Colonies and India: Saturday 6th May 1893

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.
