Bovey Tracey: … An application was made at the Newton Petty Sessions on Tuesday for the temporary transfer of the King of Prussia, whereupon Mr. W. Vicary asked if the name would be altered as the present name was not appropriate. Mr. Pinsent: I have thought of that: Mr. Vicary; Why not the King of Bovey? Mr. Pinsent, I will find a name. Mr. Vicary: You can’t have the “King of Prussia” now, you know.
