Newton Abbot: … … Another instance of the extreme danger of the open leat at Newton occurred on Thursday, when the five-year-old son Mr. E. Mallett narrowly escaped drowning. The child was playing on the steps by the leat, near Pinsent’s brewery, and whilst a traction engine was passing, fell into the water. An alarm was immediately raised, for with the leat running fairly swiftly, the child disappeared between the houses. Further down, however, the child was recovered, being then unconscious. After artificial respiration had been successfully resorted to, he was taken to his home.

Devon County Show: Progress of Arrangement: A meeting of the Council of the Devon County agricultural Association was held at the Castle of Exeter yesterday. The Earl of Devon presided over a large attendance. It was decided to grant permission, on the usual terms, for the holding of a Dog show in connection with the show at Newton Abbot in May. … … Mr. W. F. Pinsent (sic), of Newton Abbot, wrote offering two silver cups for competition in the harness classes at the show. The Secretary (Mr. E. R. Callender) said the Council had nothing worthy of such a good offer. The Chairman suggested that the Secretary write and say that there were no classes in the harness section worthy of the offer and ask Mr. Pinsent if the cups could be offered for some other completion. It was ultimately decided to leave the matter in the hands of the secretary. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Pinsent for his kind offer.

WATCH THEFT AT NEWTON: A MONTH’S HARD LABOUR:  Yesterday, the Newton Abbot Petty Sessions, Charles Britten, of no fixed abode, was charged with stealing a gentleman’s silver watch, value 30s, the property of Eustace Brodrick, of Highweek, on September 12th. The evidence of the prosecutor was that he was working at Pinsent’s Brewery, and his coat and waistcoat, containing a watch and chain, knife, and pencil-case, were left in the passage. Prisoner came to see Mr. Pinsent, but after waiting ten minutes in the passage left. A traveling showman, named William Henry Whiting, said the prisoner offered him the watch for 6s, saying he wanted to sell it for a chap who was hard up. Witness told him that he could buy new watches for the hoop-la for 4s 9d, and eventually he purchased it for 3s 6d. P.C. Anstey proved the recovery of the watch and the arrest of the prisoner at midnight at the Jolly Sailor Inn. Prisoner pleaded guilty and had nothing to say. There was a previous conviction against the prisoner for an assault on a woman, at Newton, June last, and the Bench now sentenced him to one month’s hard labour.
