County Court: Monday: Pinsent v White: Mr. Templer for defendant. Plaintiff is a brewer Newton Bushel, and defendant a miller of Chudleigh. The sum sought to be recovered was £4 11s 6d on a disputed account. 6s 9d was paid into Court. Plaintiff stated that in Oct. 1860, he purchased a rick of hay from the defendant at a rate of £5 10s a ton, an entry of which was made in a book at the time; the book was produced. Defendant stated that Mr. Pinsent called to him as he was passing his house, and asked him what was going to sell the rick of hay for? £6 a ton was the answer. Plaintiff offered £5 10s which was refused; he afterwards offered £5 15s.  Defendant told him it was worth a £6 ton and would not sell it for less. He was going away when the complainant called him back and agreed to give him £6 for it. Defendant bought a quantity of barley from the complainant, and when the account was rendered, the hay was credited at £5 10s per ton only. To this the defendant demurred and gave a cheque for the balance of account less the difference between £5 and £6 a ton for the hay. The 6s 9d paid into Court was the odd money over which the amount of the cheque was drawn, which was also tendered, but complainant’s clerk, Mr. Holmes, refused to take it, saying he owed them more; defendant, therefore, put it in his pocket again. A dealer named Harris, proved having hay of the defendant at the same time, at £6 a ton, and cut, bound, and carted it away himself. John Lear, hay merchant, in Nov. 1860, offered the defendant £6 per ton for the rick of hay, but was told it was already sold for that sum to Mr. Pinsent. His Honour had no doubt whatever, that £6 per ton was the price agreed for the hay. Judgment would be for the defendant with costs.

Western Daily Mercury: Tuesday 29th November 1864 

Newton County Court: Monday: Before J. Tyrrell, Esq., Judge: … … Pinsent v. Samuel White: The plaintiff is a brewer of Newton Bushell, and he claimed the sum of £4 11s 6d from the defendant, who is a miller residing at Chudleigh. Mr. Templar appeared for the defendant and disputed the amount. His client had paid 6s 9d into court and submitted that that was all that was due from him. There was only one item in dispute, and that was with respect to some hay. His Honour would find in the accounts a credit for … cash, and a hay account of £87 12s. About the month of October 1860, the plaintiff bought some hay of the defendant agreeing to pay him the sum of £6 per ton. He afterwards only paid him £5 10s per ton. The hay at £5 10s a ton would realise £37 12s while at £6, which Mr. Pinsent first agreed to pay, would bring £41 1s 9d, thus making a difference in the price of £3 9s 9d. The plaintiff has also charged in the account the sum of 15s as interest, which he submitted to his Honour there was no foundation for whatever, making the plaintiff’s claim, with the 6s 9d paid into court. £4 11s 6d. He (Mr. Templar) however submitted that £3 3s 9d was due to the defendant on the hay account at the rate of £6 and that, with the deduction of the interest would leave a balance in favour of the plaintiff of 6s 9d, which had been paid into court. The plaintiff denied having agreed to pay the defendant more than £5 10s for the hay and stated that he bought hay from other parties about the same time as he purchased from the defendant for £5 5s, and that of very good quality. Mr. Templar called the defendant, who swore that he had a conversation with the plaintiff in the month of October 1860, respecting the purchase of a quantity of hay, and that after a few words respecting the price, the plaintiff agreed to take some from him at £6 per ton. But when the account was settled, he only paid him at the rate of £5 10s and denied the original agreement. He called a witness named Harris, who said he had bought half a ton of hay of the defendant, about the time referred to, at the price of £6 per ton and he considered that a fair price as it was then expected to become more expensive. His Honour gave judgement for the defendant with costs.

Railway Intelligence: Teign Valley Railway Bill: House of Commons, Wednesday: After the Despatch of our parcel yesterday: Mr. John Bowden, corn merchant, of Newton & Totnes, was examined by Mr. West on behalf of the South Devon opposition and said the real market of this district was Totnes, and the Buckfastleigh line would provide, in his opinion, all the accommodation that was necessary. The traffic of the district was really not such as to justify the construction of another line. The district was an exporting and not an importing one, and the natural vent for its produce was Newton … (continued discussion) … Mr. Michelmore, a landowner near Dart Bridge and proprietor of a very valuable estate consisting of orchards and pasture lands opposed the bill, and so also did Mr. French, Mr. Pinsent, and Mr. Wolston. These gentlemen all complained of the injury which would be done to their estates by the proposed line; and there was no such case of public necessity as required the sacrifice of their interests. In his opinion, there would not be traffic enough, upon the whole of the line, to pay the expenses of the first five miles out of Exeter. … … (continues) … … Mr. John Pinsent, of Newton, a maltster and coal merchant, of Newton, expressed his opinion that the proposed line was not needed, and that there was not enough traffic to support two lines of railway between Newton and Exeter and between Totnes and Exeter. The general feeling of the district, he believed, was that there was sufficient railway accommodation at present: Cross-examined by Mr. Clark: Did not attend the meetings in Chudleigh, Ashburton, or Buckfastleigh, at which petitions were adopted in favour of the line.  … … (continues) …
