They landed in Otago in 1862 and Denniston Sr. took up a run Oteramika in Southland. His father died at his house at Fendalton, Christchurch, in 1897. Denniston Jr saw service in various capacities, including the civil service and that of the Bank of New South Wales, and then became a law student with William Downie Stewart. He was admitted to the New Zealand Bar at Dunedin by Justice Chapman on 4 August 1874. For some months he practised at Wanganui in partnership with George Hutchison, afterwards a prominent member of the House of Representatives. In 1875, he became associated with Downie Stewart in Dunedin and the firm was subsequently joined by Allan Holmes, son of the Hon. Mathew Holmes, MLC, under the style of Stewart, Holmes and Denniston, and acquired an extensive practice in Otago. Court work was undertaken by Denniston, whose name was connected with most of the important civil and criminal cases in the province. In 1889, he was elevated to the bench on the death of Justice Alexander James Johnston and was sworn in by His Honour Sir James Prendergast, Chief Justice of New Zealand, in February 1889. Denniston was knighted on 21 February 1917 upon his retirement from the bench.
