Hampshire Advertiser: Saturday 6th September 1856

The Indian Vegetable Fibrous Flesh Rubber: We have been requested by Mr. Pincent, of the Peninsular and Oriental Company’s service, to examine and test the merits of a novel article of commerce just introduced by him for the use of bathers in hot or cold, sea or freshwater. It is in appearance not unlike a piece of curled hair cloth of a light brown colour, and of the consistency of Markham’s horsehair gloves. It is the membranous inner coating of a species of Gourd, produced in certain districts of Eastern Asia, and in those countries where the use of the bath is so universal, the luxurious natives and all English and European residents highly value it. Its excellence as a flesh-rubber is in its being so pliant and flexible after immersion that the most rapid friction will not hurt or injure the most delicate skin, and its use while in the bath, or out of it before dressing, thoroughly cleanses and imparts to the body a healthful glow and reaction which secures the full benefit of the bath. Having, ourselves, repeatedly used it, we can fully attest its excellence. Besides the testimonies in its favour from other physicians in India and this country, Mr. Pincent possesses those of Doctors William and Joseph Bullar, of Southampton, who report it as the most efficient flesh- brush for cleansing and stimulating the skin.

Hampshire Advertiser: Saturday 6th September 1856

Extension of the Omnibus Accommodation to Portswood and Highfield: A meeting was held last night of the leading parties in this project, and they will commence on Monday next to run an omnibus five times a day from and to the extreme points of Portswood and the Docks. This accommodation cannot be prosecuted at first without a subscription that shall meet the outlay over the return, and it is therefore asked of the residents generally to give their contributions towards it, and in a short time it will become self-supporting. At present a guarantee of £104 per annum for two years has been given to Mr. Goddard, in addition to his earnings by the omni-buses. The fare will be 3d. Any parties interested, or disposed to assist the project, can pay a subscription to Mr. Pincent, Mr. Pegler, Mr. Elliston, or Messrs. T. and G. Elliott, of Portswood.

Western Times: Saturday 12th July 1856

Board of Guardians: Wednesday: Wm. Creed, Esq., Chairman. Mr. Moxhay, the master, reported that Wm. Mayne, a pauper, had broken out of the house, and was found to have in his possession some pieces of lead and leather, supposed to be the property of the guardians. He had been apprehended and remanded by the magistrates. Mr. Moxhay also reported that Grace Keener had been sentenced to 21 days’ imprisonment for misconduct, and for refusing to work when requested to do so. A letter from Mr. W. M. Cann, medical officer of Dawlish, was read, calling attention to the case of Wm. Sercombe, of that parish, who cut his throat about four months’ since. He had been called upon by the overseers to treat him and for three months, his attendance had been required twice, and since that period once a day, as he could be fed only by means of the stomach pump. Whilst aware that he could make no legal claim for extra fees. Mr. Cann felt that he fully deserved some extra remuneration for such an extraordinary case. In the discussion which ensued, a fear was expressed by some that, whilst the services of Mr. Cann in this instance clearly entitled him to additional remuneration, such a course might establish a dangerous precedent for the other officers. Eventually, on the motion of Mr. Wakeham, seconded by Mr. Taylor, it was resolved by a majority of 11 to 8 that, provided the sanction of the Poor Law Board be obtained, the sum be awarded to Mr. Cann. The Tender Committee recommended that Messrs. Pinsent’s tender for the supply of coals to the house was accepted. The recommendation was adopted. A letter from Sir J. B. Y. Buller, Bart., M.P., was read, acknowledging the receipt of the petition adopted by the Board, praying for the formation of county boards for the management of county rates, and promising to take an early opportunity of presenting it to the House of Commons. In reply to Mr. E. Cuming, the Clerk stated that the amount demanded from this union for the past quarter was about the same as its contribution to the county rates had averaged for the last seven years. The Board adjourned.

Newton Abbot: A narrow escape: A child called Bearne, living in Newton Bushell, fell into the leat near Mr. Pinsent brewery, on Saturday afternoon last, and but for timely assistance would have been drowned. This is one of the dangerous places referred to by the coroner during a recent inquest held. It is to be hoped that the way-wardens of both the parishes will be compelled to fence up those places where the lives of children have been so frequently put in jeopardy.
