Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: Wednesday: The Rev. R. R. Wolfe presided. The attendance of Guardians was large. It was intimated that in consequence of the new Act of Parliament the Sewage Utilization Act, the duties of looking into nuisances, or, in other words, the duties that at present devolve on inspector of nuisances, will in future devolve on the vestries of the different parishes, consequently the services of the sanitary inspector will only be required for a short time longer. He was, however, instructed to proceed with his duties for the present.  Mr. Pinsent, Guardian of Kingsteignton, produced a letter signed by the overseers of that village, requesting that the salary of Mr. Gillard, the assistant overseer be not paid, in consequence his not having discharged his duties in not collecting the rates. The Guardians agreed with the purport of the letter and promised to do as requested: The number of inmates to be 248.

East Devon Election: Sir L. Palk and Lord Courtenay at Newton: Catechised and Declared Unfit: The Chairman’s Mistake: The Baronet and the Lord Bolt. Chairman Watts withholding what’s wanted: Great Liberal Triumph: The meeting held on Wednesday at Newton was a most signal defeat of the Tories. They now have evoked the feeling that runs so high in the Eastern Division. If the Liberals do not, after this, bring out a candidate, they deserve the worst fate that can befall a constituency – they merit being represented by Sir L. Palk and Lord Courtenay. The managers of the meeting had feared Liberal enterprise and took care to keep the door of the Assembly Room at the Globe closed to the public until the platform was occupied and the upper part of the room filled by known supporters of the decadent party. But when the doors were opened the independent electors marked in and filled the hall. It is estimated that over eight hundred were present. The room was densely packed, and it has been many years since any such a numerous and exciting gathering was seen at Newton. W. J. Watts, Esq., presided, sitting between the two candidates. There were also present … (long list includes) … J. Pinsent …  (political speeches followed by a vote of no confidence in the candidates that was “deemed” to be lost by the chairman) …

Liberal Meeting at Newton: The Eastern Division has promptly and worthily followed the example of South Devon. The Liberals of the Newton district convened a public meeting at the Town Hall on Wednesday, to form an Association for watching the register on behalf of the Liberals of the Eastern Division. The Tories call this Division a pocket borough. The Liberals will not pocket this affront: they mean to assert their rights and have begun the campaign in the right way. There was a numerous attendance of gentlemen, farmers, and of other classes, and enthusiastic spirit prevailed. C. J. Wade, Esq., who had been chairman of the preliminary meeting of Liberals, was unanimously called to the chair; and amongst those present were:  — R. Vicary, Esq., Admiral Wise, R. Baker, Esq., Michelmore, Esq., J. Vicary, Esq., J. H. Tozer, Esq , (Teignmouth), R. Tucker, Esq. (Ashburton), S. Branscombe, Esq., C. Gaye, Esq., E. C. Kent, Esq., Rev. D. Good, J. Harris, Esq. (Park Hill), Dr. N. J. Haydon (Bovey Tracey), J. Pinsent, Esq., J. Bowden, Esq. (Mayor of Totnes), Capt. Lethbridge, R.N., Capt. Sweeting, R.N., Capt. …  (and others) …  (discussion of political and religious issues) … Mr. John Harris moved that in the opinion of that meeting it was desirable that a Registration Association should be formed in each polling district of the division. Mr. W. Creed seconded the resolution in a brief but energetic speech. Unless they seized the present opportunity of contesting the division when the new Reform Act came into operation, they would be letting the Conservatives get hold upon it, which they might never be able to loosen. They must, therefore, be prepared to do their duty at the present time — (hear, hear). The motion was carried. Mr. R. Vicary moved that the following form the committee, with power to add to their number — Messrs. E. Ford, R. J. Haydon, A. Pike, J. Richards, C. J. Wade, J. Stooke, R. Vicary, R. Tucker, Dr. Barham, Admiral Wise, G. Davis, Rev. M. Hawker, Joseph Vooght, J. Bowden, J. B. Stooke, Thos. Pinsent, J. Avery, E. S. Bearne, H. Michelmore, C. Gaye, J. A. Chudleigh, J. S. Stevens, W. Creed, W. Lambshed, C. Veale, R. Webb, J. Bickford, J. Vooght, T. Cornish, F. Buckland, Rev. Dr. Good, J. Harris, and Capt. Lethbridge. Mr. Buckland made a telling speech seconding the motion. He had been an elector of South Devon for twenty-one years and had never yet had the opportunity of recording a vote. Many in that room could no doubt say the same — (hear, hear). But the state of things had now altered, and it was for them now to take advantage of their new political privileges —(cheers). … (continues) …
