Appeals: Knight v The Parish of Kingsteignton: … Mr. Karslake, in opening the case, said it involved the question of rating a canal in the parish of Kingsteignton and the property of Mr. Knight, the appellant. The canal, which was half a mile in length, was made by Mr. Knight on Lord Clifford’s property at considerable expense, it being brought down to the navigable river Teign … (considerable discussion) … Mr. Collier asked if it was admitted that 18,000 tons of clay had been carried for Messrs. Watts and Co., clay merchants? He understood the company were bound to have conveyed through the canal, 18,000 tons at the minimum cost 1s 6d per ton. Mr. Karslake admitted that such was the case. The Messrs. Watts paid upon 18,000 tons, whether that quantity was carried or not. There was, however, the question of deductions to be considered. The first item of expenditure to be deducted was – bargemen’s wages, £542 12s; then there were – repairs of the canal, £23 1s 1d; repairs of barges and boats. £40 13s 11d, tithe rent charge £1 5s; collector’s poundage, £79 10s 5d; wages to two shipping agents £9 6s, rent paid to Lord Clifford for land, £15; rent paid to Mr. Pinsent for land, 11s; paid to Mr. Edwards for clearing a water course 5s. …

Newton Abbot: How the “Rurals” Preserve Peace: We have had about seven weeks experience of the “Rurals”, and very disagreeable one it is. There is a strong feeling against the act itself, but the officious way in which it has been carried out here has undoubtedly incensed all classes against it and its officers: Annoyance and insult have been used towards persons whose character and positions should have placed them above suspicion. The gentlemen of the neighbourhood were conversing together in the market on Wednesday week; they instantly became objects of suspicion to the P.C.s and had the mortification of being dogged about the whole day…  (discussion of examples) … (includes) … P.C. Winchester, sworn, was on duty on the 24th June, near the Commercial Inn, in Highweek Street, prisoner opposed him in the execution of his duty. He asked him to leave and not stand there … …The Magistrate asked Winchester whether he wished to ask the witnesses any questions, to which he replied “No, I know they will swear falsely.” Mr. George Davis, timber merchant, has been fifty years in the business: about quarter past six last evening, saw defendant near Mr. Pinsent’s house, and stopped talking about five minutes on business. He went on and turned before he came to the Bank and saw the defendant in custody. When he came into town he passed through the crowd, and enquired what was the matter, and was told Mr. Mitchell had been insulted by the policeman – whist speaking he was ordered to move on. He told Winchester he had better move on himself, as he was the cause of all the disturbance, when the prosecutor threatened to lock him up. Defendant had not left two minutes when he saw him in custody…
