Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Friday 11th October 1867

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: The weekly meeting of this board was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. R. Wolfe presiding. The Rev. F. S. Wall, presenting the report of the Visiting Committee, reported that there were 228 paupers in the house. The report of the Medical Committee, read by Mr. Rendell, showed that satisfactory returns had been received from the whole of the medical officers. Dr. Barham, in bringing up the report of the Sanitary Committee, stated that they had received a letter from the Rev. Mr. Lightfoot, complaining certain nuisances at Cockwood, and they had instructed the Inspector to inspect them, and to report thereon. The Clerk next read the report of the Finance Committee. It recommended the settlement of the clerk’s, relieving officers’, master’s, and other salaries, amounting to £117 18s., and medical officers’ salaries, amounting to £118 16s. 2d., for the past quarter, besides 18s. for a special attendance fee. The report, and those that preceded it, were adopted. Mr. Creed said that during the past week he had seen Mr. Whiteway, the Chairman of the Sanitary Committee at Kingsteignton, and that he should be willing to attend at the next board meeting, and give some fresh information with regard to the sewerage improvements that had been commenced in the parish, and which were present stopped in consequence of injunction obtained by Mr. Pinsent from the Court of Chancery. Several guardians expressed an opinion, from what they had recently heard, that the injunction only had reference to the cesspit. On the motion Mr. Cuming, seconded by Mr. Creed, the Clerk was directed to write to Mr. Whiteway, requesting him to attend the next meeting of the board.

Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Friday 27th September 1867

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardian: The weekly meeting of this body was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. R. Wolfe in the chair. The Rev. F. S. Wall reported that there were 223 inmates in the house. … Mr. Wade next adverted to the Kingsteinton sewerage question and stated that with the other members of the committee that were appointed a short time ago by the board, he had inspected the works. They found that the drain for about 100 or 150 yards was carried along the centre of an embankment, and that, as it was lined with bricks, the joints of which were not cemented, there was continual leakage. An injunction had been served on the local authorities, so that they could not proceed with the works. He agreed with Mr. Pinsent who had taken action in the matter with a view to stopping the works, that the sewer would prove a great nuisance to him. After a few remarks from the other members of the committee the subject dropped. …

Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Friday 6th September 1867

NEWTON ABBOT: Board of Guardians: The weekly meeting of this board was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. Wolfe presiding. A committee consisting of the Rev. J. M. Hawker, Messrs. J C. Wade, J. Creed, T. Wills, and Dr. Barham was appointed to meet Mr. Pinsent, with a view entering into some amicable arrangement with regard to the sewerage of the parish of Kingsteignton. According to the plans of the board the sewerage of the village of Kingsteignton is intended to be emptied on property belonging to, and near, the residence of Mr. Pinsent. Mr. Pinsent has consequently applied for an injunction at the Court of Chancery, and it has been granted, for the stoppage of the works. The Rev. F. S. Wall, who brought the report of the Visiting Committee stated that there were 219 paupers in the house. Mr. Lawe reminded the board that about eighteen months or two years ago an order was given for the admittance of a pauper named Woodley, into the house as soon as she was capable of being removed. Since then, she had to his own knowledge resided in different parts of the town, and now he said she was in the house. He therefore wanted to know how it was that she had not been compelled to come into the house before. Mr. Tozer, the relieving officer, said that the medical officer would not grant an order for her removal before. The subject then dropped, and the board shortly afterwards adjourned.

Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Friday 30th August 1867

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: The weekly meeting of this Board was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. R. Wolfe the chair. — The Visiting Committee reported that there were 222 paupers in the house. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Cornelius, assistant overseer for the parish of stating that the stagnant water in the public well at Cockwood had been pumped away, and the well had since been filled with good pure rock water, which he had no doubt would prove a great boon to the inhabitants. Virulent diarrhoea had already appeared there. Mr. Creed enquired if the board had taken any steps with regard to the new sewerage at Kingsteignton as he understood that an injunction had been filed in Chancery against proceeding with it. Mr. Bearne remarked that he understood the outlet of the sewer was intended to be on Mr. Pinsent’s property, near his house, and he had consequently obtained the injunction in order to prevent it. The Lord Chancellor had granted the injunction, and the works had accordingly been stopped. As the board had not as yet received any information respecting the matter, the clerk was instructed to make enquiries and to report thereon to board at their next meeting.

COOMBEINTEIGNHEAD: Cottage Garden Society: The annual exhibition in connection with this society took place in the National Schoolroom at Combeinteinghead on Friday last. The weather on the occasion was unfavourable, and this affected the attendance of the gentry of the neighbourhood very much indeed. The obliging hon. sec. (Mr. J. Franklin) and the committee, however, left nothing undone as far as the arrangements were concerned to secure the success that attended former meetings. The room in which the show took place was very tastefully decorated, and the production of the cottagers were fully equal to those of last year. The judges were Mr. W. Hannaford (florist, Teignmouth), Mr. J. Pinsent (Rocombe), and Mr. Smart, foreman to Mr. Hannaford. Miss Creed, of Coombe, exhibited a very pretty model of Coombe Parish Church, while Mr. Hannaford, nurseryman of Teignmouth had a very fine show of greenhouse and stove plants, besides a very beautiful lot of cut balsams. The Teignmouth Artillery band (Mr. Valentine, leader) was in attendance and played well during the afternoon. Among those present were the following: Sir W. Carew and the Misses Carew, Mr. H. B. Wrey and Hon. Mrs. H. B. Wrey, Capt. and Mrs. West, Mr. Huddlestone, Rev. and Mrs. Best, Misses Morris, Mr. Tolcher, Rev. S. H. Sherard, Rev. E.C. Cole and Mrs. Cole, Misses Guild, Rev.

This is the fifth year they have been held since they were re-established, and the support which has been given to the efforts of the committee leaves no doubt as to the permanent feature they are likely to secure in the racing calendar for Devon. … …

Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Friday 11th January 1867

Newton Abbot: Accident: On Saturday evening last, about half-past eight o’clock, while John Michelmore, coachman to H. L. Brown, Esq., of Barton Hall, was returning home from Kingskerswell, he narrowly escaped being run over by waggon. At the Kingskerswell crossing he met two waggons belonging to Mr. Pinsent, brewer, of Newton. The first wagon passed him all right, not so the second, for he was caught by it between the wheels and the wall and was severely jammed. He then fell with his head between the wheels, but fortunately at that moment the wagon stopped, otherwise he must have been killed. He was severely cut about the head, and his left hand bruised. He was assisted to Barton Hall, and attended by Mr. Finch, surgeon.
