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 …

The Ecclesiastical Troubles: Our story this time is less exciting than it was last month, being principally centred in the delivery of judgment by the Supreme Court in the case of Colenso v. Wills. The Bishop of Natal applied for an interdict restraining Rev. J. H. Will., Chaplain to Bishop Twell, of the Free State, from holding service or otherwise officiating here without having first received the licence of the lawful bishop of the diocese — Dr. Colenso. After bearing the lengthy arguments of the applicant’s counsel (Mr. S. Pinsent), and of the respondent, the Court reserved its decision, which it gave on the 31st July, when Justices Connor and Phillips gave judgment in favour of Mr. Wills, and the Chief Justice in favour of the Bishop. The interdict sought for was not therefore granted.

Cricket: Polygon School v. P. & O. (High School): … A match between the above elevens was commenced on the Antelope Ground on Wednesday bat time intervening it was decided to play it out on the following Saturday and which, it will be seen from the scores resulted in a comparatively easy victory for the former club by one innings and sixty three runs, mainly owing to the fine bating of C. Hart, Hart, A, and J. Adams, and to the rare bowling of James, who was on the spot and played havoc with his opponents stumps. Stebbing and Guichet played well for their sides. Subjoined is the score: Polygon School: 146 all out. P. & O. (High School) First innings 63 all out (F. Pincent b. James, 0); Second Innings 16 all out (F. Pincent 0) …

SOUTHAMPTON IMPERIAL HOTEL: This large and magnificent hotel having been opened to the public a short time since, a number of gentlemen connected with the mail steam shipping companies frequenting this port were invited by the directors on Saturday to inspect the building and afterwards to partake of luncheon. Bigness in our public edifices is now a favourite idea, and a tendency for large hotels having set in, a town and port which is resorted to by so many passengers from all parts of the world, as Southampton, induced a number of capitalists, taking that fact as one of the main bases for their undertaking, to erect in close contiguity to the Railway Terminus and docks an hotel which, for exterior and interior magnificence, vies with any building of the kind either in the provinces or in the metropolis itself. … … (discussion and later speeches) … … Mr. Pond gave “The pursers,” who looked after the creature comforts of those on-board ship, which was a very important department, for if anything went wrong in regard to it the speedy accomplishment of the voyage might be interfered with. Mr. Pinsent, superintendent of the pursers’ department, said after 25 years’ experience in the service he could testify to the importance of a good commissariat on board ship, for if not attended to properly something was certain to go wrong. The pursers had a difficult duty to perform, especially in giving satisfaction to some of their Indian passengers, (hear), but he was bound to say that those engaged in that department of the service were peculiarly fitted for it and performed their duties most efficiently. Those who were interested in that magnificent hotel could not do better than cultivate the good feeling of the officers and surgeons of the Peninsular and Oriental and other steamship companies connected with the port, and he was satisfied from all he had seen that better accommodation for passengers could not be found anywhere.

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.

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.
