Colonies and India: Saturday 5th September 1891

News to hand from Newfoundland states that the Commission presided over by Sir Robert Pinsent closed at St. George’s Bay on September 1, after six days’ investigation. The evidence showed high-handed proceedings on the part of the French during the past three years. In 1889 the people were prevented by Commander Russell from prosecuting the herring fishery. In 1890 the French ordered their nets to be taken up and prohibited them from fishing. In 1891 the French forbade the sale of herrings to Americans, and themselves gave only 40c. a barrel. The losses were shown to be not less than $20,000, and, after a careful examination by Judge Pinsent, the claims made were fully established. The grand jury’s presentment set forth as grievances that the lobster factories had been closed, that the people had been deprived of the herring fishery, and that their nets had been robbed by Frenchmen before their eyes.

Colonies and India: Saturday 8th August 1891

A telegram from St. John’s says that the Government of Newfoundland has appointed Sir Robert Pinsent, one of the puisne judges of the Colony, as Commissioner to investigate the losses sustained by the people of St. George’s Bay during the last three years through the enforcement of treaties with France, compensation being expected from the Imperial Government. Sir Robert has a thorough knowledge of the whole question, and his appointment will no doubt be hailed with satisfaction by both sides.
