An anecdote tells of a printing plant horse used to power the belt driven shaft that drove the presses. After ten years the horse retires on a pension and spends its remaining days walking endlessly around a tree in a field.
A tribute recalls John Hoyles Boone as a brilliant Newfoundland advocate with a keen legal mind, exceptional memory, and a gift for humor. He combined sharp dry wit with deep knowledge, earning respect from judges, colleagues, and clients while balancing circuit work and a rising Assembly role.
A Newfoundland legal reminiscence recounts Judge Hayward and Boone in a nonjury hearing where Boone mocked the process and entertained the judge with a panegyric on Forodo. Tales of prior payoffs, clever boaxing of prosecutors, and long solitary practice emerge alongside clergy, judges, and early law in the 19th century.
