Charges of Robbing the Peninsular and Oriental Company: At the Southampton Guildhall on Saturday, before Mr. J. H. Cooksey, Mr. E. Palk, and Mr. J. Clark, magistrates, William Elliott, a butcher in the employ of Mr. Saunders, of Totton, was charged with stealing three pounds of mutton, the property of the Peninsular and Oriental Company. The case was adjourned from the previous Thursday, the prisoner being admitted to bail, in order for the attendance of the butcher of the Massilia who, it was alleged, saw Elliott take the meat in April last. Hannant, the company’s detective, said the witness was not present, as the Massilia had gone aground on the Cadland shore. Mr. Cooksey: Are you instructed to prosecute? Hannant: I spoke to Mr. Pinsent this morning about prosecuting, and he gave me no answer. Mr. Leigh (who appeared for prisoner): Then I should take it that silence meant “No.” Mr. Cooksey said the company should have given instructions to the detective, and as that had not been done the prisoner would be discharged, but they could apprehend him again on another warrant if they thought proper.

Kingsteignton: Serious Fire: About eight o’ clock yesterday morning some ricks of corn, the property of Mr. Pinsent, of Ware Farm, were discovered to be on fire. Every effort was at once made to subdue the flames, but a strong breeze blowing at the time all attempts were futile. In a very short time no less than thirteen ricks of wheat and two of oats were enveloped in flames. The fire continued smouldering throughout the whole day, and but very little of the corn was saved. The damage is estimated at £400 though, fortunately the stock was insured. Suspicion is attached to two lads who were seen running from the spot about the time the fire was discovered, and a box of Lucifer matches was picked up near the ricks.

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: Wednesday: The Rev. R. R. Wolfe presided. The attendance of Guardians was large. It was intimated that in consequence of the new Act of Parliament the Sewage Utilization Act, the duties of looking into nuisances, or, in other words, the duties that at present devolve on inspector of nuisances, will in future devolve on the vestries of the different parishes, consequently the services of the sanitary inspector will only be required for a short time longer. He was, however, instructed to proceed with his duties for the present. Mr. Pinsent, Guardian of Kingsteignton, produced a letter signed by the overseers of that village, requesting that the salary of Mr. Gillard, the assistant overseer be not paid, in consequence his not having discharged his duties in not collecting the rates. The Guardians agreed with the purport of the letter and promised to do as requested: The number of inmates to be 248.

East Devon Election: Sir L. Palk and Lord Courtenay at Newton: Catechised and Declared Unfit: The Chairman’s Mistake: The Baronet and the Lord Bolt. Chairman Watts withholding what’s wanted: Great Liberal Triumph: The meeting held on Wednesday at Newton was a most signal defeat of the Tories. They now have evoked the feeling that runs so high in the Eastern Division. If the Liberals do not, after this, bring out a candidate, they deserve the worst fate that can befall a constituency – they merit being represented by Sir L. Palk and Lord Courtenay. The managers of the meeting had feared Liberal enterprise and took care to keep the door of the Assembly Room at the Globe closed to the public until the platform was occupied and the upper part of the room filled by known supporters of the decadent party. But when the doors were opened the independent electors marked in and filled the hall. It is estimated that over eight hundred were present. The room was densely packed, and it has been many years since any such a numerous and exciting gathering was seen at Newton. W. J. Watts, Esq., presided, sitting between the two candidates. There were also present … (long list includes) … J. Pinsent … (political speeches followed by a vote of no confidence in the candidates that was “deemed” to be lost by the chairman) …
