District News: Cullompton: The Cullompton petty session was held on Monday before C.R. Collins, J. C. New and G. M. Marker, Esquires, and the Rev. J. P. Sydenham … Sarah Gibbons, wife of William Gibbons, Sampford Arundel, labourer and Ann Sercombe, their daughter, were charged with stealing from the Burlescombe Railway Station a woollen shawl, value 5s. Sercombe did not appear. Elizabeth Snow, wife of Francis Snow, of Westleigh, Burlescombe, farmer, said the shawl now produced was in my possession on the 2^nd instant; I left it at the waiting room of Burlescombe station on that day. William Pinsent, porter at the station, saw the defendant take the shawl now produced from the waiting room, but did not say anything, thinking it belonged to her daughter who had come from Plymouth that morning. Francis Snow, Burlescombe farmer, went to the house of the prisoner and asked if she had a daughter come from Plymouth and was answered in the affirmative: Asked if she had taken a shawl from Burlescombe Station when the daughter (arrived?) answered “no” and brought a black one in the presence of the defendant, and was told that was not the one. Defendant then gave up that now produced, which the prosecutor identified. Did not then know it was cut in halves. Policeman Froude deposed going to the prisoners’ house with the former witness and afterwards to Wellington (where the daughter was found) and obtained the other half of the shawl which had been cut in two, each prisoner taking a part. The daughter said after leaving the Burlescombe station she told her mother the shawl was not hers, when the officer said she had taken one half and should therefore also report the case against her. Defendant Gibbons said she had not seen her daughter for seven years and did not know but what it was her shawl. The bench informed her she was soon aware it was not, and as she had elected for her case to be decided by them they should sentence her to be imprisoned for one month’ hard labour.

Newton Abbot: New Organ: The East-street, Baptists, have recently erected a new organ in their spacious chapel, and on Sunday and Monday last there were special services to raise wind, not only in the instrument, but for it. On the day the Rev. W. C. Jones preached two sermons, and on the latter a tea and public meeting took place, which not only received a fair amount of patronage, but excellent speeches from various ministers and friends. The organ is rich in tone and performed its part on both occasions to the entire satisfaction of all. Sale of Freehold Property: On Tuesday Messrs. Rendell and Symons held an Auction at Salter’s Seven Stars Inn, for the sale of that very desirable freehold property called Lower Herebeer — as announced last week in our advertising columns — situate in the parish of Bickington, and comprising a good farm house and buildings and about 90 acres of land, 40 of which were arable, 4 ½ orchard, 3 coppice, and the remainder arable (sic), the whole in the occupation of Mr. Murch at rental of £200 a year. Mr. John Wills is the owner and wished to dispose of it in consequence of having taken a large estate above Exeter. General White was the first bidder at £4,000, which was followed by a succession of bidding until it reached £5,000, Mr. Pinsent being the bidder at that sum. Mr. Rendell’s persuasive eloquence had no effect in further augmenting that amount, and the reserve price £5,550 was named, but there being no advance it remained unsold. Lot 2 a dwelling house, shop, bake house, and garden, at South Knighton, let to Mr. John Tarr at £10 per annum, and after spirited competition was bought by him at £142 10s. Messrs. Francis and Baker were the solicitors.
