Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: Wednesday: The Rev. R. R. Wolfe presided: The report of the Visiting Committee, read by the Rev. F. J. Taylor, showed the house to be in good order and the number of inmates 282. There were satisfactory returns from all the medical officers. A letter from the Poor Law Board was read stating that although Mr. Brown, the medical officer from St. Mary Church district complied with the regulations of the Board by residing within the district, still they considered his residing at Kingskerswell instead of St. Mary Church must be very inconvenient to the populous residence of the latter, especially as he was not enabled to secure a deputy at St. Mary Church … … A letter from Mr. Pinsent, Kingsteington, was read stating that he should oppose any payment out of the poor rates of the costs incurred by the late action in the Court of Chancery, in which he was plaintiff and the sewer authority defendants. The Board considered they had nothing to do in the matter; it rested entirely with the ratepayers of Kingsteington.

From far and near accounts are received of the uprooting of trees, falling of chimney stacks, stripping of roofs, breaking of glass and numerous other casualties, but fortunately no injury to life of limb. … (review of incidents, includes) … At Greenhill Lodge, Kingsteignton, leading to the residence of T. Pinsent, Esq., the occupants, Mr. and Mrs. Tozer, had a narrow escape. They were sitting by the fire when Mrs. Tozer happened to look out of the window and saw a tree in the act of falling towards the house. They instantly made their exit and had no sooner done it when the tree fell across the house with a tremendous crash, breaking in the roof and smashing into splinters the chair that Mr. Tozer had just left.

Newton: Newton there was great devastation. The skylight of Mr. Davey’s shop, Courtenay-street, was blown out into the middle of the street, and several persons closed their shops to prevent similar mishaps. In Courtenay Park and Seaton-road there is scarcely a house but has suffered more or less. Many trees have been blown down, especially on the hills. At Wood, Bishopsteignton, six large elm trees, nearly 200 years old, were uprooted. At Highweek fifty trees were blown down, Stover about 200, and at Hackun 100. One end of the lodge of Mr. Pinsent, Greenhill, Kingsteignton, was knocked away by the falling of a large tree. At Bickington a chimney was blown down and fell through a house. The Ashburton ‘bus, when on its way home, just escaped demolition; a large tree fell, and nearly knocked the driver of the box. At Teignmouth much damage was done. Trees were uprooted Mr. Gulson’s residence Coombe Vale; the archery ground; and Miss Richards, Winterborn. The Sebastopol brewery chimney was levelled, causing great damage. Shaldon enjoyed comparative immunity, though a monument about feet high, erected to Captain Graham, was blown down.

NARROW ESCAPE AT NEWTON ABBOT: During the gale on Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. Tozer, of Greenhill Lodge, leading to the residence of T. Pinsent, Esq., had a very narrow escape of being killed. They were sitting by the fire, when Mrs. Tozer, on looking out the window, noticed a tree about to fall in the direction of their house. She instantly acquainted her husband of their danger, and they both made their exit as soon as possible. Strange to say, they had scarcely left when the tree, a very large one, fell on the house, knocking in the roof and breaking the chair Mr. Tozer had just before been sitting on into splinters. The skylight of Mr. Davey’s shop in Courtenay-street was blown into the street, and many houses suffered severely.

Charles Quick (on bail), a boy about nine years of age, was indicted for having on 10th September, at Kingsnympton (sic), feloniously set fire to a stack of corn, the property of Gilbert and Ann Pinsent. Mr. Clark prosecuted; Mr. Mortimer defended. Mr. Clark having opened the case, his Lordship said they must have strong pregnant evidence to show that the prisoner had a wicked intention at the time he set fire to the rick. There did not seem to be any such evidence, but rather that the fire was the result of an accident and that when the rick caught fire, the prisoner made an attempt to put the fire out. Mr. Clark said he was very much inclined to think the fire was an accident. He could not call such evidence as would lead the jury to think the prisoner had a felonious intention. Under those circumstances his Lordship directed the jury to acquit the prisoner.

Devon Lent Assizes: An Accident: Charles Quick (on bail) 9, was indicted for having on the 10th September, 1868, at Kingsteignton, set fire to a stack of corn, the property of Gilbert and Ann Pinsent. Mr. Clark prosecuted, and Mr. Mortimer defended the prisoner. After Mr. Clark had stated the case, his Lordship said there must be very strong and pregnant evidence of wicked intention at the time. The presumption was innocence in a boy so young. Mr. Clark said he was bound to admit that the boy was the son of respectable parents, and in his own mind he believed the thing was an accident. What they thought probable was that the boy first set fire to some loose straw, near the rick, that immediately he set fire to it, he saw that it was catching the rick, and that he then tried to put it out with his hat, but as he could not he ran away. His Lordship said there was no evidence whatsoever to show that the boy had malicious intention. Mr. Clark did not call any evidence against the prisoner, and by the direction of his Lordship, the jury returned a verdict “Not Guilty.”
