Churston Ferrers Petty Sessions: Yesterday – Before H. Studdy, Esq., (in the chair), Rear-Admiral Dawkins and LLewellyn, Esq., John Ball Pinsent, of Newton Abbot, was fined L. 1 and costs for permitting a sign board to remain over the door of the Town Arms Inn, Higher Brixham, purporting that the license was held by one Thos. Jewell. The defendants said it was a mistake and arose through a misunderstanding with the out-going tenant: – Jewell was mulcted in a similar penalty for permitting his name to be so used. The Bench afterwards consented to the transfer of the license from Mr. Pinsent to Jewell.
