Derby Daily Telegraph: Wednesday 12th August 1891

The Newfoundlanders have evidently made up their minds not to kick against the pricks, and, to vary the proverb, are going to dispense with the kicks and secure all the half-pence they can. Information has just reached me that Sir Robert Pinsent, the well-known Newfoundland judge, has been sent by the Government of the colony to inquire into the injuries inflicted on trade at St. George’s Bay and to assess compensation. The lobster export trade has not been flourishing of late amidst the storm and stress of Anglo-French negotiations, the decrease alleged being something like £50,000. Out of whose pocket is this compensation to come? The Imperial Government’s, of course; the British taxpayer is the milch-cow to which they all come. As a cynical Newfoundland newspaper writer puts it, if the Britisher insists on dumping the French where they are not wanted, they will have to pay for their lodging.
