Mr. Julian E. Salomons, QC.

Rare colonial engraving of Julian Salomons who went on to become Chief Justice of New South Wales.

Sir Julian Emanuel Salomons (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 in New South Wales to be appointed and resign before he was ever sworn into office. He had general support with most newspapers and from the legal profession. Nevertheless, he decided on 19 November 1886 to resign the position before actually taking the oath of office. He was therefore gazetted as chief justice for only six days, having resigned twelve days after being offered the position.
