Born in Halstead, Essex, England in 1840, Davies was the fifth eldest of the six boys and six girls of Ebenezer Davies and Ruth Bartlett. Two of the younger boys were educated at Geelong Grammar School. John was articled in 1852 and in 1863 was admitted to the Supreme Court of Victoria as a solicitor. He worked as a partner in a law firm for some years, and was President of the Law Institute of Victoria in 1885-86; he was made the group's first honorary life member in 1919.^[1]

Davies served in the Victorian Legislative Council from 1889 to 1919, representing first the South Yarra Province (1889–1895)^[2] then Melbourne Province (1899-1919).^[3] and was Minister for Health for two months in 1891. He was the Solicitor-General under both Allan McLean (1899–1900) and William Irvine (1902–1903), and later Irvine's Minister for Public Instruction (1903) and Attorney-General (1903–1904). Under Thomas Bent, he was both Attorney-General (1903–1909) and Solicitor-General (1904-1909), although John Mackey was briefly Solicitor-General in 1908. Davies was the President of the Victorian Legislative Council from 1910 to 1919.^[3] He resigned from the Parliament on 6 July 1919, after suffering a stroke and dies a few months later aged {{age|1840|2|8|1919|9|12}}.^[4]
