Western Times: Friday 11th August 1865

Newton Races: Yesterday: Stewards – Lord Courtenay, Capt. Tolcher, W. J. Watts, Esq., and J. Widbourne, Esq., Secretary, Mr. W. J. Adams, Clerk of the Course, Mr. H. Magor … … The weather being remarkably fine, the attendance of pleasure seekers was large. There was an inviting programme, and each of the five events was well contested: some of the jockeys using consummate patience and judgment.  It will be seen that the colors of Mr. Hoare, Mr. Carlile, Mr. Hadley, and Mr. Hayman, were triumphant. The course was tolerably good going. The committee — Messrs. J. Quick, (Judge), H. Major (clerk of the course), R. Chapple, (clerk of the scales), J. Cull, J. Pinsent, H. Budd, J. Adams, E. White, and J. Milward deserve the highest praise. There was a commodious grandstand. The Newton Rifle Band was in attendance. Mr. Supt. Collins and a staff of officers preserved order. The refreshments were provided by the landlords of the Castle Inn, Torquay, the Golden Lion, Newton, and other popular hostelries. …

Hampshire Chronicle, Southampton and Isle of Wight Courier: August 5th 1865 

Southampton Amateur Regatta Club: The annual regatta commenced Tuesday and concluded Wednesday. The attendance of yachts in the river was very poor, owing probably to the committee not having made arrangements to prevent their regatta clashing with the meeting of the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes, and the Cowes Town Regatta. … (description of events )… The concluding but not the least interesting match of the day was for a prize of six sovereigns, for two-oared boats not exceeding 30 feet in length, manned by members of the S.A.R. Club: Heats:  1st boat to receive £3; 2nd, ditto, £2; 3rd, ditto £1: The entries were as follows:  Gorilla –  Beaton, Shergold and McCormac; Ariel – Bartlett, Gordon, and W. Weston; Waterwitch – Bienvenu, Webster, and John Barnard; Amberwitch – C. Hall, H. Pinsent, and H. Bonsustow. The start was no means a good one, the last-named boat immediately taking this position in the contest. The Gorilla went off leading, followed by Ariel and Waterwitch in succession, but in rounding the mark boat Ariel took first place, which she maintained throughout this and the succeeding heat The prizes as awarded were – 1st Ariel; 2nd Gorilla; 3rd Waterwitch. A duck hunt in an interval between the rowing matches terminated in favour of the duck – The subsequent day’s sport will be found in another page.

Hampshire Advertiser: Saturday 5th August 1865

THE SOUTHAMPTON REGATTA: These sports have now assumed the dimensions of a permanent and vigorous existence. It originated in the efforts of some spirited owners of very small craft, and by careful management and increasing support it has been perfectly matured. The display of bunting continues for two days instead of one. The prizes have been sufficiently large to engage the competition of first-class yachts. … (continues with description of events …) …  The last match was for a Prize of Six Sovereigns, for two-oared boats, not exceeding 30 feet in length, manned by members of the Southampton Amateur Regatta Club: Heats: First boat, £3; second £2; third, £1.

Pinsent, and H. Bonsustow 4 0.

Western v Sobey: Mr. Karslake, Q.C., and Mr. Cole for the plaintiff, instructed by Mr. Toby; Mr. Coleridge Q.C. and Mr. Kingdom for the defendant, instructed by Mr. Gidley: Mr. Cole said the plaintiff was John Wester, and the defendant was John Ferris Sobey. The declaration stated that a certain sum of money was due to the plaintiff from one Mountford, which he was required to pay, or secure; that Mountford’s wife was entitled to a certain estate, and proposed to mortgage it; that the plaintiff retained the defendant as his attorney, that the defendants accepted the retainer, but did not use proper care and diligence and induced the plaintiff to accept as security, what turned out to be of no value whatsoever; and that the defendant by the exercise of proper and reasonable care, might have ascertained that. The defendants pleaded that he did not accept the retainer, that he did use proper care and diligence, that he did not represent to the plaintiff that the security was good or induce him to accept it, and that the security was sufficient and valid. … Mrs. Mountford said something about getting money from a loan society as she had a better valuation. In consequence of a letter from Mr. Sobey on the 28th, the witness called and learned that Mr. Pinsent, a creditor for £50, wanted a second mortgage. Witness said what was the use of that, if there was not enough to pay the witness …
