- 1866, Percy Hetherington Fitzgerald, “The Second Mrs. Tillotson”, in Charles Dickens, editor, All the Year Round, volume 15, page 123:
  Some were leaning against the window-frame with their barristerial feet up on the sill, others talking to short wiry monastic-looking men, the whole of which represented an eminent counsel receiving "instructions" from a local agent.
- 2015 September 8, Richard Ackland, “The Australian bar is going backwards. Shouldn't there be more women silks?”, in The Guardian‎^[1]:
  This rush for finer barristerial plumage accompanies the rekindling monarchist sentiment under the Abbott government, which gives the cringeworthy impression that Australia is still a branch of little England, full of 10 pound poms and God Save the Queen.
