Inscription
1816-1888
Born in Halifax and called to the bar in 1840, Henry represented Antigonish in the Nova Scotia Assembly as a Liberal (1841-57), and as a Conservative (1857-67). An ardent advocate of Confederation, he attended the Charlottetown, Quebec and London Conferences. Defeated by an anti-confederate electorate in 1867, he returned to his law practice until 1875 when he was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada. His legal decisions were distinguished by their plain common sense and impatience with legal niceties. He died in Ottawa.
Avocat, Père de la Confédération, né à Halifax, Henry fut admis au barreau en 1840. Il siégea à l'Assemblée de la Nouvelle-Écosse comme libéral de 1841 à 1857 et comme conservateur de 1857 à 1867 et assista aux Conférences de Charlottetown, de Québec et de Londres. Un ardent partisan de la Confédération, il fut défait aux élections de 1867 et reprit alors l'exercice du droit. Nominé à la Cour suprême du Canada en 1875, Henry se fit remarquer par la sagacité de ses jugements et sa largeur d'esprit. Il est mort à Ottawa.
