Ashburton: The Dinner: We state in our report elsewhere, that in consequence of the Market Hall being too small to contain the invited guests, parties dined at other houses. At the Rose and Crown, about 50 assembled under the presidency of Mr. Robert Osmond, and the toasts of the evening, including that of Mr. Jardine’s health were duly honoured. Of those who attended the Market Hall, we give an imperfect list, to which the following names are to be added: Messrs. Hamlyn Brothers, 2; Mr. Churchward, 2; Mr. Scott; Mr. Ball; Mr. Warren, 2 (Buckfastleigh); Messrs. Stooke, Mugford, Pinsent, Holmes, &c. (Newton); Messrs. P. Scott, E. Drake (Manaton); A. Pike, Mathews (Chudleigh); Messrs. Chester, Holman, Punchard (Totnes); Messrs. Hannaford, 5, Irish, 2, Slocombe (Widdicombe); Messrs. Mann, 2, Michelmore, Waymouth, Winsor, Hoare (Staverton); Messrs. Hannaford, Stooke, Sharp, Murch and Lee (Hennock).
