In respect to the Punch Bowl Inn, Moreton, the amount which had been suggested was £1,088 11s. The Committee had proposed £550. The Commissioners of Inland Revenue, to whom the matter was referred, had fixed £756. Mr. Tarbet, who appeared for the owner and tenant, suggested the apportionment should be 5 per cent, to the tenant (Charles Loram) and the balance to the owner (Mr. W. S. Pinsent, Newton Abbot). Both were satisfied. The tenant who had been in the house 16 years carried on three other trades. The proportions were sanctioned.
