Ellis was called to the bar in 1805 and then went into practice. He made his mark quickly, apparently, for in May 1809, when approving the nomination of him by Brigadier-General Nightingall, then Judge-Advocate in the Colony. He and his family boarded the H.M.S. Dromedary on 22 May 1809 New South Wales and landed in Sydney. Jeffery Hart Bent (1781-1852), went before the bar in 1806.
