Description: Shea, who now controlled the paper, became a member of the Legislature in 1848 and, except for the period from 1869 to 1873, served until his death in 1913. Initially cautious about reciprocal free trade with the United States, by 1856 he felt it would be a remedy to many of the Colony's economic problems. The Newfoundlander was the chief opposition paper during the Hoyles administration but in 1865, Shea was appointed Financial Secretary in the Carter cabinet. The Newfoundlander had by this time become the principal Confederate newspaper and, with its old rival, the Express, a major opponent of the Charles Fox Bennett administration. The Chronicle, felt to be Bennett's mouthpiece, was the main adversary until 1881 and, after that, the Evening Telegram. Shea became Colonial Secretary in the second Carter administration and enthusiastically supported the railway. The paper opposed the New Party and supported the Whiteway government until it ceased publication at the end of 1884.

| Thursday October 22, 1840 | Boatwreck | Melancholy Boatwreck and Loss of Life - We regret to state that on the night of Wednesday last, a boat (that would carry about 100 qtls. round fish) belonging to Mr. ROBERT ANDREWS, of Port-de-Grave, and bound hence for that place with supplies, was totally lost, having struck on the Biscayan rock near Cape St. Francis, and shortly after gone down. There were seven persons in the boat, four of whom succeeded in getting upon the rock, leaving the son of Mr. ANDREWS, his daughter (a girl of 12 or 13 years of age) and one of the crew on board. Sail was then made upon the boat, but she had not proceeded far when she was seen to founder, and the cries of the unhappy sufferers were distinctly heard by the surviving parties. It was a moonlight night, and there being only a moderate breeze, the accident is likely to have arisen from the man at the helm not having kept a sufficient look-out, or more probably having fallen asleep. However it happened, it is a melancholy disaster, and should operate as a warning to others of the necessity of precaution and vigilance upon occasions where we apprehend too much confidence, if not, carelessness, commonly prevails. |

| Monday April 27, 1846 | Casualty | In the list of casualities in the recent engagement of our armies in the East, we observe the name of Lieut.

LAW, commanding Royal Newfoundland Companies, and one whom we remember to have been a mere boy by his father's side, a few years ago. He has already at the age of three and twenty earned very distinguished laurels, having fought in the four tremendous conflicts with the Sikhs, and born the evidence of severe wounds to attest his valour, in the last and most fearful struggle. We sincerely trust that the next intelligence will be such as to relieve the anxious apprehensions his friends must naturally feel under the present circumstances, though with their fears may well be mingled a sensation of no ordinary pride at the honors so early won, of their young and gallant relative. |

| Monday October 19, 1846 | Coroner's Inquest | On Saturday evening last, before Aaron Hogsett, Esq, and a Coroner's Jury, upon view of the body of MICHAEL MORRISSEY, of St. John's, fisherman. It appeared by the evidence of Doctors Renouf, Kielley, Shea and Martin, who had all attended the deceased before his death & almost immediately after two or three wounds had been inflicted upon him by a person named TIMOTHY RYAN, with a hatchet, that they were of such a nature as to cause death, particularly that on the right side of the head which fractured the scull - and which fracture appeared to be produced by the blow of a blunt and heavy instrument, such as the pole of a hatchet. The other wounds appeared to be inflicted with a sharp instrument - most likely with the edge of the hatchet made use of. The whole evidence before the Jury being so clear as to the malice and deliberation of the ACT, they did not long hesitate in finding a verdict of "Wilful Murder" against TIMOTHY RYAN - who was committed for trial accordingly. |

| Thursday October 29, 1846 | Death | Amongst the catastrophes of the gale of the 19th ult., we regret to have to record the premature death of Mr. THOMAS MAYNE, of Bonne Bay.

| Monday November 2, 1846 | Coroner's Inquest | At an early hour yesterday morning before Aaron Hogsett, Esq., and a Coroner's Jury on the wharf of Messrs. Baine, Johnston & Co., merchants, upon view of the body of JOHN MURPHY, late of Placentia, fisherman. It appeared upon the evidence of JOHN SAMPSON, that the deceased and himself had been drinking on shore, but very little. - That a little after gun-fire, witness went into the fore-cuddy of the boat laying at the head of the wharf of Messrs. Baine, Johnston & Co. The deceased accompanied him with a candle, a lanthorn to his bed in the fore-cuddy, then went oaft to the after-cuddy, believes, to bed. Witness was called sometime in the night when the afterpart of the boat was all on fire. There was only fish in the after cabin. The deceased MURPHY was in the habit of sticking lighted candles against the boards of the cuddy. (The Coroner remarked he would make the most public use of this as a warning not only for the observation of life; but as two fine vessels at the same wharf, as well as the premises, and many other habitations besides might have been consumed.) PATRICK KOUGH, late of Bonavista Bay, sworn - he saw the fire first in the morning when turning through the narrows. Has no doubt that the fire was caused by negligence and that the deceased came to his death in consequence. Verdict of Jury accordingly. |
