Newton: Auction for a Freehold Property: On Tuesday Messrs. Rendell and Symons held an auction at the Globe Hotel for the sale freehold estate at Kingsteignton, formerly the property of the late Mr. Pinsent, but more recently owned by the late Mr. Parsons, of Teignmouth. The first lot, the residential estate Kingsteignton, was bid £5,600 for; the reserve price was £8,000. The plantation of 24 acres was reserved at £1,200 exclusive of timber, which had to be taken a valuation; £675 was the highest bid. Consequently, both lots remained unsold.
