BiographyHistory

Charles Allan Sherard was the son of Charles W. S. Sherard. He was educated at Geelong Grammar School and the University of Melbourne. He served articles in Ballarat and became a solicitor. Sherard practised in Ballarat, Horsham, and Charlton until 1896. He then moved to Western Australia. In 1898, he became taxing master at the Supreme Court in Western Australia; in 1902-1903, he became acting master. In 1903, Sherard was appointed the first district registrar of the High Court of Australia at Perth.

E. Morris Miller's Australian Literature From Its Beginnings to 1935 (1940) says Sherard was a 'Sometime Victorian legal practitioner' and that his works were 'Quoted by Sladen in A Century of Australian Song, 1888, and in Australian Poets, 1788-1888, and mentioned by Turner and Sutherland in The Development of Australian Literature, 1898' (p.252)
