Dr. Stuart, who had been an intimate friend of his, proposed that I should go with him to Kingston, and attend the Grammar School there kept by Mr. Strachan, who afterwards moved to Cornwall, of which he had been appointed Rector. So at that early period of life, I had two excellent examples. One, Dr. Stuart, universally esteemed and respected, in whose family it was impossible to be - even as a child, as I was - attending constantly to his remarks as to what an honest man could do, and could not do, without benefiting by it. The other, Mr. Strachan, - to the inestimable advantage of receiving instruction under whom I feel perfectly certain I owe the success I had at an early period of life." from page 5 & 6 of "Life of Sir John Beverly Robinson, Bart., Chief Justice of Upper Canada.

He "Within a few weeks of his settling in Cornwall, Strachan was in touch with the parents of some of the boys whom he had been teaching in Kingston to suggest that they be sent to him to continue their schooling. Among those who came were John* and William Macaulay*. Another was a fatherless 12-year-old lad, John Beverley ROBINSON, recently in the household of John Stuart, soon to be almost an adopted son of Strachan, and later to be his closest and dearest friend. In 1804 Strachan had more than 20 students and by 1808 about 40, a figure that remained fairly constant down to 1812. The boys came from all parts of the province, and were the sons of leading figures in government, business, and the professions. Strachan deliberately set out to train them as potential rulers of the next generation." per Dictionary of Cdn. BIOs - John Strachan. in November 1803 at Cornwall, Upper Canada.³ He "Two months after leaving Cornwall, i.e. in October 1807, my father entered as a student the office of Mr. D'Arcy Boulton, then Solicitor General of Upper Canada, and remained with him three years." from page 22 of "Life of Sir John Beverly Robinson, Bart., Chief Justice of Upper Canada.

He "I was fortunate also in the next step I took. If I have any merit in getting on harmoniously with my brethren at the Bar and on the Bench, I owe it in a certain degree to having been at an early period of life, when I commenced my legal studies, under the care of the late Judge Boulton, who was then Solicitor General of the province. On a journey to England he was taken prisoner by the French, and it became necessary for me to complete under some one else the period for which I was articled as a law sutdent. I then placed myself under Colonel Macdonnell - Acting Attorney-General and Aide-de-Camp to General Brock - who fell at Queenston, a most honourable and high-minded man." from page 6 of "Life of Sir John Beverly Robinson, Bart., Chief Justice of Upper Canada.

He "The Bloody Assize in Upper Canada was a series of trials held at Ancaster during the War of 1812. The trials resulted in treason convictions and subsequent execution of Upper Canada residents who were found to have violently aided the enemy.
History: During the war, a number of settlers from the Niagara and London Districts took up arms against their neighbours in aid of American raiders.[1] Many were American born and later fled to the United States. In 1813, several groups were taken prisoner. In 1814, nineteen people were charged with high treason and charges were also filed against a number of persons then living outside Canada. In May of that year, a special court was established at Ancaster and a series of trials were held in June. The judges presiding over these trials were Chief Justice Thomas Scott, Justice William Dummer Powell, and Justice William Campbell. The prosecutor was the attorney general for the province, John Beverley Robinson. Fifteen men were convicted and sentenced to death. Eight were hanged at the Burlington Heights British military camp on July 20, 1814 and their heads chopped off and displayed on poles. Their heads were later paraded across the local villages. The bodies were buried in an unmarked grave close to the gallows. Seven others were banished. Of those, three died of typhus while still in captivity and one escaped and was not recaptured.
The eight executed were Aaron Stevens, Adam Crysler, Dayton Lindsey, Noah Payne Hopkins, George Peacock, Jr., Isaiah Brink, Benjamin Simmons and John Dunham. The majority of the men had been captured at the Battle of Nanticoke Creek. Their possessions were confiscated. Others convicted included Jacob Overholser, Garrett Neil and Isaac Petit, who died of typhus." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Assize_of_1814) on 20 July 1814 at British Army Camp, Burlington Heights, Niagara District, Upper Canada. He lived in 1816 at Beverly House, York, York Co., Upper Canada; "The oldest section of Beverly House was built around the War of 1812 by D’arcy Boulton, eldest son of Judge Boulton. At this time Beverley House was a small brick cottage, standing the only building on the square until 1820. D’arcy Boulton lived here until 1816 when he moved to a large frame dwelling on the west side of Frederick Street, opposite from the old post office. In 1813, when York was attacked by American forces inthe Battle of York, Prideaux Selby, Receiver-General of the Province, was living at Beverley House, and at the time of the invasion, on his death bed. Upper Canada’s provincial funds were in his care and to save them from falling into the hands of the Americans a clerk of the Receiver-General was dressed up as an old woman and driven from the cottage with three bags of gold and a large sum of army bills. The treasure was buried east of the Don bridge and the army bills were given to the invaders. After the departure of the Americans the gold was returned to the authorities in the parlour of Rev. Dr. John Strachan. After Boulton gave up the property it was acquired by Chief Justice John Beverley Robinson who profoundly transformed the estate. He added a wing to the west end of the property, raised the whole building, built a veranda, and constructed stables at the north west corner of the property. These alterations and additions transformed the modest brick cottage into the new Beverley House." from History of Beverly House, Chapter 5 of Robertson's Landmarks of Toronto revisted, http://www.landmarksoftoronto.com/history-of-beverley-house/.⁴ He married Emma Walker, daughter of Sir Charles Walker, on 5 June 1817 at New Church for St. Marylebone, London, England; "On the 5th June 1817, my father was married to Emma Walker at the New Church of St. Marylebone in London." from page 135 of "Life of Sir John Beverly Robinson, Bart., Chief Justice of Upper Canada.

He "At half-past five I went to Lord Normanby, by appointment. We spoke of the Union Bill. I told him that the five inferior legislatures were not wanted in Upper Canada ,and would be mischievous there and everywhere; that they were un-English, and would plunge us into a perpetual round of elections; and that, besides this, a power to tax without limit was not to be trusted to a single body chosen annually.

Writing to his brother Willim from Bridgefield Cottage, Wandworth, on the 13th November 1839, my father says: - Nothing could be pleasanter than my situaiton here. I am four miles out of town in a very comfortable house, with a garden and grounds about the size of ours in Toronto. I see no one scarcely, being out of the way, and therefore am not interrupted; and when I wish to go to town there are many public conveyances passing. I see the doctor now and then, and can in all things as to air, exercise & c., consult my health, which I trust is permanently benefiting by it.

Mr. Robert Stanton wrote from Toronto on 12th December 1839: - If you could pop in upon us suddenly how much surprised yuo would be, on walking up to your house, to find it in the full glare of lights, and with two sentries posted in front." from page 295 of "Life of Sir John Beverly Robinson, Bart., Chief Justice of Upper Canada.

He lived in 1840 at Beverly House, Toronto, York Co., Upper Canada; "Chief Justice Robinson, who was made a baronet, lived in Beverley House until his death. Beverley House was temporarily the residence of Poulett Thomson while he was Governor-General of the Canadas. Poulett Thomson gave an insight into his daily life at Beverley House in a letter written to a friend in 1840. He wrote, “In my room til 3 o’clock, a ride with my aide-de-camp till 5, work again until dinner, at dinner till 9, and work again until early next morning. This is my daily routine.” After establishing the union of Upper and Lower Canada, Poulett Thomson was raised to the peerage, with the title of Baron Sydenham of Sydenham in Kent, and Toronto in Canada. He died in 1841 in Kingston after a fall from his horse as he busily prepared to return to England. He was 42 years old. After Sir J. B. Robinson’s death in 1863 his widow, Lady Robinson, made Beverly house her home until she died, when it was taken by her son, Christopher Robinson. At the time of Robertson’s article the fire insurance maps show additional construction had been completed on the property." from History of Beverly House, Chapter 5 of Robertson's Landmarks of Toronto revisted, http://www.landmarksoftoronto.com/history-of-beverley-house/. He "Although he opposed the uniting of Upper and Lower Canada, several of his recommendations found their way into the Union Act of 1840." per GEDCOM of Kenneth Williams (kwilliams@cplglobal.com) Nov 16 2016. in 1840 at Beverly House, Toronoto, York Co., Upper Canada.¹ He "From Portsmouth he wrote to Bishop Stachan: - "It was an anxious moment to leave England, but there was np help for it. My leave had expored, and the Governor-General (mr. Thompson) on the one side, and Messrs. Hume and Leader on the other side of the Atlantic, were so impatient to have me fairly shipped, that the Secretary of State was at no loss as to excuses for his anxiety on the subject. I made no application to remain longer, and consistently with the respect due to myself, I could not have done it." After an average voyage, with some hard gales, but much fair weather and often light baffling winds, the Quebec sighted Long Island at dayligh on the 15th May, and on the 16th was becalmed, just outside of the Hook near New York. At 11 A.M. on the 16th a small steamer came out and took her in tow, and they landed at New York at 2 P.M. My father, in concluding his Journal, says: - "The British Queen ( a steamer) passed us the night before, quite near, having left Portsmouth seventeen days after we did. We had a most lovely day for entering the harbour of New York. The scene was quite enchanting.... We dound John here waiting for us. He tells us all are well at home.

What a changeful world we live in." (1) - Note below: With refernce to this occupation of Beverley Houose in the interests of the Union, it is said in Mr. Robertson's "Landmarks of Toronto" that Mr. Thompson put up a new kitchen range in the house; and the remark is amusingly added, "This was, it is said, the indirect cause of getting the union measure through the Upper Canada Parliament." from page 296 of "Life of Sir John Beverly Robinson, Bart., Chief Justice of Upper Canada.

This residence was later turned over to the Robinson family, who occupied it until 1912 when it was demolished." in February 1840 at Bevery House, Toronto, York Co., Upper Canada. He "It must have been about this time that he received the following resolution of the Legistlative Council of Upper Canada, passed the last day of the last Parliament of that province:- 10th February 1840; The members of this House, before separating at the close of probably their last session, desire to express their regret that indisposition should have caused the prolonged absence of the Hon. Mr. Robinson from his seat in this House, and they unite in the hope that he will speedily be restored to the country to pursue with renovated health and strength that laborious and distinguished career which has been so fruitful of honour to himself and of benefit to this fellow-subjects." from page 298 of "Life of Sir John Beverly Robinson, Bart., Chief Justice of Upper Canada.

He It was on this day that William Weller and Governor General Charles Poulett Thomson and Aid-do-Camp Captain Thomas La Machant left Beverly House for the fast drive to Montreal. They made it in 35 hours and 40 minutes. The Govenor General had been residing at Beverly House since his arrival in Toronto in Novemver 1839, invited by Chief Justice John Beverly Robinson to use his home as his Government House as long as needed. There is a delicious irony here; Thomson was in Canada to change the structure of government dramatically for the express purpose of curtailing the power of the Family Compact of which Robinson was the defacto head. He had just finished passing the legislation needed to accomplish these changes in Upper Canada and needed to get back to Montreal to do the same there. The union of Upper and Lower Canada resulted, leaving The Province of Canada and one legislature, which was extremely controversial at the time and led eventually to the need for Confederation in the 1860s.
