Then, as an external student of the University of Queensland, he passed examinations in ¡English and in Logic and Psychology. He also passed the necessary examina tion and entered the Public Service in 1900. Four years later he was transferred to the Justice Department, where he successively occupied the positions of first clerk, secretary to the Representative of the Government In the Legislative Council, Parliamentary Secretary and Certifying Barrister under the Friendly Societies Acts, Assistant Parliamentary Draftsman, and, finally Parliamentary Draftsman on the translation to the Supreme Court bench In 1927 of the late Mr, Justice J.
