The title of ChiefJustice of the Northern Territory refers to the highest judicial position in the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory . The position is currently held by Trevor Riley . History of the ChiefJustice of the Northern Territory The Supreme Court of the Northern Territory was established in 1911. From 1911 1974 the Northern Territory had only one resident judge. Relief was provided by Commonwealth judges from 1961 1976 and by Federal Court of Australia Federal Court judges from 1976 1978. The Northern Territory gained Self Government in 1978 and by that time had four resident judges. The title given to the judge varied in name, as the laws concerning the position varied. In 1975 the position was renamed to Chief Judge, with William Forster judge Sir William Forster the only person to hold that position, from 1977 1979. Forster uniquely held 3 different titles relating to the same position, that of Senior Judge, Chief Judge and ChiefJustice, when the position title was changed again in 1979. Since that time there have been 6 Chief Justices of the Court. From 1911 1974, there were eight resident judges not including Forster .

Wikify date June 2011 Sir Henry Fortescue fl. 1426 , was lordchiefjustice of the common pleas in Ireland. Fortescue was the eldest son of Sir John Fortescue, captain of Meaux , and brother to John Fortescue judge Sir John Fortescue , lordchiefjustice of England . It is probable that he was a student of Lincoln s Inn , and almost certain that he was elected member of parliament for Devon UK Parliament constituency Devon on 11 November 1421. His appointment as chiefjustice of the common pleas in Ireland is dated 25 June 1426, and for a short period his name occurs several times in the Calendar of the Irish Chancery Rolls . From these entries, which contain all that is known of his career, it appears that a salary was assigned to him of forty pounds per annum, which was soon afterwards altered to forty pence per diem, in addition to the custody of certain manors. Fortescue held his appointment only for seventeen months, and was relieved from it by the king s writ on 8 November 1427. Almost immediately afterwards he was commissioned by the Irish parliament to accompany Sir James Alleyn on a mission to England, to lay before the king Henry VI of England the grievances of his Irish subjects. Again, in 1428, he was sent with Sir Thomas Strange by the lords and commons assembled in Dublin, with the concurrence of John Sutton, 1st Baron Dudley Sir John Sutton , the lord lieutenant, with a number of articles of complaint to be laid again before the king. One of the grievances which he was instructed to represent related to the insults and assaults made upon himself and Sir James Alleyn during their former mission, from which it may be concluded that their first visit to the court had not met with much success. The other griefs for which the parliament prayed redress related to the frequent changes of governors and justices, to the debts left behind them by each successive lord lieutenant, to the exclusion of Irish law students from the English inns of court, and to the treatment ... more details

Thomas Nugent died May 1715 was an Irish Roman Catholic barrister who became LordChiefJustice of Ireland under James II of Great Britain , and held a 1689 title as Baron of Riverston of complex status . Life He was the second son of Richard Nugent, 2nd Earl of Westmeath , by his wife Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Nugent, bart., of Moyrath . He was brought up to the law, and after the accession of James II, when he was made K.C. in September 1685. During the following winter he was in communication with the lord lieutenant, Henry Hyde, 2nd Earl of Clarendon , who treated him as a representative of the Irish Catholics. In March 1686 he was made a judge of the king s bench. In May he was admitted to the privy council, and in October 1687 became lordchiefjustice. His court was occupied in reversing outlawries of Catholics. One of his first acts was to present the lord lieutenant with a list of sheriffs. An act of Henry VII, forbidding the keeping of guns without license of government, was revived and interpreted so as to deprive Protestants of their arms. Nugent said it was treason to possess weapons, though a fine of 20 was the highest penalty prescribed by the act. Clarendon records some instances of judicial partiality in Nugent, but he showed humanity in Ashton s case. Early in 1688 Richard Talbot, 1st Earl of Tyrconnell sent Nugent to England with Chief baron Stephen Rice judge Stephen Rice , to concert measures for the repeal of the Act of Settlement 1662 . They returned to Ireland in April without having been able to persuade James to let Tyrconnell hold a parliament.
