"This is the first time a Magistrate in Australia has set down an account of his work.  Here is the story of a country boy who began his career as a very junior clerk and by his own efforts rose to the peak of his profession.  Mr. Debenham gives the hilarious, tragic, sordid and heroics stories of the lower Courts - an absorbing picture of human nature in all its astonishing variety.  It is the story of a man whose innate belief in the dignity of man, and the ultimate goodness of humanity was not tarnished by the administration of the law to "all manner of people, without fear or favour".
