The floods: A public meeting, convened by requisition was held at the Town Hall on Thursday evening to take into consideration the great destruction of property now becoming of frequent occurrence, from the incapacity of the present narrowed channel of the river Lemon, to carry off water. The Portreve, Mr. W Lovas, took the chair.  Mr. J. Vicary said the experience of the last three weeks called for some means to be taken to prevent these inundations; he did not think he over stated the loss from the recent floods in setting it down at £4,000 and the dwellings of both rich and poor had suffered severely; he thought the only remedy was to go to the Marsh, deepening it to the Newton Mill, thence through Mr. Pinsent’s to his own farm yard, the expense to be borne by both parties. Messrs. Milward, Branscombe, Bearne, Coward, Abberley, and J. Bealey forcibly addressed the meeting; there was a general agreement in opinion that some decided plan to remedy the evil should be adopted, but some difference as to what should be the scheme. It was resolved on the motion of Mr. Vicary that Mr. Dymond, of Exeter, Mr. Abberley, and Mr. Peter Bearne, should be called in to see what could be done, and he would guarantee the expense. Thanks were voted to the Portreve and the meeting broke up.

Teignmouth: Harbour Commissioners; A meeting of this body took place at the CourtHouse, on Thursday, C. Kelson Esq. in the Chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, – the following balances were shown to be in the hands of the treasurer, – harbour £601 16s 5d, river, £80 12s, 2d. Mr. Ford gave notice that he should move, at the next meeting, that the future meetings be held alternately at Newton and Teignmouth. Mr. Pinsent gave notice that the next meeting he should move that £400 now held as balance in the hands of the Treasurer should be taken to pay off the deed poll. Mr. Bearne called attention to the inefficient buoys up the river, they were blocks of solid wood, and could hardly be seen in rough weather. He had made enquiries, and found in the river Exe that barrel buoys were used, and answered the purpose much better. The bargemen frequently complained of the inefficiency of the buoys and said that much danger was incurred. He moved that two barrel-buoys should be ordered. Mr. Ford seconded it, and it was unanimously agreed to. The meeting was then adjourned to the 15th April.

Newton Abbot: At the Newton Abbot County Court, held last week, the following cases which excited much interest in the trade were tried by W.M. Praed, Esq.: Matthews and others v Pinsent and Burgoyne: This was a claim for the value of fifty bushels of malt. Mr. Stogon, of Exeter, conducted the case for the plaintiffs, Messrs. Matthews, and Opie, hop and spirit merchants, and Mr. Taverner, of Exeter. Mr. Francis, of Newton, appeared for the defendants, Mr. Pinsent, brewer of Newton, and Mr. Burgoyne, his traveller. Mr. Duke, innkeeper of Chudleigh, on the 21st of December, 1850, made an assignment of his property and effects to the plaintiffs, as trustees under his estate for the benefit of his creditors; and the same day after the effects were taken possession of, Mr. Burgoyne obtained from Duke fifty bushels of malt, which he took away from the premises, and sold for Mr. Pinsent, who was a creditor. Application was made for the return of the malt, which was refused, and then the action was brought. These facts having been deposed to Mr. Francis for the defendants, remarked that by the deed given, the plaintiffs had obtained a preference over all other creditors, and submitted that as Restall who was in possession of the property, gave up possession to Burgoyne, there was a defence to the action. His Honour said, it was not because a person who had been put in possession of effects improperly gave up property, that such a proceeding was to be taken as an answer to a claim such as that made in this case, it might be regretted that in some cases of this kind there would be a scramble amongst the creditors, but this could not justify a creditor, after an assignment had been made, in getting possession of and taking away goods, although such goods had been supplied by himself. He could only trust this as an undefended action, and his judgement was for the plaintiff: Damages £15; Costs £7 5s 5d.
