Newton Police Court: Present: – Mr. M. Fortescue (in the chair), Col. Walcott, Admiral Cornish Bowden, and Messrs. J. Vicary, F. H. Plumpre, W J. Watts, W. R. Hole and H. E. Brown: In search of Game: William and Walter Baker were charged with trespassing at Bovey Tracey in pursuit of game on December 6th. Both defendants pleaded guilty. John Pinsent, a gamekeeper in the employ of Mr. Bennett, stated that he saw the two defendants with two dogs in Cockles Park. They were beating the cover with sticks, and when he asked them what they were doing they both ran away. The defendant, Walter, said they went in after their dog, which was a terrier, and the other dog, a lurcher, belonged to another lad. The Bench considered the case proved, and fined defendants 15s each inclusive of costs, or in default, 7 days hard labour. The money was paid.
