Cullompton Petty Sessions: … A Dangerous Practice: A Burlescombe innkeeper, named George Pinsent, formerly of Tiverton, pleaded not guilty to a summons charging him with leaving a horse unattended on the highway. Superintendent Collins said he was at Uffculme on August 25th, and outside the Brewery premises he saw a horse attached to a trap, in which was seated a little child about two or three years of age. Witness entered the premises and called for the defendant who came out from an inner office. Defendant: The horse was tied up to a crook in the wall; a man afterwards saw me unfasten the rope. Supt. Collins: No, it was not tied up; and even if it were, you have no right to leave a little child at the mercy of whatever might come along. The chairman: The Bench have carefully considered this case, which they dismiss on payment of the costs.

Cullompton Petty Sessions: … Theft at Burlescombe. John Burridge, labourer, of Halberton, was summoned for stealing 8d., the money of George Pinsent of Burlescombe. Mrs. Pinsent, wife of George Pinsent, of the Waterloo Inn, said on Monday 6th June, she left the defendant and another man in the kitchen while she went outside. Later witness saw the defendant putting back a money box, which was kept in the cellar. In reply to a question, defendant said he had not touched the box; but on witness calling her husband, defendant said he would own up as he took the money (8d) for a joke. Defendant pleaded guilty and said he saw the box and for a joke took out eightpence in copper. He did not intend stealing the money and gave it up to Mrs. Pinsent as soon as she asked for it. In consideration of the defendant’s good character, the Bench bound the defendant over in his own recognizance to cume up for judgement when called upon.
