Charles St Julian
Charles James Herbert de Courcy St Julian (10 May 1819 – 26 November 1874) was a journalist, newspaper owner-editor and the first Chief Justice of Fiji. St Julian's obituary records that he was born in France but other sources suggest London in 1818. He claimed to be the son of Thomas St Julian, French army officer, and his wife Marian, ''née'' Blackwell.

St Julian emigrated to Adelaide in 1837, proceeding in 1839 to Sydney, where he wrote for '' The Australasian Chronicle'', and subsequently for the '' Commercial Journal and Advertiser''. In 1843 he joined the staff of ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', which he left four years later for '' The Sydney Chronicle'', afterwards known as the ''Free Press''. In 1849 he rejoined ''The Sy ...
