  • Thomas Chase-Casgrain, né le 28 juillet 1852 à Détroit dans l'état américain de Michigan et mort d'une pneumonie le 29 décembre 1916 à Ottawa dans la province canadienne de l'Ontario à l'âge de 64 ans, également appelé Thomas Casgrain, est un avocat et homme politique canadien-français, qui devint célèbre pour sa participation aux poursuites engagées contre Louis Riel. Bien que la Couronne fut représentée par une importante équipe comprenant George Burbidge, Christopher Robinson, Britton Bath Osler et d'autres, Casgrain en était le seul membre canadien-français. Les sentiments pro-Riel dans la province du Québec étaient tellement forts que des mannequins à son effigie furent pendus et brûlés lors de manifestations. Cela ne l'empêcha cependant pas d'être élu à l'Assemblée législative du Québec, puis comme député de la Chambre des communes du Canada en tant que conservateur. (fr)

As a young attorney he became famous for his participation in the prosecution of Louis Riel. He was born at Detroit in 1852, the son of Charles Eusèbe Casgrain, and studied at the Petit Séminaire de Québec and the Université Laval. He was admitted to the Quebec Bar in 1877 and received the Dufferin Silver Medal in the same year. He was named professor of law at Université Laval two years later. In 1885, he was named to the legal team representing the Crown in the trial of Louis Riel. Although the crown was represented by a large team including George Burbidge, Christopher Robinson, Britton Bath Osler and others, Casgrain was the only French-Canadian in the group. Pro-Riel sentiment in the province of Quebec was so strong that he was burned in effigy during at least one demonstration. However, this did not prevent him from being elected in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec. He was elected for Quebec County in 1886 and for Montmorency in 1892. He was attorney general in the provincial cabinet from December 1891 to November 1892 and again from December 1892 to May 1896. He represented Montmorency as a Conservative Member of Parliament in the House of Commons of Canada from 1896 to 1904 and Quebec County from 1914 until his death from pneumonia at Ottawa in 1916. He was entombed at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal. He served as Postmaster General from October 1914 until his death. (en)
