GRO0738 Devonport: Richard Alfred Pinsent: 1852 – 1948

Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Friday 13th December 1878

Re: Wm. Godfrey, late of St. Thomas: In this case Mr. Linford Brown, on behalf of the Trustee in the liquidation of the above-named debtor, applied for an order of the Court compelling Messrs. Pinsent and Co. to hand over to the Trustee certain moneys, the proceeds of the transfer of the debtor’s house and stock. It was alleged that fourteen days before the debtor filed his petition for liquidation he made over his business and stock to Messrs. Pinsent and Co., to whom he was indebted to the extent of about £790. It was contended that this was giving them a fraudulent preference within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Act of 1869, and that the assigning of the whole of his property was an act of bankruptcy. — Mr. Friend, who appeared for Messrs. Pinsent, said the whole of the property was not given up, inasmuch as the book debts, which were set down at about £120, were retained. The house and business were given up in accordance with an arrangement made long before the time stated, and the debtor merely remained on until such time as Messrs. Pinsent could obtain a suitable tenant, which was not until shortly before the petition for liquidation.

Newton Abbot: Petty Sessions: Tuesday: Before Admiral Cornish-Bowden and Dr. Atkinson: … Mr. T. Cornish of Wolfsgrove, Bishopsteignton, was summoned by Mr. J. Harris, Surveyor of Highways, for neglecting to prune his hedges as required by the Act: Complainant stated that he served a notice on the defendant on the 26th September, but up to the 2nd of the present month nothing had been done. The overgrowth, he contends, was injurious to the road, and detrimental to the public. The defendant said he had the hedges trimmed in August, and the only difference between him and Mr. Harris was the height to which they should be trimmed. He denied that in their present state they were injurious to the road, or detrimental to the public. The bench held that the overlapping of the high bushes was injurious and made an order for them to be pruned within ten days, and the defendant to pay the costs: Gilbert Pinsent, of Were Barton, Kingsteignton was summoned for a similar offence in respect to a hedge leading to Hackney. Notice in this case was also served on the 26th September, but the work was neglected, and as the road was only about six feet wide it inconvenienced the public using it: Ordered to be done in ten days, defendant to pay costs. Mr. Pinsent was further charged with obstructing the highway by leaving a quantity of brushwood by the sides of the road to the inconvenience of the public. Complainant admitted that he had given no notice or said anything to the defendant in respect to this charge, and it was dismissed. …
