Exeter Guildhall: Yesterday: Mischievous Youth: William Gove, a little lad apparently about eight or nine, was summoned for causing an obstruction and damaging the windows of a house. The lad, it appears, was in the company of some fifty or sixty others on Sunday evening last, in Water-lane, assisting in breaking in the windows of an untenanted house, besides doing other mischief. Defendant had received a good whipping for what he had done and was now brought and reminded that such a thing was not permitted. In acting in the manner described the constable he had been guilty of an offence for which, the law generally inflicted a heavy punishment, but as he had already suffered in part for his wanton mischief the Bench were inclined to look in a little more lenient light on the matter: Fined 6d and costs. The mayor said that on the part of the Bench, he was greatly obliged to Mr. Pinsent (by whom the information was laid) for having brought a case of this kind before them and thought it a good example to many other citizens follow in order to put a stop to what was now becoming an intolerable nuisance.

 GRO0449 Hennock: James Pinsent: 1842 – 1902

Robbery at Newton Abbot: John Charles Burton (on bail) was indicted for stealing a sack and four pecks of beans, the property of George Sanders, on the 5^th February, at Wolborough. Mr. Clark prosecuted, and Mr. Carter defended the prisoner.lt appeared that the prisoner was in the service of the prosecutor, a corn chandler, living Newton Abbot. His stores were behind his dwellinghouse, and a Mr. Pinsent had stores adjoining, the key of the door being hung in the passage of the prosecutor’s house. On the evening of the day in question, the prisoner was seen by P. C. Endacott to come from Pinsent’s store with a sack. His master had previously seen him take the sack to the store. Prisoner was apprehended on the spot, and the bag was found to be one of the prosecutor’s, and it contained four pecks of beans. The prosecutor sometimes kept property in the store, but never beans. After the prisoner was liberated on bail, he called the prosecutor, and he said it was the first thing he had stolen from him. The defence was that the prisoner intended to take the beans to his master’s stable, and that he had not the slightest intention of stealing. The jury found the prisoner guilty but recommended him to mercy. The prisoner was sentenced to four months’ hard labour. Prisoner, on leaving the dock, said the constable had sworn falsely.
