GRO0911 Devonport: William Swain Pinsent: 1843 – 1920
Ex-Soldier’s Fraud: At Newton Abbot, Albert Lakes has been charged, on remand, with endeavouring to obtain £2 by false pretenses from Mrs. Pinsent, 6, Devon Square. Prisoner called on prosecutrix to collect her gas account. She objected to pay, as it was such an exorbitant amount, and he then told her he believed the Gas Company was robbing her. At his suggestion he examined the meter and on his return two policemen, who had been watching him, took him into custody. He pleaded not guilty. He said Mrs. Pinsent asked him if he was Mr. Clarke, the gas manager, and he replied that he was called Wild. She then told him that there was something the matter with the meter, and, thinking to help her, he offered to examine it. He had a peddler’s certificate and a ten years’ character from the 4th Gloucester Militia, from which £1 was due to him, and if he was sent to prison, he would lose that. Sent to prison for a month with hard labour.

The Rapacity of the Hawk: A few days ago, a hawk, attracted by the melody of a beautiful collection of feathered songsters hung up in Mr. T. Pynsent’s greenhouse at Hillsborough, near Westward Ho, Appledore, made a dart at the glass and smashed a pane one-eighth of an inch in thickness. The hawk hung in the aperture nearly ten minutes, apparently dead, but when approached the Misses Pynsent, who were attracted by the noise; it flew way, having only been stunned.
