    Notes:

    ROBERT WETMORE HANNINGTON.

     One of the most able barristers in Vancouver and one of the most public-spirited and progressive men in the city is Robert Wetmore Hannington, practicing at the bar of British Columbia as a member of the firm of Harris, Bull, Hannington & Mason. He was born in Dorchester, New Brunswick, May 22, 1868, and is a son of Hon. Daniel L. and Emily M. (Wetmore) Hannington, the former late premier of New Brunswick and senior judge of the supreme court of that province.
     Robert W. Hannington acquired his early education in the grammar schools of Dorchester and afterward entered the University of New Brunswick, from which he was graduated in 1888 with the degree of B. A. Having determined upon a legal career, after three years study in the office of his father, he became a student at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, attending in 1891 and 1892, and in the latter year was called to the New Brunswick bar. Shortly after he practiced at St. John for five years and in 1897 moved to Nelson, British Columbia, where until 1908 he engaged in general practice, first with S. Taylor as a member of the firm of Taylor & Hannington and later with Judge Galliher under the firm name of Galliher & Hannington. In 1908 Mr. Hannington moved to Vancouver and the firm of Russell, Russell & Hannington was formed in the city, the association continuing until 1911, when Mr. Hannington returned to Nelson. However, he remained only three months and then returning to Vancouver, aided in the organization of the present firm of Harris, Bull, Hannington & Mason. This is one of the strongest law firms in the city, all of its members being able, brilliant and resourceful men, and it is connected through an extensive and representative patronage with a great deal of notable litigation. In Vancouver Mr. Hannington is known as a strong and able practitioner, well versed in the underlying principles of law and possessing the incisive and analytical qualities of mind necessary to make his knowledge practical and effective. He has won a number of notable legal victories and has been carried forward into important relations with the public life of the city, his signal ability gaining him recognition in official circles. In 1912 he was appointed commissioner for the government to investigate the conditions existing in the Vancouver General Hospital and in the same year was appointed counsel to revise the Vancouver city by-laws. In both of these important capacities he accomplished the work in hand with thoroughness and dispatch, adding something to the respect and esteem in which his name is held in Vancouver.
     On the 16th of August, 1911, in St. John, New Brunswick, Mr. Hannington as united in marriage to Miss Louisa M. Skinner, a daughter of Robert C. and Elizabeth C. Skinner, the former for several years judge of the probate court of St. John. Mr. Hannington is a member of the Anglican church and fraternally is connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He belongs to the Vancouver Club and to the Press Club in Vancouver and is well known in the affairs of the Nelson Club of Nelson. His political allegiance is given to the conservative party and while he is not an active politician he is essentially public-spirited, interested in the welfare of the city and always eager to do his utmost to promote civic growth. In a profession where advancement depends entirely upon superior merit and ability he has made steady and rapid progress and his record is a credit to the bar of British Columbia which numbers among its representatives so many able and brilliant men.
