摘要

19世纪见证了职业阶层在西方世界的兴起。站在他们前列的是律师。随着英国商业服务的扩大,对法律技能的需求也在增加。早在1840年,根据乔治·斯蒂芬爵士的说法,“几乎没有任何重要的交易,商人可以或多或少地不需要律师的建议。”在维多利亚时代,这一进程大大加快。同一时期,在澳大利亚的两极,律师们成了举足轻重的事务人物。在19世纪的新西兰,政治和行政部门被大量受过法律训练的人占据。但正是在买卖的世界里,这个职业的资格最具市场价值。在商业和交易中,律师的神秘技能被证明是不可或缺的。事实上,律师与银行、提供利息的资本家以及商人之间的联系是如此密切,以至于他们理所当然地被视为殖民地商业的伟大促进者。在这方面,他们更像苏格兰的律师,而不是英格兰的律师。既然如此,我们对早期新西兰法律实践的实际运作方式的无知难道不值得注意吗?在公司自述的地方,账目通常都很少,也许是因为它们被放在一起供内部消费。诚然,新西兰法律协会的历史——国家的和地区的——要丰富得多。但他们

An Anatomy of the Practice of Law in Nineteenth-Century Auckland
THE nineteenth century saw the rise in the western world of the professional classes. And in their forefront were lawyers. As commercial services in Britain expanded, so did the demand for legal skills. As early as 1840, according to Sir George Stephen, there was 'scarcely any important transaction in which a merchant can engage that does not more or less require the counsel of his solicitor'. During the Age of Victoria the process accelerated enormously. In the Antipodes over the same period, lawyers became considerable men of affairs. In nineteenth-century New Zealand, politics and administration were thickly peopled by men trained in law. But it was in the world of buying and selling that the qualifications of this profession were at their most marketable. In commerce and conveyancing the arcane skills of solicitors proved indispensable. Indeed so close were the connections of lawyers with banks, with capitalists providing money at interest, and with merchants, that they are rightly to be seen as the great facilitators of colonial business. In this regard they were much more akin to the solicitors of Scotland than to any English counterpart. This being so, is not our ignorance of the actual workings of early New Zealand legal practices remarkable? Where firms have written of themselves, the accounts have generally been slight, perhaps because they have been put together for in-house consumption. Granted, the histories of the New Zealand Law Society — national and district — have been much more substantial.But they
