Liberal Meeting at Newton: The Eastern Division has promptly and worthily followed the example of South Devon. The Liberals of the Newton district convened a public meeting at the Town Hall on Wednesday, to form an Association for watching the register on behalf of the Liberals of the Eastern Division. The Tories call this Division a pocket borough. The Liberals will not pocket this affront: they mean to assert their rights and have begun the campaign in the right way. There was a numerous attendance of gentlemen, farmers, and of other classes, and enthusiastic spirit prevailed. C. J. Wade, Esq., who had been chairman of the preliminary meeting of Liberals, was unanimously called to the chair; and amongst those present were:  — R. Vicary, Esq., Admiral Wise, R. Baker, Esq., Michelmore, Esq., J. Vicary, Esq., J. H. Tozer, Esq , (Teignmouth), R. Tucker, Esq. (Ashburton), S. Branscombe, Esq., C. Gaye, Esq., E. C. Kent, Esq., Rev. D. Good, J. Harris, Esq. (Park Hill), Dr. N. J. Haydon (Bovey Tracey), J. Pinsent, Esq., J. Bowden, Esq. (Mayor of Totnes), Capt. Lethbridge, R.N., Capt. Sweeting, R.N., Capt. …  (and others) …  (discussion of political and religious issues) … Mr. John Harris moved that in the opinion of that meeting it was desirable that a Registration Association should be formed in each polling district of the division. Mr. W. Creed seconded the resolution in a brief but energetic speech. Unless they seized the present opportunity of contesting the division when the new Reform Act came into operation, they would be letting the Conservatives get hold upon it, which they might never be able to loosen. They must, therefore, be prepared to do their duty at the present time — (hear, hear). The motion was carried. Mr. R. Vicary moved that the following form the committee, with power to add to their number — Messrs. E. Ford, R. J. Haydon, A. Pike, J. Richards, C. J. Wade, J. Stooke, R. Vicary, R. Tucker, Dr. Barham, Admiral Wise, G. Davis, Rev. M. Hawker, Joseph Vooght, J. Bowden, J. B. Stooke, Thos. Pinsent, J. Avery, E. S. Bearne, H. Michelmore, C. Gaye, J. A. Chudleigh, J. S. Stevens, W. Creed, W. Lambshed, C. Veale, R. Webb, J. Bickford, J. Vooght, T. Cornish, F. Buckland, Rev. Dr. Good, J. Harris, and Capt. Lethbridge. Mr. Buckland made a telling speech seconding the motion. He had been an elector of South Devon for twenty-one years and had never yet had the opportunity of recording a vote. Many in that room could no doubt say the same — (hear, hear). But the state of things had now altered, and it was for them now to take advantage of their new political privileges —(cheers). … (continues) …

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: The weekly meeting of this board was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. R. Wolfe presiding. The Rev. F. S. Wall, presenting the report of the Visiting Committee, reported that there were 228 paupers in the house. The report of the Medical Committee, read by Mr. Rendell, showed that satisfactory returns had been received from the whole of the medical officers. Dr. Barham, in bringing up the report of the Sanitary Committee, stated that they had received a letter from the Rev. Mr. Lightfoot, complaining certain nuisances at Cockwood, and they had instructed the Inspector to inspect them, and to report thereon. The Clerk next read the report of the Finance Committee. It recommended the settlement of the clerk’s, relieving officers’, master’s, and other salaries, amounting to £117 18s., and medical officers’ salaries, amounting to £118 16s. 2d., for the past quarter, besides 18s. for a special attendance fee. The report, and those that preceded it, were adopted. Mr. Creed said that during the past week he had seen Mr. Whiteway, the Chairman of the Sanitary Committee at Kingsteignton, and that he should be willing to attend at the next board meeting, and give some fresh information with regard to the sewerage improvements that had been commenced in the parish, and which were present stopped in consequence of injunction obtained by Mr. Pinsent from the Court of Chancery. Several guardians expressed an opinion, from what they had recently heard, that the injunction only had reference to the cesspit. On the motion Mr. Cuming, seconded by Mr. Creed, the Clerk was directed to write to Mr. Whiteway, requesting him to attend the next meeting of the board.

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardian: The weekly meeting of this body was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. R. Wolfe in the chair. The Rev. F. S. Wall reported that there were 223 inmates in the house. … Mr. Wade next adverted to the Kingsteinton sewerage question and stated that with the other members of the committee that were appointed a short time ago by the board, he had inspected the works. They found that the drain for about 100 or 150 yards was carried along the centre of an embankment, and that, as it was lined with bricks, the joints of which were not cemented, there was continual leakage. An injunction had been served on the local authorities, so that they could not proceed with the works. He agreed with Mr. Pinsent who had taken action in the matter with a view to stopping the works, that the sewer would prove a great nuisance to him. After a few remarks from the other members of the committee the subject dropped. …

Pinsent … Mr. Wade as one of the committee appointed to wait on Mr. Pinsent at Kingsteignton, in reference to the main sewage, which is stopped by order of the Lord Chancellor, an injunction having been obtained for that purpose, stated that a worse drain he never saw, for 150 yards it was neither cemented nor puddled, and consequently would not contain water, and must therefore prove a nuisance. From his conversation with Mr. Pinsent, he feared there was no chance of amicably setting the matter, as that gentleman stated that he must leave it in the hands of his lawyers. It was evidently a nuisance to Mr. Pinsent’s property. The board regretted the necessity for the steps Mr. Pinsent found himself called upon to take …

NEWTON ABBOT: Board of Guardians: The weekly meeting of this board was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. Wolfe presiding. A committee consisting of the Rev. J. M. Hawker, Messrs. J C. Wade, J. Creed, T. Wills, and Dr. Barham was appointed to meet Mr. Pinsent, with a view entering into some amicable arrangement with regard to the sewerage of the parish of Kingsteignton. According to the plans of the board the sewerage of the village of Kingsteignton is intended to be emptied on property belonging to, and near, the residence of Mr. Pinsent. Mr. Pinsent has consequently applied for an injunction at the Court of Chancery, and it has been granted, for the stoppage of the works. The Rev. F. S. Wall, who brought the report of the Visiting Committee stated that there were 219 paupers in the house. Mr. Lawe reminded the board that about eighteen months or two years ago an order was given for the admittance of a pauper named Woodley, into the house as soon as she was capable of being removed. Since then, she had to his own knowledge resided in different parts of the town, and now he said she was in the house. He therefore wanted to know how it was that she had not been compelled to come into the house before. Mr. Tozer, the relieving officer, said that the medical officer would not grant an order for her removal before. The subject then dropped, and the board shortly afterwards adjourned.
