Dever's List is the oldest List of Barristers at the Victorian Bar, having started operation in 1860. Foley's and Muir's (now Meldrum's) Lists began operation very shortly thereafter, with others beginning in the years following. In the last 30 years the number of Clerks has increased from 6 to 13 with the number of Barristers increasing from approximately 450 to 2200 as of 2020.

Theophilos Druce began operation as the Barristers' Clerk for this List in 1860. He was born in Liverpool, England, in 1841 and migrated to Australia in 1852. He lived at Emerald Hill and as a very young man established his Barristers' Clerk business at Temple Court.
Theophilos later moved his clerking business into Michies Building, which for some time was the main home of the Bar, and in 1881 Theophilos and most of his List moved to Selborne Chambers which had just been built.In 1892 Theophilos was joined by his son Frank Druce, who took over as the Clerk in 1911, upon Theophilos passing away.
