Torquay Times and South Devon Advertiser: Friday 27th July 1928

Police Court: Monday – Before Mr. S. Bulleid (in the chair), and Alderman J. H. R. Collins: Application for Separation Order: Annie Violet Pinsent, of Redcliffe, Chelston, applied for a separation order on the grounds of desertion against her husband John Thomas Pinsent, now residing in Richmond, London. Applicant stated that she was married on July 9th, 1921, at Newton Abbot. They went to live at Dartmouth where her husband carried on an electrical business of his own. The business was not very successful, and they left there twelve months later and went to live at Bideford. Here her husband was employed for about four years as an electrical worker. During the time they lived at Bideford there was a little trouble between her and her husband on account of another woman. Later he left the applicant and came to Torquay from which place he sent her money. After a short period, she rejoined her husband at Torquay, but as soon as she arrived, he went to live at Newton Abbot. She obtained a situation in Torquay, which she had retained for fourteen months up to the present time. Whilst at Newton her husband continued to support her and the two children. At Easter, 1927, he visited her, and then disappeared. She subsequently learned that he was living in Richmond. For four weeks she received nothing, then for eight months she received 30s and sometimes £1 per week. Later he worked for a Plymouth film company. During the last three months she had received only 10s from him. There were two children from the marriage—one lived with her people, and the other with her husband’s people. Her husband had explained to her that the reason he had sent no money recently was because he was helping his sister, whose husband was out of work. He had never offered to make a home for her, but if he did, she was willing to go to it provided she was allowed to take the two children with her. After long deliberation and a retirement, the Bench came to the decision that the case should be adjourned until October 29th so as to give time to the parties to make such arrangements as would allow them to pursue a married life together.

Torquay Wife’s Application: The magistrates adjourned an application under the Married Women’s Act until October 29th. The application was made by Annie V. Pinsent, of Redcliffe, Chelston, Torquay, against her husband, John Thomas Pinsent, an electrician, at present residing in Richmond, London. The magistrates hoped the pair would resume married life together. Applicant said they were married on July 9, 1921, at Newton Abbot. They first resided at Dartmouth, but the husband’s business did not pay, and they moved to Bideford. Whilst there, trouble arose. Subsequently the husband removed to Torquay, leaving her behind. She rejoined him but he went to live at Newton Abbot. Over 12 months ago he left her, and the witness eventually learned he was in London. During the last 13 weeks her husband had been in work, but the witness had received only two payments of 5s. She would be quite willing to live with her husband.
