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.

Kingsteington: Choral Society: A concert of vocal and instrumental music was given by the members of this flourishing society on Thursday evening, the 9th instant, in the schoolroom of the above place, and it was very numerously attended. Amongst the audience were Lord and Lady Clifford and family, J. Manning, Esq., and the Misses Manning, Rev. H. Marrin, Rev. L. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Rev. J. M. Hawker, Mr. Wright, Mr. Pinsent, &c. The programme contained much more difficult music than the previous ones. The rector was in capital voice and gave “God bless the Prince of Wales” in excellent style, which elicited a most rapturous encore. Mrs. Hext and family who are so thoroughly musical, contributed much to the success of the concert, and great credit is due to Mr. Browne for his admirable conducting. We were pleased to notice in the orchestra, which was led by A. H. Dendy, Esq., of Torquay, several well-known local amateurs who always heartily lend a helping hand in making these concerts attractive. We beg to congratulate the members of this society on their improvement and success. They deserve great credit, especially for the correct manner in which the choruses from the “Messiah” were performed.
