Birmingham Daily Post: Tuesday 12th March 1878

Birmingham County Court: Yesterday: Before Mr. J. Motteram, Q.C. Judge: An important Question: The London and Northwestern Railway company v Evans: In this case the company sued Mr. Robert Evans, of the Clive and Street Flour Mills for £10 0s 11d, charge for warehousing goods consigned to him. Mr. Pinsent (of the firm of Messrs. Barlow, Smith, and Pinsent) appeared for the company; and Mr. Hugo Young (instructed by Messrs. Coleman) was for the defendant. Mr. Pinsent said that prior to 1876 the company was in the habit of allowing millers and others to leave their goods at the station without charging any rent. In 1876, the company came to the conclusion that the arrangement should not continue, and a notice was accordingly forwarded to each of their customers stating that after the 2nd October in that year, grain, flour, seeds etc. would be charged at a halfpenny a sack if allowed to remain after twenty eight days. It was admitted by the defendant that he had received one of the notices and an advice not informing him of the arrival of the goods … … Mr. Pinsent said his contention was, firstly that the company were entitled to make this claim as warehousemen, irrespective of statutory authority, and secondly that if they were not so entitled as warehousemen, they were entitled as carriers under the second part of the 63rd section 9 and 10 Vic., cap. 204, which gave them power to charge for “any other services incidental to the business and duty of carriers”. …

Western Times: Friday 1st March 1878

Highweek Parochial Schools: On Monday the adjourned meeting of the ratepayers was held in the school room to receive the architect’s report as to the best method of increasing the school accommodation to meet the requirements of the increasing population: present: The Rector, the Rev. S. G. Harris in the chair; Messrs. T. Ness, J. Segar, J. Pinsent, Senr., T. Shilstone, W. Shilstone, J. Rowell, J. Salter, R. Francis, Hele, Baker, G. Davis, J.T. Soltau, Capt. Atkins, Capt. Rundle, and the Rev. R. Hall. The Architect (Mr. Rowell) said he had considered the suggestion of extending the infants school and found it would interfere with the light and ventilation of the other schools and also the necessary offices. If carried out it would give increased accommodation to about thirty infants and would about £200. A better plan he thought would be to take the present infants’ school for a classroom, the boy’s room for the girls and the girls’ room for the infants and procure a room for the boys elsewhere. … (possible scheme to purchase the adjoining cottage and garden from Mr. Vicary – other options to build on top of the girls’ school or buy the Salem Chapel outside of the parish … question of costs ) … Mr. Soltau then moved that a committee consisting of the chairman, Mr. Segar and Mr. Pinsent be appointed to wait on Mr. Vicary to know if he would sell the adjoining property, and on what terms, also to ascertain if there were any other sites in the locality available for the purpose of a Boys’ school and to report at a future meeting. This was seconded by Mr. Segar and carried.

Chelmsford County Court: January 15th, (before J. T. Abdy, Esq., Judge): An Interesting Case: F. C. Halls v. W. Marson and J. Bruce: This is a case possessing features of unusual interest. It was an action of replevin, the plaintiff alleging that his household goods have been wrongfully distressed upon and seized by the defendants. The damages were laid at £5. … Mr. Scarlett then stated that the house now occupied by the plaintiff was a freehold house, formerly owned and occupied by a Miss Mills She died about ten years ago, a spinster and intestate. The heir-at-law was her nephew, Arthur Pincent Mills, of Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland … … Various certificates were put in with a view to show that Arthur Pincent Mills was the rightful heir. The certificate of the marriage of his father and mother was missing, but there was an attestation to the effect that the register had been burnt in a fire. A long discussion followed, Mr. Scarlett contending that he had proved his case, but his Honour ruling that he had not done so, but, on the contrary, wished him to assume everything. It was not satisfactorily proved that Pinsent Mills was the heir-at-law or that the rent when obtained, would be forwarded to him …  … His Honour observed, further, that there was no proof that Pincent Mills was alive at the time of the distress …

New Ross Standard: Saturday 3rd June 1899

Ireland’s Church in Rome: There is No St. Patrick’s Now: it will be a startling discovery to many Irishmen perhaps to most of them, to know that there is no longer any such thing in Rome as their national Church of St. Patrick. Apparently, there is scarcely any knowledge of the fact that it has vanished into space, and that the grand plan proposed, seconded, and partly carried to completion, is a thing of the past altogether. Without any intentional secrecy, but none the less in a way which is not known, the Church of St. Patrick has ceased to exist … (description of plans and attempts to build) … By this time, it was pretty clear that St. Patrick’s was never going to be built. The work actually done up to then was a “white elephant” on the hands of the Augustinians, so they were busily looking about for a purchaser. There could never be a St. Patrick Church when those in charge of the work were looking anxiously around for purchasers. Some looked to the Australian bishops, who might want to buy the house for a Roman college; others looked to the Roman communities. Two of these became bidders — the Little Company of Mary, which has a hired a nursing house on the Via Castelfidado. and the Benedictine Nuns, ruled by Lady Abbess Pynsent. These bought it for a handsome sum, and at once set about getting it ready for occupation. The Augustinians left it almost at once, and the nuns are now installed in the house, while they are begging to build on the foundations of the church. The spot is no longer St Patrick’s; it is St Benedict’s. The lady abbess is an Englishwoman, who formerly ruled a Benedictine convent in the diocese of Plymouth. Leaving that place she lived in Rome for a few years in a lay dress while preparing to open a new house in Rome. The house is now open, and she has a large community of English-speaking and Italian nuns and lay sisters. A peculiarity of the house is its wealth. Not a few heiresses have entered it, and one of the most recent acquisitions was a rich American lady: so, there is no St Patrick’s now.
