Southampton Town Council: A meeting of this Council was held at the Audit-house on Wednesday afternoon, when there were present the mayor (Alderman Perkins) in the chair; Aldermen Emanuel and Furber; Mr. Senior-Bailiff G. P. Perkins; Councillors Le Feuvre, Aldridge, Davie, Chipperfield, Scovell, Abraham, Martin, Payne, Bishop, and Hickman. Mr. H. J. Pinsent, Mr. W. F. Maund, and Mr. Osmond were present as a deputation: THE WATER SUPPLY TO AND DRAINAGE OF PORTSWOOD: The Town Clerk read a communication from Mr. T. Taylor, of the Local Government Act Office, enclosing one from Mr. W. F. Maund, of Portswood, a Guardian of South Stoneham, addressed to the Secretary of State, complaining that whereas the inhabitants of Portswood, Bevois-valley and St. Deny’s were paying borough rates, and for a nuisance inspector, to the Southampton Town Council, these districts were without any drainage, except into dead wells, the consequence being that the water in the live wells was in numerous instances rendered unfit for use through percolation, and the consequences might prove most disastrous should any epidemic arise, particularly in St. Deny’s, where the population was large and poor … (continues) … Mr. Davis moved, and Mr. Hickman seconded, that the matter be referred to the Special and General Works Committee. Mr. Le Feuve said he might remind the deputation and the Council that when the subject was discussed at a public meeting at Highfield Mr. Pinsent and himself were thoroughly hooted down because they wished to introduce health and happiness into the place at a small increase in the rates. This was in no doubt a crucial question with regard to Portswood, and if the existing representatives of the tything expressed themselves in favour of introducing the Local Board of Health there they would stand a very nice chance of being unseated in the succeeding November for doing that which it was said would increase the taxation. … (continues) … The Town Clerk said there was also a letter from Mr. Pinsent, and perhaps the Council would like to hear it read as well. Mr. Pinsent then said he should be happy to attend the meeting of the committee, and to explain to them the disgraceful state the district of Portwood was in at present. He also referred to the attempts that had been made to introduce the Local Board of Health there, but in each instance, they had been beaten, mainly owing to the opposition of the Late, Mr. W. H. Mackey and Mr. Skelton. The motion for referring the subject to a committee was carried and the deputation withdrew …

Southampton Town Council: … The Drainage of Portswood: The Town Clerk read a communication from Mr. T. Taylor, of the Local Government Act Office enclosing one received from Mr. W. F. Maund, of Portswood, a Guardian of South Stoneham … …  discussion of poor drainage and contaminated wells and reluctance of some to pay for improvements … … Mr. Pinsent (one of the deputations) was sure many of the inhabitants would adopt the view that he took. Alderman Furber, it was true lived there, but his wells were comparatively new, and he had not to submit to the contaminations which many of those, like himself, who had lived there some years were obliged to endure, and was not therefore, he urged, in a position to judge of their necessity. From the well in the neighbourhood of Portswood Park the refuse was actually coming out into the pathway, During the mayoralty of Mr. Palk, some years ago, he (the speaker) took the trouble to interest himself in the subject, and called a meeting. … (continues) … …

Southampton Borough Quarter Sessions: The summer quarter of these sessions was held at the Guildhall yesterday (Tuesday), before the Recorder (Mr. Montague Bere, Q.C), who was accompanied on the bench by the following magistrates: Mr. J. H. Cooksey, Alderman Coles, Mr. J. Bernard, Mr. H. J. Buchan, Mr. E. Palk, Alderman Emanuel, and Colonel Stretton. The following gentlemen were sworn on the grand jury: — Messrs. W. H. Ogden, C. W. A. Jellicoe, H. J. Pinsent, J. F. Hattatt, J. O. Parminter, T. A. Skelton, A. Bedborough, A. Pegler, J. P. Hine, T. Bayley, F. Slade, C. E. Bull, G. S. Norman, W. Lunn, J. Hannen, T. Lashmore, W. H. Rogers, W. Alexander, G. M. Tupper, and T. C. Elliot. The Recorder, in addressing the grand jury, said that he would not detain them long as there were but two cases in the calendar calling for notice. The first was that of two young men, named Ramsay and Fitt, who were charged with stealing a quantity of brass knobs, apparently door and bell handles. This offence, which at one time was much practiced as a lark among the upper classes, was nearly obsolete. The question for the grand jury was whether these young men had any intention of stealing, and if not, they could not return a bill. He would next call attention to the case of George Henry Henderson, against whom were brought three charges of having illegally dealt with property, placed in his custody.

Kingsteignton: The Independent School Treat was held on Thursday. The six-score children were conducted to Were Barton, the residence of Mr. Pinsont who is a well-known friend to the cause: After recreation followed a good tea from the hands of those who cared no only for their temporal but spiritual welfare. Visitors who had come from the towns and villages around next took care of themselves. Tea being over, all retired with the little ones and enjoyed themselves to their hearts’ consent.  A new game was introduced, which was especially interesting to the ladies. Mr. Rowe, the pastor, devoted the greater part of the time in distributing fancy goods which highly pleased the little folks. The sports terminated at a reasonable hour. Great praise is due to the ladies for the very efficient manner in which they prepared and carried out the entertainment.

The Exeter Female Christian Union Society comprising about 50 members — married and single — all except its officers being of the fair sex, had their annual picnic at Roberts’ Farm, Exwick, yesterday: The weather was fine and the party numerous. The tea, over which Mesdames Huxham, Pinsent, and Rolestone presided, was, as may be imagined, both in quantity and quality, such as became the place and the party. Various amusements were provided after the tea, and a very pleasant afternoon was spent.
