Newfoundland: The Late Sir Robert Pinsent: – Much regret has been occasioned among all classes in the colony by the news of the sudden death in England of Sir Robert Pinsent, Judge of the Supreme Court, and the removal of so well-known a public man cannot fail to have considerable influence upon the affairs of the colony. It is considered not unlikely that his successor may be one of the leading members of the present Opposition, whose disappearance from political life would considerably strengthen the chances of Sir William Whiteway and Mr. Bond in the General Election next November.

In his address to the grand jury of St. George’s Bay announcing that he had been empowered to investigate fishermen’s claims for compensation from the Imperial Government, Sir Robert Pinsent, of the Newfoundland Supreme Court, said: “I can only say, as I told you before, that, slow though the process may be, in the face of difficulties and complications into which it is difficult for you to enter, protection and relief will, I am convinced, yet come from the great Mother Land, our Gracious Sovereign , her advisers and her Parliament, so that the rich and varied  industrial resources of this part of the colony may be placed in the position for which God and nature manifestly designed them.” But, as a St. John’s correspondent points out, the fishermen have been receiving similar promise and assurances of relief for years and hope deferred is making their hearts sick.  Lord Knutsford’s Act, the fruit of the past three years’ agitation, has brought them no nearer than before to a solution of their difficulties.

Newfoundland Fisheries: Justice Sir Robert Pinsent, who was appointed by the Newfoundland Government as Commissioner to investigate the losses sustained by the people of St. George’s Bay during the last three years through the enforcement of the treaties with France, addressing the grand jury of the district said that the French had no right to prevent the inhabitants selling bait to Americans, and, further, had no right under the treaties to establish lobster factories on the coast. The treaties did not forbid British lobster factories if they did not interfere with the French cod fishery. Sir Robert concluded his address by urging a loyal observance of the modus vivendi.
