NEWTON: Board of Guardians: Wednesday. The Rev. R. R. Wolfe presided. There was only a limited attendance of guardians. Respecting the Kingsteignton sewage, referred to last week, the following committee were today appointed to confer with Mr. Pinsent, who has obtained an injunction in Chancery to stay proceedings of the works in respect to the main sewage, it being contemplated to have the outlet on his premises near his house. Rev. J. M. Hawker, Messrs. C. Wade, J. Creed, Wills and Dr. Barham, the hope that an amicable arrangement might be come to in the matter, and thereby prevent any extraordinary amount of expenditure that must necessarily follow its being proceeded with. The works are at present stopped, by order of the Lord Chancellor. The visiting committee reported inmates clean and orderly, who made no complaint, and the provisions with which they were supplied were good. The Rev. J. M. Hawker asked the opinion of the Board relative to a girl who was living very respectably in a farmhouse, at Luton, Bishopsteignton. She had saved 17s and her father was continually pestering her for it, and wanted to take her away from her present service and place her to where he could have commanded her earnings. It was very hard on the girl, as she had no wish to leave her present situation. The officer was instructed to advise the girl to stay with her present master, and request the latter if he found her father there again, to summon him for trespassing. Mr. Rendell read the medical report; there were no returns from Messrs. Carter and Nosworthy; the others were satisfactory. The above reports, together with the sanitary and finance, were received and adopted.

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: The weekly meeting of this Board was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. R. Wolfe the chair. — The Visiting Committee reported that there were 222 paupers in the house. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Cornelius, assistant overseer for the parish of stating that the stagnant water in the public well at Cockwood had been pumped away, and the well had since been filled with good pure rock water, which he had no doubt would prove a great boon to the inhabitants. Virulent diarrhoea had already appeared there. Mr. Creed enquired if the board had taken any steps with regard to the new sewerage at Kingsteignton as he understood that an injunction had been filed in Chancery against proceeding with it. Mr. Bearne remarked that he understood the outlet of the sewer was intended to be on Mr. Pinsent’s property, near his house, and he had consequently obtained the injunction in order to prevent it. The Lord Chancellor had granted the injunction, and the works had accordingly been stopped. As the board had not as yet received any information respecting the matter, the clerk was instructed to make enquiries and to report thereon to board at their next meeting.

The Patriot: Thursday 27th September 1866

Kingsteington Devon: this considerable village has a very handsome church, for the country since its renovation, but, unfortunately, the services performed in it are tinted with the prevailing practices of the day, and savour very much of Romanism. That the fine church and its “flowery” services are not relished by a great number of the inhabitants is very patent, for the Wesleyans have a chapel here, and the Independents, have recently erected a very neat place of worship, capable of seating about 200 persons. It was built by Messrs. Bearne and Murrin, of Newton, in the Gothic style, at a cost of nearly £400. The principal portion of which was defrayed by T. Pinsent, Esq., of Greenhill – Western Times:

Kingsteignton: New Independent Chapel: This considerable village has a very handsome church for the country since its recent renovation, but, unfortunately, the services performed in it are tainted with the prevailing practices of the day, and savours very much of Romanism. That the fine church and its “flowery” services are not relished by a great number of the inhabitants is very patent, for the Wesleyans have a chapel here, and the Independents have recently erected a very neat place of worship, capable of seating about 200 persons. It was built by Messrs. Bearne and Murrin, of Newton, in the gothic style, at a cost of nearly £400 — the principal portion of which was defrayed by T. Pinsent, Esq., of Greenhill. The interior arrangements are very neat; at one end is a platform for the minister, and a gallery at the other; the seats are low and open. There are two windows at either end, but the light is considerably obscured, and will be hardly sufficient in winter without resorting to artificial aid. The whole of the woodwork is stained and varnished. The principal management of the affair has fallen on Mr. Bolton, of Highweek. Today (Friday) the opening services will be commenced by the Rev. T. C. Page preaching in the morning and evening. Dinner will be provided at the “King’s Arms,” and tea at the Wesleyan Chapel for the convenience of friends coming from a distance. Next Sunday the services will be continued, and two sermons preached by the Rev. J. M. Charlton, M.A. of the Western College, Plymouth.

Run with the Torquay Harriers: On Friday last the Torquay Harriers met at the King’s Arms Inn, Kingsteignton. Between ninety and one hundred horsemen were present, and one of the best day’s sport was enjoyed during the season. Yelverton, the huntsman, having tried round the Vicarage (the residence of the Rev. J. H. Hext), without getting a start, the estates of T. Pinsent, Esq., and Messrs. Haydon and Snow, were gone over, but with the like result. The hounds were then thrown into a coppice (belonging to M. Mapleton, Esq.), whereon hares were said to be in abundance, but to the surprise of all it was discovered that they had taken up their abode that day elsewhere, for not one could be found. No sooner, however, had the dogs left the coppice than a fine hare going at a rattling pace, was seen to cross a meadow, and then to take a circuitous route over the estate of “Lawyer Tom.” “King John,” who was the first to see the hare, sounded the alarm, and the hounds were instantly put on the scent. Crossing the road from Woolsgrove they made for Bishopsteignton, and then on to Venn. On reaching the top of Haldon the hounds were seen below on Mr. Paddon’s estate, and going in a straight line to Teignmouth Cemetery, then close to the residence of Mr. Moir, over some very stiff walls. Puss however cleared them in capital style, but shortly afterwards was run into at Coombe Vale, after a sharp run of nearly an hour. Another hare was found on Little Haldon, and after a sharp run for a mile poor pussy was “shut up.” Captain Keating had both “bobs,” and Yelverton, the huntsman, together with Stanlake (the whip), and Messrs. Charles Symons (Teignmouth), Heydon, T. Sarah (Newton), were in at the finish.
