Gloucester Journal: Saturday 1st June 1867

Gloucester Rowing Club: Several members this club availed themselves, Wednesday last, of a kind and hospitable invitation of Mr. John Stephens to visit his residence, Church Farm, Minsterworth. The weather was all that could be desired, and everything concurred to make the excursion a most enjoyable one. The boats started from the Quay at four p.m. and reached Minsterworth, a distance of seven miles, at 6.15. On arriving at their destination, their kind host was in waiting to receive them; when, after viewing the venerable Parish Church and the picturesque scenery in the neighbourhood, they were conducted to Mr. Stephens’s residence, and a substantial tea placed before them, to which the oarsmen did ample justice; after which they adjourned to the garden, and an abundant supply of Mr. Stephens’s celebrated cider was provided. The healths’ of the host and hostess were proposed with all the honours, and after a few songs had been sung, the company were reluctantly obliged to leave at eight p.m. having spent a very delightful evening. The “eight” was manned (1) A. S. Helps, (2) J. Holland, (3) C. N. Buchanan, (4) E. W. Coren, (5) P. P. New, (6) H. Medland, (7) R. Foster, (stroke,) P. W. Sparling, (cox) F. Butt the “four” were (1) W. H. Prosser, (2) W. Pinsent, (3) J. M. Buchanan, (stroke,) P. Chandler, (cox) P. H. Adams.

Cape and Natal News: Monday 22nd April 1867 

Natal: … … REGISTRATION OF WILLS: A strange fact in the matter of wills transpired during a case heard at the Resident Magistrate’s Court lately. It appears that a will cannot be properly registered in this colony, the notary public being the solo custodian. This being the case, it may often happen that wills may not have the proper formalities required by English law, as was really the case in one instance mentioned at the Court by Mr. Advocate Pinsent, where a will was not signed even by the number of witnesses required by the colonial law. His Worship expressed his belief that this state of things afforded too many facilities for the forgery of wills, and was, indeed, likely to lead to many undesirable results … …

Gloucestershire Chronicle: Saturday 13th April 1867

The Life-Boat Launch: The National Life-Boat Institution has now become one of those societies whose necessity was as universally recognised as that for the maintenance of hospitals or any other public means for the perseveration of life and health. … Fashionable Cheltenham, obliged to launch its boat upon an artificial lake in the centre of a pleasure garden, had done its work nobly; and now Gloucester, which might have taken the lead, follows suit with more than equal ardour … (discussion of lifeboat) …  Streamers waved from the yards and masts of the vessels in the two docks; several boats were upon the water; and the rowing club had manned their graceful eight and four-oar. The crew of the “eight” consisted of A. S. Helps, E. Cookson, C. N. Buchanan, P. New, B. H. Sheppard, J. M. Buchanan, W. A. Jones, P. W. Sparling (stroke), F. Butt (coxn.). The “four” was manned by W. Pinsent, I. Holland, B. Edwards, and F. Edwards (stroke), H. Hunt (coxn.).
