Lawes’ Manure Audit: This annual event took place on Wednesday in the Alexandra Hall, when a capital dinner was served up by Mr. Quick, of the Bradley Hotel. Mr. Jabez Mugford occupied the chair supported by Mr. T. Wills, Mr. H. Baker (the Company’s Agent), Mr. Pinsent, Mr. Soper and a very large company … (speeches) … Mr. Mugford responded in a humorous speech, and afterwards proposed the health of the Messrs. Lawes, who, as they well knew, produced the best manures for mangold it was possible to get. If anyone doubted it they should only go to his field and judge for themselves. He coupled with the toast the names of the agents, Messrs. Baker, and Pinsent, who were well up to their business and did their employers credit and themselves as well. Mr. Baker acknowledged the toast. Other toasts followed, after which the meeting proceeded to business.

Lawes’ Manure Audit: On Wednesday a large party of agriculturists, consumers of Messrs. Lawes’ Manures, dined together at Magor’s Commercial Hotel under the able presidency of T. Wills, Esq. (Eastwrey). A first-rate spread was provided. Among the company present were Messrs. Pinsent (4), Mr. W. Rendell, Mr. Whidborne (2), Soper, Fry, Wreyford (2), Widdicombe, French, Stone, Winser, Wills, Loveys, Northcote, Adams, Smalldridge, Mann, Langworthy, Tuckett, Jarvis, Burridge, (etc) …   (toasts and speeches) … He (Mr. Wills (?)) congratulated the firm on having such efficient businessmen as Messrs. Baker and Pinsent in the district. He might remind them that the firm of Messrs. Lawes existed as a limited liability company, for the business had assumed such an enormous magnitude that no two or three men cared to invest sufficient capital to carry it on. Mr. Pinsent was, as they were aware, a shareholder and Mr. Baker an agent, and singularly enough they were both bachelors (laughter) but whether or not their business proclivities were attributable to that he could not say. He asked all present to drink success to the Messrs. Lawes’: Messrs. Pinsent and Baker returned thanks, not only for the Messrs. Lawes’ but for the handsome manner in which the manures of the firm had been spoken off. The latter observed that he had dealt in manures years before he became agent for Messrs. Lawes’ and he might say, without fear of contradiction, that those of the latter were inferior to none. …
