Newfoundland: The Late Sir Robert Pinsent: – Much regret has been occasioned among all classes in the colony by the news of the sudden death in England of Sir Robert Pinsent, Judge of the Supreme Court, and the removal of so well-known a public man cannot fail to have considerable influence upon the affairs of the colony. It is considered not unlikely that his successor may be one of the leading members of the present Opposition, whose disappearance from political life would considerably strengthen the chances of Sir William Whiteway and Mr. Bond in the General Election next November.
