Taylor v. Vigus: Plaintiff is a coachbuilder, and defendant the owner of sawmills. Claim £3 2s for one pair of wheels, repairing perambulator, and other work done, also 1s money borrowed. Mr. Floud, who appeared for the defendant, said he had paid two guineas into court, which he considered was a fair price for the work done, as for the shilling, his client denied having borrowed any money from the plaintiff. Plaintiff said when he received the order from Mr. Vigus there was no agreement as to price, and the price he had charged was a very fair one, and he called a coachbuilder, named Phillips, who said the amount sued for was a very fair charge. Samuel Westcott said he made the wheels, and the labour for the woodwork was 14s, and he also considered that the £2 charge for the wheels was a fair price. Mr. Floud, for the defence, called Mr. Short and Mr. Pinsent who both agreed that 30s was a good price, as the wheels were common ones, not proper coach wheels. They also gave evidence as to the other work, the charge for which they said was exorbitant, and they thought the money paid into court was quite sufficient for the work done. Mr. Floud, on the part of his clients, said they agreed to pay what was far, but the charge not made was an exorbitant one. Judgment for the plaintiff for £2 10s

Western Morning News: Thursday 10th March 1870

Important Question under the Bankruptcy Act: An adjourned meeting for last examination in the bankruptcy of Wm. Bartlett Whiteway, of Kingsteignton, was held at the Exeter County Court yesterday, Mr. Fryer appearing for the bankrupt, and Mr. Petherick for a creditor — Mr. Pensent, spirit merchant, of Newton, to whom the bankrupt had given a promissory note. Whiteway was insolvent in 1855, and Mr. Petherick contended that as he had never received a certificate of discharge the proceedings under the first bankruptcy were still pending, and that the present petition ought therefore to be dismissed. Mr. Fryer said he took counsel’s opinions before filing the present petition, and the opinion was that the old bankruptcy did not prevent his client coming into court in respect of new debts. The practice, he said, was to adjourn the proceedings from time to time until the first bankruptcy should be disposed of. The case was finally adjourned for two months. Before the next meeting application will be made to the chief judge bankruptcy impound the proceedings under the old bankruptcy.

District News: Cullompton: The Cullompton petty session was held on Monday before J.C. New and C. R. Collins, Esquires, when Thomas Bennett and Henry Pring, of Silverton, dairymen, were charged with trespassing in search of rabbits: Henry Hutchings, a lad in the employ of Mr. Hodge Dorrick of Silverton, deposed to seeing the accused with three dogs coursing a rabbit in the road, which ran into his master’s field followed by the dogs. The defendants entered the field and the witness saw them beating the hedge; subsequently saw Henry Pring with a rabbit he said he had caught. Defendants did not deny the charge, and were fined 2s 6d each, with expenses. James Anning, of Culmstock, labourer was charged with stealing a bag of barley meal and bran, value 1s 2d, from Martin Troake, labourer. Sarah Troake, wife of the complainant, said on returning from her work on the 27th December, she went to Culmstock village and purchased half a peck of barley meal and a peck of fine bran, which was put into a bag. She went to the Three Tuns to look for her husband and put the bag on the table in the kitchen. Accused and many others were there. Went to the bar to look for her husband and on returning to the kitchen found the bag gone and gave information to the police. P.C. Pinsent went to the prisoner’s house, and asked for a bag he brought home the grist in, when the wife said he borrowed it, and ought to have returned it long ago. The defence was that the accused picked up the bag outside the house, and not knowing whose it was, kept the contents. Case dismissed.
