Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General Advertiser: Saturday 6th January 1855 

Agricultural Sales and Markets: A few days ago, a very important sale of shorthorn cattle, &c., took place at the seat of Mr. Pinsent, Greenhill, Devonshire, who was compelled to relinquish an admirably conducted farm in consequence of indisposition. A number of breeders from all parts of the country were present, for instance, and the cattle fetched high prices. For instance, a splendid cow, six months gone in calf, named “Gay Lass,” fetched 75 guineas, and was purchased by a gentleman of Ashburton. A yearling heifer of the above animal was sold at 20 £., and other prime beasts fetched similar high prices.

The insolvent prayed for the adjudication of the court. Mr. Commissioner Phillips being in doubt to whether the court had jurisdiction, the insolvent having been legally discharged, referred to the cases: Re Isaac Gabriel Costa, SC. C. Chron. 146 In this case discharge had been lodged on the morning of the day preceding that appointed for the hearing; but, in consequence of an oversight of the governor, the insolvent was not aware of it before he reached the court to which he had been brought in custody of the gaoler. There were circumstances in that case which induced the court to believe the discharge was lodged by the detaining creditor for the purposes of oppressing the debtor …

Bristol Mercury: Saturday 11th November 1854 Issue 3373

Insolvency Court: Re: Henry Jones, Bilton, Beer-retailer: – The first hearing of this insolvent was opposed by Mr. Hellings and supported by Mr. Edlin. The opposition was made on-behalf of Mr. Pincent, a creditor for £9, and it was grounded on the fact of the insolvent having vexatiously defended an action. Mr. Edlin contended that that objection was not within the meaning of the statutes that the action had not been defended; but only an appearance of time obtained, and this even had been done without the sanction of the insolvent. After a long conversation between the learned gentleman, His Honour decided that if the action had not been defended, there had been a vexatious delay obtained, and that therefore he should adjourn the petition ”sine die,” to allow the opposing creditors to take further proceedings. Mr. Edlin submitted that this would be a great hardship on the insolvent, for if Mr. Pincent’s debt was paid there would be an end to the opposition and suggested a short adjournment to enable the insolvent’s friends to make some arrangement in regard to this debt. Mr. Hellings, having assented to this course, his Honour adjourned the petition for six weeks, without protection.
