Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Friday 2nd December 1864

County Court: Pinsent v. White: The plaintiff, a brewer of Newton Bushell, claimed the defendant, miller, £4, 11s 6d. balance of account. The defendant paid 6s. 9d. into court, alleging that that was the full amount due: Mr. Templer, who appeared for the defendant, said that his client, in October, 1860, sold the plaintiff quantity of hay at £6 ton, but the plaintiff had only allowed him in his account after the rate of £5 10s. a ton for it, being on the whole £3 9s. 9d. less than it should be. Mr. Pinsent had also charged interest on the debt due, which he was not entitled to do. Mr. Pinsent insisted that he agreed to give only £5 10s. a ton for the hay. He also stated that he bought hay of equally good quality for similar price at the time of Mr. Jabez Mugford. Mr. Harris and Mr. John Lear, farmers, said that they sold hay of similar quality to the defendant’s, in November 1860, for £6 a ton: Judgment for the defendant, with costs.

Important Railway Meeting: A public meeting convened by requisition was held oat the Town Hall on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of considering the existing railway communication between this town, Torquay and Exeter. The requisition was signed by the following leading inhabitants of the place, the greater portion of whom were present: …  (includes) … T. Pinsent, jun. … (complaints about the South Devon Company service by Mr. Harris and discussion of a possible competing Teign valley line: … rebuttal by South Devon representatives) … In reply to Mr. Harvey and Mr. Michelmore, Mr. Harris stated that it was proposed to extend the Teign Valley line from Jew’s Bridge through Bella Marsh, round by Sandford Orleigh, across the Ashburton Road, down by Lower Bradley, thence to near Wolborough Church, over the Decy to Kingskerswell on to Torquay, leaving St. Mary Church on the left, and to come out near Morgan’s Nursery. He did not think it was intended to go through the town of Torquay. The South Devon Company might therefore rest assured unless they provided better accommodation, their new line would be cut. The amendment was then put to the meeting and carried by a large majority. Messrs. E. Ford, W.J. Watts, Bearne, E.C. Kent, T. Pinsent and J. Stevens were appointed on the committee to carry the amendment into effect. A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman for presiding brought the meeting to a close.

Mr. Francis appeared for the defendants. On the evening …  inst., Elizabeth Thorne, residing at Hackney, saw the boys driving four horses towards the place where all of them were killed.

William Carnall (?) saw the boys going across the marshes towards Hackney about an hour afterwards, they returned, when Moyse told him that two horses had fallen into a pit. Moyse told (?) him the place, but the other defendants ran away. He afterwards found two horses in a pit; one was dead and the other seriously injured by a stake having entered its side. The complainant’s brother (Henry Pinsent) stated that Moyse had told him that it was Partridge or Sanders who had driven the horses into the pit. Francis objected to this being taken as evidence: The defendants not having been present at the time. The magistrate dismissed the case, remarking that the complainant ought (not?) to have had so dangerous a place round.

Charge of Stealing a Spoon: John Frost was charged with stealing a spoon, the property of Thomas Graves, carpenter of Uffculme. Elizabeth Graves, the wife, said that she missed a spoon on the I8th of April, and having seen one which she considered to be hers in the defendant’s house, she sent for it, but did not obtain it. She was sure the one produced, which was found in the prisoner’s house by P.C. Pinsent, was hers; but there was no private mark on it, and she could only tell from the general appearance. The families lived in adjoining houses, and frequently visited one another. The Bench considered the evidence was not sufficiently strong to send the case for trial and dismissed the defendant with caution.

ASHBURTON REGISTRATION: FIRST DAY: The revision of the list of Parliamentary voters for this borough was commenced at the Market Rooms, on Wednesday last week, and was continued until Friday, the revising barrister being Richard Roope, Esq., Mr. John Beer (of the firm of Beer and Rundle, of Devonport), assisted by Mr. G. Gaunter, Mr. H. Tozer, and Mr. White-Way (of Ashburton) attended on behalf of the Conservatives Mr. F. B. Cuming (of Totnes), with Mr. R. Tucker (Ashburton), and Mr. Windeatt (Totnes), watched the cases for the Liberals. … (description of challenges) … Mr. John Furneaux (Buckfastleigh) claimed in respect of property consisting of a building at Old Mill, Ashburton, and he was objected to by the Conservatives as he has also been for two years past. The claimant stated that he rented the building (a drying loft) of Mrs. Pinsent at £10 a year. He used the loft for the purpose of drying shreds and glue pieces. He had not, however, as yet sold any of the shreds this year but he had forwarded about £20 worth to market.  He obtained the shreds from Messrs. Hamlyn, tanners of Buckfastleigh, to whom he was a nephew, and acted as clerk. The shreds were given to him by his employers. Mr. Beer contended that the claimant was nothing but a “pretence” occupier. Moreover the building was in such a wretched and dilapidated condition, the roof and floor being full of holes of considerable size, that it was monstrous to suppose such a place was worth £10 a year for any purpose whatsoever. Indeed, he considered the building so insecure, that he apprehended no sane person would ever venture there; much more give £10 a-year for it.  The Barrister remarked that if the claimant was foolish enough to pay £10 a-year for the loft, the vote must be retained.
