Petty Session: Before J. Divett, Esq. (chairman), W. J. Watts, Esq, C. J. Wade, Esq. and Admiral Wise. Jury Lists:  — The overseers of the various parishes in the division returned to-day lists of all the persons liable to serve on juries in the division. There were very few objections: Transfer of Licences: The Licence of the Plymouth Inn in this town was transferred from John Ball Pinsent to Wm. Saunders, who for nearly two years had managed it for Mr. Pinsent: Renewal of Application for Licences: Mr. Baker, on the part of Mr. John Ball Pinsent, renewed his application for an ale house license for premises in Queen Street for the sale of wines, spirits, beer etc. And produced a memorial signed by numerous influential residents in the locality in favour of the application. Mr. Creed, on the part of Mr. Magor, contended that Mr. Baker had no locus standi in renewing the application and that the Bench had no power to reopen the question having already decided it. … … … … (also) … … … Kingsteignton Sewage Rate: Mr. Whiteway the part of Mr. Partridge, assistant-overseer of the parish of Kingsteignton, applied for an order on Mr. Pinsent of Kingsteignton, to pay £6 6s 3d, the amount of his quota of £170, the full value of the rate which based on the poor-rate, and is in proportion one fourth in lands and three fourths in houses. Mr. Partridge proved the rate and applying to Mr. Pinsent for his amount of the quota. The answer he got was, “I intend to contest the rate the utmost,” and added he would not pay unless obliged to so. Mr. Baker appeared for Mr. Pinsent and cross-examined the applicant, who said this was not the first sewer rate he had made. Mr. Pinsent had paid a previous rate that was proved to have been invalid. Mr. Pinsent was summoned for the payment of that rate, and he paid it; others were summoned but did not pay, and the magistrates decided that the rate was not valid. If Mr. Pinsent paid this rate, he would pay an additional rate to some others. The £170 was required pay costs that had been incurred in procuring the Acts of Parliament. He could not say that it was law costs incurred in defending the action brought by Mr. Pinsent. Mr. Baker objected to the validity of the notices and contended that it was incumbent on Mr. Whiteway to show that the sewer authority had issued their precepts which had not been done. Mr. Whiteway, however, contended that all that was required had been done, and submitted that the present was not the proper course to adopt; if Mr. Pinsent had any cause of complaint, it was for him to appeal. A long argument ensued between the legal gentlemen and the Bench, and it was eventually decided to allow the case to stand over for two months to give Mr. Pinsent an opportunity to recover, if possible, the amount he formerly paid for a rate, and in case he did, the Bench would have no difficulty making an order in this case. The case was consequently adjourned to December 14th.

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: Wednesday: The Rev. R. R. Wolfe presided: The report of the Visiting Committee, read by the Rev. F. J. Taylor, showed the house to be in good order and the number of inmates 282. There were satisfactory returns from all the medical officers. A letter from the Poor Law Board was read stating that although Mr. Brown, the medical officer from St. Mary Church district complied with the regulations of the Board by residing within the district, still they considered his residing at Kingskerswell instead of St. Mary Church must be very inconvenient to the populous residence of the latter, especially as he was not enabled to secure a deputy at St. Mary Church …  … A letter from Mr. Pinsent, Kingsteington, was read stating that he should oppose any payment out of the poor rates of the costs incurred by the late action in the Court of Chancery, in which he was plaintiff and the sewer authority defendants. The Board considered they had nothing to do in the matter; it rested entirely with the ratepayers of Kingsteington.

They were sitting by the fire when Mrs. Tozer happened to look out of the window and saw a tree in the act of falling towards the house. They instantly made their exit and had no sooner done it when the tree fell across the house with a tremendous crash, breaking in the roof and smashing into splinters the chair that Mr. Tozer had just left.

Newton: Newton there was great devastation. The skylight of Mr. Davey’s shop, Courtenay-street, was blown out into the middle of the street, and several persons closed their shops to prevent similar mishaps. In Courtenay Park and Seaton-road there is scarcely a house but has suffered more or less. Many trees have been blown down, especially on the hills. At Wood, Bishopsteignton, six large elm trees, nearly 200 years old, were uprooted. At Highweek fifty trees were blown down, Stover about 200, and at Hackun 100. One end of the lodge of Mr. Pinsent, Greenhill, Kingsteignton, was knocked away by the falling of a large tree. At Bickington a chimney was blown down and fell through a house. The Ashburton ‘bus, when on its way home, just escaped demolition; a large tree fell, and nearly knocked the driver of the box. At Teignmouth much damage was done. Trees were uprooted Mr. Gulson’s residence Coombe Vale; the archery ground; and Miss Richards, Winterborn. The Sebastopol brewery chimney was levelled, causing great damage. Shaldon enjoyed comparative immunity, though a monument about feet high, erected to Captain Graham, was blown down.

NARROW ESCAPE AT NEWTON ABBOT: During the gale on Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. Tozer, of Greenhill Lodge, leading to the residence of T. Pinsent, Esq., had a very narrow escape of being killed. They were sitting by the fire, when Mrs. Tozer, on looking out the window, noticed a tree about to fall in the direction of their house. She instantly acquainted her husband of their danger, and they both made their exit as soon as possible. Strange to say, they had scarcely left when the tree, a very large one, fell on the house, knocking in the roof and breaking the chair Mr. Tozer had just before been sitting on into splinters. The skylight of Mr. Davey’s shop in Courtenay-street was blown into the street, and many houses suffered severely.
