Birmingham Cattle and Poultry Show: Awards of the Judges: … … Dorkings: The Dorking breeders are represented in strong force and by some excellent quality. Last year’s show of coloured, silver grey and white was one of the best which had ever been held at Bingley Hall, and this year’s is quite equal to it, as many as 166 being penned. Most of this year’s winners appear in the list for the first time, and some of the older exhibitors have been ousted. Mr. B. Smith, who figured prominently in the last prize list for coloured cocks and cockerels, is now beaten in both. Mr. J. Harris winning the first named class and Mr. W. S. Pinsent in the other.

As indicating the quality of the latter class, it may be stated that as many as eleven are mentioned by the judges. Mr. Pinsent shows a typical old hen and with it secures the prize, together with the cup when shown in competition with hens or pullets, coloured, silver-grey, or white.

Worcester Journal: Saturday 23rd November 1889

STOURBRIDGE: A Rating Question:  At the Petty Sessions, on Friday, before Colonel Fletcher, Mr. J. B. Cochrane, and Mr. A. F. Godson, M.P., a case which has been before the Bench previously, was called on, in which Mr. C. P. Noel was summoned by the Overseers of Belbroughton for a poor-rate of £9. 5s. on the Yew Tree House, which forms part of his estate. Mr. Waldron appeared for the Overseers, and Mr. Pinsent (Birmingham) for the defendant. The property in respect to which the rate was claimed has been untenanted for several years, and the gardens, shrubbery, plantation, and pools belonging to the house are about 10 acres. Mr. Noel has had a caretaker named Valentine in the house, and a person named Fox has stabled a horse and kept a cart on the premises. Neither of them paid anything to Mr. Noel, they stated, but Valentine, in addition to occupying certain rooms at the house, had the produce of the garden. Mr Noel found coal for airing the house. Valentine said he used the money for the vegetables he sold for his own domestic purposes, and in the course of his evidence he stated that he should have to turn out at a moment’s notice if the house were let. The arrangement was that he was to go to Yew Tree House till he could get into a situation. He had not rendered an account to Mr. Noel of the produce of the garden, and Mr. Noel had derived no benefit from it. The garden was about an acre and a half in extent, and there were greenhouses in which he grew tomatoes. The case occupied a considerable time, and Mr. Waldron contended on behalf of the Overseers that there was a beneficial occupation of the property. Mr. Pinsent urged that there was no beneficial occupation whatsoever by Mr. Noel. Several cases bearing on the point were referred to, and in the end the Bench decided to make an order for the payment of the rate.

A Belbroughton Rating Case: Important Point: At the Stourbridge Police court, yesterday, before Colonel’s Fletcher and Cochrane and A. F. Godson, Esq., M.P., Mr. Charles P. Noel, Belbroughton, was summoned by the overseers of Belbroughton, for poor rates, amounting to £9 5s. Mr. Waldron appeared for the overseers, and Mr. H. C. Pinsent (of the firm of Smith Pincent and Co., Birmingham defended). It was submitted that a man named Valentine had permission from Mr. Noel to live at the Yew Tree House rent free. He was paid no wages, but he sold the produce of the garden, except that which he used himself. Mr. Noel also supplied coal for the airing of the house. A man named Fox, of Belbroughton gave evident that Mr. Noel allowed him to have the stable at Yew Tree House, and also allowed him the use of the coach house to put his cart in. This was allowed him free, and he did nothing whatever in return for Mr. Noel. It was a pure gift. Mr. Waldron contended that Valentine lived on the premises, and was a servant, and acted under the orders of Mr. Noel, the question was as to whether Valentine was beneficially occupied. Mr. Pincent contended that as Valentine had no wages, and that he was at the house by the kindness of Mr. Noel, he (Mr. Noel) was not liable. If anyone took to the house Valentine would have to turn out at a minute’s notice. Therefore, he could not be beneficially occupied. The case lasted a considerable time, and the Bench made an order for payment, allowing the solicitor’s fee.
