The Robson ministry was the combined Cabinet that governed British Columbia from August 2, 1889, to June 29, 1892. It was led by John Robson, the ninth premier of British Columbia. Robson was appointed as premier following the death of incumbent premier A. E. B. Davie. Robson's cabinet was dissolved in 1892, when an accident during a trip to London, England, caused his premature death.[1]
