For many years Mr. Vicary has conducted a most extensive business in this town in leather and wool and although he had availed himself of all the modern machinery adapted to the manufacture of these articles by steam power, yet at the time of his death he, or rather the firm of Vicary and Sons, employed considerably over two hundred hands … (funeral) … There were also present, Messrs.

Hutchings v. Pinsent: Plaintiff is a shipowner and coal merchant, Teignmouth; defendant, a brewer and coal merchant, Newton: Action to recover £18 for demurrage. Mr. Watts for plaintiff: Mr. Creed for defendant: Plaintiff brought a cargo of coals of about 250 tons in a vessel from Newcastle to Teignmouth Harbour. The vessel arrived in the harbour on the 26th Dec., and the following day the captain (Capt Finch) went to Newton and saw Mr. Holmes (defendant’s manager), and acquainted him of the arrival. It was arranged that the cargo should be conveyed to Newton in barges, and the vessel ought to have been cleared out, according to the plaintiff’s statement by 6th of January. The coals, however, were not completely taken away until the 15th. Hence the charge for demurrage: — The defence was that inclement weather was the cause of the delay, and there was a saving clause in the charter to the effect that the defendant was not liable. After hearing a number of witnesses, his Honour adjourned the case to the next Court.

Exeter County Court of Bankruptcy: Re: William C. White, farmer, and coal dealer of Chudleigh: Meeting for examination of witnesses. Mr. Toy appeared for the creditors and Mr. Floud for the Bankrupt. The bankrupt was apprehended at Plymouth, just as he was about to embark for America with his wife and family. He was now brought up in custody.

[His father described how his son had rented Palace Farm in Chudleigh from Lord Clifford and then sold his livestock and moved into Chudleigh to conduct a coal business. His father had paid some of his debts, but he had others and few assets. He had told his father he planned to emigrate two days before he left for Plymouth].

He had received goods from Messrs. Watts and Bearne, Mr. Bowden, Mr. Tucker, Mr. Whiteway and Mr. Pinsent. He was indebted to them between £400 and £500 for goods supplied since Christmas last. He considered there was about £110 worth left. He had paid away the rest. He had some cider – not a large quantity – which he sold before he left. He had not proposed to pay his creditors £200. His father had offered 10s in the £ on condition that all his (bankrupt’s) effects were given up to him. No portion of the money would have come from him (bankrupt). The case was adjourned.

Re: William C. White, farmer, and coal dealer of Chudleigh. Meeting for examination of witnesses: Mr. Toy appeared for the creditors and Mr. Floud for the bankrupt: It will be remembered that the bankrupt was apprehended by the officer of the Court at Plymouth just as he was about to embark for America with his wife and family. He was now brought up in the custody of Pennington, the gaol warder. Samuel White, the bankrupt’s father, was first examined by Mr. Toy: He said he became answerable for the rent of Palace Farm, Chudleigh, which was rented at £70 a year from Lord Clifford and farmed by his son. The bankrupt was indebted to him £35, a half-year rent at Ladyday last. His son commenced to occupy it ten or twelve years ago. His son lived on the farm until he went to live at Chudleigh, about two years ago, to carry on the coal business. He continued the occupation of the farm, however, down to Lady-day last … (description of case) … He had seen Mr. Johnson since he had been in gaol. He did not tell him then that he had given his father £100 for him. All he told him was that he had given him security. Mr. Johnson asked him to make him right, adding that he knew he (bankrupt) had money. He denied that he had. He had received goods from Messrs. Watts and Bearne, Mr. Bowden, Mr. Tucker, Mr. Whiteway and Mr. Pinsent. He was indebted to them between £400 and £500 for goods supplied since Christmas last. He considered there was about £119 worth left. He had paid away the rest … (continues) …
