Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser: Tuesday 4th August 1891

The Newfoundland Fisheries: [Reuter’s Telegram: St. John’s, Monday] The Newfoundland Government has appointed Sir Robert Pinsent one of the puisne judges, as Commissioner to investigate the losses sustained by the people of St. George’s Bay during the last three years through the enforcement of the treaties with France, compensation being expected from the Imperial Government. The order for the closing of the lobster factories has been considerably relaxed. The cod fishing has been the best which has been experienced for the last 20 years, that in Labrador being especially good. The lobster fishery was a failure owing to the cold weather.

East and South Devon Advertiser: Saturday 25th July 1891

As a photographer Mr. Kelley, of Queen Street, Newton, has established an enviable reputation in this part of the country. Wherever his pictures have gone they have been the theme of admiration not only for the artistic manner in which they are turned out of hand, but also for their realistic and life-like appearances. It is therefore not surprising that he has found his business to be largely on the increase, and in consequence of which he has found it absolutely necessary to make extensive alterations and additions to his premises. Having acquired the right to build over Mr. Pinsent’s stores, at the rear of his house, he has had erected a suite of rooms and studio which will compare favourably with, if not surpass, any other in the kingdom. In fact, we are informed that the studio itself has only one larger in dimensions in the kingdom and that is in Leeds. … (continues) …
