Devon Licences County Committee Meet at the Castle of Exeter: The principal meeting of the Devon Licensing Committee was held at the Castle of Exeter on Monday, Lord Clifford presiding … … King’s Arms, Chagford: In the case of the King’s Arms, Chagford, the tenant was Mr. James John Crook; registered owners, Mrs. H. G. Collins, Chester, and Mr. E. Hooper, Tiverton-road, Exeter. Mr. Lawrance, who appeared for the justices, said this was a curious case. Mr. Crook was in the employ of Messrs. Pinsent, brewers of Newton Abbot, and did not live the premises. He came to the house sometimes at weekends, and he had a tenant named Frank George Rose. No explanation was given before the magistrates why this licensee did not live on the premises. It was a tied house, and the business was stated by Mr. Crook to be £20 a month gross. But the justices had reason to believe that was not more than £6 a month. No objection was offered to Mr. Tarbet, and the license was not renewed.

Newton Abbot: … … Another instance of the extreme danger of the open leat at Newton occurred on Thursday, when the five-year-old son Mr. E. Mallett narrowly escaped drowning. The child was playing on the steps by the leat, near Pinsent’s brewery, and whilst a traction engine was passing, fell into the water. An alarm was immediately raised, for with the leat running fairly swiftly, the child disappeared between the houses. Further down, however, the child was recovered, being then unconscious. After artificial respiration had been successfully resorted to, he was taken to his home.

Sudden Death at Newton Abbot: A sudden death occurred at Newton yesterday afternoon. It seems that Mrs. Elizabeth Bailey, 48, housekeeper to Mr. W. S. Pinsent of High week-street, left home to attend a funeral, and on reaching the almshouses in Wolborough-street she could go no further. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Tucker, a brother-in-law and sister, who are on a holiday in the town, were with her at the time, and they removed her into the almshouse occupied by Mrs. Harvey. Medical aid was summoned, but on Dr. Scrase arriving he pronounced life extinct. The death has been reported to the coroner, it is improbable that an inquest will be held, as Dr. Scott had been attending the deceased for heart trouble for some time past.
