James Hinks and Son: Mr. Joseph Hinks and Bad Trade: Mr. Joseph HInks presided on Monday at the thirteenth ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company, held at the works, Great Hampton Street, Birmingham. The directors’ report showed that net profits for the year ended March 31^st amounted to £4,218 7s 10d. … … There had been bad trade in every direction, not only at home, but also abroad. The volume of business transacted had been fairly satisfactory, but the demand had been chiefly for goods of the cheapest possible kind … … Trade was so bad at the commencement of the years, and especially so in India, that the board decided that Mr. Harry Hinks should proceed to India to investigate the matter. … … The report and statement of accounts were adopted. Mr. Ross Pinsent was re-elected a director, and Messrs. Sharp, Parsons, and Co. were reappointed auditors of the company. ….

Helston Flora Day: An Unqualified Success: Though shorn of the glory which crowned it two years ago, when the Lord Mayor of London honoured it with his presence, and even denied the privilege of being celebrated on the time-honoured 8^th, the ancient festival of Flora Day, kept at Helton on Tuesday, was an unqualified success. … The Horse Show: The horse show was held in the afternoon in the Nansloe Grounds (lent by Mr. H. Montague Rogers). The show was in every way up to the average, and the attendance was most encouraging. The conditions were in every way perfect, and the horses were seen to the best advantage. The horses as a whole were good, particularly the hunters, the winner (the property of Mr. F. Rowe, St. Columb), being an exceptionally fine animal, and was awarded the special prize for the best riding horse in the show. In the class for harness horses there was keen competition between Mr. Pinsent, Newton Abbot, and Mr. H. Montague Rogers, of Helston. The former, however, came off victorious, and won the special for the best harness horse. In the jumping class for cobs and ponies Mrs. H. Montague Rogers won third, failing only at one jump. In the class for all comers, Mr. H. H. Laity’s Fisherman took first after exceedingly keen competition, the jumping being far above the average. The judge was Mr. B. Pethick, of Plymouth.

Moreton Sessions: Before Mr. A. Guy Whipham (in the chair) Mr. C. G. Hayter-Hames and Mr. J. Stevens Neck: Licensing Business: Mr. W. J. Pring, of Exeter, applied for the permanent transfer of the White Hart Hotel, Moretonhampstead, from Mr. G. P. Brook, to himself, as a partner in the firm of Messrs. Pring and Norman, the owners of the license. He stated that it was proposed to put a manageress in charge of the hotel, for the time being until a proper tenant could be found … (discussion) … Mr. A. W. Alford (Exeter) applied for the transfer of the license of the King’s Arms Inn, Chagford, from Mr. T. Maddicks to Mr. F. Jenner, a commercial traveller. Superintendent Carey objected to the licence being transferred to Mr. Jenner. He said he had been summoned for drunkenness and discharged with a caution and was not fit and proper person to hold the licence. … (discussion) … The Chairman: It is wrong: People have been in the house selling without a license. You have anticipated things in the hope of getting a transfer – altogether irregular and an offence. Mr. Alford: There was no intention of that king. The Chairman (to Mr. Pinsent, the owner): Have you been a party to this man, Jenner, going in before he had a license? Mr. Pinsent, yes: It is irregular? Yes, I know: Are you satisfied with him? I was not asked anything about it. It was not done through my agents at all, but between Exeter and Plymouth. I can only go by his testimonials: The transfer was granted.

Licensing at Moreton: Irregular Procedure: … Mr. A. W. Alford (Exeter) applied for the transfer of the license of the Kings Arms Inn, Chagford, from Mr. T. Maddicks to Mr. Jenner, a traveller in advertising specialities: Superintendent Carey objected to Mr. Jenner. He said he had been summoned for drunkenness and discharged with a caution and was not a fit and proper person to hold the license. The Chief-Constable Plymouth had written that a man named Frederick Jenner had also been detained in Plymouth Workhouse for a fortnight as a wandering lunatic but he was not sure about the identity. He was a heavy drinker, and often drunk. Mr. Alford: Were you the man who was locked up as a wandering lunatic? Applicant: No. Were you ever a wandering lunatic? No. What happened this time when you were summoned? I went to a dinner at Truro and lost my legs when I got off the train. Mr. Alford said that Mr. Jenner had already gone into the house, and had paid the outgoing tenant £ 250, so had something at stake. The Chairman: You are not a teetotaller? Mr. Jenner: No, I admit, but I never got intoxicated except when at the dinner. I met several other travellers, and we went into the Cathedral Hotel (Laughter): The Cathedral? Yes, a bad name, I admit. Mrs. Jenner said she had been married for six months. Mr. Alford: You never heard he was a wandering lunatic before? Mrs. Jenner: No; I should not have had him if he were (Laughter): The Chairman! Who has the house now? Mr. Alford: Mr. Jenner is in, but Mr. Maddicks is responsible. Mr. Maddicks: I went out five weeks ago. Mr. Alford: You gave him authority to sell as your agent? Mr. Maddicks: Yes. The Chairman: That’s a poor excuse. We have had cases like that before. Mr. Alford: I admit it is a bit irregular, but it is done all over the country. The Chairman: It is wrong. People have been in this house selling without a license. You have anticipated things in the hope of getting transfer — altogether irregular and an offence. Mr. Alford: There was no intention of that kind. The Chairman (to Mr. W. Pinsent, the owner): Have you been a party to this man, Jenner, going in before he had a license? Mr. Pinsent: Yes. It is irregular. Yes, I know. Are you satisfied with him? I was not asked anything about it. It was not done through my agents at all, but between Exeter and Plymouth. The transfer was granted.
