Singleton Rochfort

ROCHFORT, SINGLETON, who was born in 1817, was admitted to the bar in Victoria in 1852. Shortly afterwards he came to New Zealand, and was appointed in 1855 provincial solicitor in Auckland. In this capacity he declared all the acts of the Auckland Provincial Council in sessions I and II void and also the creation of the Auckland City Council. A few months later he resigned and he was in the Indian service for several years. Returning to Victoria, Rochfort practised at the Victorian bar. In 1860 he published a masterly commentary, The Constitutional Law of England in its Relation to Colonial Settlements (with a special bearing on the claims of James Busby, q.v.). In 1870 he was appointed examiner of titles at Napier and district judge for Hawke's Bay, a post he resigned in 1872. He married Isabella, daughter of Alexander Shepherd (q.v.).
