Devon Licenses: … Hennock Quarrymen’s Antipathies: The Union Inn, Hennock, beer and cider, on or off Licensee, Mr. John Henry Hooper; owner, Wm. Swain Pinsent, Newton Abbot (lessee of premises), Commercial Union Assurance Co., Exeter (landlords). Mr. McGahey appeared for the owners, and as agent for Messrs. Friend and Tarbet, solicitors for Mr. Pinsent, the brewer, lessee, and the tenant. The claim was for £1,024. 8s 8d: This was an ante 1869 beer house. Mr. McGahey explained that there were two licensed houses in Hennock: viz., the Union Inn and the Palk Arms. They adjoined and belonged to the Commercial Union and were leased to Mr. Pinsent. It might be thought that if the Union Inn was closed the trade would go to the Palk Arms. But that was not so. The Union Inn was a quarryman’s house, and they would not go to the Palk Arms. Mr. J. Bowden, agent for the Haldon Estate the Commercial Union Assurance Co. explained the details of the figures which he had prepared. The actual rent of the licensed premises was £15.  When converted at a cost of £25 it would command a rental of £J0 a year. Mr. W. S. Pinsent, brewer of Newton Abbot, said quarrymen did not like to mix with farmers and the agricultural labourers who patronised the Palk Arms. He believed they would go to an inn at Trusham. Mrs. Cudmore, wife of the tenant who occupied the house up to October last, said she had heard the quarrymen say they would not go to the Palk Arms. Mrs. Hooper, wife of the present tenant, gave similar evidence. The Committee awarded £500, which was accepted. An agreement by which the landlords were to receive £200, the tenant five per cent, of the total award, and the balance to be paid to the lessee was confirmed. This concluded the business.
