KINGSTEIGNTON School Treat: On Friday last the children of the Independent Sunday School had their annual treat of tea and cake at Were Barton, instead of at Green Hill, as formerly, owing to the indisposition of the respected T. Pinsent, Esq. Mr. Row, the pastor, the teachers and others interested in the school, were present with the youthful to cater for their wants, and assist in the amusements that followed. The weather was fine, and the afternoon’s recreation thoroughly enjoyed.

Liberal Meeting at Newton: The Eastern Division has promptly and worthily followed the example of South Devon. The Liberals of the Newton district convened a public meeting at the Town Hall on Wednesday, to form an Association for watching the register on behalf of the Liberals of the Eastern Division. The Tories call this Division a pocket borough. The Liberals will not pocket this affront: they mean to assert their rights and have begun the campaign in the right way. There was a numerous attendance of gentlemen, farmers, and of other classes, and enthusiastic spirit prevailed. C. J. Wade, Esq., who had been chairman of the preliminary meeting of Liberals, was unanimously called to the chair; and amongst those present were:  — R. Vicary, Esq., Admiral Wise, R. Baker, Esq., Michelmore, Esq., J. Vicary, Esq., J. H. Tozer, Esq , (Teignmouth), R. Tucker, Esq. (Ashburton), S. Branscombe, Esq., C. Gaye, Esq., E. C. Kent, Esq., Rev. D. Good, J. Harris, Esq. (Park Hill), Dr. N. J. Haydon (Bovey Tracey), J. Pinsent, Esq., J. Bowden, Esq. (Mayor of Totnes), Capt. Lethbridge, R.N., Capt. Sweeting, R.N., Capt. …  (and others) …  (discussion of political and religious issues) … Mr. John Harris moved that in the opinion of that meeting it was desirable that a Registration Association should be formed in each polling district of the division. Mr. W. Creed seconded the resolution in a brief but energetic speech. Unless they seized the present opportunity of contesting the division when the new Reform Act came into operation, they would be letting the Conservatives get hold upon it, which they might never be able to loosen. They must, therefore, be prepared to do their duty at the present time — (hear, hear). The motion was carried. Mr. R. Vicary moved that the following form the committee, with power to add to their number — Messrs. E. Ford, R. J. Haydon, A. Pike, J. Richards, C. J. Wade, J. Stooke, R. Vicary, R. Tucker, Dr. Barham, Admiral Wise, G. Davis, Rev. M. Hawker, Joseph Vooght, J. Bowden, J. B. Stooke, Thos. Pinsent, J. Avery, E. S. Bearne, H. Michelmore, C. Gaye, J. A. Chudleigh, J. S. Stevens, W. Creed, W. Lambshed, C. Veale, R. Webb, J. Bickford, J. Vooght, T. Cornish, F. Buckland, Rev. Dr. Good, J. Harris, and Capt. Lethbridge. Mr. Buckland made a telling speech seconding the motion. He had been an elector of South Devon for twenty-one years and had never yet had the opportunity of recording a vote. Many in that room could no doubt say the same — (hear, hear). But the state of things had now altered, and it was for them now to take advantage of their new political privileges —(cheers). … (continues) …
