Western Times: Friday 23rd January 1880

Newton: Petty Sessions: Tuesday, before G.B. Ellicombe, Esq., (in the chair), W.J. Watts, Esq., Admiral Cornish-Bowden, J. G. Beavan, Esq., Dr. Atkinson, and H. E. Brown, Esq.: Henry Hammacott, who did not appear, was charged with stealing greens of the value of 2d from a garden in the Kingsteignton Road, belonging to Daniel Mogridge, on Wednesday the 14th inst. The facts were deposed by P.C. Salter, and the Bench ordered a warrant to be issued for the apprehension of the defendant: John Knapman: proprietor of the Moor Park Hotel, Chagford, was summoned for having on the 27th Nov. unlawfully attempted to defraud the Great Western Railway Company by using a ticket which had already been used between Moretonhampstead and Newton Abbot: According to the evidence of several railway servants, called by Mr. F. Hockaday, an Inspector of the Company, it appears that on the day named the defendants took a Parliamentary ticket at Moreton by the 10.50 a.m. train to Torquay. He returned to Moreton by the 11.53 a.m. the same day without a ticket, saying he had met a friend at Newton and had forgotten to take a return ticket. Mr. John Mugford, the Station Master at Moreton, accepted a shilling in payment of the fare. By the 7.15 p.m. train from Moreton, the defendant went on the same day to Newton, but did not take a ticket and, at Newton, Mr. Pinsent, instructed by the Station master at Teignmouth, examined his ticket, finding by the number that it was the ticket issued by the 10.50 a.m. train. The defendant said he was guilty of the offence, but he had no intention to defraud the Company: It was pure mistake, He could call Mr. Muggs, the station master at Newton, in confirmation of this, but that gentleman was ill. The Bench told the defendant he ought to know more of the rules of the Company than to believe he could travel twice over the same line with one ticket. They must inflict the full penalty of £2, with £1 2s 6d costs.
