Exeter County Court: Tuesday: Before the Judge (Mr. M. Fortescue): … Luckham and Paddon v Keating: The plaintiffs for whom Mr. Floud appeared, are grocers of St. Thomas and the defendant, Captain Keating, represented by Mr. Templar, resides at Teignmouth. The claim was for £20 damage caused to the plaintiff’s van by a collision. It will be remembered that in October Capt. Keating’s horse ran away with his carriage from the London Inn Square and the coachman, being drunk, was unable to control the horses. … Mr. S. Tozer, veterinary surgeon of St. Thomas, was called in to attend to the plaintiff’s horse, and stated that he found the animal shaking all over, and it was lame in one of the hind legs, but beyond this he could discover no other injury. It was lame and probably would remain so. A “summer’s run” might, however, cure this. In his (witness’s) opinion, the horse before the accident was worth about £30, it was a very good animal. The depreciation in its value, in consequence of the accident, amounted to between £8 to £10. Like the lawyers, the witness did not work for nothing — (laughter) — and his charge for attending amounted to about 12s. Mr. Pinsent, wheelwright of the Commercial – road, proved repairing the plaintiff’s wagon, his bill for which amounted £1 19s 10d:  The saddler who repaired the harness stated that previous to the accident the harness was in very fair condition and worth about 50s, but now, in consequence being so much strained, it was past repair, being only worth about a sovereign — [The harness was produced in Court, and inspected by the jury. It seemed to be in a very good condition, and several jurymen expressed their inability to see that any damage had done it all.] … His Honour having summed up the case, the jury in the end gave a verdict against Captain Keating for twelve guineas. The case took several hours in hearing, and the Court did not rise until nearly half past seven.

NEWTON INNKEEPER AND HIS CREDITORS: EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS: Proceedings of an extraordinary nature were revealed at the first meeting of the creditors of John Yenning Pack, innkeeper, of the Swan Commercial Inn, Highweek Street, Newton Abbot, held at the offices of Mr. Francis Watts, solicitor, Courtenay Street, in that town, on Saturday afternoon. Mr T. Andrew, of Exeter, was in the chair; and Mr Watts appeared for the debtor and for several creditors. The debtor was not present, it being stated that he was holding possession of the premises from which he was sought to be ejected by the Torquay Brewing Company, the principal creditor. He was sleeping in a back cellar, and this, said Mr Watts, the debtor was doing for the benefit of the other creditors. Mr Thomas Perry, the secretary of the Torquay Brewing Company, appeared on their behalf, and objected to several claims of over £ 10, on the ground that they did not appear in the statement of the debtor, amongst them being a claim of £31 16s 7d by his brother, Mr W. Pack, of Torquay. Mr Andrew said this omission on the part of the debtor might seem a little strange, but it did not amount to an offence. … (continues … angry discussion by junior creditors and complaints about a forced sale and the brewer’s threat of eviction) … Mr. Perry said the Company had sent men to take possession, and, because they were legally resisted, the debtor’s friends were to be summoned before the magistrates. Mr. Pinsent, brewer, said he lived next door to the debtor, and he was sure that this disturbance would not have happened but for the exasperating conduct of the men placed there by the Brewing Company …  … (complaints about management of the wind up) … Mr. Watts, on behalf of Messrs. Mortimer Brothers, St. Mary Church, formally objected to the clam made by the Torquay Brewing Company: Mr. Perry said the Swan Commercial Inn was a “bound house,” and yet amongst the claims for ale were £9 4s 1d by Messrs. Dimond and Derry (Plymouth), £23 by Messrs. Mortimer and £17 6s 9d by Messrs. Pinsent (Newton), but a portion of the latter, it was explained, was for coals supplied … (continues) … Several creditors intimated that they preferred the debtor to be where he was, and it was then agreed that the matter should be proceeded with by liquidation, Mr. Andrew being unanimously appointed trust to the estate.
