Newton Abbot: Petty Sessions: Tuesday, before W.J. Watts, ESq., C.J. Wade, Esq., G.B. Ellicombe, Esq., Dr., Atkinson and Admiral Wise: Mr. Charles Knowle, butcher and cattle dealer, of Kingsteignton, was summoned by Mr. John Whidborne, a gentleman residing there, for having a nuisance on his premises, arising from the slaughter of bullocks and other animals on the 10^th and 11^th, and 12^th of June: Mr. Templer, Teignmouth appeared for the complainant and Mr. Fryer, Exeter for the defendant. Mr. Templer, in opening the case, asserted that the nuisances arising from the premises were continuous. He could not ask the bench to grant an order to stop the business, but he should ask for a prohibitory order, so as to compel the defendant to carry on his business so that it does not injure the health of residents in the neighbourhood …  (discussion) … On Wednesday afternoon, the smell was quite as bad as on Monday. Defendant’s men were drawing away dung on the Wednesday. Mr. J. B. Pinsent passed on the 10th and 12^th, when the smell was very bad. P.C. Gillard lived about seventy yards from the slaughterhouse, which is about ten or twelve feet wide by twelve or fourteen feet long. One door opens to the highway, the other into a yard at the back. There were no windows, but on one side was an open railing … Mr. Fryer, for the defence, submitted that Mr. Templer had not proved his case in not having called Mr. Whidborne to show he was an inhabitant of Kingsteignton … (other witness statements) … The bench considered there was sufficient evidence before them to show there was a nuisance on the defendants’ premises, but they would adjourn the case until the 30^th July, to see if the premises were kept clear from nuisances, and clean in the meantime …

Petty Sessions: Monday, April 29^th: Before the Mayor, M. Fox, and H. Gaskell, Esqs.:  Disputed Rate: Mrs. Endecott came before the Bench at the request of the collector, to settle the payment of a district rate made in August. Mrs. Endecott said she did not owe the rate, she only took the house in September, at Michaelmas; she was living there before, but as a servant of Mr. Pinsent, the brewer. The Bench, after a short deliberation, ordered Mrs Endecott to pay for the time she occupied, which would amount to 2s 3d of the rate — and the former occupier to pay the remainder.

Newton Abbot: Petty Sessions: Application for a New License. Mr. Creed, on behalf of Mr. Nicholas Martyn, Shaldon, applied for a new license, and supported the ground of his application on the excellent accommodation he has for horses and carriages, superior to anything of the kind in the town. During the past 12 months he had 176 horses and carriages stop at his house, and many of the parties’ wanted refreshments, which he was unable to supply. Several witnesses were called in support of the application, a similar one to which was made the last licensing and refused. The Bench now ruled that under the construction of the new Act they had not the power to grant the license unless stronger reasons could be shown than on the last occasion, which the applicant was unable to produce. Application refused: Mr. John Ball Pinsent having given notice to apply for a license for his “Mirror” establishment in Queen Street accepted the decision in the last case applicable to him and withdrew his application.
