Pinsent v Howe: The plaintiff, a brewer at Newton Bushel, sued the defendant, an innkeeper at Torquay, for the recovery of £17 10s, for goods supplied. Mr. Francis appeared for the plaintiff. The defendant did not appear, but the plaintiff proved his case by tendering the evidence of Mr. Holmes, his clerk, who stated that he saw the defendant on Sunday, and that he admitted the debt. The defendant made a similar admission to Mr. Stuart, one of the bailiffs of the court, who served him with the summons. His Honour, after due consideration, delivered judgment; remarking that the law had pointed out the proper persons to whom admissions were to be made: They were, the clerk of the court, his clerk, or assistants. The law had made that provision, because it assumed that persons in their position would take care that no mistake should occur. The admission to Mr. Holmes seemed to be a voluntary statement from the man, but it was open to all sorts of mistakes, and was not such an admission as the law had contemplated and provided for. He would, however, in this case give judgment for the amount claimed.

Newton Abbot County Court: … W. M. Praed, Esq., Judge: … Pinsent v. How: Plaintiff, a brewer, Newton, sued defendant, an innkeeper, of Torquay, for £17 10s., for goods supplied. Defendant did not appear. Mr. Holmes, plaintiff’s clerk, said he met the defendant on the previous morning, when he said, “Pinsent has been very foolish to put me into Court; I should have paid him his money as promised had he not done so, but now I can’t”. Mr. J. Stuart, bailiff of the Court, gave similar evidence of admission. His Honour said on the face of the evidence he must give a verdict for plaintiff, but the law had pointed out, the person to whom admissions should be made — the Clerk the Court, who would put it in writing and produce it the judge; otherwise it was not such an admission as the law recognized, and he did all in his power to discourage any other. It being understood that the defendant was about to leave the country, immediate judgment was given, without costs.

Woolcombe drew attention to the case of a pauper named Elizabeth Hall, who had become chargeable to the parish of Kingsteington. Her father had been removed to Northtawton about two or three years ago, and he now asked that the Clerk might be instructed to write to the Clerk of the Okehampton Union, to enquire if they would take the pauper without an order of removal, which was agreed to. The Finance and Tender Committee Reports were brought up by the Clerk. Mr. Pinsent’s contract to supply the Union Workhouse with 100 tons of coal at 22s 6d per ton, was accepted …

County Court: Saturday April 29th, (before W.M. Praed, Esq., Judge:)…. Pinsent v. Wollacott: Plaintiff, a brewer and spirit merchant, of Newton Bushel, sued Joseph Wollacott, late of the King’s Arms, Kingsteignton, for £3 3s, for hogshead of beer supplied, and for bottles and jars, in which spirits had been sent and not returned. Wm. Holmes, a clerk in plaintiff’s employ, said the bottles and jars had been sent with the spirits, but had not been returned; they did not sell bottles, but kept them for the accommodation of customers; they were charged in the invoice for them, and were deducted when returned. His Honor said in that case they could not sue for the debt in that form; if they did not sell the bottles, they could not recover for them. The proper course would have been to have sued for the bottles which were lent.  Judgment for £3 3s, with 14s 10d costs: Mr. Templer, on the part of defendant, asked for time. An execution had turned out the defendant from his house, and he had not the means of paying it. He was ill at home now. Mr. Pinsent asked for an immediate order as the defendant was able to pay it. He called The High Bailiff, who stated that on seeing the summons defendant took out his purse and said “I owe for the beer, and I’ve plenty of money. There appeared to be about £9 in the purse. The Court issued an immediate order.
