South Devon Hounds: This excellent pack of foxhounds met for the first time for the season at Wood, near Bishopsteignton, the seat of W. Harris, Esq., yesterday, when there was, notwithstanding the threatening state the weather, an unprecedentedly large attendance of well mounted horsemen. Several ladies were also present. To the credit of the worthy master (Mr. Westlake) the hounds were in excellent condition; and they were brought up at Woodgate at the appointed time. Mr. Westlake was heartily greeted by his old friends, and Mr. Michelmore was scarcely less so, as the new Hon. Secretary to the Hunt. It is scarcely possible for the members the hunt to have appointed more able successor to Mr. C. Wills, of Woodlands, the late indefatigable secretary, than Mr. Michelmore, for he is in every sense of the word thorough huntsman; and there is no doubt he will do much in maintaining the popularity of this well-known pack. Among the company present (about 130), were the following — Sir John Duntze, W. Harris, Esq., W. R. Hole, Esq., J. B. Short, Esq., J. Whidborne, Esq., and Miss Whidborne, — Rudge Esq., and Mrs. Rudge, D. Adair, Esq., and Mrs. Adair, H. S. Gaye, Esq., Dr. Hall, R. J. Baillie, Esq., J. Earle, Esq., H. Smart, Esq., B. Beamish, Esq., H. Michelmore, Esq., S. Foster, Esq., R. W. Templer, Esq., Rev. W. C. Clarke, Capt. Keating, C. Ingle, Esq., W. H. Kitson, Esq., Admiral Wise, Miss Sanders, Misses Gardner, Miss Harris, Misses Riccard, Messrs. T Sarah, H. Magor, E. Bond, Dr. Drake, Carlisle, Pinsent, junr., H. Jacobs, H. Budd P. Harris. The dogs were first taken to Newlake, near Little Haldon, where a fox of rather “tender age” was soon found. After being chased about forty-five minutes, he succumbed to his pursuers on Lidwell estate, the son of Captain West, who singular to relate, was mounted on a pony, being the first to be in at the death; but he was soon followed by a young lady, to whom the brush was afterwards presented. The field then trotted off to Lutton Bottom, and drew blank, and with the like result at Kingswood, and Buckley Coppice; but on entering Whiteland estate, a fine old fox was found. He made back through Buckley Coppice at a clipping pace, bidding the dogs defiance, and thence through Kingswood, Durley Wood, and on to Lynridge, where he managed to give the dogs the “slip,” after several hours hard running. The day being now far spent — quarter after five — the dogs were drawn off, and Reynard was allowed to compose himself until another meet. We should mention that Mr. W. Harris kindly entertained a number of the company to luncheon prior to the meet.

Cricket at Portswood Park: Portswood Park v. Rownham, with Three County Colts: This match was played on the Portswood Park Ground on Saturday and there not being enough time to finish the game, resulted in a victory for the Rownhams and colts on the first innings: Portwood was but poorly represented, the cold “nor-easter” in which the match was played may have caused the small attendance. The score was as follows: Rownhams, First Innings, 90 all out: Second Innings, 83 all out: Portswood Park, First Innings, 45 all out (J. Pincent not out 1); Second Innings 2 for one wicket.

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: The weekly meeting of this board was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. R. Wolfe presiding. The Rev. F. S. Wall, presenting the report of the Visiting Committee, reported that there were 228 paupers in the house. The report of the Medical Committee, read by Mr. Rendell, showed that satisfactory returns had been received from the whole of the medical officers. Dr. Barham, in bringing up the report of the Sanitary Committee, stated that they had received a letter from the Rev. Mr. Lightfoot, complaining certain nuisances at Cockwood, and they had instructed the Inspector to inspect them, and to report thereon. The Clerk next read the report of the Finance Committee. It recommended the settlement of the clerk’s, relieving officers’, master’s, and other salaries, amounting to £117 18s., and medical officers’ salaries, amounting to £118 16s. 2d., for the past quarter, besides 18s. for a special attendance fee. The report, and those that preceded it, were adopted. Mr. Creed said that during the past week he had seen Mr. Whiteway, the Chairman of the Sanitary Committee at Kingsteignton, and that he should be willing to attend at the next board meeting, and give some fresh information with regard to the sewerage improvements that had been commenced in the parish, and which were present stopped in consequence of injunction obtained by Mr. Pinsent from the Court of Chancery. Several guardians expressed an opinion, from what they had recently heard, that the injunction only had reference to the cesspit. On the motion Mr. Cuming, seconded by Mr. Creed, the Clerk was directed to write to Mr. Whiteway, requesting him to attend the next meeting of the board.

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardian: The weekly meeting of this body was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. R. Wolfe in the chair. The Rev. F. S. Wall reported that there were 223 inmates in the house. … Mr. Wade next adverted to the Kingsteinton sewerage question and stated that with the other members of the committee that were appointed a short time ago by the board, he had inspected the works. They found that the drain for about 100 or 150 yards was carried along the centre of an embankment, and that, as it was lined with bricks, the joints of which were not cemented, there was continual leakage. An injunction had been served on the local authorities, so that they could not proceed with the works. He agreed with Mr. Pinsent who had taken action in the matter with a view to stopping the works, that the sewer would prove a great nuisance to him. After a few remarks from the other members of the committee the subject dropped. …

Pinsent … Mr. Wade as one of the committee appointed to wait on Mr. Pinsent at Kingsteignton, in reference to the main sewage, which is stopped by order of the Lord Chancellor, an injunction having been obtained for that purpose, stated that a worse drain he never saw, for 150 yards it was neither cemented nor puddled, and consequently would not contain water, and must therefore prove a nuisance. From his conversation with Mr. Pinsent, he feared there was no chance of amicably setting the matter, as that gentleman stated that he must leave it in the hands of his lawyers. It was evidently a nuisance to Mr. Pinsent’s property. The board regretted the necessity for the steps Mr. Pinsent found himself called upon to take …

Cape and Natal News: Monday 23rd September 1867

The Ecclesiastical Troubles: Our story this time is less exciting than it was last month, being principally centred in the delivery of judgment by the Supreme Court in the case of Colenso v. Wills. The Bishop of Natal applied for an interdict restraining Rev. J. H. Will., Chaplain to Bishop Twell, of the Free State, from holding service or otherwise officiating here without having first received the licence of the lawful bishop of the diocese — Dr. Colenso. After bearing the lengthy arguments of the applicant’s counsel (Mr. S. Pinsent), and of the respondent, the Court reserved its decision, which it gave on the 31st July, when Justices Connor and Phillips gave judgment in favour of Mr. Wills, and the Chief Justice in favour of the Bishop. The interdict sought for was not therefore granted.
