GRO0911 Devonport: William Swain Pinsent: 1843 – 1920

Imperial Interviews: V. Newfoundland: II French v. English: … [major editorial] … Newfoundlanders have a Magna Charta of their own in the despatch of the Secretary of State after the close of the Crimean War, in which he said that “The consent of Newfoundland is regarded as the essential preliminary to any modification of their territorial or maritime rights.” They point to this with pride as settling the question of the territorial rights of France for ever: And their contention is borne out by the most respected judge in the island, Mr. Justice Pinsent, in reply to a presentment of the grand jury of Bay St. George at the Supreme Court on Circuit, September 5th last. In this presentment they called his lordship’s attention to the fact that the result of the passing of the Bait Bill had already been to draw the attention of the French shipowners to Bay St. George, and that they feared that the French would assume territorial rights as well as practically ruin the inhabitants by catching all the bait they wanted instead of purchasing it as before. Mr. Justice Pinsent in reply observed (I copy this from his own manuscript), “That under the Treaty of Utrecht the whole of the island was declared to be the rightful territory of Great Britain, and to be under its absolute sovereignty. The terms of this treaty in this respect have never been abrogated or abandoned. I have never understood for a moment that the Crown has ever in any degree allowed any Sovereign or proprietorial claim on the part of France. The easement reserved to the French by treaty is no more a secession of sovereignty or dominion than are the privileges conferred by treaty upon the United States of America. The presence of British ships of war, of civil officers, and the right of popular legislative representation enjoyed by the people of this coast and its subjection to taxation and Customs regulations, with the presence here of the Supreme Court of this island and its dependencies, with jurisdiction over the adjacent seas and with cognizance of offences committed upon the banks of Newfoundland, all attest this position, which is in no wise annulled by the permissive presence of a French naval force for the discipline and protection of their own marine.” This is absolutely conclusive, and it is accordingly certain that the French will never become possessed, unless the fortune of war should give it to them as it took it away, of any portion of the Newfoundland coast. They had not the right by treaty, even if they had, they have allowed it to lapse by default, and now they are clearly not inclined to insist upon it. A pamphlet upon the subject which takes on a semi-official character from being handed to me by the French Consul as an accurate expression of French views, declares this openly and concludes with the mild but significant reproach ” Pour obtenir la cession d’un droit, c’est un mauvais point de depart que d’ennier l’existence.’ The question of territorial rights being thus disposed of, we come to the second question of French and English fishing relations that is to the Bait Bill. … [continues] …

GRO0747 Hennock: Robert John Pinsent: 1834 – 1893

Imperial Interview: V. Newfoundland – II French v. English: (From our Travelling Commissioner): St. John’s Newfoundland, Oct. 1887: Twelve miles off the south coast of Newfoundland lie two or three little islands, the two largest ones separated by a sand bank. The principal one of the groups is nothing but a rock sticking up out of the Atlantic; a thin soil covers it in places but never deeply enough for a decent tree to take root in, and its whole aspect is cold and inhospitable. … … (detailed discussion of St. Pierre and Miquelon and the French right to fish off Newfoundland) … … the Relations of French and English with regard to Newfoundland fall under two heads: 1^st, the French Shore Question; 2^nd, the Bait Question … … (discussion of treaties) ….  “The consent of Newfoundland is regarded as the essential preliminary to any modification of their territorial or maritime rights.” They point to this with pride as settling the question of the territorial rights of France forever. And their contention is borne out by the most respected judge in the island, Mr. Justice Pinsent, in reply to a presentment of the grand jury of Bay St. George at the Supreme Court on Circuit, September 5^th last … … Mr. Justice Pinsent in reply observed (I copy this from his own manuscript), “That under the Treaty of Utrecht the whole of the island was declared to be the rightful territory of Great Britain, and to be under its absolute sovereignty.
