[notary public] In re Wilson Supreme Court of New South Wales Forbes C.J., Dowling and Burton JJ, 17 March 1834 Source: Australian, 17 March 1834
On the motion of Mr. S. Stephen - That Mr. William Wilson, a Notary Public of Scotland, in virtue of a Commission dated at Edinburgh, the 29th of February 1828, should be admitted by their Honors, and have the sanction and authority of the Court, to act in said capacity in this Colony. Their Honours remarked, that Notaries Public were a body of men fully qualified by Act of Parliament, and their commissions to act without the sanction or authority of any Court - they were therefore of opinion they could not interfere with his office in this Colony, and that his acts and deeds were perfectly valid and effectual without their intervention, sanction or authority, Mr. Wilson, has, we understand, an office in Queen's Place, where he will pursue the avocations of a Notary Public.

[p. 52] S. Stephen applied on behalf of a Scotch Notary Public to be admitted a notary public of this court; but Per Curiam. We have no authority to admit or appoint a Notary Public. Such an appointment is made by the Judges of the Courts of Civil Law. If he be a regularly authorized Notary Public, our admission or recognition of him, will give his appointment no greater validity than it already has. It is said in the Books that even the King cannot appoint a Notary Public. It requires an Emperor. We therefore must appoint an Emperor first. |
