[The Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 9 December 1931]
Crown Attorney T.D. Cowper, K.C., will on January 15th, 1932, have completed 40 years service to Welland county as its crown attorney. He was given this appointment on January 15th, 1892, and also has the honor of having been a barrister longer than the large majority of lawyers in the province of Ontario.
It was on November 21st, 1877, more than 54 years ago that County Crown Attorney Cowper was authorized to receive affidavits and other powers of attorney, and this authorization was signed by the then chief justice for Ontario, Robert M.. Harrison, also by Mr. Justice John D. Armour and Mr. Justice Adam Wilson.
Another interesting fact learned today by The Tribune was that on October 7th, 1881, Thomas Dalziel Cowper, barrister at law, was given power of notary public, applicable at any point in the province of Ontario, this being signed by the then Provincial secretaty, Hon. Arthur S. Hardy, and under the seal of the then lieutenant-governor, Hon John Beverley Robinson.
