He was born in Hobart, Tasmania in 1877 to William and Alice (née Sprent) Nicholas and educated at The Hutchins School, before earning his degree at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Nicholas was admitted to the bar of the Inner Temple in 1901 and returned to Australia in the same year, where he became a successful journalist writing for the Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Telegraph. From 1929-34 he was founding editor of the Australian Quarterly.[1] He was counsel advising the Royal Commission on the Constitution (1927–1929) and in December 1932 became a member of the Legislative Council of New South Wales as a member of the United Australia Party, remaining a member until 1934.[2] In 1933-1935 he was the commissioner in a New South Wales Royal Commission into the creation of new states, of which no results came.[3] He was appointed to the Supreme Court of New South Wales in 1935, and become Chief Judge in Equity in 1939, remaining so until 1948. He was Australian representative to the fourth meeting of UNESCO in 1949. He died of coronary vascular disease on 11 June 1953.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Ward|first1=John|title=Nicholas, Harold Sprent (1877–1953)|url=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/nicholas-harold-sprent-7838|website=adb.anu.edu.au|publisher=Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University|accessdate=1 February 2015}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Nicholas, Harold Sprent}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Mr Harold Sprent NICHOLAS (1877 - 1953)|url=http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/Members.nsf/1fb6ebed995667c2ca256ea100825164/dcd6eebbf05214e3ca256e77000b3b09?OpenDocument|website=parliament.nsw.gov.au|publisher=Parliament of NSW|accessdate=1 February 2015|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304095649/http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/Members.nsf/1fb6ebed995667c2ca256ea100825164/dcd6eebbf05214e3ca256e77000b3b09?OpenDocument|archivedate=4 March 2016|df=dmy-all}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Royal Commission of Inquiry Respecting Areas in the State of New South Wales Suitable for Self-government as States in the Commonwealth of Australia|url=http://search.records.nsw.gov.au/agencies/5194;jsessionid=4B6C1FA60EF6827F1B2BDBAB186CA701|website=search.records.nsw.gov.au|accessdate=1 February 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Hon.
