Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General Advertiser: Saturday 6th July 1855

Agricultural Sales and Markets: A few days ago, a very important sale of shorthorn cattle, &c., took place at the seat of Mr. Pinsent, Greenhill, Devonshire, who was compelled to relinquish an admirably conducted farm in consequence of indisposition. A number of breeders from all parts of the country were present and the cattle fetched high prices. For instance, a splendid cow, six months gone in calf, named “Gay Lass,” fetched 75 guineas, and was purchased by a gentleman of Ashburton. A yearling heifer of the above animal was sold at 20 £.., and other prime beasts fetched similar high prices. The prices of animal food in the markets of the West continue high and prove very remunerative to the agriculturists. At Newton market fat bullocks sold on the last market -day, at 60s. per cwt.; cows and calves, 56s to 60s. do.; pigs, 9s 6d to 10s per score. At Crediton cattle-market, fat beasts sold at 11s per score; cows and calves, £13 to £14 each. At Exeter, Tiverton, Totnes, and other Devonshire marketseter similar prices were given.

Western Times: Saturday 28th April 1855 

Newton Abbot: The Late Arbitration: The recent case of arbitration between Mr. Bury, and the Messrs. Pinsent and Co. has been the topic of conversation during the past week amongst many of the tradesmen of the town. That many persons who have dealt with the defendants have been upon matters, of which they were previously ignorant, there can be no doubt; but, however much they have learnt during and since the investigation, the particulars of the result of the arbitration have been kept secret by the interested parties. The general version of the affair is that, on Friday morning, one side, fearing the consequences of certain secrets which were likely to be divulged, offered the other side an amount to settle the matter, — the condition being that the result should be kept strictly private. The offer was accepted; and both parties, like Cassius and Messala, shook hands in witness thereof, but probably not so sincerely. Rumour has it that Mr. Bury got the better of the settlement.
