The arrest of Sir Robert Thorburn, K.C.M.G., the Hop. A. W. Harvey, Mr. Donnelly, and Mr. Grieve, all directors of the defunct Union Bank of Newfoundland, and Mr. Pinsent, the manager thereof, may at first sight seem a drastic measure, but it is only right and proper that directors of banks or financial institutions, whether at home, abroad, or in our Colonies, should honour the trust of the shareholders by not attempting to “cook ” balance-sheets. It is to be hoped that the inquiry into the matter will purify the political atmosphere of Newfoundland.

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.

The news of the somewhat sudden death of Sir Robert J. Pinsent has been received with great regret by a large circle of friends in this country. Sir Robert was well known in colonial circles in London as one of the greatest authorities on the vexed Newfoundland Fishery Question, a subject he has always devoted considerable attention to, and has set forth his views in various pamphlets and in a Paper read before the Royal Colonial Institute on “Newfoundland, our Oldest Colony.” He was in his fifty-ninth year, being born in Newfoundland in. 1834. He was admitted to the Newfoundland Bar in 1856 and appointed to the Legislative Council three years later. In 1865 he was created a Queen’s Counsel and became Acting Attorney-General in 1869. In 1873 he was appointed Solicitor- General and became a Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland in 1880. Sir Robert Pinsent, who was twice married, died at the residence of his father-in-law, the Rev. F. Wingfield Homfray, Rector of Bintry, Norfolk. The death of Sir Robert creates a vacancy on the Newfoundland Bench of the value of $4,000 a year, which will doubtless be filled up locally by the promotion of Mr. D. W. Prowse, the Central District Court Judge.
