Serious Gun Accident in Bovey Tracey: A son of Mr. Pinsent of Whitstone Farm, Bovey Tracey, met with a serious accident recently. On going to look after the sheep he carried his gun with him. While tending the sheep he placed his gun through a hurdle. After finishing he grasped the barrel with the right hand, and while pulling the gun back through the hurdle a jerk must have caused it to discharge. The contents lodged in the fleshy part of his forearm, shattering the muscle. The unfortunate young man is doing well, but it is feared that he will never have the full use of the two smallest fingers of that hand.

Re-opening of Doddiscombsleigh Church: The church of Doddiscombsleigh was re-opened on Thursday last after considerable works of repair and restoration: The church consists of nave, chancel and northwest part of the aisle show traces of earlier work. The arcade between the nave and aisle is a very graceful one. The five windows of the aisle retain their ancient stained glass. Those windows have had their glass carefully restored … [description of work done and of the first service] ... A public luncheon was afterwards held in a building near the rectory, the repast being provided by Mr. Sanford, of Teign House Inn. Sir L. Palk, Bart. M.P. presided. ... [attendees included] … Mr. Pinsent and Mr. Coleridge (churchwardens), Mrs. Pinsent, Mr. Grant, … etc. [description of Sir L. Palk’s speech] … In conclusion, the Chairman proposed the health of the churchwardens (Messrs. Pinsent and Coleridge), whom he desired to congratulate on the completion of the work which they had assembled on that occasion to commemorate. They had, he was sure, been the means of rendering very valuable assistance to the rector, and they deserved the very highest praise for what they had done – (hear, hear). He hoped they would soon see their way clear to providing a new pulpit more worthy of their excellent rector – (hear, hear). Mr. Pinsent replied for the churchwardens. [Rector J. Buckingham].
