Field: Saturday 23rd April 1892

Field Topics of the Week: … Angling … Amongst the letters will be found a not unprofitably inquiry by “John Bickerdyke” into the characteristics of a Thames trout, a hint being cast forth that perhaps the fish may be descended from the sea trout. Another correspondent writes corroborating the remarks of Lady Pinsent concerning the illegal fishing on Newfoundland Rivers, and supplies an insight into affairs in that colony, which explain how much practices survive the laws promulgated to abolish them …

NEWTON: The funeral of Mrs. William Pinsent took place on Saturday at Highweek, the body being laid in the family vault with other members of the family pre-deceased. Mrs. Pinsent, who was only 48 years of age, had patiently endured a long illness, and her end although somewhat sudden at the last was not a great surprise to her family, neither did it assuage the grief their loss had entailed. The funeral arrangements were satisfactorily performed by Mr. L. Bearne, and no expense was spared to render the affair as complete as it was possible to do. The coffin was simply superb and wreaths the choicest that could be procured. The hearse and four coaches were supplied from the Globe Hotel and the attendance was fairly numerous, considering the early hour in which the solemn ceremony was performed. The Rector, Rev. S. G. Harris, officiated.

Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Thursday 11th February 1892

Serious Gun Accident in Bovey Tracey: A son of Mr. Pinsent of Whitstone Farm, Bovey Tracey, met with a serious accident recently. On going to look after the sheep he carried his gun with him. While tending the sheep he placed his gun through a hurdle. After finishing he grasped the barrel with the right hand, and while pulling the gun back through the hurdle a jerk must have caused it to discharge. The contents lodged in the fleshy part of his forearm, shattering the muscle. The unfortunate young man is doing well, but it is feared that he will never have the full use of the two smallest fingers of that hand.
