Newton Abbot: County Court: Endacott v Pinsent: Plaintiff is a carrier from Bovey to Exeter, and the amount sued for was 7s, for carriage of defendant and wife and a large hamper. Defendant had refused to pay, because he alleged that the hamper had been thrown down by plaintiff’s carelessness, and property, consisting of jelly glasses, wax doll case, and picture frames, had been destroyed. (The articles were part of a bequest of the late Mr. Steer to Miss Christophers, of Heavitree). The case was adjourned for further evidence. There was also a cross summons for the injury and loss arising from the goods being spoiled in the hamper.
