“The Merry Wives of Windsor”: Drama Society’s Great Performance. “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” that most delightful farce was staged by the Leicester Drama Society this week for the concluding portion of their season at the Opera House. You cannot be disgusted with Sir John, despite his coarseness; indeed, in that when the character is well acted our feelings must be one of profound sympathy for the old reprobate, and we must laugh with him at himself. This is certainly the impression made by Mr. Frank D. Clewlow’s fine characterization … … (positive review) … … The suitable amount of tragic weighting to the play was judiciously provided by Mr. Edgar Tyler in the role of Ford, who did not overstep the rage of the seemingly betrayed husband, and Mr. Harold Pinsent made a good foil to him as the quiet, trusting, Page. … (continues) …

The Torquay – Newton Abbot Road: “The Knowle” Arbitration: An Arbitration Court was held in the Town Hall on Friday last to determine the price which should be paid for a strip of land which extends along the frontage of the grounds of the establishment known as “The Knowle,” up to its junction with St. Katherine’s grounds. It has become necessary to acquire this piece of the Knowle grounds in consequence of the road widening which is going on at the spot. … (continues) … In 1922 when it was apparent that the land would be required, the surveyors of both parties met and came to an agreement concerning the amount which should be paid for it, the price namely being £1,600. But the matter subsequently came before the District Valuer, M. F. C. H. Pinsent (sic) and, said Mr. McGahey, this was where the trouble appeared to have commenced. Mr. C. Lee Wright, the surveyor for the sisters, placed the value of the land at £1,625 and the district valuer’s assessment was £480. … … The Town Clerk drew attention to the difference between the District Valuer’s assessment and that of Mr. Wright had argued that the latter had put an inflated value upon the land. The arbitrator will make known his award in due course.

Break-up of Estates: Mr. J. F. Bowden on Effect of Capital Levy: While a levy on capital differed some respects from the original proposal for the taxation of war wealth, it would be a direct incentive to the break-up of estates and the further impoverishment of capital employed in agriculture, said Mr. John F. Bowden in the course of a paper he read at the opening meeting of the Devon and Cornwall branch of the Surveyors’ institution at the Duke of Cornwall Hotel, Plymouth. Mr. F. W. H. Pinsent, Plymouth, presided. The title of Mr. Bowden’s paper was “The Rural Problem: a Retrospect and an Outlook,” in which papers written by him on the agricultural outlook in 1916, on the break-up of estates in 1917, and on the taxation of war wealth in 1920, were reviewed. … …
