Note for interest

William Charles Wentworth, admitted in 1824 with Robert Wardell as foundation barristers in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, was accorded the distinction of wearing a silk gown in February 1835 - the first in private practice to be so recognised (Sydney Gazette, 12 February 1835). That was a 'patent of precedence' but did not entitle him to use the term 'King's Counsel'. Senior law officers customarily wore silk gowns in court in the early decades of the Supreme Court.
