 dillicult in .so small a compass, to intelligently compress an accurate 
 account of .''ir FniUric's reniarkaMf lari'er, and the limited space 
 must be our apolo;;y. .\fter ailmissioii to the Newfoundland bar in 
 1S40, he visited England and further studied the law, returning 
 subsequently to St. John's, tor permanent practice, wliere he became 
 famous as a lawyer, having proraincmc in the most important suits 
 of his day. He was a nienibcr of the IjCgislaturo from the beginning

 duced and passed an act for representation in the Legislature, of that 
 part of the coa.st where the French exercise fishery rights, and he also 
 succeeded in obtaining the appointment of resident public officials 
 there. Ho also introduced and passed the Act for the exclusion of 
 " Pluccmen,"' from the Assembly, and as Premier, in 1808, supi)re3sed 
 the great evil of able bodied pauper relief. In 1878 her majesty con- 
 ferred upon him the distinction of K. C. M. 6., au honor more 
 noteworthy because the recipient was the first in the colony upon 
 whom it was bestowol. In the same year, after a long servitude in 
 the political and moral welfare of the colony, he was appointed Cliief 
 Justice of the Supreme Court, and has also been administrator of the 
 government, during the governor's absence, under royal comndssion, 
 for a like period. Sir Frederic's lady was Miss Eliza Bayley, daughter 
 of tlie late comptroller of customs.

 D. C. L., was boiu at rort-ily-Grave, Conception Bay, July 27, 
 18:)4, and comes from one of tlir oldest familii's of the colony. .Sir 
 Kobort was educated principally at tlie Harljor (irace grammar scliool. 
 under the Ititc Mr. Roddick, and In 1$.'jO began the study of law in tlie 
 oflice of Mr. Robinson, Q. C, (afterwards Sir Bryan). In 18-".") he 
 was admitted solicitor, and a year later barrister of the supreme court. 
 From his admission, he displayed such ability, attention, and 7.eal 
 in the discharge of his professional business, as to earn the highest 
 ' praise, not only from the judges of the court, but also his admiring 
 coiintrynum. In \S'tO he \va« appointed to the Legislative Council,

 an almost unanimous call from all classes of St. John's West 
 district, to represent tlioui, bat a vacancy occurring on the supreme 
 bench, he preferred the latter, which was due to his professional 
 standing. It would bo vain to attempt any adequate portrayal of his 
 atlndnistration of justice as judge, in this short sketch. His n.imc, 
 however, is a household word in the colony. Sir Robert was a man 
 of grand literary attainments; had written many valuable articles 
 for the leading periodicals of his day, and delivered lectures innumer- 
 able. His paper, "Newfoundland, Our Oldest Colony," reail at the 
 Royal Colonial Institute, of which he was a Fellow, in 1SS4, drew 
 (ortli tlio highest encomium of leading literary men and added greatly 
 to bis fame. In IS80 hu received, at the hands of the archbishop of 
 Canterbury, tlie honorary degree D. C. L., and in ISOO, had the distin- 
 guished title of knight conferred upon him. He died April 2S, \S'X), 
 sincerely regretted by the country, generally, who mourn the loss of 
 • talented native, who has adorned the highest judicial tribunal of his 
 native land by bis criulilion, independence, and impartiality.

 had the honor of being the first man elected in the colony under the 
 " Manhood Suffrage " act. Mr. Fox remained in the " Low er House " 
 during the electoral term expiring ISC3, when he was again elected, 
 having the additional honor of a seat in the executive council, and the 
 portfolio of Keceiver-Geiieral conferred upon him. Socially and per- 
 sonally Mr. Fox is .alike popular; a genial, afYable man, a good 
 speaker, and one of whom it may truly be said tliat " even his failings 
 lean to virtue's side." Naturally modest, yet sufliciently self-assertive 
 to make his way in the world, there are evidently positions of further 
 importance and prominence in store for htm.

 ment to endeavor to prevent the passage of the French Treaty Bill, in 
 which undertaking tlic delegation was successful. In 18!>i Mr. Harvey 
 was sent as sole representative of the colony to Madrid, to endeavor to 
 obtain a induction iu the Spanish duties on tisli, and wai successful. 
 Ho is a man of great energy, endeavoring always to carry out 
 successfully any enterjirise lie undertakes. Mr. Harvey claims that 
 the principal aims he has set before himself in his public life have 
 been the maintenanee of the colony's autonomy and the fostering 
 of the lisherics. To these two objects lie 1ms subordinated all other

 (Jeneral in the spring of the present year. Mr. Knight is, perhaps, as 
 well known as any othi'r man in the colony, and is universally 
 respecteil. He is a most entertaining, jovial companion. The '• bright 
 side of things" always presents itself to him, and as a consei|uence. if 
 we may employ a parado.x. he is younger tlian many men only half liis 
 age. Mr. Kniglit is a most useful man to his country, who cannot fail 
 to apprci'iate his wortli and reward him accordingly.

 many kindnesses shown him during tliat time by both Mr. Smith and

 more important one of manager of the large business of .Job fSrothers .

 for Harbor Grace district, and for four years held the position of 
 chairman of committee, but declineil election in 1S!U. Mr. Whiteway

 twenty-six years, carrying out a topograjiliical trigonometrical suivcy 
 of the inland, studying out Its geological teaturet, and he possesses 
 more minute and detailed knowledge of the colony than any other 
 man. Mr. Ilowley has written almost numberless reports, i>amphletg,

 of the Geological Society of London, Kng., IS.?;!, lie is a man of great 
 industry, having a keen interest in the welfare of his native l.ind, and 
 ever zealous in preserving the fame and dignity of Newfoundland and 
 Iier people. Mr. Howley Is rather reserved in disposition, yet frank, 
 kindiieartcd, and gentlemanly, one who "improves on acquaintance," 
 nnd holds a high place in the opinions of his fellow-citizens. As an 
 amateur i)liotographer he has taken, and possesses, a very large and val- 
 uable collection of photographs, representing all kinds of interesting 
 " scenes in Xewfoundland," and theii beauty would surprise those who 
 labor under the erroneous Idea that Newfoundland Is a land of " flsh

 most valuable work in correctly represeiiting the island and its 
 resources. Mr. Howley niariied Sliss Klizabcth Jane Firth.

 position of importance to another until his present occupation finds 
 him the trusted head of an extensive department of one of .St. John's

 Nellie Scarlett. In LS'il he was admitted a member of the Newfound-

 more stately cdillco already replaces it. Mr. Martin is a pleasant and 
 ready speaker, but to his juononnccd executive ability must be cred- 
 ited the principal successes of the society. His gentlemanly deportment 
 and generally genial manner at once impress with favor all who meet

 prominent official connection wltli the British society demands and 
 receives his almost exclusive active support. He is an ardent temper-

 NoveinlHT .">, lS-10, iind lias worked liis way intn a p<i>iti<in of 
 pruniinenc'u by llie lialiits of iniliistiv, jiractkal talents, and devotion 
 to duty, lie was educated in liis native town under tlic late Mr. 
 Kelly, a man of eultnre and ability, wbo lias filled the iiniiortant 
 position of iiispertor of Catholic seiiools. The foundation of Mr. 
 O'lteiliy's conimereial training was also laid at riacentia, after wliirli 
 he went to .St. I'lerre, entering; the nieiiMiitile house of Pippin A 
 Bros. Ho subsequently came to .St. John's, where he was alternately 
 clerk in the employ of the late Kdwaid Smith and Baird Bros. In 
 1S80 he coinineneed business for himself, and at present carries on an 
 ever increasing trade as general dealer in (jroceries, provisions, etc. 
 Ills name shows him to bo Iii.«;h by blood and Catholic in civcd. He 
 comes from the old Celtic stock, and ylories in the fact that his ances- 
 tors dwelt in the green fields of Erin. He is actively connected with 
 several assiiciations, sacred anil sc'■ll^^r, and has been a nuMuber of 
 the Benevolent Irish Society foi eigliiceu years, duiin'4 which tinv 
 - In* has lUlcd tile positions of cha)im:'M I'l' charitv. cliairrr".; of .•■■li'."'!<. 
 and treasurer. Ho li.as also seen nuicli of the worUI, having travelled ' 
 in many lanils on both sides of the .Vtlanlic. He has maile a tour of 
 the Ilrilish Isles three times, and seen much of Canada and the Vnited 
 States. On his last Kurojican trip, in company with his wife In !' ' 
 lie hail the privilege of a special audience with the Holy Father, i>v- 
 received from tlic Tope's hands nichils of hoii->r, hciicj^ the on'\ 
 representative fi»>i!i Nuwfoiiiidl.iiel at Bome In the Jubilee year. 
 Though born in Ne«loiiiidlaiid, he is a wanii sympathizer witli the 
 "Old I.and" in all her struggles for national rights, and h n fie in.ntly 
 championed her cause in elocnicnt language from the piildle jda'- 
 forni. He was elected treasurer for the rarnell defence fiiml, and 
 had the satlst'action of presenting the iiioiie> in person nt tl.e 
 Mansion House on one of his visits to Unblin.

 known as the "Kin;; of 'I'ailois.'' Ho was lioin Dec. 2l', ISV), anil idii- 
 catcil at the piihlic scdiools. His juisunt position and standing in the 
 coninmnitj- me duo entirely to hi.-, own well recojjnizcd hahitsof pluck, 
 Industry, and sobriety. Api)renthed to the tailoring trade at a time 
 when to work on the boanl was by no means a bed of ro.-ics, he 
 nuickly mastered the inlric.ieies of the business, and in due time 
 started in a small way for himseif. By dint of hard work, eoupted 
 with unswerving attention to his eustomers, ho soon won a name and 
 trade, whieh has gone on increasing ever since, till to-day the "King" 
 is a synonym for all thai is upright, maidy, and worthy of emulation, 
 and his tailoring business is the largest in the city. To say that he is 
 poi)ular by no means fully conveys the e.xtent of the regard in which 
 he is hehl by his fellows. Mr. Chaplin has been u total abstainer all 
 bis life, actively engaged in all elTor.ls for the suppression or ilimin- 
 ■ isbing of inlemjierance, and a Oooil Templar of twenty-two yeats^ 
 sl.uiding. In the latter urg-.ini/.ation he iias lilled every olHce at the ■ 
 disposition of his subordinate lodge, as also the grand lodge ollices up 
 to counsellor. lie is a past junior warden of Avalon Lodge Free 
 JIasons, and also a Itoyal Arch Chapter man, and the fact that he has 
 not hehl more exaltcil positiiuis in those organizations is due entirely 
 to bis own moilesty, as otherwise he should have had these additional 
 boni>rs conferred upon him. Since the lire. In whieh he was a severe 
 sufferer, be has erected a substantial business place on Water street, 
 which is at once an ornament to the city, and cre<litable to his push 
 and business ability. Like most other successful men he is married, 
 his wife being Miss Amelia .lane liowden.

 no better known host is to lie found than the erstwhile proprietor of 
 the old "Atlantic Hotel.'' In ISS'.i he went out of the hotel business, 
 erected a very larye and coninindious buildin;;, and coinineneed a new 
 enterprise as auctioneer and fjencral coiiiinission nierchant. He had 
 the hii'sest and by fur the best adapted }ireiiiises tor such a trade in .St.

 to wliieli, a few years before his death, in IS'^ii, he added the kin- 
 dred business of "liuihh^rs' supplies," afterwards known as "Camp- 
 bell's supply store." lie has eontraeted for and built many of the 
 larjier edifices in the eily, amongst whieh may be mentioned the St. 
 Andrew's I'resbyterian ehiirch, George Street Methodist ehurcli, and 
 (strange contrast) the .St. .Tolin's penitentiary. He has erected a large 
 number of buildings for the government, such as "Dodding Head," 
 "liiiriu," and "Wadliam Island" llghtliouses, and otliers which ni'eil 
 not here be mentioned. Mr. Campbell's work was always faithfully 
 performed as an honest man, at a time when it was not "business" 
 to jiul inferior stock in wmk whose specific.itions demandeil the best. 
 Iteeaiise of his well known and duly recognized principles of honesty, 
 his name Is remcniliiied resjiectfully, and he is pointed to as worthy 
 of eiiiii':'lii'ti, by men slv.rtiiig out in life. Jlr, C;!ini)';t.!l -'\ m m 
 exceptionally "easy" man, but possessed the pluck and courage 
 I'cquired in the "battle of life," whieh were alw.\vs used as occasion 
 rcijuiicd. lie was a nieniher'of the Metliodist chinch, benevolent and 
 kind to those who needed the application of such virtues, and has 
 undoubtedly left bchinil him that "good name which is better than 
 great riches." Mr. Campbell's wife was Miss Jane Cole Herder, 
 Devon, Kng,, and his s.in Colin continues the extensive trade which 
 the father successfully launcheil.
