Will you be kind enough to return the testimonials which I sent you in support of my application to the University Association? I take this opportunity of thanking you for the information you gave me in answer to my enquiries, and for

Sir,
Mr. Fisher informs me that he is an applicant for the post of letter carrier at the Port. I have very great pleasure in recommending Mr. Fisher to your favourable consideration.
[Page 2]
I have known him for some time past and am convinced that he is a more than usually steady, respectable and capable young man. It will, I imagine, be difficult to obtain one more suitable for the position than he is.

pro Mescivvia?
About 1822 I was enrolled as Student for the Law at the University of Kiel; having previously had an opportunity of studying under Dr Lappenberg of Hamburg: And in the four subsequent years, (according to the liberal regulations obtaining between all German Universities) I further pursued and completed the prescribed courses in Jena, and Berlin, finally passing in Kiel, where I was made Doctor Juris Utriusque. My Dissertation on that occasion was a Treatise "On the Customary holdings in the Ancient Marquisate" and is officially printed in "von Kamptz Annals of Prussian Jurisprudence."
I mention specially that I heard the "Jus Naturale et Gentium" under Falk, and the Institutiones Juris Romani under professor Rathjen; both in Kiel; - the Pandects in Jena, and again at Berlin under the renowned Savigny. Holweg instructed me in the Laws of procedure, Homeyer and Eichhorn in the "Mirror of the Saxons", the feudal, and German General or Common Laws. - I also duly passed the prescribed Courses of the Criminal and Ecclesiastical Laws: And immediately afterwards added a practical Course (which is open in Prussia) by passing the first State - Examination and becoming a junior member of certain Local and afterwards Appeal Courts in Prussia. By this means I have had the advantage of becoming conversant with the System of Registrations, Hyposheks, and Inheritance Laws of that Realm. - And as, both in Hamburgh, and in one of those Prussian Districts, during the occupation of the French, the Code Napoleon had been Law, I applied myself to its Knowledge also,
[Page 3]
a knowledge which I had practically to apply on several occasions.
Having subsequently returned to Hamburgh I practised (sic) there from about 1832 to 1842 as Attorney and Barrister. In 1842, after the decease of my mother, I resolved to come to this Colony. Up to 1857 I have mostly lived in the Country, employed in farming, and also in the tuition of the Young. - After the passing of the Real Property Act 1857 I resettled in Adelaide where I have practised (sic) under it ever since. - I have held the Office of German Interpreter (conferred on me through Sir R. D. Hanson, when Attorney General) from 1857 to 1860, when that office was abolished by the Government - but have nevertheless been unremitting in the practice under the Real Property Act on behalf of my Country-men and others

To the Council of University of Adelaide
Gentlemen
Having hailed with sincere satisfaction and interest the public announcement of the appointment of your Council as the harbinger of the cultivation of solid Knowledge and the Sciences in this Colony: I do myself the honor to lay before you my earnest desire to become associated with the active labors if the university, about to be opened under the guidance of your learned Council.
Being a member of the well Known University of Kiel in Germany, where I have been promoted to the Degrees of Doctor Juris utriusque (Canonici ? Et Civilis) I beg to apply for the appointment as a Professor or Lecturer docens in the Faculty of the Law. My qualifications will be seen from the subjoined brief outline of my antecedents as being primarily in the Roman Civil - and in the Ecclesiastical Laws, but none the less in the knowledge of modern Codifications and the ancient Saxon, and Feudal laws of Jurisprudence, the true and always highly valuable foundations of English Jurisprudence.
Having added to these attainments my practice under South Australian Real Property Act -
in
[Page 2]
in the preparation, promotion, and defense if which I have assisted - I may be permitted to say - that my opportunities for the theoretical and practical comparison of legal systems have been large and varied.
Your Council may, I hope, infer salutary results, if you will render my services available for the instruction of the rising generation during the remainder of my days.
In 1842, on my coming to this Colony, being introduced to His Honor Mr Justice Cooper by the then Advocate General, the late Mr Smillie, I produced my Diploma as Doctor of the Laws; but in the next following year I had to lament it's loss through a fire on the Sections I then farmed in Angus Park, through which I also lost the library of classic, legal, and historical Standard - works which I had brought with me.
I can, however, procure the Exemplification of my Diploma from the University of Kiel.
I also beg to produce two of my publications, (printed here) viz 1, The Voice of Reason and History on the Method of transferring & encumbering
Immoveable property & 1857 -
This treatise was written on the Eve of the introduction "Torrens Act" and is generally acknowledged to have promoted it considerably; it was printed at the Costs of the Hon. Geo. J. Angas, and became highly popular. /I have no Copies left/
[Page 3]
2. "Title by Registration"
in the Hanse Towns -
printed by Order if the Legislative Council
27 Nov. 1861 no 212 of parliamty papers 1861.Vol.111.
This last mentioned Treatise, containing a correct juridical exposition, /as well as translation/ of official Documents, was written at Mr Torren's request and the order for its printing obtained by him - It has been reviewed in English magazines, and its Contents quoted with approval.
I have the honor to be,
