Exmouth: Monday, before Cole Cole (sic), Esq., Capt. Ekhoff, of the galiot Drie Gebroeders, from Norway, was summoned to answer the complaint of Thos. Pincent, pilot, for refusing to pay his pilotage, which, for in and out over the bar, amounted to £2; he said his skip did not draw much water, and he considered it was too much, offering about one-third the amount. He was directed to pay the pilotage, and fined 10s., and 15s. costs. He spluttered at the decision, and declared, in broken English, that he would tell all the people in Hanover, where he belonged, what a bad set English pilots were.
