Newton Abbot: Accident: On Saturday evening last, about half-past eight o’clock, while John Michelmore, coachman to H. L. Brown, Esq., of Barton Hall, was returning home from Kingskerswell, he narrowly escaped being run over by waggon. At the Kingskerswell crossing he met two waggons belonging to Mr. Pinsent, brewer, of Newton. The first wagon passed him all right, not so the second, for he was caught by it between the wheels and the wall and was severely jammed. He then fell with his head between the wheels, but fortunately at that moment the wagon stopped, otherwise he must have been killed. He was severely cut about the head, and his left hand bruised. He was assisted to Barton Hall, and attended by Mr. Finch, surgeon.

Newton Abbot: At Newton the Teign rose to a tremendous height, the whole valley of the river being flooded. The waters washed over the embankment of the Moretonhampstead Railway, portions of which were completely swept away. A long raft of timber belonging to Mr. Cull, which was moored on the river, broke from its fastenings, and was carried away. Portions of it were deposited along the bank, but a good deal of it was carried out to sea. The raft was worth £350. A large quantity of timber was also carried away from the Moretonhampstead railway. Mr. Pinsent, coal and spirit merchant, had a large quantity of coal washed away, and Mr. Madge, of the Decoy Farm, lost £80 worth of culm.

The declaration stated that a certain sum of money was due to the plaintiff from one Mountford, which he was required to pay, or secure; that Mountford’s wife was entitled to a certain estate, and proposed to mortgage it; that the plaintiff retained the defendant as his attorney, that the defendants accepted the retainer, but did not use proper care and diligence and induced the plaintiff to accept as security, what turned out to be of no value whatsoever; and that the defendant by the exercise of proper and reasonable care, might have ascertained that. The defendants pleaded that he did not accept the retainer, that he did use proper care and diligence, that he did not represent to the plaintiff that the security was good or induce him to accept it, and that the security was sufficient and valid. … Mrs. Mountford said something about getting money from a loan society as she had a better valuation. In consequence of a letter from Mr. Sobey on the 28th, the witness called and learned that Mr. Pinsent, a creditor for £50, wanted a second mortgage.

County Court: Pinsent v. White: The plaintiff, a brewer of Newton Bushell, claimed the defendant, miller, £4, 11s 6d. balance of account. The defendant paid 6s. 9d. into court, alleging that that was the full amount due: Mr. Templer, who appeared for the defendant, said that his client, in October, 1860, sold the plaintiff quantity of hay at £6 ton, but the plaintiff had only allowed him in his account after the rate of £5 10s. a ton for it, being on the whole £3 9s. 9d. less than it should be. Mr. Pinsent had also charged interest on the debt due, which he was not entitled to do. Mr. Pinsent insisted that he agreed to give only £5 10s. a ton for the hay. He also stated that he bought hay of equally good quality for similar price at the time of Mr. Jabez Mugford. Mr. Harris and Mr. John Lear, farmers, said that they sold hay of similar quality to the defendant’s, in November 1860, for £6 a ton: Judgment for the defendant, with costs.
