Singular Accident at Kingsteington: A Few days’ ago, a horse, attached to waggon, laden with bags of chaff, belonging to Messrs. Pinsent and Sons, brewers of Newton, ran away whilst going through Kingsteington. A lad who was on the cart was thrown off with several of the bags and was severely bruised. The horse, before it had proceeded far, ran into a flock of sheep, belonging to Mr. Charles Knowles, the well-known cattle dealer at that place, and four of them were so severely injured that they had to be slaughtered immediately afterwards. The horse was subsequently secured uninjured.

TRIAL TRIP OF THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAMSHIP AUSTRALIA: This fine vessel, which was added to the Peninsular and Oriental Company’s fleet some six weeks ago, and which has made one voyage to Alexandria and back, was taken to Stokes-bay on Wednesday for a trial at the measured mile, under the command of Captain R. Methven, previous to her being despatched to India for service on that station. Since her return from the Mediterranean, she has been fitted with a new four-bladed screw, 17ft. 6in. in diameter, and 23ft. to 25ft. pitch, and the alteration has produced the most satisfactory results, adding to the previous good rate of speed of the ship. She made two runs on the mile, there being no wind and no tide at the time, the first of which was accomplished in 4min. 22 secs., equal to 13.748 knots per hour, and the second in 4min. 18 secs., or 13.953 knots, the true mean of the two being 13.850 knots; revolutions of engines, 59; pressure of steam, 40 lb; vacuum, 26. … (continues) … The party on board at Wednesday’s trial included Messrs.

Newton Abbot: Petty sessions: Tuesday, Before J. Divett, Esq. (chairman), W. R. Hole, Esq., R. Vicary, Esq., C. J. Wade, Esq., G. B. Eilicombe, Esq., and Admiral Wise. This was the annual licensing day; consequently, there was a large attendance of innkeepers and others. Mr. Wade referred to several illicit drinking shops in Hennock, which he designated as a curse to the neighbourhood. Mr. Baker applied for a spirit license for a house at Holcombe, Dawlish, which had been kept by James Lethbridge as a beerhouse for 17 years. It had been remodelled, and several new rooms added to it. There was no opposition, and the license was granted. Mr. Baker, on behalf Mr. John Ball Pinsent, applied for a retail licence for a house in Queen-street. The house has recently been fitted up in elaborate style, and a similar application was made to the Bench last year, when it was refused; subsequently a licence was granted to sell drink not to be consumed on the premises, but it has not been acted on. Mr. Creed, instructed by Mr. S. Rumson, for the Newton Total Abstinence Society, opposed the application on the ground that there was no necessity for another licensed house in Queen-street, as it already contained eleven licensed houses from the Commercial Hotel to the Railway Station, and he also produced a plan of the most populous portion of the street showing the public houses in it. The Bench unanimously refused the application. … (continues) …
