HINDS, SAMUEL (1793-1872) was born in Barbados and educated in England. At Queen's College, Oxford, he graduated M.A. (1818) and four years later was ordained. He was associated with the Society for the Conversion of Negroes. In 1827 he was appointed vice-principal of St Alban Hall, Oxford, under Whately, to whom as archbishop of Dublin, he was domestic chaplain (1831). In 1832 he wrote an essay on colonisation which was published as an appendix to Whately's Thoughts on Secondary Punishment. He was later prebendary of Castleknock and in 1846 chaplain to the Lord-lieutenant, in 1848 dean of Carlisle, and in 1849 Bishop of Norwich. Hinds was on the committee of the New Zealand Association. He published in 1838 The Latest Official Documents relating to New Zealand, in which he supported the plan of the Association and replied to the criticisms of the Rev J. Beecham and Dandeson Coates. He gave evidence before the select committee in 1840.
