Newton Abbot: Petty Sessions: … Applications under the Licencing Act. Mr. Watts applied on behalf of Mr. John Ball Pinsent for a license to sell intoxicating liquors, by retail, on and off the premises in Queen Street. Mr. Creed opposed the application on behalf of the Good Templars of Newton Abbot. The application has been made five years in succession but has been as many times refused. To-day Mr. Watts contended that the inhabitants of Newton had increased since the license was last applied for, thereby, occasioning a greater demand for accommodation. Mr. Watts produced a memorial numerously signed by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood showing that the licence applied for was a necessary and proper one. Mr. Pinsent was called and stated that his premises were rented by him at over £20 per annum. In answer to Mr. Creed applicant stated that he resided at Newton Bushel and carried on the business of a grocer wine merchant. He had a licence, but it only enabled him to sell wine by the bottle, and he was unable to sell less than that quantity. He (applicant) was the owner of a brewery and held licences for several public houses in the town. Mr. Watts called Mr. J. A. Chudleigh, a builder, whose premises adjoin the applicant’s house. He considered the licence was a necessary one and would be a great benefit to the neighbourhood. Mr. Pinsent had told him it was not his intention to make a general drinking house, but merely to sell small quantities of wine to persons who did not care to go to public houses for it. By Mr. Creed: Did not know there were twenty-four full licensed houses in the town besides beer houses; had never counted them. John Sanders, corn merchant, also thought the license a proper one. Mr. Creed: Don’t you sell Mr. Pinsent hay and straw. Witness: No; I have formerly, but not for some time past. The Bench, without troubling Mr. Creed for any remarks, considered that the license was an unnecessary one, and accordingly refused the application.

The South Devon Hunt: In consequence of Mr. F. R. Hemming, of Market Drayton, Shropshire, having failed to pay Mr. A. F. Ross, formerly master of this hunt, for his pack of hounds, in accordance with an agreement, and having left the county without fulfilling his engagement, the South Devon Country is now left without a master. A meeting of the members of the Hunt was therefore held at the Globe Hotel, Newton Abbot, on Wednesday evening, Mr. P. Symons presiding. The Hon. Sec. (Mr. R. M. Codner) tendered his resignation. It was accepted. Mr. J. Rendell proposed, and Mr. J. B. Pinsent seconded, that the accounts of the Hunt should be balanced and wound up. This was agreed to. It was decided that those who had hunted with Mr. Ross should be asked to subscribe towards making up the loss he had sustained through having sold his hounds at auction for £40, the price Mr. Hemming agreeing to pay him for them being £180. A vote of thanks was then passed to Mr. R. M. Codner for the service he had rendered the hunt during the time he was hon. secretary, after which the meeting terminated.  ….

Newton Abbot: Petty Sessions: Tuesday: Before Admiral Cornish-Bowden (chairman), General Reynell Taylor, and H. E. Brown, D. R. Scratton, and G. B. Ellicombe, Esqrs. The jury lists of most of the parishes in the Division were revised, and the necessary alteration made in instances of over-age and non-residence. Bishopsteignton, Stokeinteignhead, and Haccombe were unrepresented. Messrs. Pinsent and Co., brewers, of Newton Abbot, applied through Mr. W. Creek, solicitor, for the transfer of the license of the Victory Inn, West Teignmouth, which house has been taken down by the Great Western Railway Company in their removal of the tunnel, to the new premises erected near the site of the old inn. It was explained that the tenant for 15 years of the old Victory Inn was Mr. Lewis Galsworthy, who was also to be the tenant of the new premises. No complaint had ever been made against the house, or as to the manner in which the business had been conducted: The application was opposed by Mr. S. Hacker, instructed by Mr. S. Churchill, on behalf of the Church of England Temperance Society. In support of the opposition, a memorial was produced, signed by the Vicars of East and West Teignmouth and about 150 of the inhabitants, on the grounds that the premises were not convenient for the purpose to which it was sought to be put and that there were four other licenses houses in the immediate locality. The Bench refused the application: On the application of Mr. J. B. Tompkins, secretary of the Newton Coffee Tavern Company, a bagatelle license for the coffee tavern was granted.

Application for a Transfer of License: Mr. Creed, on behalf of Messrs. Pinsent and Co., owners of the Victory Inn, West Teignmouth, which has recently been demolished the Great western Railway Company opening up the tunnel, applied to have the license transferred to a corner house near the site of the old one. Mr. Lewis Galsworthy had occupied the old Victory Inn for about 15 years, and he was to become the tenant of the new house. No complaint had ever been made against the home or the manner in which the business had been conducted. It was not a new license that he asked for, only the transfer from one house that had been demolished under powers which the owner had no control to that of an adjoining house, and he was surprised to find that it was going to be opposed. He called Mr. Chudleigh, who produced the plan of the new premises, and pointed out the superior accommodation over that of the old inn. Mr. Hacker (instructed by Mr. Samuel Churchill, of Teignmouth) opposed the application on behalf the Church England Temperance Society and produced a memorial signed by the Vicars of the two parishes and all the other ministers, and about 150 ratepayers and owners’ property against the granting of the license on the grounds its being detrimental to the adjacent property, and to the peace and morals of the inhabitants. He pointed out that there are already 30 licensed houses in Teignmouth to about 7,000 inhabitants, and that consequently no other inn was needed. The Bench, after long consideration, decided to refuse the license.
