Sudden Death at Newton Abbot: A sudden death occurred at Newton yesterday afternoon. It seems that Mrs. Elizabeth Bailey, 48, housekeeper to Mr. W. S. Pinsent of High week-street, left home to attend a funeral, and on reaching the almshouses in Wolborough-street she could go no further. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Tucker, a brother-in-law and sister, who are on a holiday in the town, were with her at the time, and they removed her into the almshouse occupied by Mrs. Harvey. Medical aid was summoned, but on Dr. Scrase arriving he pronounced life extinct. The death has been reported to the coroner, it is improbable that an inquest will be held, as Dr. Scott had been attending the deceased for heart trouble for some time past.

Household Brigade v. Royal Engineers: Some brilliant batting was witnessed at Burton’s Court, Chelsea, when this annual match was decided. The Brigade batted first … The innings which lasted three and a quarter hour was declared closed at 330 for eight wickets. Noble took three wickets for 111, Mackay three for 49, Egerton one for 29 and Pincent one for 41. Having just over two hours in which to get 331 runs to win, the visitors made a bad start losing five wickets with only 22 on the board; eight were down for 132, but on Pincent joining Du Boulay some fine hitting was witnessed. The score had been carried to 234 when the latter was splendidly caught at the wicket for a valuable 32 made in 20 minutes, his best hits being seven 4’s. … … Household Brigade won by 106 runs …

Unfit Parents: Sheffield Lecture on the Care of Defectives: Breeding Criminals: The appalling folly and social tragedy of England’s neglect of the feeble-minded was strikingly illustrated in a lectured delivered in Sheffield last night by Mrs. Hume Pinsent of Birmingham. Her subject was the “Report of the Royal Commission on the Care and Control of the Feeble-Minded.” The most instructive part of the lecture and certainly the most convincing was furnished by a series of diagrams which succinctly illustrated the consequences of defectives becoming parents. Mrs. Pinsent, who was a member of the Commission named sought to emphasize the growing conviction that the root of many of the difficulties social workers and public authorities have to deal with is the disconnected and incomplete powers for dealing with feeble-minded persons … continues at length … Mrs. Pinsent strongly advocated the creation of one central authority, vested with powers of compulsory detention, to deal solely with defectives so that unity and continuity of control, as compared with the present chaotic system might be exercised over them from the cradle to the grave, if necessary. …
