Newton Abbot County Court: County Police: (Mr. Charles Steer sued P.C. Winchester (No. 63) of the County constabulary, for assault and illegal imprisonment) … George Davis was a wheelwright, living in Newton Bushel, and was churchwarden of the parish between five and six on Wednesday, the 21th of June he passed by the Commercial Inn. There might have been a hundred people outside, within a space of two gunshots. There were always many people about on market and fair days. Witness stopped to enquire of a few people what the matter was, when Winchester told him to “move on.” There was no disturbance there. Witness passed on towards the town and when near Mr. Pinsent’s house he met Mr. Steer, with whom he talked on business for a few minutes. Mr. Steer went towards the Commercial Inn, when they parted. After the witness had gone on a short distance he looked back and saw Mr. Steer between two policemen. Mr. Francis here asked his Honour if he was not at liberty to put the question to the witness whether or not Winchester did not threaten him when he had Mr. Steer in custody … … Samuel Home was a brewer in the employ of Mr. Pinsent. On Midsummer Fair Day he was sent by his master to the Commercial Inn to get a cask and had to wait there for some time. He was there twenty minutes before Mr. Steer arrived. There were a great many people passing and repassing, but he heard no disturbance. Mr. Steer did not talk to anyone from the time he left Mr. Davis to the time he came to the Commercial Inn. When Mr. Steer was going into the doorway, Winchester made a sudden spring at him and collared him, saying — “D— ‘ee, you’re the fellow that has insulted me twice to-day before.” The plaintiff’s testimony as regards the subsequent conversation between him, and the defendant was confirmed by this witness …

Teignmouth: Election of Harbour Master: A meeting of the harbour commissioners was held at the Court House on Thursday last. The following commissioners were present: Mr. Vicary, chairman, Messrs. Ward, T. Hutchings, S. Hutchings, Coleman, J. Drew, jun., Elias Ford, Stooke, J. B. Pinsent, Bearne, Milward. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, and the usual business transacted, the meeting proceeded to the election of harbour master, in the room of Mr. Matthew Warren, deceased. There were five candidates for the office — Messrs. Captain Bartlett, T. Bulkeley, J. Poland, William Warren, and Henry Warren (son of the deceased). The usual salary is £30 per year, but Capt. Bartlett offered to perform the duties without fee or no reward. The names of the candidates having been read by the chairman, and a show of hands given for and against each, the names stood thus: For W. Warren, no votes; Henry Warren, 2; J. Bulkeley, 3; J. Poland, 1; Capt. Bartlett, 5. The chairman then read a resolution that Capt. Bartlett be appointed harbour master. A show of hands was then made, and it appeared that Mr. T. Hutchings, Mr. S. Hutchings, Mr. Ward, Mr. Millward, and Mr. Stooke voted for, and Messrs. Pinsent, Drew, Ford, Coleman, Bearne and Vicary against the appointment of Capt. Bartlett: The chairman then declared Capt. Bartlett out voted and called on the meeting to vote for Bulkeley. Messrs. Vicary, Bearue, Drew, Ford, and Pinsent then held up their hands for, and only two against his appointment, viz., Messrs. Stooke and Coleman; several of the board expressing their intention of reserving their votes for Mr. H. Warren. The chairman, however, declared Mr. Bulkeley duly elected. The mode of election was greatly against the majority of the meeting, and the election of Bulkely may be rather attributed to the confusion attendant on this mode of voting, than to any feeling that he is at all preferable to the other candidates to fill the office. That Capt. Bartlett’s offer should not have been accepted as a source of astonishment to many, particularly as his practical knowledge of maritime affairs and his independent manner, would have rendered him a valuable man in the office. That the Chairman declared Mr. Bulkeley elected without requesting votes for Mr. H. Warren, is also a matter of surprise, and it is the opinion of several parties that the election has not yet ended, and that an attempt will be made by the other candidates to have another election.

NEWTON ABBOT. Inquest: An inquest was held on Saturday evening, before A. Cockey, Esq., coroner, at Avery’s Turk’s Head Inn, on the body of Walter Hunt, who died from injuries received about a fortnight since. From the evidence a man named Williams, it appeared that deceased was coming down from Lundridge Hill, Bishopsteignton, where he had been with a horse and wagon to deliver some goods for his master (Mr. J. Pinsent, brewer), when the shaft struck the horse in the head, owing, witness considered, to its not having a belly-tie; and the horse sprang off at a great rate. Witness was thrown back in the cart, but the deceased was thrown out; the wheel ran over his legs, which were broken and much injured. He lingered until Friday night, when he expired. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
