Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Friday 24th July 1874

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: Wednesday: Rev. R. R. Wolfe, chairman: … (school mistress salary increased to L. 25) … They have also been informed that the children of the persons on the permanent list of paupers have, as a class, been more regularly at school than the children of other poor people; they fear that some misapprehension has existed at some of the places in the Union as to the practice of the Board of Guardian. The committee has, in regard to the general question, come to the following resolutions: 1. That, unless the education of any child be provided for from some other source, the Board of Guardians pay for all pauper children between 5 and 13, according to the attendances shown on the cards given to the children. 2. The payments are made quarterly to the teacher. 3. That each relieving officer shall enter in a book, to be specially kept for that purpose, the name of such pauper children as shown upon each card and that each such card bear a separate number; That the card be amended to show the number of times when the school is open. 5. That the Local Government Board be requested to apply for a short Declaratory Act, or additional Act to enable the Boards of Guardians (in addition to or substitution of the power already given) to pay the master or mistress of any school or School Board, or Board or Committee of Management of any schools approved by the Board of Guardians … …  Some gentlemen assumed that they were bound to give an extra grant, but the Act only said that they might do so, and consequently he considered where a thing had worked well it should not be interfered with: Mr. Pinsent seconded the amendment. …

East and South Devon Advertiser: Saturday 9th May 1874

Lord Mayor’s Day at Bovey Tracey: Formerly Mayor’s Monday which usually falls on the first Monday in May was a day of great festivity and rejoicing. It was universal in the parish. Every farmer and his son or sons, as the case might be, were expected to attend on horseback, and as true allegiants accompany the Lord Mayor in beating the boundaries of the parish. The custom evidently originated many hundred years ago and up to last year it has been observed annually. Of late years, however, it has been held only to witness the declining state of its own existence. A few of the freeholders of the parish have struggled hard, but in vain, in carrying out the oath they took in the year, when smacking their lips on the magic stone on Bovey Heath, they swore never to abandon any of the observances of their forefathers … (ended by land enclosure) … (dinner held, attended by – list) … J. Pinsent … (toasts and speeches).
