Rogers was temporarily reappointed on 29 January 1878, but to different counties, those previously held by Charles Skinner. His reappointment was challenged in the Supreme Court on the basis that the judges had not validly been removed. The Supreme Court held that County Court judges held office at pleasure and the Governor in council could remove them without cause. The government refused to give County Court judges security of tenure and Rogers resigned from 29 June 1878, on a pension. Rogers returned to the bar and was appointed a Queen's Counsel on 2 July 1878. Rogers, was awarded a Master of Arts by University of Melbourne, was appointed a Law Lecturer at that University in 1878.
