A DANGEROUS PRACTICE: Visitor Killed Shaldon. Yesterday an inquiry was held by Mr. G. F. Kellock (deputy coroner), of Totnes, at the Town Hall, Teignmouth, touching on the death of Edgar Candy, age 27, a civil engineer, of Balham, London, S.W., whose death occurred Teignmouth on Shaldon Regatta Day under circumstances already reported. The deceased accompanied William Henry Pinsent, brewer, of Newton Abbot, and William James Davis, solicitor’s clerk, of Teignmouth, to Shaldon Regatta. They went on the roundabouts, Candy getting on the outside “horse.” He sat with his back to the “horse’s” head, and while going round apparently attempted to turn round, and fell into the road. He was subsequently taken to the Teignmouth Infirmary in an unconscious condition, and found by Mr. Ernest E. C. Price, the house surgeon, was found to be suffering from concussion of the brain, and from these injuries he succumbed. The coroner said the deceased seemed to have been riding in a very loose way, and there was a question as to whether it was right for the roundabout to continue while the deceased was in that unsafe condition. The jury returned a verdict of “Accidental death,” adding a rider to the effect that the practice of permitting persons to stand on the -platform or sit in wrong positions on the horses while the machine was in motion was very unsafe.

Teignmouth Bankruptcies: … William Henry Pinsent, of Higher Brimley terrace, Teignmouth, a brewer’s assistant, also came up for public examination. Mr. Templeman appeared for the debtor.
Pinsent stated that when he was appointed brewer’s assistant, he commenced with a salary of £2 10s a week, but during the last five years had received £3 10s a week. His employer, who was his father, also allowed him wine, spirits, vegetables, dairy produce, and other things. He had a wife and two children.
He commenced a boarding house business in September 1909, when he had overdraft £209 at the bank, which had since been increased to £300. He executed a deed of assignment some time since, because he was anxious that his father should not know the full extent of his indebtedness.
There was a scholastic bill owing for £40 in respect of one his children. There was a loss of £120 in connection with the business. His wife borrowed money unknown to him. He had never been engaged in any speculative gambling transactions. Bad health had been the only reason for his not attending to his business in a proper manner. He had communicated with trades people not to give his wife further credit, but they had continued to do so.
He was employed by his father and thought that he would pay his liabilities. The examination was concluded.
