Lawes’ Manure Audit: On Wednesday a large party of agriculturists, consumers of Messrs. Lawes’ Manures, dined together at Magor’s Commercial Hotel under the able presidency of T. Wills, Esq. (Eastwrey). A first-rate spread was provided. Among the company present were Messrs. Pinsent (4), Mr. W. Rendell, Mr. Whidborne (2), Soper, Fry, Wreyford (2), Widdicombe, French, Stone, Winser, Wills, Loveys, Northcote, Adams, Smalldridge, Mann, Langworthy, Tuckett, Jarvis, Burridge, (etc) … (toasts and speeches) … He (Mr. Wills (?)) congratulated the firm on having such efficient businessmen as Messrs. Baker and Pinsent in the district. He might remind them that the firm of Messrs. Lawes existed as a limited liability company, for the business had assumed such an enormous magnitude that no two or three men cared to invest sufficient capital to carry it on. Mr. Pinsent was, as they were aware, a shareholder and Mr. Baker an agent, and singularly enough they were both bachelors (laughter) but whether or not their business proclivities were attributable to that he could not say. He asked all present to drink success to the Messrs. Lawes’: Messrs. Pinsent and Baker returned thanks, not only for the Messrs. Lawes’ but for the handsome manner in which the manures of the firm had been spoken off. The latter observed that he had dealt in manures years before he became agent for Messrs. Lawes’ and he might say, without fear of contradiction, that those of the latter were inferior to none. …
