Matriculating
to the University of Sydney in 1865, Barton studied Classics under
Professor Charles Badham, engaged in debates held at the Mechanics
School of Arts, and cultivated his love of cricket. In 1868 he graduated
with a Bachelor of Arts in Classics and two years later received
a Masters of Art. On the 21st of December 1871 Barton
was admitted to the Bar. The following year he became engaged to
Jane (Jean) Mason Ross. Barton, however, was slow to establish his
legal career and financial insecurity prevented the two from marrying
until 1877.
