Western Times: Monday 11th December 1893

Newport v. Newton: This return match was played on the Teign marshes at Newton on Saturday before only a moderate attendance. Newton was without Windsor, Donkin and Jackson, but the vacancies were filled by the inclusion of Taylor of Newton College, and Pinsent. Newport kicked off against the sun and wind … (description of game) … Positions being reversed Newton acted on the aggressive in which Taylor took a prominent part but Morris intercepting dribbled to the home territory, where a lot of scrambling play was witnessed. Pinsent was severely pressed but came through the ordeal in fine style until passing between Webbe and Jones resulted in the latter getting in. … Nothing further occurred, and the game thus ended in favour of Newport by a goal and two tries to one try.

Birmingham Daily Post: Wednesday 6th December 1893

Birmingham Women’s Liberal Unionist Association: A meeting of the members of the association was held at the Central Offices, on Monday evening. There was a very large attendance, in spite of the inclement weather. There present Mrs. Fellows (in the chair) Miss Hadley, Miss Jenkyn Brown, Miss Moseley, Miss Bailey, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Humphreys, Miss Tonks, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Farrow (hon. Sec.) etc. A lecture on “Our Neglected Children, and the Society for their Protection” was given by Mrs. Pinsent, hon. sec. to the local branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Mrs. Pinsent explained the principles and methods of the society, indicating that every endeavour was made to influence the parents before appealing to the law. It was stated that no fewer than 125 local committees had been formed in various towns throughout the country, and all of these were in touch with the central organisation in London. The objects of the association are two-fold, to save and protect the children from cruelty, and to promote wise legislation towards that end. In cases where the aid of the law has to be solicited the society keeps a watchful care over the children concerned, lest there should be any repetition of the cruelty afterwards. At the close, Miss Bailey gave an expression of the thanks of the meeting to Mrs. Pinsent for her excellent lecture.
