Description
This publication is a revised, edited transcript of the 2004 Forbes Lecture. The subject of the lecture was Sir James Dowling, Second Chief Justice of New South Wales, and the Supreme Court under his stewardship, and was given in two parts. T. D. Castle focuses on Dowling's time in the Supreme Court and his contribution to the development of Australian legal culture, illustrated by case examples. Bruce Kercher examines the challenges Dowling faced in adapting English law to the new colony, in particular regarding a person's legal status as an Aborigine, convict or free subject of the King.
