He had just got into his trap to return home, when the horse, which was standing near the stables at Pinsent’s Brewery, slipped on starting and the trap giving a lurch, Mr. Carpenter was thrown out. He was unconscious for some time, but after a while he was conveyed home in a carriage.

Teignmouth Notes: The “Ladies’ Night” at the Constitutional Club on Thursday was largely attended by members of the fair sex. Mr. G. P. H. Rowell, Chairman of the Social Evening Committee, assisted Mr. J. O. Daintree, the energetic Hon. Secretary of the Club, provided a capital programme, which afforded both satisfaction and amusement. The comic element was most ably sustained by the presence of two gentlemen from Newton, Mr. C. B. Kay and Mr. W. H. Pinsent. The large numbers attending the ”socials” and lectures show that there is great interest taken in the welfare of the Club.

Serious Gun Accident in Bovey Tracey: A son of Mr. Pinsent of Whitstone Farm, Bovey Tracey, met with a serious accident recently. On going to look after the sheep he carried his gun with him. While tending the sheep he placed his gun through a hurdle. After finishing he grasped the barrel with the right hand, and while pulling the gun back through the hurdle a jerk must have caused it to discharge. The contents lodged in the fleshy part of his forearm, shattering the muscle. The unfortunate young man is doing well, but it is feared that he will never have the full use of the two smallest fingers of that hand.
