Western Daily Mercury: Saturday 28th March 1863 

Newton Races: Several years ago, the parishes of Newton Abbot and Newton Bushel could boast of a good annual race meeting. Of late, however, from causes which it will be better not to mention, these races have passed into oblivion, the last meeting having been held in 1857. … (discussion of plan to reactivate races) … After a desultory conversation, a committee composed of the following gentlemen, with power to add to their number, was appointed to make the necessary arrangement, viz; Messrs. White, Pinsent, Quick, Harris, Cull, Millward, Magor, Chapell, and W. Cann. This committee will meet this evening and probably in a few days we shall be enabled to announce something more definite.

The official assignee reported debts unsecured £365 1s. 2d; secured, £200 — security, bill of sale on stock-in-trade estimated at £150, but which the bankrupt believed to have been sold for £80. Total debts £562 4s. 2d. Assets, debts, goods, £12 9s. 9d., worth about £9 10s.; bad, £78 1s. 6d. The bill of sale was held by Mr. Pinsent, of Newton Abbot, in consideration of goods sold and delivered to the value of £200, which he put in force in November last. Mr. Wm. Ashford, of Dartmouth, had a debt against the bankrupt of £85 8s. 6d. for coals, taking an acceptance twice for two months. The acceptance was dishonoured, but bankrupt ink wrote him a letter which he could produce. He had been induced to supply the bankrupt with coals in consequence of his representing that he had £800 coming to him from his father. His Honour ultimately adjourned the case, for the production of the letter, until the 8th of April.  [see other issues on other dates]

Exeter District Court of Bankruptcy: A. Lethbridge’s Bankruptcy: Re: Albert Lethbridge, Innkeeper, Totnes: This was a last examination and discharge. Mr. Clarke appeared for the assignee and Mr. Floud for the bankrupt. The official assignee reported: Creditors (unsecured) £362 4s 2d: One creditor held as a security for £200, a bill of sale on bankrupt’s goods, estimated to be worth £150, but which the bankrupt believed had been sold for £80. Total due to creditors, £562 4s 2d: Assets are – debts (good), £12 9s 9d (bad) £78 1s 5d. The stock and furniture had been taken under a bill of sale. Mr. Clarke examined Mr. John Ball Pinsent, brewer, Newton Abbot who said held a bill of sale for £200 from the bankrupt. The consideration was a debt of £200 for goods sold and delivered: Never received anything on account of that £200 till he levied. Bankrupt. Owed him £150 for goods supplied since the bill of sale. Put the bill of sale in force in the beginning of Nov. The proceeds of the sale were £89 5s 7d. Rent £8 2s 6s was paid out of that, and the expenses, reduced the amount to £67 2s net. The bill of sale was produced. Mr. Clarke examined Mr. William Ashford Junr. Who said he was a coal merchant living at Dartmouth. … (continues) … Mr. Pinsent recalled by Mr. Floud, said that certain reports which he had heard against the bankrupt had induced him to levy on the bankrupt. The Bankrupt, examined by Mr. Clarke, said that his father died in January 1861. Under his will he (bankrupt) was entitled to £120. It was paid to him in two sums, £50 and £70. What he had first received he paid to Mr. Ashford. Out of the second sum he paid different creditors … He had sold his horse and cart for £12, put £2 to it, and bought a license of an inn. … (continues) … Mary Lethbridge, wife of the bankrupt, examined by Mr. Floud: She said that about two years and a half ago, her husband was ill of brain fever, and had never been well since. His memory had been very bad ever since. With respect to the acceptance due to Mr. Ashford, she at first thought it was a three months’ bill; her husband thought so too, but they found it was a two months’ bill. She told Mr. Ashford’s brother that it must have been a mistake; she was sure they could not meet it, and Mr. Ashford must make arrangements for it. Mr. Ashford’s brother, she believed, made the affair of the bill known, at least all the creditors came in to be paid. She could not understand why it was so, and paid off all as far as her money would go, until Mr. Pinsent put the bill of sale in force. Her husband, herself and the four children were now living in a furnished room in Totnes, for which they paid 1s 2d a week. … The case was adjourned till April 8th.
