Kingsteington: Lord Clifford, of Ugbrook Park, who is Lord of the Manor of Kingsteignton and owns upwards of 2,000 of its broad acres besides most of its houses, etc., decided to celebrate the coming-of-age of his eldest son and heir in most liberal manner by providing a dinner for all his tenantry and a tea for their wives and children on Thursday. At first it was his lordship’s wish, conveyed by letter from his steward, Mr. Knight, for all his land tenantry to attend banquet at Chudleigh on the same day, and his cottage tenantry to have dinner and their wives’ tea at home. The matter was discussed among the parties Concerned, and they decided, if his lordship had no objection, to have a jollification all together in their own village. This, on being communicated to his lordship, received his approval, and gave instructions accordingly. The following committee was then appointed to make arrangements: J. H. Whiteway, Esq. (his lordship’s local steward), Messrs. C. Knowles, W. Smalldridge, G. Pinsent, J. Luscombe, J. Trueman, T. Pilgrim, P. Burridge, T. Babbage, T. Lear, W. Gillard, H. Partridge, and T. Rutland. Never within the memory that quaint individual, the oldest inhabitant (Mary Radmore, aged 110), did the respectable village look as remarkably grand. Fir trees were planted on either side of the streets towards Newton, Chudleigh, and Teignmouth, and a profusion of bunting was everywhere displayed. The bells were merrily rung, and the band of the 10th D.R.V. discoursed music through the streets, everybody donned their gayest, put on their best behaviour, and I enjoyed them-selves after the most approved fashion. At the old Post-office the first triumphal arch on the road from Ugbrook was erected. At its centre was suspended splendid banner bearing the inscription “Long live Lord Clifford: Health and Happiness ever be with him.” … (dinner with speeches) … In proposing “The Ladies” Mr. Knowles couldn’t understand the reason why there were so many old boys around them when they had such a blooming lot of young ladies in the parish; if they were afraid to propose themselves and commissioned him he would propose for them (hear hear): Glee: “Here is a health to all good lasses”: Mr. G. Pinsent, in responding, was not altogether hard upon the ladies – perhaps he was rather cowed at the presence of so many. Although he had not as yet entered the blissful state, he would not exclude them from meetings of that sort because he believed their presence would have a tendency to make the men a little more sociable …

Newton Agricultural and Labourers’ Friend Society: The thirty fourth annual meeting of this society, which comprises all the parishes in the Newton Abbot Union, was held yesterday. The ploughing took place in a field called the “Deer Park, ” near the railway station in the occupation of Mr. Mudge. Very heavy rain fell in the morning, but it being a hilly field, did not interfere much with the ploughing, although doubtless it had the effect of keeping many visitors away…. The dinner took place at the Globe Hotel. Sir L. Palk presided, and Admiral Wise filled the vice-chair. There were also present, Lord Clipper, Revs. Preb. Hawker, H. Tudor, R. R. Wolfe, J. W.

Newton Abbot: Painful Death by Drowning: An inquest was held the Railway Inn, by H. Michelmore, Esq., coroner, on Saturday night, on the body of old man named James Boarder, between 70 and 80 years of age, who was found drowned in the river Lemon. The deceased was a labourer in the employ of Mr. Pinsent, of Weir Farm, Kingsteignton. Between six and seven o’clock on Wednesday night last he left his home at Kingsteignton for the purpose of seeing Mr. Whiteway, solicitor, of Newton, respecting some business matters of Lord Clifford’s. On his way to Newton, he called at a house near the Hockney Canal, and had some conversation with a clay-cutter named Gaye. He was in good spirits, and quite sober when he left. Just afterwards, he was met by Miss Rhoda Short whom he wished “Good night.” He was not seen alive afterwards. Not returning home, his wife, aged 84, became alarmed, and on the following day enquiries were made, but no news could be gleaned respecting him. On Saturday morning Jas. Burrows and another man searched for him in the river Lemon, which he would have had to cross by a bridge on his way to Newton. As this river was not fenced on either side of the bridge it was thought he had walked in and had drowned. This appeared to have been the case, as his body was found in the river near Mr. Webber’s sawmills. The jury returned a verdict of “accidental death.”
