However, I seem to recall that during the Civil War Arundell raised a sizable body of men "for the king" from his riding (being a descendant of the fellow mentioned above, we can see that these parliamentary seats, though gained through election really seemed to be inherited - no one voted them out of the position). If you've ever seen (or read) the Poldark series, I believe Arundell played a part in them too! I would imagine the name was used in your family because it was a Cornish tradition... everyone looked up to the Arundell's apparently. Hope this helps. Sher

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday, 13th June, 1856. NOTICE - All persons indebted to the Estate of the late Mr. CHARLES DAVIS, of Tresillian, are requested to pay their respective Amounts to Mr. CLYMA; and all persons having any Claims on the Estate, are requested to transmit the same, in order to their immediate settlement, to Mr. Clyma, Accountant, River Street, Truro. ON DIT - It is reported that a marriage is on the tapis between Sir HUGH MOLESWORTH, Bart., of Cornwall, and the daughter of Mr. PRIDEAUX BRUNE, of Prideaux Place, and niece to Lord CAREW. It is also said that a marriage will shortly take place between Mr. BRIDGES WILLYAMS, son of Mr. Willyams of Carnanton, and Miss WHELER, daughter of Sir TREVOR WHELER, Bart. PERRAN WHARF - The first-born of Mr. MICHAEL HENRY WILLIAMS, of Tredrea, being a son, the place became the scene of much rejoicing and rural festivity on the 5th instant. About seven o'clock in the evening, four splendid arches, with suitable mottoes, sprung up as if by magic along the road from the Lodge Gate to the Norway Inn, and soon after a salute of one hundred and one cannon was fired from the Perran Foundry Company's little park of brass guns. Tar barrels then began to blaze along the valley and on the surrounding hills, which was followed by a magnificent display of fire works. Over the portico of Mr. CARNELL's door was placed the Williams's crest with the initials of the "little stranger" underneath, M. W., and on the Foundry Terrace sparkled through the trees the good old Cornish Arms of "One and All." Both were lit up with gas, and surrounded by laurel interspersed with flowers. Emidy's band was in attendance, and in addition to playing on the stand erected for the purpose, frequently paraded the beautiful walks of the lovely valley. Dance music was agreeably alternated with marches and other selections, and it was enjoyed to its full extent by those present, who could not have been less than from 1,500 to 2,000. The dancing was conducted with much propriety, and those who surrounded them did everything possible to afford accommodation and add to their pleasures. In a word, the general conduct of the people was what all previous experience led those interested to expect, - hearty and somewhat noisy, but invariably civil, orderly, and considerate; so much so, that those who were connected with the management of the amusements must be deeply gratified at the result, and the day will be long remembered with satisfaction by Mr. Williams and his family. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS - Mr. JOHN WAY, OF St. Austell, underwent the necessary examination for a diploma, and was admitted a member of this college at the meeting of the Court of Examiners on the 6th instant. PRINCE BONAPARTE - Prince Lucien Bonaparte, cousin of the Emperor, was at Falmouth last week, and took up his residence at Selley's Royal Hotel. TESTIMONIAL TO CAPT. CHARLES THOMAS - At the meeting of Dolcoath adventurers, held at the mine on Monday last, when there was a large number present, it was unanimously resolved, during the temporary absence of Capt. Charles Thomas from the room, that some testimonial should be presented to him, expressive of the respect and esteem of the adventurers; and a handsome amount was almost immediately subscribed by the adventurers present, towards the sum to be devoted to that purpose. We are informed that Capt. Thomas has been forty-one years agent to Dolcoath mine, and that he worked in the mine previously about nine years. On his return to the room, Capt. Charles Thomas expressed himself as being almost overcome by the kindness which had been evinced towards him, and stated that the mine had given him great anxiety, inasmuch as it was principally through his advice, that the workings had been continued. Capt. Thomas also adverted to the usefulness of the man engine, and said it would be impossible to retain able tributers to work in so deep a mine without it. PRESENTATION TO A TENANT FARMER - At the recent annual audit of rents, held at the Trelaske Home Farm, a massive Silver Snuff Box containing a Bank of England note for GBP100, was presented to Mr. THOMAS BAWDEN, one of the tenants, bearing this inscription:- "This box, together with GBP100, was presented to Thomas Bawden by his obliged landlord and sincere friend, EDWARD ARCHER, Trelaske, May, 1856." At the same time, Mr. C. L. RADCLIFFE, the steward, informed him that he had been instructed to remit the whole arrear of rent then due, amounting to a year and a half, and to grant him a fresh term in his estate, (of the lease of which he himself would make him a present); the whole to be regarded as a compensation for the injury and annoyance he had sustained by a faithful adherence to the interests of his landlord, during the suit pending between himself and Mr. RODD, of Trebartha Hall, relative to the lordship of the manor of Treveague. ARRIVAL AT QUEBEC - By the last accounts from Quebec, we find that the "Roslin Castle" had arrived there after a most excellent passage from Plymouth. The passengers, who were all landed in good health, speak in the highest terms of Captain MONDAY, and the ship. CAUTION TO OSTLERS - At the Trecan Gate Petty Sessions, on the 4th instant, THOMAS GLANVILLE and GEORGE GLANVILLE, brothers, the former the ferryman, and ostler at the Ferry Inn, at Bodinnoc, by Fowey, and the latter a farmer of the parish of St. Winnow, were summoned by WILLIAM CRART, proprietor of an omnibus, travelling from Torpoint to Fowey, for stealing a quantity of beans and oats. It appears that from some information given to Mr. Crart, and the fact of the horses of George Glanville being frequently at Bodinnoc, when Mr. Crart's omnibus arrived, and kept for some time in the stable with his, that suspicions were excited, and on reaching Bodinnoc with the omnibus and horses on Thursday the 15th, he was on the alert. As before, the corn and beans which were provided by Mr. Crart for his own horses, were placed in a sack in the stable. Thomas Glanville was in attendance as ostler as usual, when Mr. Crart suspecting all was not right, endeavoured to go into the stable, but was met in the door way by the two Glanvilles, who kept him in conversation for some time, during which the horse of George Glanville (or one which he brought there belonging to his father) was feeding in one of the stalls. Crart subsequently pretended to leave, and on returning almost immediately afterwards found the Glanvilles coming out with the horse, upon which he went into the stall whence the horse had been removed and found in the manger a quantity of beans with some oats, which exactly corresponded with the sample in his sack. Several witnesses were examined in support of the complaint. The bench, after a patient hearing of several hours, found both accused guilty, and sentenced them to one month's imprisonment each with hard labour. Mr. BISHOP appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. W. J. SOBEY for the prisoner. TRURO POLICE - On Wednesday last, ELIZA TRAER, was charged before Mr. PADDON, magistrate, with stealing two silver spoons, value 8s., the property of JOSEPH TONKIN, butcher, Bridge Street, Truro. In February last, Eliza Traer was employed at the house of Mr. TONKIN, and one day Mrs. Tonkin missed two spoons. Nothing further was known about them until Tuesday last, when Traer offered them in pledge at Mrs. JAMES's, pawnbroker, Calenick Street. Mrs. James had received information, and seeing initials on the spoons, she detained them and acquainted the police, who apprehended Traer. The spoons were then identified by Mrs. Tonkin, and the prisoner was committed for trial. BURGLARIES AT FALMOUTH BY TICKET-OF-LEAVE MEN - In our paper of the 30th ult., we gave an account of burglaries perpetrated at Falmouth, in the house of Capt. HILL, R.N., Woodlane Terrace, and in the house of Mrs. RYAN, Berkeley Vale. A quantity of plate, spoons, and other articles were stolen on the occasion referred to Superintendent JULYAN, of the Falmouth police, communicated with Mr. NASH, police-superintendent at Truro, and efforts were made to discover the robbers. Suspicion fell upon two brothers, called JOSEPH and JOHN BASSET, who formerly lived in the parish of Falmouth, and whose father now lives at Truro. It was ascertained that the two Bassets had been seen, on the morning of the 26th [?] ult. soon after the robberies, on the road between Falmouth and Truro; and a few days after, some silver articles were offered for sale at Plymouth, at Mrs. REYNOLDS's, jeweller. One man entered the shop and offered the articles, whilst another stood outside. The shopman Mr. E. BROWN, had suspicion that the things were stolen, and in consequence detained them, and sent for the police. Through some mishap, it was twenty minutes before the policeman arrived, and in the interim the man in the shop held up his fist against Brown, and demanded the plate to be given back to him. Finding he could not obtain it, he made off, and was out of sight when the police came. Information having previously been sent to the Plymouth police, they now forwarded to the superintendent at Falmouth a description of the man who had offered the articles for sale at Plymouth. Nothing more was seen of him and his companion until between twelve and one o'clock in the morning of the 4th instant, when Mr. NASH and police constable PAPPIN, being on the watch at Truro, saw Joseph and John Basset enter the town, coming by way of the High Cross and King Street, and entering their father's house in Blee's Court, Boscawen Street. They went in after them and took them into custody. At the police station, the prisoners said they were ticket-of-leave men, but when asked by Mr. Nash, they failed to produce their licence. He found in their possession a paper bag, marked "Furniss St. Austell," which had contained biscuits, and he thus traced that they had come through St. Austell. They were taken before the Mayor on Wednesday morning, and remanded on suspicion. Mr. Nash then communicated with Mr. JULYAN, and in consequence the shopman at Plymouth was sent for, and on arriving at Truro, identified the Bassets as the men who were in company, and offered the articles for sale. They have since been conveyed to Falmouth, when the evidence against them is to be heard by the magistrates on Friday. It appears that the two Bassets were convicted of burglary at Falmouth, on the 4th of April, 1853, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. They were liberated from Portland prison on a ticket-of-leave, on the 14th of May, 1856, so that only ten days intervened before they recommenced their former career of crime. A JUVENILE ROGUE - A few days ago, a boy called STANLEY, son of MATTHEW STANLEY, labourer, who had been employed by Mr. HENDY, of Trethurffe [?], Ladock, went into a field, and on returning said he had found in the river two dozen white-handled forks. He told his father of this, and other people. Mr. Hendy, however, subsequently discovered that he had lost forks of that description, and the boy, on being questioned, confessed that he had stolen them. DISGRACEFUL SCENE IN ST. AUSTELL MARKET - On Friday last, two women, one called COUCH, of Roche, and the other SEARLE, of St. Mewan, between whom some jealousy had arisen, met in the market house, when the latter went up and gave the former a blow in the face, which she returned, and they then attached each other's bonnets, and a battle ensued, but Couch was too good a match for her antagonist, who soon found herself floored and but for the timely arrival of the police, worse consequences might have happened. ACCIDENT AT WHEAL SETON - On Wednesday the 4th instant, two men, named JAMES PRISK and THOMAS RULE, working in one of the levels in Wheal Seton, fired a hole and it appears the fuse missed fire to the charge. They waited about a quarter of an hour, and then proceeded to pick out the charge, when in doing so it suddenly exploded. Rule was severely injured in both eyes, and Prisk, in addition to both eyes being severely burnt, had received such injury to his left hand that it was requisite to amputate it at the wrist the same evening. They were promptly attended by Messrs. HUTCHINSON and JAMES, and are both going on favourably. CORONERS' INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner:- On the 5th instant, at the White Hart Inn, Truro, on the body of ELIZABETH TIPPETT, aged three months, who was found dead in bed, by her mother when she awoke that morning. Mr. LEVERTON, surgeon, was of opinion that the deceased had died from want of sufficient air to support respiration, in consequence of being too closely covered with bed cloths; and the jury returned a verdict accordingly. On Monday last, at Trehaddle, in the parish of Gwennap, on the body of TABITHA TAYLOR, widow, aged 64 years, who died by the side of the road as she was returning home from St. Day market last Saturday afternoon. The deceased had been a remarkably healthy person all her life, and it appeared that after finishing her work on Saturday, she went to St. Day market to make a few purchases, apparently in her usual health. On her way home about five o'clock, she complained of feeling very sick, and sat down by the side of the road, when two women who were passing saw her. One of them remarked she was looking very yellow as if she had the jaundice, and whilst they were talking about the best remedy for that complaint she suddenly expired. The jury after hearing the evidence of Mr. G. MICHELL, surgeon, St. Day, returned a verdict of death from apoplexy. The following inquests have been held before Mr. HICHENS, county coroner:- On the 9th instant, at Leeds Town, in the parish of Crowan, on the body of JOHN JENKIN, the younger, aged about eight years. The deceased, on Friday last, accompanied his brother, EDWARD POOLEY JENKIN (who is a butcher), to the market at Wendron Churchtown, and from thence at Porkellis, in the same parish, and left the latter place to return home between ten and eleven o'clock at night in a light one horse cart which the brother drove. The deceased was lying in the bottom of the car on the near side, and when near to Praze-an-beeble, and as the horse was trotting at, as the brother supposed, about six miles per hour, the further wheel passed over a rock or stone, lifting the wheel from six to eight inches from the ground. The brother did not for a moment suppose that anything had happened to the deceased from the jerk, but on looking round shortly after he found him wanting. He immediately stopped the cart, and went in search of him, and found him lying in the road about twelve paces from the spot where the car had passed over the stone. When taken up, he was speechless and senseless, and was bleeding profusely from injuries to his head. He was carried to Mr. POOLEY's Inn at Praze, where he died very shortly after. Verdict, "accidental death." On the 11th, at the Lizard, in the parish of Landewednack, on the body of RICHARD JOSE, aged about four years. The deceased was playing with a neighbour's child of about the same age on Monday last, the former dipping up water from a well and bringing it to the other who was wetting earth with it in a pit, which they had dug in their play. The deceased went to the well for more water, and not returning to his companion, the other little boy went after him, and found him in the well. He thereupon ran to his father and told him of it, who with all speed went to the well and took the deceased out; life however was extinct, and though means were used to endeavour to resuscitate the child, they were unavailing. Verdict, "accidental death." PADSTOW PEACE DEMONSTRATION - Thursday the 5th instant was held as a general holiday to celebrate the event of the close of the Russian war, and the shops were closed throughout the day. At break of day the gladdened inhabitants were engaged in the erection of tasteful arches accompanied with appropriate mottoes. At one o'clock the respectable tradesmen and merchants partook of an excellent dinner in Broad Street, after which a procession was formed, headed by the Cornwall Militia Band in uniform, followed by two brave tars from the Baltic, attired in the Baltic costume, bearing the British Royal Standard and the French tricolour, followed by the Coast Guard in uniform. After parading the town, they returned to Duke, Middle, and Church Streets, where upwards of 1,000 took tea, among whom were 350 children of the three Sunday schools, and 200 of the aged inhabitants, who were admitted with free tickets, a few of them having now seen three celebrations of peace. The great focus of attraction was an emblem of peace at the head of Middle Street, - a full length figure, representing a French general in uniform, with his arms folded, his sword sheathed, - and by his side a Russian musket and bayonet, taken at Sebastopol, and at his fee a shell from the heights of Alma, wearing a sash with motto "a world united," and over his head suspended the word "peace." The evening was occupied in a street dance, in which all classes united. As night came on, a grand and general illumination delighted all, in which each tried to outvie the other in taste and elegance. There was a magnificent display of fireworks, and midnight closed the pleasures of this day, ever to be remembered as truly emblematical of the glorious event it was held to celebrate. The assemblage of people was upwards of five thousand, and all was in harmony and peace. There was also a dance in the street on Friday night. CORNWALL COUNTY COURTS - Bodmin - In the insolvency case of ABRAHAM CLARKSON, the insolvent came up on an adjourned hearing. He was supported by Mr. T. COMMINS, and opposed by Mr. WALLIS. The evidence of Mr. GEORGE RITSON having been heard, who spoke of the transaction between insolvent and his brother, relative to the sub-contract of insolvent on the railway; and also insolvent's son Mr. Wallis contended that insolvent's accounts were not satisfactory, and he asked for an adjournment of the case till next court, which was granted accordingly. In the case of JOHN NORMAN, the insolvent, who had been imprisoned since November last, for want of funds to pay his attorney, applied for his discharge under the act. He was described as a commission agent, lately residing at Egloshayle. Mr. MILES, the detaining creditor, of Regent Street, London, did not oppose, and the court declared insolvent entitled to the benefit of the act. TRURO - The following was of importance as affecting a dispute about the tolls at St. Mawes. St. Mawes Pier and harbour Company v. BENNETTS; same v. HODGE. These were actions by the Company, to recover the amount of dues imposed by their Act of Parliament, on certain goods landed on St. Mawes Quay. It appeared that the quay at St. Mawes being in ruins, and this being the cause of great inconvenience and danger to the inhabitants and persons frequenting the port, a company was formed who in 1854, obtained an Act of Parliament authorising them to rebuild the quay and then charge certain tolls on shipping and goods, for the purpose of keeping the fabric in repair and paying current expenses and interest upon the outlay. The quay was accordingly rebuilt, and the dues were generally paid without difficulty. But the present defendants refused to do so. Mr. CHILCOTT, for the plaintiffs, having proved the landing of the articles; Mr. MOORMAN, for the defendants, raised a series of technical objections. After a considerable time was occupied in argument upon them, his Honor overruled them all, and, as there were no witnesses for the defence, made orders in favour of the company. Mr. Moorman however, still urging his objections, his Honor said his opinion was against them, and he should not alter the orders; but if he should have any reason to change his opinion by the next sittings, he would then mention it. In the case of RICHARD THOMAS v. JOHN JAMES - a claim for GBP2. 13s. 3d., the defendant was committed for thirty days for non-appearance on summons. There were the following three cases of insolvency:- JOHN TRUSCOTT, agricultural implement maker, &c., Truro. The amount of debts exceeding GBP300, the case was beyond the jurisdiction of the court, and consequently the petition was dismissed. JAMES REED, agricultural implement maker, &c., Truro, and EDWARD PENNA, tailor, &c., Truro, severally passed their first examination, and were ordered to appear on the 4th of July for final order. Penzance - In the case of ARTHUR ROSEWALL, v. JOHN HUTHNANCE, the plaintiff, a farmer, sought to recover from the defendant, who is a miner, the sum of GBP10 for assaulting him at St. Ives, in March last. The case was adjourned for the attendance of Mr. ROSEWALL, surgeon, to prove whether the cut was caused by a stone or the hand. EXETER DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY - Thursday, June 5. Re: GILL and EDE, builders, of Launceston. A dividend on the estate of these bankrupts of 6s. in the GBP was declared. Re: EMERSON, Chemical Works, Trereiffe. This was a sitting for certificate. The bankrupt was supported by Mr. STOGDON, and unopposed. The Official Assignee (Mr. HIRTZEL) read the following report:- The bankrupt's balance sheet commenced on the 13th of September, 1851, and extended over a period of four years and five months. In September 1851 the bankrupt shews a balance in his favour GBP660. 2s., and the grater part of this balance is composed of a debt due from Mr. SPILSBURY, which debt with considerable additions still remains due, and now forms the chief asset in the bankrupt's estate. The profits are stated to be sale of 16-32nd shares in Spilsbury patent, GBP4,910, premium received with an apprentice, GBP100, together GBP5,010, and GBP223. 18s. 8d. was entered for an accumulation of interest on a debt due to the estate, for which credit is taken in the debtor's list. The trade expenses are GBP3,963. 11s. 5d.; the household expenses, GBP624. 6s. 2d.; total, GBP4,587. 17s. 7d. The trade expenses contained entries of payments for life insurance, GBP147. 15s.; travelling expenses, &c., GBP1,404. 1s. 5d.; interest paid and owing, GBP1,143. 16s. 9d.; law costs, GBP838. 4s. The household expenses are calculated at a moderate rate. In addition to the expenses are losses on chemical works, GBP2,041. 18s. 0d.; on ditto, GBP1,881. 0s. 3d.; on Mines, GBP2,843. 3s. 4d.; total, GBP6,766. 1s. 7d. The credits on mortgage are GBP5,283. 7s. 1d., and property mortgaged, valued at GBP3,500. The unsecured debts are GBP7,554. 8s. 7d.; and the assets and book debts called good, GBP1,435. 2s. 11d. This forms, as before mentioned, the chief asset in the estate, but it is of an exceedingly doubtful character. A considerable portion of the property valued in GBP532. 19s. 7d. is of a similar description. I have received the proceeds of the furniture and stock amounting to GBP134. 2s. 8d., the chief available asset in the estate. The causes assigned for bankruptcy are "Want of capital to bring patents and mines into productive working; pressure of the money market, which caused the bank to raise their discount, and inability to get capitalists to carry out the patents and mines." Mr. Stogdon said the bankrupt had come into this court with a view of making his estate yield as much as possible to his creditors. He had laboured long and arduously to bring a certain article to perfection, but as yet that labour had yielded but little fruit. The scheme proposed, however, was considered by those competent to give an opinion a most valuable one. The article he was engaged in producing was one of such universal use that it would warrant him in using a great deal of pains and expense about it, and if he should happen to hit the mark, it would be a source of great profit to him afterwards. As a proof that the invention was of value, he would state that one of the creditors for money lent, and who had opposed the bankrupt at the outset, had, now that he had got possession of Mr. Emerson's works, withdrawn that opposition. His Honor said he saw a charge of GBP1,400 for travelling expenses, and asked how it was incurred. The Bankrupt relied that he had travelled in various parts of the country in search of articles to be used in his manufactory. His Honor said that in this case a great deal of money had been spent in speculation, and the question was, whether the business was begun with a reasonable expectation of success. Under the circumstance he should have no hesitation in giving him a first class certificate. Mr. Stogdon said that it had depended on his Honor's decision whether the Bankrupt should get a very valuable situation which he was in treaty about. Of course the situation was now secure to him. He had not mentioned this circumstance before, because it should not in any way influence the Commissioner's decision.

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday, 6th June, 1856. AUSTRALIA - DISCOVERY OF RICH GOLD DIGGINGS. - That the gold fields in New South Wales have never yet had a fair trial is a fact beyond dispute; the splendid find of Mr. WHITE and his companions on the Ophir, at Yorkey's Corner, induces us to believe that, ere long, our gold mines will rival for riches the most favourable fields in Victoria. On the 18th ult. we mentioned the arrival in town of a party of three, who brought with them as the result of three weeks' labour, 406 oz. 12 dwts. Of the precious metal, principally in nuggets, the largest weighing 2 1/2 ounces, another 13 ounces, and other two the respective weights of which were 10 1/2 ounces and 11 ounces. After minutely describing to our reporter the locality selected for their operations, Mr. White says that he and his mates set to work and dug for about three days, first through a red alluvial oil, then a thick layer of gravelly earth, coming next to slate and rock, where traces of gold were first observed. On the sixth day, after breaking ground, the party lighted on the largest nugget, which was extracted from rock; and that same day they took out 91 ounces of gold altogether. The daily findings were - first day, after coming to the slatey rock, 6 ounces; second, 54 ounces; third, 78 ounces; sixth, 91 ounces. From that time the yield fell suddenly, until the hole was abandoned. The area of ground from which this rich treasure was extracted measured 25 square feet. - Australian Paper. INCIDENTS OF COLONIAL LIFE - A young gentleman of Geelong, Australia, writing to a relative at home, under date of January, 1856, says:- One peculiarity of Colonial life, or at least of life in the colony of Victoria is this, that many carpenters, blacksmiths, and the like, have made large fortunes, but still retain their old acquaintances, and cannot sake off their bad grammar and worse manners. This produces a great mixture in society, and the woman who scrubs your floors in the morning, and also makes your pies and starches your shirts, may say to you in the evening "I am engaged," or "thank you, I will take an ice." Among his neighbours, he says, "is a widow of 24, was married at 16 to a small settler up the country, who broke his neck, stock-driving, seven months after their marriage. A few months ago she was engaged to a young solicitor from Bristol. The wedding clothes were got, and the handkerchiefs were marked with her future's name. The young man was dissipated, and ran away from his creditors three days before his intended marriage. The whole story is an odd one. He, the solicitor, met the widow in the street, was struck with the appearance and followed her home; dodged about the house for a few days, and at length threw a letter, declaring the state of his affections, into a room where he had just before seen her standing at the window. The affair proceeded rapidly after so bold a stroke, and but for the cruelty of the young gentleman's creditors, no doubt they would have been man and wife." I had invitations from different persons to spend my Christmas at their stations in the bush. But I had had sufficient experience of that kind of thing to know, that three or four days of Christmas spent with a settler would settle me for a fortnight, and I therefore stopped at home, and this is the way my Christmas went. My Irish neighbours (with whom he boards while lodging in weather boarded rooms of his own) considered it better to keep up Christmas eve than Christmas day, and the young widow aforesaid, her sister, and four others came up to dance, sing, eat cake and drink strong punch. We commenced at ten, and, so far as I was concerned, left off at three next morning, when I went to bed. Getting up at eight, I found my young widow busy stuffing a goose, and the others culinarily employed, and, much to my surprise, I learnt that none of them had been to bed. For, intending to go to mass on Christmas day, after the manner, I suppose, of the Irish, they had been afraid to go to bed lest they should miss it - mass commencing at five in the morning - and had kept themselves dancing and romping all through the night. Well, I breakfasted, and in order the better to enjoy my dinner, I took a long walk, returning about two, thinking we were to have a downright Christmas dinner. Christmas eve, however, had been too much for my neighbours. They were all sound asleep, except the little ones, and the consequence was that I sat down alone before a huge goose, a boiled turkey, a large ham, and a vast plum pudding. At public dinners there is usually a band in attendance; on the present occasion the music that I had was such as is caused by the loud breathing of persons asleep. That was my first specimen of an Irish Christmas; and remarkably Irish I consider it to be. PEACE CELEBRATIONS - Truro - On Tuesday evening last, a meeting of the inhabitants was held in the Town Hall, and numerously attended, for the purpose of presenting an address to the Mayor, Mr. STOKES, thanking him for his conduct in carrying out the peace demonstration on the 29th ult. The chair was taken by Mr. PADDON, one of the borough magistrates, who introduced the subject of the meeting, and the following address was then read by Mr. EDWIN PARKYN:- "To HENRY SEWELL STOKES, Esq., Mayor of Truro. - Sir, We, the undersigned inhabitants of the borough of Truro, do hereby offer you our best thanks for the manner in which the peace demonstration of yesterday was, under your authority, conducted, and beg to express our admiration at your patriotic and manly conduct, first, in permitting us to show our feeling on the occasion, and secondly, for your countenance and support in reviving one of our ancient and athletic English sports, especially as the game, as requested by you, was conducted throughout with good temper, and without injury to any kind of property. And, lastly, we thank you for having been the principal cause of cheering the hearts and spirits of the defenders of our country, and of our old men and women, and young children, by not forgetting them on the happy occasion of celebrating the peace. We are, Sir, your obedient servants". (Here followed the signatures, the address being dated May 30th). Mr. PARKYN said the address was signed by between two and three hundred of the inhabitants of the town, and a great many more signatures might easily have been obtained, but the object was to have the address signed by people of the various classes in the town, and thus there would be found included amongst the names representatives of the clergy, dissenting ministers, county and borough magistrates, the professions, trades, and even one or two of the old men who partook of the hospitalities on the celebration day. Mr. JAMES GATLEY proposed that the address which had been adopted, should be printed and a copy of it sent to each subscriber to the peace demonstration fund. Mr. SOLOMON seconded the motion, adding that it should be presented first to the subscribers, and then to other persons. Mr. G. CLYMA proposed that some more enduring recognition of Mr. Stokes's public services should be presented to him, and that a committee be formed to consider in what way the wishes of the meeting could best be carried out. Mr. E. HEARD seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. MITCHINSON and Mr. DAVEY, the latter making some observations to show that the way to preserve peace was to be prepared for war; and some remarks in approval of the hurling match. The propositions both of Mr. Gatley and Mr. Clyma were agreed to unanimously. Mr. LEARWOOD, chairmaker, then presented a chair to Mr. Stokes, which had been made whilst the procession of the trades were traversing the various parts of the town. It was a very good chair, of neat workmanship, and bore the following inscription,- "This chair was made by THOMAS LEARWOOD, in the streets of Truro, in the Trades' procession that was formed to celebrate the peace, on the 29th of May, 1856, and presented to Mr. Stokes, Mayor of Truro. PENRYN - The celebration of her Majesty's birthday, and the rejoicings for peace in this borough, were sustained with very great spirit, and much praise is due to the authorities for the manner in which they ordered the proceedings, and to the inhabitants generally for the way in which they carried them out. It was a remarkably fine day, and a glorious sun shone out propitiously for the occasion. The shops were all closed early in the day, and flags were hung out in various parts of the town. Great numbers of people kept arriving from the adjacent country during the day, and everything bore the aspect of a general holiday and rejoicing. The proceedings were ushered in by a solute of twenty-one brass guns, and then through the benevolent exertions of some of the inhabitants, about five hundred of the poorer class were provided with cakes and tea, presented to them at the Town Hall, by a committee appointed for that purpose. Several old English games followed, all of which were entered into with great spirit, and afforded much amusement. Processions also took place through the town; the one most deserving of attention being that formed by the workmen of Messrs. BOLITHO, about eighty of whom having previously been provided with a substantial luncheon by the liberality of their employers, formed themselves into a procession headed by a band of music paraded the town, each person carrying an implement more particularly belonging to his branch of the trade, and which was in many cases wreathed in laurel. A brilliant display of fireworks terminated the proceedings of the day, which will long be remembered by the inhabitants of Penryn and its vicinity with satisfaction and pleasure. MICHELL - This usually quite village was quite astir on Friday last, on account of preparations being made to celebrate the peace. At an early hour, the young men of the place were busily engaged erecting arches across the road, which then completed were tastefully decorated with flags, flowers &c. In the course of the afternoon a band perambulated the place, to whose lively strains the young folks danced the exciting "Flora." In the evening the youngsters were gratified with sundry amusements, such as "jumping in bags," a wheelbarrow race," "diving for oranges" &c., and a very creditable display of fireworks completed the day's amusement. At night most of the houses were illuminated, and although the devices could not be considered as new or original, the village presented a very pretty appearance. From one of the arches was suspended a large chandelier in which were lighted about fifty candles, and this looked exceedingly well. Notwithstanding the hundreds of people who were present in the evening, everything passed off orderly and with good feeling. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE - ARCHDEACONRY OF CORNWALL - The Deans Rural for 1856-7 are:- JOHN SYMONS AVERY, perpetual curate of Bude; JOHN FRANCIS KITSON, vicar of Antony; PAUL BUSH, rector of Duloe; EDWARD SHUTTLEWORTH, vicar of Egloshayle; CHARLES LYNE, vicar of Tywardreath; THOMAS HOPKINS BRITTON, vicar of Newlyn East; FREDERICK CHRISTIAN JACKSON, rector of Grade; and CHARLES GEORGE RUDDOCK FESTING, vicar of Paul. The seven preachers for 1857 are:- JOHN DAVIS, vicar of Poughill; JOHN HAWKINS HEXT, vicar of Morval; JOHN JAMES WILKINSON, rector of Lanteglos by Camelford; HENRY SPENCER SLIGHT, rector of Ruanlanihorne; F. C. JACKSON, rector of Grade; and RICHARD ASHLEY, rector of Perranuthnoe. The sixteen representatives for the Clergy Fund are the same as last year. THE CUSTOMS - Mr. WILLIAM COULSON, of Penzance, has been appointed to a clerkship in the London Custom House. ARRIVAL AT QUEBEC - The ship "Charles Challoner," FOX master, with passengers from Truro, arrived at Quebec, on the 19th of May, all well. FALMOUTH - Arrived on Sunday last, the gun-boats "Starling," "Beaver," "Janus," and "Drake," belonging to the Red and White Divisions. Six gun-boats and the steam frigate "Imperieuse," have been cruising in the channel during the past week. The fleet are on an experimental cruise to try the rate of sailing under canvas. On Tuesday last, the schooner yacht "Columbine," 72 tons belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron, and the property of Mr. SMITHBERRY, arrived in the harbour. SHIP FOUNDERED - On Saturday last, the master and nine men, crew of the barque "Kingston" of Sunderland, WILLIAM STRAKERMASTER, were picked up in two boats twenty four miles S. W. of the Land's End, by a Mousehole pilot lugger, their ship having sprung a leak the previous evening and foundered at 6.30 on the 31st. Fortunately the crew saved their cloths. The "Kingston" was 279 tons registered 28 years old, was newly coppered, and had heavy repairs previous to leaving Sunderland, and was bound to Constantinople with 448 tons of coal. The crew were lodged and forwarded to their homes by Mr. R. PEARCE, Honorary Secretary to the shipwrecked Fisherman and mariners' Royal Benevolent Society. OBSTRUCTIONS OF THE PAVEMENTS - We are requested to insert the following in respect to street obstructions at Penzance:- "Mr. HUMPHRY WILLYAMS, in a letter to the West Briton on street obstructions, states his objection to the "move on" principle, as an unnecessary interference with the rights of the people. He considers that it would give rise to some such remarks as these:- "Oh! we won't go to Truro market again, for we can't stand five minutes on the pavement to look at the beautiful streets, smart shops, and gay people without danger of being brought before the Mayor. We'll go to Penzance or Redruth, where we can stand as thick as swarming bees, without being disturbed." Mr. Willyams's argument is altogether imaginary. The 'stand still' principle once prevailed in Penzance, but was such a nuisance that "move on" antagonism was effectually brought to bear on it. Shopkeepers, and all who traverse the pavement, approved of it; and, unless on holiday occasions, we permit no swarming bees to remain undisturbed in our thoroughfares. Let Mr. Willyams and thirty or forty friends try the "bee" amusement, and they will quickly hear the words which displease him so much - "move on" - respectfully but firmly uttered. ROBBERIES - A cottage adjoining Liskes farm, in the parish of Kenwyn, was entered on Monday last, during the absence of the occupier, JANE WALLIS, who left the house in the morning and did not return until the evening. She then found that the door had been forced open, and her boxes ransacked, and from one of them a sovereign and ten shillings had been stolen. Two tramps were seen near the premises in the course of the day. On the 30th ult. at Idless, in the parish of Kenwyn, the house of THOMAS MICHELL, a woodman, was entered by means of breaking a pane of glass, and six GBP5 notes of the Miners Bank were stolen. It is stated that two tramping fellows had been seen about the premises. BURGLARY - Shortly after midnight on Monday last, the servant at Mr. JEFFERY's, (who is in the employ of Messrs. WILLIAMS, at Perranwharf, and lives under the same roof with the office) came down stairs to go about the washing, when she saw through some glass over a door, a light in the passage, and thinking her mistress had come down stairs, she called out, but received no answer, and consequently went up to her mistress's bed room, whom she found in bed, and then, being much alarmed, told her that some person had entered the house. Mr. Jeffery went down immediately, but the robber had decamped. It was found, on examination, that some one had entered the office by the window, which being a casement window, the thief had broken a pane of glass, and put back the two fastenings. The thief had gone from the office into the kitchen, and lighted with matches a mould candle, with which he had traversed all the rooms of the office and ground floor of the dwelling-house, as was evident from the grease which had dropped from the candle. The whole candle had been left on the table the evening before, and it was three-quarters burnt. The robber, it is clear, was not provided with house-breaking implements; therefore he did not touch the iron chest or the desks in the office; but from the parlour mantelpiece he stole 12s. or 13s. which had been collected for a missionary box, and he also carried off some mathematical instruments, but did not go to the parlour cupboard, in which were a number of silver spoons and other articles. The box which had contained the mathematical instruments was found next day in the leat behind the foundry works, but there is no clue to the thief. It is remarked as singular that the glass of the broken window was found outside, and not inside as might have been expected. TRURO POLICE - On Tuesday last, JAMES ADAMS, who had been a private in the Royal Miners Artillery, was charged with stealing from FREDERICK MONTROSE, a black coat, doeskin trowsers, waistcoat, and cap. Montrose, who is a tailor, lodged with Mrs. KENNEGGIE, who sells fruit in the market. The militia-man got into the house on Wednesday the 28th ult., and took the tailor's best clothes, leaving behind his militia uniform. Montrose gave information to the police, and Adams was traced to Falmouth; afterwards, he went to Penzance, then returned to Truro, and on Saturday night last, gave himself up to police constable WOOLCOCK in the street. He was then wearing Montrose's clothes, with the exception of the waistcoat, of which he gave an account, which afterwards proved to be false. On Tuesday he was committed for trial at the quarter sessions. ST. AUSTELL PETTY SESSIONS - This court met in the Town Hall, on Tuesday last, when ROBERT VERCOE, a waggoner, of St. Dennis, was fined 5s. and costs for leaving his waggon in the streets. GEORGE CLEMES [?], of Charlestown, was brought up by Mr. ROWE, the inspector of weights, for having a defective scale in his possession, and was fined 20s. and costs. Tow landlords of Nanpean, in St. Stephens in Branwell, named BEST and THOMAS, were brought up, the former charged with keeping a disorderly house, but the bench dismissed the accused with a reprimand; the latter, charged with drawing drink on the Sunday out of hours, was fined 2s. and costs. A lad named HENRY BENNET, of Roche, was charged by his master, Mr. ROBERT VERCOE, carpenter, with misbehaviour and absenting himself from work, and it being the second offence, he was committed to the house of correction for twenty-one days. CORONER'S INQUEST - On Wednesday last, an inquest was held in Gwennap parish, before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner, on the body of FRANCIS COAD, miner, aged 58 years. From the evidence of deceased's widow, it appeared that he had been complaining of shortness on his breath for some time previous to his decease, but that on Monday last, he came down about eight o'clock, and went out after breakfast apparently better then usual. He desired her to make a pasty for his dinner, and said he should be back again by the time it was ready, but about an hour afterwards witness went out and found him a short distance from the house leaning against the hedge quite dead. There was a quantity of blood on his clothes and about his moth, and from the evidence of Mr. ARTHUR, surgeon, there was no doubt that he died of suffocation from the rupture of a blood vessel of the lungs. Verdict accordingly.

Hi, I have forgotten how the ages were recorded in the 1841 census. I think there was something about 5 in the calculation. Either up or down to the nearest increment of 5? If this is so, if a child was one year old would it have been rounded up to 6? I am having trouble with a child in that census (not in Cornwall where there are other sources to check). Any help appreciated. You are a great group. Carolyn Haines Holt, Michigan 48842

Hello Joanne and Mary,   The middle part of the jigsaw is beginning to be filled .   The question of CAMMER TACKNOTT seems to have been resolved by the suggestion that it was CAMBORNE TUCKING MILL.........Tuckingmill was a village in the Parish of Illogan where Emanuel BLIGHT was born and I am more than convinced that this is the right answer.   His marriage and death also remain something of a question mark, if only that in 1882 according to a newspaper there was already an Elizabeth BLIGHT.   This could have been that his future wife, nee BROFEY, and he were already living together and she was calling herself Elizabeth BLIGHT for respectability purposes!!   Thank you both for all the details.......the mystery of Emanuel BLIGHT is being unravelled.   For now,   Tony From: M Hester <mhester@tiscali.co.uk> To: 'JCM' <JCM2006@sympatico.ca>; cornish@rootsweb.com; 'Tony Cocks' <tonycocks1@yahoo.com> Sent: Sunday, 22 July 2012, 19:50 Subject: RE: [CORNISH] Emanuel (Manuel) BLIGHT, Born 1843/1846 Hi It looks like he got married in Hospital and that she died not long after him : Australia Marriage Index, 1788-1950 about Emanuel Blight Name:    Emanuel Blight Father's Name:    William Blight Spouse Name:    Elizabeth Brofey Spouse's Father's Name:    John Brofey Marriage Date:    4 Sep 1886 Marriage Place:    Hospital Burra Registration Place:    Burra, South Australia Page Number:    704 Volume Number:    148 Australia Death Index, 1787-1985 about Elizabeth Blight Name:    Elizabeth Blight Death Date:    29 Nov 1886 Death Place:    Kooringa Age:    44 Residence Place:    Kooringa Registration Place:    Burra, South Australia Page Number:    163 Volume Number:    159 Estimated Birth Year:    abt 1842 There is also a Death for an  Emanuel J Blight in NSW in 1918 Mary -----Original Message----- From: cornish-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cornish-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of JCM Sent: 22 July, 2012 6:07 PM To: Tony Cocks; cornish@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CORNISH] Emanuel (Manuel) BLIGHT, Born 1843/1846 Hi Tony, There is a death notice in South Australia 1887 for a fellow who generally fits your elusive Emmanuel BLIGHT.

Hullo Tony I have not done any studies on convicts but could Emanuel have been deported? They were coming to Australia around that time, some from Parkhurst.

Hello Pat,    Thanks for responding......   I am actually a mature Postgraduate researching for a PhD on Parkhurst Prison 1838-1864 and juvenile offenders, one of whom was Emanuel BLIGHT.   By 1864 only WA was taking transportees and I have checked the Fremantle Prison website and no entry, although after he went to Dartmoor Prison he had just 4 months of his sentence to serve and would not have been transported.   And of course he did not re-offend.   What happened to him after Dartmoor is a complete mystery!!   Take care,   Tony From: Pat Banks <tencreek@tpg.com.au> To: Tony Cocks <tonycocks1@yahoo.com>; cornish@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, 20 July 2012, 15:33 Subject: Re: [CORNISH] Emanuel (Manuel) BLIGHT, Born 1843/1846 Hullo Tony I have not done any studies on convicts but could Emanuel have been deported?  They were coming to Australia around that time, some from Parkhurst.
