  • Some Australian Legal Attitudes of the Nineteenth Century
    Thus, within the greater part of the nineteenth century, legislative uniformity Tradition and Experiment: Some Australian Legal throughout the Empire was not encouraged for its own sake. There were cases Attitudes of the Nineteenth Century where a common standard was valuable, especially in areas of "la~vyers' law" where imperial Acts "codified" or settled complex legal principles. Chalmers' Sale of Goods Act7 is an enduring example. Otherwise, excepting laws affecting "At the present time, Australia is regarded as having emerged from the personal status, of which more is said below, the Colonial Office sympathized colonial state. However, in the field of ideas, its status is still colonial, and with local legislative experirneilts, and actively discouraged servile conformity: this is very apparent in the sphere of legal ideas. ." Thus wrote a critic of procedure in 1950,' and recently Professor Castles has "On balance, the bias within the Office was against uniformity, and against the said much the same of our nineteenth century court systems2 Within limits of literal translation of E~lglishlaw on to the colonial statute book, except in space, we seek to test such general views by sail~plesfrom three strata of law- those few cases where uniformity was clearly desirable in order to avoid con- making and legal administration-the parliaments, the courts, and the legal fusion, or where no obvious harm would ensue.

  • Ryan William Haddrick LLB Jamescook, LLM Qldut, Graddiplegprac ANU
    The Queen’s Ministers of State for the Commonwealth: The Relationship between the Prerogatives of the Crown and the Executive Power of the Commonwealth Ryan William Haddrick LLB JamesCook, LLM QldUT, GradDipLegPrac ANU A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 T.C. Beirne School of Law i ii ABSTRACT The orthodox view is that the prerogatives of the Crown are textually incorporated, or sourced, in the language of s 61 of the Australian Constitution. This work challenges that assumption by examining the text, structure and history of ss 2, 61 and 64 of the Constitution. In particular, the inclusion of the words “under the Crown” and “shall be the Queen’s Ministers of State for the Commonwealth” in the preamble and s 64 respectively are, it is argued, textual indicators (and devices) that the prerogative is textually recognised or affirmed by those provisions, and ought to be seen as emanating from the Crown, and recognised by common law – and not as emanating from s 61 of the Constitution. Having argued that the executive power of the Commonwealth (that is, s 61) is not the textual source, or recognition, of the prerogatives of the Crown, this dissertation then posits a theory as to how s 61 should be construed. True to its Montesquieuian heritage, it is argued that the executive power of the Commonwealth ought to be understood in a functionalist sense. The evidence considered to support these propositions is the text, structure and history of the constitutional provisions. In particular, this dissertation examines the historical concept of the prerogatives of the Crown; the way that body of constitutional doctrine became part of the Australian constitutional landscape; and how the prerogative was understood to operate in pre-Federation Imperial and colonial case law.

  • “Judges' Sons Make the Final Sacrifice”: the Story of the Australian Judicial Community in the First World
    “Judges’ Sons Make the Final Sacrifice”: The Story of the Australian Judicial Community in the First World War Tony Cunneen* This article focuses on the experiences of judges’ families, particularly their sons, in battle in the First World War. It is both a memorial to the sacrifice made by the Australian judicial community in the First World War as well as a contribution to the limited historiography concerning the social history of Australian judges.This article continues research into the activities of the wider Australian legal profession in the First World War. INTRODUCTION In proportion to numbers, no trade or profession in Australia has suffered more bereavement in the war than have the judges in the higher tribunals.1 There is great scope for the extension of judicial biography into the role of Australian judges in the First World War.2 Well respected accounts of that conflict, such as Ernest Scott’s, Australia During the War,3 Connor, Stanley and Yule’s, The War at Home,4 or Michael McKernan’s, The Australian People and The Great War,5 make minimal mention of judges, particularly at the State level. The many accounts of industrial relations during the war tend to focus on judges’ roles in exacerbating class based matters,6 with minimal representation of judges’ social dynamics and their personal commitment to the conflict. In reality, Australian judges during the war ceased whatever reticence they may have had to be involved in public life and adopted prominent roles which extended far beyond the usual range of judicial activity.7 They became national figures whose speeches and activities were reported across the country.

  • The Sydney French Club, 1885–1893
    30 THE SYDNEY FRENCH CLUB, 1885 TO 1893 LES HETHERINGTON In March 1893 author Robert Louis Stevenson, visiting from his Samoan island home, could say that he owed Sydney’s Cosmopolitan Club ‘the expense of the journey to Paris and back’ as lunch there satisfied his ‘Samoan dream’ of entering a French restaurant, drinking good wine and meeting French gentlemen. But in little more than six months the Club was gone,1 and an institution that dated back almost nine years had gone with it. The Club had been founded as the ‘French Association’ and formally established in January 1885. However, for most of its life, more than five years from 1886 until early 1891, it had been known as the Cercle français, or French Club, transforming into the Cosmopolitan Club only in early 1891. Despite Stevenson’s comments so late in its life, the club has been largely overlooked in histories of the French community in Australia. It has been concluded on the period up to 1914 that ‘the concentration of the French in the urban areas of New South Wales and Victoria, that is mainly in Sydney and Melbourne, did not even promote any sense of solidarity among them’ and that ‘nearly every settler had a story of his own, not linked with another Frenchman’, so that the ‘increase of the French population was not accompanied by any development of group settlement …’. The French were not supposed to be ‘interested in recreating La France in the Antipodes, in meeting their fellow countrymen or in promoting ethnic group activities…’ (Stuer 1982, 147, 137 & 165; Jupp 2001, 359).

It is a story, which is worth the telling, of a time when high ideals inspired men to effort, and may repeat itself sooner than we think in a struggle for the closer Union of the British peoples.

    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.

In 1855 he was appointed the secretary of the Great Synagogue at Sydney. After passing the preliminary examination of the Barristers Admission Board (now the Legal Profession Admission Board) in 1857, he returned to England in 1858 where he entered Gray's Inn and was called to the bar on 26 January 1861.
