by Charles II a baronet of Nova Scotia, and again appointed governor. In

claims to the territory. Afterwards settled in Boston, finally returning

Came to Canada, and practised law in Montreal. Appointed recorder of
Rupert's Land, 1838, and arrived in the Red River Settlement the
following year. Also legal adviser to the governor of Assiniboia. His
arbitrary conduct made him extremely unpopular, especially among the
French half-breeds, and he was compelled to retire from the bench in
1849. The following year reinstated, to try a complicated case of
defamatory conspiracy, but the verdict proved so unsatisfactory that
Governor Caldwell procured his permanent removal, and had him appointed
clerk of the court. Resigned this office in 1854, and returned to
