The Devon County Agricultural Show: The arrangements in connection with the Devon County Agricultural Society for holding the annual exhibition on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are very complete in fact, everything so far as the contractor (Mr. J. H. Foaden) is concerned was in “applepie” order even long before the time announced for the opening … …The show of sheep was of a most satisfactory description, but as in the cattle classes most of the prizes were awarded to exhibitors from a distance. Mr. Wm. Rendell, Newton, was recommended for his South Devons and Mr. H. Pinsent, Bovey Tracey, for his Devon long wool …

County Agricultural Association: The Newton Meeting: The sixteenth annual exhibition of the above Association opened Wednesday at Newton … The Devon Long Wool Sheep, which generally attract so much notice at the other shows, lose a great deal of their interest at Devon County Exhibition by the absence of any of Sir John Heathcote Amory’s well-known flock. There are, however, two exhibitors who were not represented at the Somerset Show: Mr. Pedler and Mr. Radmore. The other exhibitors of this breed are Mr. Chas. Norris, Mr. Skinner, Mr. Ham, and Mr. Pinsent. The entries therefore, were pretty numerous, and some excellent specimens of the breed were brought under the attention of the judges … … Class 1: Game, Black or brown-red: Cock and hen, £1, 10s, 5; 1, Charles Wm. Brierley, Tenbury Worcester; 2, T. Stanbury, Collaton, near Torquay; 3, J. C. Huxtable, Southmolton, E. and H. Michelmore, Totnes, h.c., John Frayn, St. Stephens, Launceston, William S.

Among those present were also … (includes) … H. Pinsent … (discussion of event) … The Chairman, in giving the “Army, Navy and Auxiliary Forces,” though the most effective way to ensure peace was to have the whole of the services in a thorough state of efficiency – (hear, hear). Not only had much been done of late to ensure peace with the whole world but he thought England was better respected by all nations than she had ever been before – (cheers). Mr. H. Pinsent responded in a humorous speech. He had never been connected, he said, with the Army, but had been a member of the Yeomanry Cavalry for eight years, and he always felt when called up for duty ready to fight – (cheers, and laughter). At the same time, he believed it was the ambition of the branch he had the honour of belonging to, to do their best to maintain peace and good will with all nations – (hear, hear, and cheers) … (speeches continue) …

(see also) … … Tithe Rent Charge Agitation: Sir: – I find in yesterday’s Western Morning News that someone who signs himself “A R W, Mary Church” says that at the present time all tithe owners (that is clergymen) are giving back 9 ½ percent to tithe payers (that is farmers). I consider those remarks unjust, unfair and untruthful, for when the Tithe Commutation Act was passed it was based on a percentage of corn; if it rose clergymen received more, if vice versa, less.  I might as well say when the tithe stood at 112 per cent, eight years ago that I gave my clergyman 12 percent. The thing is utterly preposterous and beside the mark, and I trust the person who signs himself “A.R.W.” will see his way clear to withdraw the charge of “gift” against the farmers. For my own part I have never asked, nor do I ever intend to sign a requisition to, my clergyman for reduction of tithe, as I consider it would be unreasonable, having my farm subject to such charges. If the farm is too dear, the proper person for me to make a complaint to is my landlord: Yours truly HENRY PINSENT, Whitstone Farm Tracey.
