Sir '''John Sparrow David Thompson''' (born at [[Halifax]], November 10, 1845, died at [[Windsor Castle]], December 12, 1894) was a Canadian lawyer, judge, and fourth Prime Minister of Canada from 1892 to 1894, after the resignation of Sir [[John Abbott]]. Thompson died only about an hour after being sworn into the Privy Council by [[Queen Victoria]], leaving the [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservatives]] at a lack for courage and leadership. His most significant contribution during his tenure was the ''Criminal Code.''<ref>"Sir John Sparrow David Thompson," The Canadian Encyclopedia, [http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/sir-john-sparrow-david-thompson/]</ref>
