Leamington Spa Courier: Saturday 26th April 1890

Magazines for April: [second notice]: Nineteenth Century … The Hon. Justice Pinsent has an article on “The French Fishery claims in Newfoundland,” and writes informingly upon the unromantic and unsentimental question whether the French people have a right to fish for lobsters in the seas and upon the shores of a great part of Newfoundland, and whether, if they have, they may exclude British subjects from participation in the same business. This is, at least, the last phase of the vexed controversy regarding the construction of certain ancient treaties between England and France. …

Morning Post: Tuesday 13th September 1887

Newfoundland and the Fisheries Commission: St. John’s Newfoundland, Sept. 11th. The Newfoundland Press, alluding to the Anglo-American Fisheries Commission, demands that the Colony shall be represented as well as Canada. The newspapers urge that Newfoundland has vital interests at stake in the matter of the fisheries and declare that a self-governing people will resent having its affairs dealt with by a tribunal in which it has no voice. The grand jury of the St. George’s Bay District has made a strong presentment to Judge Pinsent regarding the threatened French competition in the herring fishery. The judge commented on the notifications of the French commanders that they would not allow the Newfoundland people to take herring on the west coast, and repudiated their assumption that the investiture of a British official with authority on the French shore was irregular.
