Collumpton Petty Session: James Gillard, labourer, in the employ of Mr. William Matthews, a farmer, of the neighbourhood of Culmstock, was charged with stealing straw on Saturday last. Prosecutor stated that had lately lost straw. Suspecting the prisoner, he sent for a constable. On Sunday morning, the prisoner came to him crying and asked to be forgiven for what he had done last night. Prosecutor replied that he could not; prisoner must have what the law would give “un.” P.C. Pinsent went Saturday night to the prisoner’s house. He saw him and said, “I want to see that bundle of straw you brought home from Mr. Matthews to see whether its wheat or barley.” Prisoner said, “It’s wheat and that it would be found in the back house.” They both went there, and the prisoner pointed out the bundle now produced. Prisoner was sorry for what he had done and hoped to be forgiven. He further said it was all right what the P.C. had said and pleaded guilty; he was sentenced to fourteen day’s imprisonment with hard labour.

The Patriot: Thursday 27th September 1866

Kingsteington Devon: this considerable village has a very handsome church, for the country since its renovation, but, unfortunately, the services performed in it are tinted with the prevailing practices of the day, and savour very much of Romanism. That the fine church and its “flowery” services are not relished by a great number of the inhabitants is very patent, for the Wesleyans have a chapel here, and the Independents, have recently erected a very neat place of worship, capable of seating about 200 persons. It was built by Messrs. Bearne and Murrin, of Newton, in the Gothic style, at a cost of nearly £400. The principal portion of which was defrayed by T. Pinsent, Esq., of Greenhill – Western Times:

COMBEINTEIGNHEAD, Near Newton Abbot and Torquay, Devon: CAPITAL FREEHOLD INVESTMENT: MESSRS. BUCKLAND and RENDELL are instructed by the Proprietor to offer for SALE by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Globe Hotel, in Newton Abbot, on Thursday, the 11th day of October, 1866, at Three o’clock in the afternoon, the fee-simple and inheritance of and in the Manor Lordship of Combeinteignhead (otherwise Combeintinhead), and the ESTATE or FARM called “Middle Rocombe,” situate in the parish of Combeinteignhead, and in the occupation of Mr. Pinsent, as tenant. The Farm is very compact, and comprises a recently erected Dwelling House and all necessary Outbuildings, Cellarage, Yards, Gardens, Labourers’ Cottages, and about 164 Acres of Land, of which about 36 Acres are fertile Pasture and Watered Meadow, about 18 Acres of Orchard in full bearing, and the residue, about 110 Acres, superior Arable Land, and is very conveniently situated about four miles from the excellent market town of Newton Abbot, and from each of those favourite watering places, Teignmouth and Torquay. The Property being thus in the immediate vicinity several populous towns, having Railway Stations, and the navigable portion of the river Teign, being also within short distance, every facility for the disposal and conveyance of Corn, Cider and other produce is afforded to the occupier, and an extensive business in the Cider trade could, if required, be carried on. Mr. Pinsent holds a lease of the Farm for 14 years, from Ladyday, 1865, but such term can be put an end to, by either the landlord or the tenant, at the end the 7th year. To Capitalists an opportunity now offers for making good investment, whilst the existence of a Manor in connection with the Estate cannot but materially add to its importance, irrespective of the value of the Manorial Rents which amount to about £11 per annum, and which with all other rights appertaining to the Manor will be included in the sale. To Sportsmen also, excellent opportunity is presented of becoming possessed of property which would minister to their enjoyment, game being plentiful thereon, and fox hounds and harriers being regularly hunted in the neighbourhood. For viewing the Estate apply to Mr. Pinsent, the Farmhouse, and full particulars of the Property, with plan, will be ready 21 days prior to the sale, and may be had of the Auctioneers, Newton Abbot; of Mr. Philip Michelmore, No. 1, Claremont, Torquay; or at the office of Mr. HOOPER, Solicitor, Newton Abbot. Newton Abbot, 8th Sept. 1866.

Kingsteignton: New Independent Chapel: This considerable village has a very handsome church for the country since its recent renovation, but, unfortunately, the services performed in it are tainted with the prevailing practices of the day, and savours very much of Romanism. That the fine church and its “flowery” services are not relished by a great number of the inhabitants is very patent, for the Wesleyans have a chapel here, and the Independents have recently erected a very neat place of worship, capable of seating about 200 persons. It was built by Messrs. Bearne and Murrin, of Newton, in the gothic style, at a cost of nearly £400 — the principal portion of which was defrayed by T. Pinsent, Esq., of Greenhill. The interior arrangements are very neat; at one end is a platform for the minister, and a gallery at the other; the seats are low and open. There are two windows at either end, but the light is considerably obscured, and will be hardly sufficient in winter without resorting to artificial aid. The whole of the woodwork is stained and varnished. The principal management of the affair has fallen on Mr. Bolton, of Highweek. Today (Friday) the opening services will be commenced by the Rev. T. C. Page preaching in the morning and evening. Dinner will be provided at the “King’s Arms,” and tea at the Wesleyan Chapel for the convenience of friends coming from a distance. Next Sunday the services will be continued, and two sermons preached by the Rev. J. M. Charlton, M.A. of the Western College, Plymouth.
