A bibliography and sketch of the judge's life, written probably by
his son, Robert G., appears in the "Bibliotheca Canadensis" (Ottawa,
1872). The humorous sketches, to which he chiefly owes his fame, were
contributed anonymously to the 'Nova Scotian,' then edited by Joseph
Howe. The paper is still in existence as a weekly edition of the
'Morning Chronicle' of Halifax. The judge was educated in old King's
College, Windsor. See _infra_, note 31.]
