COMBEINTEIGNHEAD, Near Newton Abbot and Torquay, Devon: CAPITAL FREEHOLD INVESTMENT: MESSRS. BUCKLAND and RENDELL are instructed by the Proprietor to offer for SALE by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Globe Hotel, in Newton Abbot, on Thursday, the 11th day of October, 1866, at Three o’clock in the afternoon, the fee-simple and inheritance of and in the Manor Lordship of Combeinteignhead (otherwise Combeintinhead), and the ESTATE or FARM called “Middle Rocombe,” situate in the parish of Combeinteignhead, and in the occupation of Mr. Pinsent, as tenant. The Farm is very compact, and comprises a recently erected Dwelling House and all necessary Outbuildings, Cellarage, Yards, Gardens, Labourers’ Cottages, and about 164 Acres of Land, of which about 36 Acres are fertile Pasture and Watered Meadow, about 18 Acres of Orchard in full bearing, and the residue, about 110 Acres, superior Arable Land, and is very conveniently situated about four miles from the excellent market town of Newton Abbot, and from each of those favourite watering places, Teignmouth and Torquay. The Property being thus in the immediate vicinity several populous towns, having Railway Stations, and the navigable portion of the river Teign, being also within short distance, every facility for the disposal and conveyance of Corn, Cider and other produce is afforded to the occupier, and an extensive business in the Cider trade could, if required, be carried on. Mr. Pinsent holds a lease of the Farm for 14 years, from Ladyday, 1865, but such term can be put an end to, by either the landlord or the tenant, at the end the 7th year. To Capitalists an opportunity now offers for making good investment, whilst the existence of a Manor in connection with the Estate cannot but materially add to its importance, irrespective of the value of the Manorial Rents which amount to about £11 per annum, and which with all other rights appertaining to the Manor will be included in the sale. To Sportsmen also, excellent opportunity is presented of becoming possessed of property which would minister to their enjoyment, game being plentiful thereon, and fox hounds and harriers being regularly hunted in the neighbourhood. For viewing the Estate apply to Mr. Pinsent, the Farmhouse, and full particulars of the Property, with plan, will be ready 21 days prior to the sale, and may be had of the Auctioneers, Newton Abbot; of Mr. Philip Michelmore, No. 1, Claremont, Torquay; or at the office of Mr. HOOPER, Solicitor, Newton Abbot. Newton Abbot, 8th Sept. 1866.

Newton Abbot: At Newton the Teign rose to a tremendous height, the whole valley of the river being flooded. The waters washed over the embankment of the Moretonhampstead Railway, portions of which were completely swept away. A long raft of timber belonging to Mr. Cull, which was moored on the river, broke from its fastenings, and was carried away. Portions of it were deposited along the bank, but a good deal of it was carried out to sea. The raft was worth £350. A large quantity of timber was also carried away from the Moretonhampstead railway. Mr. Pinsent, coal and spirit merchant, had a large quantity of coal washed away, and Mr. Madge, of the Decoy Farm, lost £80 worth of culm.

Run with the Torquay Harriers: On Friday last the Torquay Harriers met at the King’s Arms Inn, Kingsteignton. Between ninety and one hundred horsemen were present, and one of the best day’s sport was enjoyed during the season. Yelverton, the huntsman, having tried round the Vicarage (the residence of the Rev. J. H. Hext), without getting a start, the estates of T. Pinsent, Esq., and Messrs. Haydon and Snow, were gone over, but with the like result. The hounds were then thrown into a coppice (belonging to M. Mapleton, Esq.), whereon hares were said to be in abundance, but to the surprise of all it was discovered that they had taken up their abode that day elsewhere, for not one could be found. No sooner, however, had the dogs left the coppice than a fine hare going at a rattling pace, was seen to cross a meadow, and then to take a circuitous route over the estate of “Lawyer Tom.” “King John,” who was the first to see the hare, sounded the alarm, and the hounds were instantly put on the scent. Crossing the road from Woolsgrove they made for Bishopsteignton, and then on to Venn. On reaching the top of Haldon the hounds were seen below on Mr. Paddon’s estate, and going in a straight line to Teignmouth Cemetery, then close to the residence of Mr. Moir, over some very stiff walls. Puss however cleared them in capital style, but shortly afterwards was run into at Coombe Vale, after a sharp run of nearly an hour. Another hare was found on Little Haldon, and after a sharp run for a mile poor pussy was “shut up.” Captain Keating had both “bobs,” and Yelverton, the huntsman, together with Stanlake (the whip), and Messrs. Charles Symons (Teignmouth), Heydon, T. Sarah (Newton), were in at the finish.

Western v Sobey: Mr. Karslake, Q.C., and Mr. Cole for the plaintiff, instructed by Mr. Toby; Mr. Coleridge Q.C. and Mr. Kingdom for the defendant, instructed by Mr. Gidley: Mr. Cole said the plaintiff was John Wester, and the defendant was John Ferris Sobey. The declaration stated that a certain sum of money was due to the plaintiff from one Mountford, which he was required to pay, or secure; that Mountford’s wife was entitled to a certain estate, and proposed to mortgage it; that the plaintiff retained the defendant as his attorney, that the defendants accepted the retainer, but did not use proper care and diligence and induced the plaintiff to accept as security, what turned out to be of no value whatsoever; and that the defendant by the exercise of proper and reasonable care, might have ascertained that. The defendants pleaded that he did not accept the retainer, that he did use proper care and diligence, that he did not represent to the plaintiff that the security was good or induce him to accept it, and that the security was sufficient and valid. … Mrs. Mountford said something about getting money from a loan society as she had a better valuation. In consequence of a letter from Mr. Sobey on the 28th, the witness called and learned that Mr. Pinsent, a creditor for £50, wanted a second mortgage.
