The Star: Tuesday 10th January 1893

Sir Robert Pinsent, Chief Justice of Newfoundland, who, with Lady Pinsent, is at present on a visit to this country, is, according to the Morning Leader, undoubtedly the best living authority on the Fisheries question: Nor is that surprising. The subject has been much to the fore in recent years, and the Chief Justice has had it forced upon his attention, whether he liked it or not. But Sir Robert Pinsent has both studied and mastered it and written several valuable commentaries upon it. Sir Robert is a native of the colony in which he now occupies so high a legal position, his father having been a judge in the Court of Labrador. Called to the Bar in 1856, Sir Robert soon drifted into politics, became Solicitor-General and subsequently Attorney-General, and was raised to the judicial Bench in 1880. He is in his 59th year.
