Kingsteignton: Serious Fire: About eight o’ clock yesterday morning some ricks of corn, the property of Mr. Pinsent, of Ware Farm, were discovered to be on fire. Every effort was at once made to subdue the flames, but a strong breeze blowing at the time all attempts were futile. In a very short time no less than thirteen ricks of wheat and two of oats were enveloped in flames. The fire continued smouldering throughout the whole day, and but very little of the corn was saved. The damage is estimated at £400 though, fortunately the stock was insured. Suspicion is attached to two lads who were seen running from the spot about the time the fire was discovered, and a box of Lucifer matches was picked up near the ricks.

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: Wednesday: The Rev. R. R. Wolfe presided. The attendance of Guardians was large. It was intimated that in consequence of the new Act of Parliament the Sewage Utilization Act, the duties of looking into nuisances, or, in other words, the duties that at present devolve on inspector of nuisances, will in future devolve on the vestries of the different parishes, consequently the services of the sanitary inspector will only be required for a short time longer. He was, however, instructed to proceed with his duties for the present. Mr. Pinsent, Guardian of Kingsteignton, produced a letter signed by the overseers of that village, requesting that the salary of Mr. Gillard, the assistant overseer be not paid, in consequence his not having discharged his duties in not collecting the rates. The Guardians agreed with the purport of the letter and promised to do as requested: The number of inmates to be 248.
