The difficulty of this rule lies in its application. The courts often feel unable to deny to a legally qualified medical practitioner the capacity to speak for all sorts of questions clearly requiring the knowledge of a specialist, which his colleagues would unhesitatingly say he did not possess. Sometimes in Australia cases are tried at places where true expert knowledge is not readily available. Indeed, even at the capital of the Commonwealth, courts have experienced this difficulty. But they have not forgotten that among the blind, the one-eyed are kings.

The paper from which these quotations are taken was delivered in Melbourne on 30 September 1933. On 31 January and 1 February 1933 Bertram Edward Porter was tried on indictment for murder at Canberra before Dixon J. sitting in the original jurisdiction of the High Court under section 30B of the Judiciary Act 1903-1932. The defence was insanity: R. v. Porter (1933) 55 C.L.R. 182.
