Sir James Winter, formerly Attorney-General, and lately Leader of the Opposition in the Newfoundland Legislature, has been appointed to the position of Assistant Judge of the Supreme Court, vacant by the death of Sir Robert J. Pinsent. The new Judge has long been a leader of the Newfoundland Bar and has on several important occasions served the Colony with distinction. He represented Newfoundland at the Fisheries Conference at Washington in 1887, and in 1892 he was counsel in the celebrated case of Baird v. Walker, which arose out of the closing of a lobster factory by Captain Walker, of the cruiser Emerald.
