Cullompton Petty Sessions: … Theft at Burlescombe. John Burridge, labourer, of Halberton, was summoned for stealing 8d., the money of George Pinsent of Burlescombe. Mrs. Pinsent, wife of George Pinsent, of the Waterloo Inn, said on Monday 6^th June, she left the defendant and another man in the kitchen while she went outside. Later witness saw the defendant putting back a money box, which was kept in the cellar. In reply to a question, defendant said he had not touched the box; but on witness calling her husband, defendant said he would own up as he took the money (8d) for a joke. Defendant pleaded guilty and said he saw the box and for a joke took out eightpence in copper. He did not intend stealing the money and gave it up to Mrs. Pinsent as soon as she asked for it. In consideration of the defendant’s good character, the Bench bound the defendant over in his own recognizance to cume up for judgement when called upon.
