast in the Great Hall, October 1988, by Dr. Graham McLennan on behalf of the Executive of the National Gathering with the reminder that God will “Bless this House” which became the theme of the Prayer Breakfast. AUSTRALIA’S JUBILEE AND DAYS OF PRAYER On the 11th June 1738, John Wesley blew the first trumpet call of the great evangelical revival which was to have a deep and lasting effect on Britain and on those in succeeding generations. Fifty years later a Christian minister gave the first service on Australian soil. The Rev. Richard Johnson was recommended as Chaplain to the first fleet, because of his religious fervour, by men such as William Wilberforce and John Newton. At this service Johnson spoke from Psalm 116, Verse 12 “What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me”. Almost 200 years earlier Pedro Fernandez de Quiros had named the region of Vanuatu, and lands south to the Pole which would have included Australia “Australia del Espirito Santo” – the Great South Land of the Holy Spirit and earnt the Holy Jubilee which the Pope had conceded to the expedition. Fifty years after the arrival of the first fleet, the Governor of N.S.W., George Gipps, a Christian, proclaimed Sunday, November 2, 1838 a national day of fasting and humiliation because of the severe drought.

    List of Non-Practice Published Works by Members of the NSW Bar

    List of non-practice published works by members of the NSW bar Law and literature have a close relationship. Richard Posner is probably the best known commentator; apart from being a federal appeal judge and (yes, these things are measured) the most cited legal scholar of the 20th century, his “Law and Literature” is in its third edition. In Australia we have Nicholas Hasluck, justice of the Supreme Court of Western Australia, novelist, poet, and author of “The legal labyrinth: the Kisch case and other reflections on law and literature”. Kisch’s Australian experience is a fascinating study for anyone interested in the politics of citizenship (and the joys of dictation tests). Malcolm Oakes SC has led the production of a list of members of the Sydney Bar who have published books beyond legal texts. Others have contributed, including Dr John Bennett AM, Philip Selth OAM and David Ash. The list covers 200 years. The criteria are authorship of a work which does not have the better (or at least more well-informed) practice of law as its purpose and has 45 or more pages.

With the delay in announcing a replacement for the incumbent, Jim Spigelman; barrister cum journalist Richard Ackland, published in the Sydney Morning Herald a speculative piece as to who might fill the office and if in fact there is a need for such an office. Enchantingly, chief justices still live with us, in name. A Sydney ferry was named after Sir Leslie Herron’s wife and Mary McCarron Maguire composed The Katoomba Waltz in honour of Sir Frederick Darley. 1 Asked to name a popular waltz, most will recall the magic of Andre Rieu’s presentations around the world of either the The Blue Danube Waltz or the Emperor Waltz. However, few other than local historians would be aware of Mary McCarron Maguire’s, Katoomba Waltz dedicated to Sir Frederick Darley (then Lieutenant Governor of NSW) and Lady Darley who lived in “Lilianfels”, Katoomba. Published in 1895, The Katoomba Waltz was first performed at Government House in Sydney and was performed at the Tivoli Theatre in August 1895. The music was added to the repertoire of the NSW Artillery Regiment Band. This beautiful and delicately designed sheet music cover for the Katoomba Waltz is held in the National The Sydney Morning Herald of the day pronounced it ‘a Library of Australia, Canberra dashing composition admirably suited to ballroom which has approved the publication of this image purposes’ nla.mus-an 10996145-1-v The rediscovery in 1989 of Mary McCarron Maguire’s, They lived at “Lansdown” in Edgecliff Road, and were Katoomba Waltz has led to speculation about a ‘lost frequent guests at Government House and Admiralty school’ of popular composers whose works were House garden parties, and at lord mayoral receptions.
