Newton Abbot: Petty Sessions: Tuesday: Before Admiral Cornish-Bowden and Dr. Atkinson: … Mr. T. Cornish of Wolfsgrove, Bishopsteignton, was summoned by Mr. J. Harris, Surveyor of Highways, for neglecting to prune his hedges as required by the Act: Complainant stated that he served a notice on the defendant on the 26th September, but up to the 2nd of the present month nothing had been done. The overgrowth, he contends, was injurious to the road, and detrimental to the public. The defendant said he had the hedges trimmed in August, and the only difference between him and Mr. Harris was the height to which they should be trimmed. He denied that in their present state they were injurious to the road, or detrimental to the public. The bench held that the overlapping of the high bushes was injurious and made an order for them to be pruned within ten days, and the defendant to pay the costs: Gilbert Pinsent, of Were Barton, Kingsteignton was summoned for a similar offence in respect to a hedge leading to Hackney. Notice in this case was also served on the 26th September, but the work was neglected, and as the road was only about six feet wide it inconvenienced the public using it: Ordered to be done in ten days, defendant to pay costs. Mr. Pinsent was further charged with obstructing the highway by leaving a quantity of brushwood by the sides of the road to the inconvenience of the public. Complainant admitted that he had given no notice or said anything to the defendant in respect to this charge, and it was dismissed. …

Testimonial to Mr. J. Pynsent Mathew: Master of the Talaton Harriers: This popular sportsman was on Thursday evening last week presented at the Dolphin Hotel, Honiton with a gratifying and well a merited token of regard. And so appropriate a compliment must have been greatly enhanced by the person attendance of neighbours, friends and brother sportsmen from all points of his county, anxious to show the esteem he had commanded during the long period (considerably over twenty years) that he had provided sport, and maintained not only his excellent pack but the honoured position of master of the Talaton Harriers, in a manner which had given satisfaction the entire agricultural community …. (description of event) …Sir John continued: it is now my pleasing duty to ask Mr. Pynsent Mathews acceptance of this noble gift, in the names of all who are present, and of those few upon this list who are unfortunately absent, and to offer it in the words of the following inscription engrave upon the chaste and elegant silver kettle now before me: “Presented with a tea and coffee service to J. Pynsent Mathew, Esq., of Rydon, Talaton, Devon, the 1st day of November 1877, on the occasion of a dinner (presided over by Sir J. H. Kennaway, Bart. M.P.) – given to Mr. Pynsent Mathew by the followers of his hounds, as a sincere token of the respect and esteem in which he is held by his neighbours and friends …. (other speeches) …Mr. F. L. Ellis proposed the healths of Mrs. Pynsent Mathew and family, and with a few other sentiments, some capital songs and five old bachelors returning thanks seriatim, for the ladies, this very successful “Meet” was brought to a close.
