Henry Jickling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Jinkling was appointed as a caretaker judge in 1837 to the Supreme Court of South Australia, which is the highest ranking court in the Australian State of South Australia.
[edit] Judicial Appointment
On 19 November 1837, Judge John Jeffcott left the colony of South Australia for Tasmania. This left Jickling as the only lawyer in the town; consequently, he was appointed Acting Judge while Jeffcott was gone. Jeffcott, however, died at sea on 12 December 1837, leaving Jickling in charge of the court. Although appointed as a caretaker judge, Jickling was responsible for two important issues: he codifed the testamentary causes jurisdiction of the court and admitted the first practitioners of the Supreme Court in March 1838.
