Exeter and Plymouth Gazette Daily Telegrams: Wednesday 20th September 1876

Auction Sale: An auction was held at the Golden Lion Inn, on Tuesday, by Mr. Lambshead, for the sale of the freehold property in which the sale was held, viz., a freehold full-licensed public house, with a large yard and good stabling accommodation, known as the “Golden Lion Inn”, occupied at present by Mr. J. Mugford. Mr. Baker (Francis and Baker) was the solicitor for the owner (Mr. L. Beanie), and having read the conditions of the sale, the bidding was commenced by Mr. Mortimore of St Mary Church, who offered £800. Mr. Scawen followed with £900 and was quickly followed by Pinsent with £1,000. The bidding was resumed by Mr. Foss with £1,100: Mr. Mortimore then offered £1,150. The property was bought in at the reserve price of £1,500.  A few weeks ago, the same property was offered for sale by the same auctioneer, and bought by Mr. Butcher, of Newton, for £1,760. He, however, was unable to “conclude the purchase” and was let off by paying the vendor something like £30. This will be a great loss to Mr. Bearne, for on that occasion a genuine bid of £1,600 was recorded.

The Devon County Agricultural Show: Horses: … Coming to three-year-old geldings and fillies, we find that another Crediton filly managed to meet the requirements of the judges, and take the first place; though not by any means did the animal seem to be in the pink of perfect condition. A march larger and decidedly stronger looking mare, the property of Mr. Henry Pinsent, of Doddiscombsleigh, got second place, many presumably good judges amongst irresponsible onlookers being somewhat taken aback at the decision which did not place her at the top of the score. A bay mare sent by the Earl of Devon, with many telling points about her took a third. …
