Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Wednesday 14th September 1910

WATCH THEFT AT NEWTON: A MONTH’S HARD LABOUR:  Yesterday, the Newton Abbot Petty Sessions, Charles Britten, of no fixed abode, was charged with stealing a gentleman’s silver watch, value 30s, the property of Eustace Brodrick, of Highweek, on September 12th. The evidence of the prosecutor was that he was working at Pinsent’s Brewery, and his coat and waistcoat, containing a watch and chain, knife, and pencil-case, were left in the passage. Prisoner came to see Mr. Pinsent, but after waiting ten minutes in the passage left. A traveling showman, named William Henry Whiting, said the prisoner offered him the watch for 6s, saying he wanted to sell it for a chap who was hard up. Witness told him that he could buy new watches for the hoop-la for 4s 9d, and eventually he purchased it for 3s 6d. P.C. Anstey proved the recovery of the watch and the arrest of the prisoner at midnight at the Jolly Sailor Inn. Prisoner pleaded guilty and had nothing to say. There was a previous conviction against the prisoner for an assault on a woman, at Newton, June last, and the Bench now sentenced him to one month’s hard labour.

Licensing at Moreton: Irregular Procedure: … Mr. A. W. Alford (Exeter) applied for the transfer of the license of the Kings Arms Inn, Chagford, from Mr. T. Maddicks to Mr. Jenner, a traveller in advertising specialities: Superintendent Carey objected to Mr. Jenner. He said he had been summoned for drunkenness and discharged with a caution and was not a fit and proper person to hold the license. The Chief-Constable Plymouth had written that a man named Frederick Jenner had also been detained in Plymouth Workhouse for a fortnight as a wandering lunatic but he was not sure about the identity. He was a heavy drinker, and often drunk. Mr. Alford: Were you the man who was locked up as a wandering lunatic? Applicant: No. Were you ever a wandering lunatic? No. What happened this time when you were summoned? I went to a dinner at Truro and lost my legs when I got off the train. Mr. Alford said that Mr. Jenner had already gone into the house, and had paid the outgoing tenant £ 250, so had something at stake. The Chairman: You are not a teetotaller? Mr. Jenner: No, I admit, but I never got intoxicated except when at the dinner. I met several other travellers, and we went into the Cathedral Hotel (Laughter): The Cathedral? Yes, a bad name, I admit. Mrs. Jenner said she had been married for six months. Mr. Alford: You never heard he was a wandering lunatic before? Mrs. Jenner: No; I should not have had him if he were (Laughter): The Chairman! Who has the house now? Mr. Alford: Mr. Jenner is in, but Mr. Maddicks is responsible. Mr. Maddicks: I went out five weeks ago. Mr. Alford: You gave him authority to sell as your agent? Mr. Maddicks: Yes. The Chairman: That’s a poor excuse. We have had cases like that before. Mr. Alford: I admit it is a bit irregular, but it is done all over the country. The Chairman: It is wrong. People have been in this house selling without a license. You have anticipated things in the hope of getting transfer — altogether irregular and an offence. Mr. Alford: There was no intention of that kind. The Chairman (to Mr. W. Pinsent, the owner): Have you been a party to this man, Jenner, going in before he had a license? Mr. Pinsent: Yes. It is irregular. Yes, I know. Are you satisfied with him? I was not asked anything about it. It was not done through my agents at all, but between Exeter and Plymouth. The transfer was granted.
