This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Wiltshire won by an innings and 16 runs after enforcing the follow-on.
Only an hour was needed on the second day to finish the game.
For the winners, Miller took 12 wickets in the match for 93 runs, including 7 for 38 in the Devon first innings.
Stancomb top scored in the game with 42 not out in the Wiltshire innings.
One report described the latter stages of his innings as being "very slow and not at all interesting to watch".
During the two Devon innings, 15 batsmen were dismissed caught, an occurrence repeated on two other occasions during the season.
[Missing: Umpires; in Wiltshire innings runs conceded by bowlers 13 in excess; precise time completed.]
