Express and Echo: Tuesday 22nd September 1868

Exeter Police Court: This Day: Before the Major, F. Franklin, W. H. Geochsias and R. Sanders, Esqrs. Charles Radford, carter to Mr. Trend, gardener of Whipton, was fined 5s and costs for leaving his horse and cart in the street for an unreasonable time without anyone in charge of it. Off to the Races: Robert Puddicombe was summoned by his master, Mr. Pinsent, a wheelwright residing in the Commercial Road, for absenting himself from work without permission on the 17th September. Defendant, who is an apprentice, asked for a half-holiday on Thursday, but was refused. He, however, went to the races, and did not return until the following morning. Generally, the defendant had been stubborn, insolent and lazy. Defendant was cautioned by the mayor, who told him he would have to pay 3s, the value of the work his master had lost by his absence, and together with the expenses. If he was brought here again, he could be sent to prison. Defendant: I will choose the prison now. The mayor: If you don’t pay the 3s and costs you will go to prison for seven days. Defendant: Very well, I’ll go to prison, and to prison he went.

Mr. J. C. Wade at Newton Abbot: On Wednesday afternoon, at five o’clock, Mr. J. C. Wade addressed the Liberal electors at Newton abbot, and the meeting presented a most marked contrast to that recently addressed by the Conservative candidates. The latter being a scene of studied uproar and insult to the Conservative party, whilst at the meeting of Wednesday not the slightest opposition was manifested. The Assembly Room at the Globe Hotel was two-thirds filled with electors and persons visiting the annual cattle fair. The chair was taken by Admiral Wise: Amongst those present were … (includes) … Pinsent …

East Devon Election: Sir L. Palk and Lord Courtenay at Newton: Catechised and Declared Unfit: The Chairman’s Mistake: The Baronet and the Lord Bolt. Chairman Watts withholding what’s wanted: Great Liberal Triumph: The meeting held on Wednesday at Newton was a most signal defeat of the Tories. They now have evoked the feeling that runs so high in the Eastern Division. If the Liberals do not, after this, bring out a candidate, they deserve the worst fate that can befall a constituency – they merit being represented by Sir L. Palk and Lord Courtenay. The managers of the meeting had feared Liberal enterprise and took care to keep the door of the Assembly Room at the Globe closed to the public until the platform was occupied and the upper part of the room filled by known supporters of the decadent party. But when the doors were opened the independent electors marked in and filled the hall. It is estimated that over eight hundred were present. The room was densely packed, and it has been many years since any such a numerous and exciting gathering was seen at Newton. W. J. Watts, Esq., presided, sitting between the two candidates. There were also present … (long list includes) … J. Pinsent …  (political speeches followed by a vote of no confidence in the candidates that was “deemed” to be lost by the chairman) …

Western Times: Friday 26th June 1868

Liberal Meeting at Newton: The Eastern Division has promptly and worthily followed the example of South Devon. The Liberals of the Newton district convened a public meeting at the Town Hall on Wednesday, to form an Association for watching the register on behalf of the Liberals of the Eastern Division. The Tories call this Division a pocket borough. The Liberals will not pocket this affront: they mean to assert their rights and have begun the campaign in the right way. There was a numerous attendance of gentlemen, farmers, and of other classes, and enthusiastic spirit prevailed. C. J. Wade, Esq., who had been chairman of the preliminary meeting of Liberals, was unanimously called to the chair; and amongst those present were:  — R. Vicary, Esq., Admiral Wise, R. Baker, Esq., Michelmore, Esq., J. Vicary, Esq., J. H. Tozer, Esq , (Teignmouth), R. Tucker, Esq. (Ashburton), S. Branscombe, Esq., C. Gaye, Esq., E. C. Kent, Esq., Rev. D. Good, J. Harris, Esq. (Park Hill), Dr. N. J. Haydon (Bovey Tracey), J. Pinsent, Esq., J. Bowden, Esq. (Mayor of Totnes), Capt. Lethbridge, R.N., Capt. Sweeting, R.N., Capt. …  (and others) …  (discussion of political and religious issues) … Mr. John Harris moved that in the opinion of that meeting it was desirable that a Registration Association should be formed in each polling district of the division. Mr. W. Creed seconded the resolution in a brief but energetic speech. Unless they seized the present opportunity of contesting the division when the new Reform Act came into operation, they would be letting the Conservatives get hold upon it, which they might never be able to loosen. They must, therefore, be prepared to do their duty at the present time — (hear, hear). The motion was carried. Mr. R. Vicary moved that the following form the committee, with power to add to their number — Messrs. E. Ford, R. J. Haydon, A. Pike, J. Richards, C. J. Wade, J. Stooke, R. Vicary, R. Tucker, Dr. Barham, Admiral Wise, G. Davis, Rev. M. Hawker, Joseph Vooght, J. Bowden, J. B. Stooke, Thos. Pinsent, J. Avery, E. S. Bearne, H. Michelmore, C. Gaye, J. A. Chudleigh, J. S. Stevens, W. Creed, W. Lambshed, C. Veale, R. Webb, J. Bickford, J. Vooght, T. Cornish, F. Buckland, Rev. Dr. Good, J. Harris, and Capt. Lethbridge. Mr. Buckland made a telling speech seconding the motion. He had been an elector of South Devon for twenty-one years and had never yet had the opportunity of recording a vote. Many in that room could no doubt say the same — (hear, hear). But the state of things had now altered, and it was for them now to take advantage of their new political privileges —(cheers). … (continues) …
