Robert Weatherbe
Sir Robert Linton Weatherbe (April 1834 – 27 April 1915) was a Canadian lawyer and judge. He served as Chief Justice of Nova Scotia from 1904 to 1907. Born in Bedeque, Prince Edward Island, Weatherbe studied at Acadia College in Nova Scotia and settled there. A Liberal supporter, he was appointed to the bench on 7 October 1878 by Mackenzie Bowell, a 'midnight judge' appointed just before Bowell handed over power. Weatherbe was unpopular with some, and there were attempts to remove him, but they failed. He was knighted in 1906 and retired in 1907.
