Abstract
The lecture focuses mainly on Wentworth's career at the Bar between 1824 and 1835. According to Governor Darling, Wentworth turned the newly created Supreme Court of New South Wales into a de facto parliament in his quest for trial by jury and a free press. Wentworth's campaigns for an elected legislature, self-government and what he called an Australian 'confederation' are also covered.
