Newton Abbot: How the “Rurals” Preserve Peace: We have had about seven weeks experience of the “Rurals”, and very disagreeable one it is. There is a strong feeling against the act itself, but the officious way in which it has been carried out here has undoubtedly incensed all classes against it and its officers: Annoyance and insult have been used towards persons whose character and positions should have placed them above suspicion. The gentlemen of the neighbourhood were conversing together in the market on Wednesday week; they instantly became objects of suspicion to the P.C.s and had the mortification of being dogged about the whole day… (discussion of examples) … (includes) … P.C. Winchester, sworn, was on duty on the 24th June, near the Commercial Inn, in Highweek Street, prisoner opposed him in the execution of his duty. He asked him to leave and not stand there … …The Magistrate asked Winchester whether he wished to ask the witnesses any questions, to which he replied “No, I know they will swear falsely.” Mr. George Davis, timber merchant, has been fifty years in the business: about quarter past six last evening, saw defendant near Mr. Pinsent’s house, and stopped talking about five minutes on business. He went on and turned before he came to the Bank and saw the defendant in custody. When he came into town he passed through the crowd, and enquired what was the matter, and was told Mr. Mitchell had been insulted by the policeman – whist speaking he was ordered to move on. He told Winchester he had better move on himself, as he was the cause of all the disturbance, when the prosecutor threatened to lock him up. Defendant had not left two minutes when he saw him in custody…

The Rev. Mr. Spurgeon at Plymouth: This popular preacher has paid his promised visit to the three towns during this and the interest which he created was inferior in no degree that which he has excited in any of the other towns which he has visited. He arrived on Monday evening, and on Tuesday morning he preached his first sermon in this town on behalf of Batter-street Chapel, in Ebernezar Wesleyan Chapel, Saltash-street, which had been kindly lent for the occasion. The admission was by ticket, and although these were issued to as many persons as the chapel would hold — about 2,000 — yet such was the general desire manifested to hear Mr. Spurgeon, that many more applied for tickets, and had of course to be refused. The consequence was that various means were resorted to to induce the holders of tickets to part with them, by those who were not in such a fortunate position, and on Monday we heard of handsome sums being offered for the coveted cards of admission. Half-past 10 was the time appointed for the commencement of the service, but as early as nine a number of persons had collected round the entrance gates of the chapel … (continues with discussion of sermon and service) … … … In the evening Mr. Spurgeon preached at Hope Chapel, Fore-street, Devonport, making his third sermon in these towns in one day. There were nearly 2,000 persons present, the spacious chapel being filled in every part. The rev. gentleman took his text from Kings ii. chap, v., and from the first he riveted the attention of the whole of his audience. His sermon occupied about an hour in the delivery, and at the close of both these services liberal collections were made for the purpose of reducing the debt on Hope Chapel. This debt amounted last week to £1,743. There was a tea meeting on Monday, at which Mr. Peter Adams led the way for the reduction of debt saying that he and Mr. R. Jeffery, Liverpool, would give £100 each, if anything could be done. Mr. Pinsent, of Devonport, said that he and his father would give £100, and the Rev. T. Horton, the pastor of the chapel, said he would give another £100. Two other friends offered £50 each, two men offered £25. and the balance of £670 was raised in smaller sums. This was a noble result. It was determined then to pay the £743 by Midsummer and make it up to £1,000 by next anniversary. …
