Item Descriptions
Series 1. Barwick: contracts and business papers, 1981-93
Sir Garfield Barwick (1903-1997) grew up and was educated in Sydney and was called to the Bar in 1927. By the early 1940s he was recognised as one of the leading barristers in Australia and he appeared in a succession of major High Court and Privy Council cases until his election to the House of Representatives in 1958. He was Attorney-General in 1958-63 and Minister for External Affairs in 1961-64. In 1964 he was appointed Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia, a position he occupied until 1981.
David Marr had worked in the Sydney legal firm of Allen, Allen and Hemsley, a firm that had often briefed Barwick in his years at the Bar. In 1977 Marr began to collect material for a biography of Barwick. In the following year he interviewed Barwick, but the Chief Justice later indicated his opposition to the project and provided no further help. Barwick was first published in 1980 by Allen and Unwin. A new edition by the same publisher appeared in 1992.
The correspondence in Files 4-10 was added to the collection on 23 November 2000. The correspondents include Sir Garfield Barwick, Justice Rae Else-Mitchell, R.R. Downing, Sir Lionel Murphy, Geoffrey Griffith

John Thomas Scott (22 November 1857- 16 February 1922)
Sarah in Later Life
At present we have little information on Sarah in later life. At some point she moved from the home at 51 Paxton St. to a home in Porchester that was apparently purchased for her by two of her sons. She lived there until her death just after her 98th birthday on or about 9 February 1960. She is buried in the non-conformist section of the Roman Grove Cemetery in Porchester, row 5, 3rd on the left between A. Lovelett and E.J.Campbell. Her daughter Sally was buried in the same grave after her death in 1988. It is believed the grave is unmarked. There seems to be no record of a will or of an obituary.Hopefully we will be able to record more of her later life in the near future. Her granddaughter, Jean Reed, reports that:
"Grandma Scott never forgot her native tongue and, according to Aunt Sally, was singing hymns in Welsh at the top of her voice the night before she died at the age of 98!"
