SPAINS have been solicitors in Australia continuously since 1838 when William Spain, Solicitor of Cowes in England, was given a commission by Queen Victoria to settle the Maori land disputes. He then migrated to Sydney and became the first Commissioner of Police before reverting to private practice.
