Since people are submitting great links for Cornish research, thought I'd mention this: http://www.chinaclayhistory.org.uk If one clicks on "Collections", then "Photographs", there are some great images - including one of a beautiful horse all decked out for St. Stephen's Carnival. There are also mentions of publications, etc - which are for sale. Cheers, Julia

Safe harbours to the always generous and knowledgeable Susan and deepest sympathy to her family. Chris Uphill Perth West Australia

Many thanks Lorena, You did a great job on a very long and wordy piece. I for one, am totally amazed at the dedication and skills of the many transcribers. I feel quite deprived if there is a week without a Cornish paper to read! Thanks to all for giving up your time. Carolyn in NZ.

Well list here I go again on the Stevens line, but this time with some solid leads. I know Susan Olds helped with the various lines as well as others on list. As a refresher my line via family Bible is John Stevens born 20 Oct 1797, wife Elizabeth born 16 June 1798, plus a list of their children and birth dates. It wasn't until I located John and family in the 1851 census in Lelant Village, Uny Lelant which lists John as being born in Zennor and Elizabeth in Gwennap that I made any progress. Following the Gwennap lead & looking for any Elizabeth baptised after 16 June 1798 I found an Elizabeth Neol/Noall christened 1 July 1798 the daughter of Richard Noel/Noall and Ann Francis. Then I found a marriage record of John Stevens 30 September 1820 to Elizabeth Noel/Noall. After the family left Gwennap area they lived at Splattenridden, Uny Lelant. So am reaching out to any Stevens and/or Noel/Noall lines in the Gwennap area, one area listed was Crofthardy. Much more research to do but at least now another John and Elizabeth Stevens are identified. RIP Susan and thanks for all your help. Rita Bone Kopp, OPC St Stephen in Brannel and St Mewan

Thanks for your patience, Lorena (from many > Cornish lines) The pound-sign came through loud and clear on my Mac (OS 10.4.11), but may not do the same on a Wintel machine. I always find the GBP notation annoying (especially as it is only called that in the standard international banking system, introduced around 20 years or so ago, and is therefore anachronistic. I have found that even e- mails from Mac users give funny results on my Mac after passing through servers on other platforms, but then computing is a horrifyingly inexact science!

Thank you, Lorena and all the other transcribers, this is such valuable work and I really look forward to the transcriptions which paint such a picture in my mind of those times so long ago. Warm wishes, Joan

Thanks for the lovely comments! I think I have to manually sort and replace hyphens, apostrophes, quotes and the ubiquitous GBP symbols as they all came through as question marks still. Let's see if I can get it down for next week's news. It's a real pleasure to connect with folks and to read (and type) (o; the old news. I love the language differences and of course can't stop spelling things in british english now. Cheers! and KiaOra to the NZ crew.

Please pass on my condolences to Susan's family. I never knew her personally, only through my genealogy and I always found her very helpful and friendly and always seemed to go that extra little bit for you. The World has lost a beautiful person and genealogy has lost a true champion. Many tender memories soften you grief, May fond recollections bring you relief, And may you find comfort and peace in the thought Of the joy that knowing your loved on brought ... For time and space can never divide Or keep your loved one from your side When memory paints in colours true The happy hours that belonged to you.

GREAT WHEAL BUSY UNITED MINES. – A Correspondent give the following statement of the programme of the Chacewater demonstration, as announced in our advertising columns. The inhabitants with their friends, &c., will meet on the mine at ten o’clock, and form in the following order of procession: – Banner with Cornish Arms, Chacewater Band, Committee of Engineers, Rev. G. L. CHURCH, Mr. MOYLE, surgeon, Captain PASCOE and his friends, the Inhabitants two and two, the Poor two and two, – to walk from the mine into Chacewater, and thence to the church. After service, the people will return in the same order of procession to the market-house to dinner. TRURO WHITSUN FAIR. – This fair was held on Wednesday last, and, as usual, the cattle fair was in the morning and the pleasure fair principally in the afternoon and evening. At the cattle fair there was larger number of fat bullocks than usual, and a tolerably good sale at about 60s. per ewt. There was also a good demand for lean bullocks and working oxen, which sold at high prices. Fat sheep were extremely scarce and sold at 7d. per lb. and upwards. There were several pens of ewes and lambs, but they were in poor condition, and met with a very ordinary sale. The horse fair contained few good animals. The pleasure fair was not so largely attended as usual, though the trains of the West Cornwall Railway brought in 1659 passengers in the eight-five carriages in the course of the day, without a single casualty. There were a number of standings, and plenty of sweets and “fairings,” but the shows were fewer than usual, and very indifferent. There were pickpockets and ! thimbleriggers in the town, but they were recognized and well looked after by the police; the gambling gentry fixed their tables, but receiving a caution from the police, they did not think proper to commence operations in bamboozling the simple portion of her Majesty’s subjects. The costume of country visitors of the fair sex seems to have undergone a change; there were not so many light dresses as formerly, and fortunately it was so, for in the evening the rain came down in a sufficient torrent to spoil any delicate attire. Four or five of her Majesty’s servants, soldiers of the Royal Miners Artillery, at Falmouth, were so seduced by the prospective attractions of the fair, that they took French leave, “ and came up without asking permission of their Colonel, Sir Colman Rashleigh. In consequence a sergeant, corporal, and several privates were soon after them and the unlucky artillerymen were pounced upon and marched off under military escort to receive military punishment! . The streets in the evening were tolerably well cleared by a ! heavy an d continuous shower, which drove the people to shelter; and before this a considerable clearance had been effected by the departure of a long train on the West Cornwall line, consisting of twenty-six carriages, propelled by three engines. During the night the police were actively on duty, and none of those drunken and fighting brawls occurred, which at the Whitsun fair last year were the means of giving some parties a night’s lodging in the station-house. – On Thursday the fair was continued, but in a very poor way, the rain preventing any enjoyment. THE SACRILIEGE AT ST. NEOT. – A robbery of gold fringe, having taken place at this parish church, on Saturday, a mason, called George HARRIS, and John CRABB, of Liskeard, were taken before the Rev. James GLENROSS, the former charged with the commission of the offence, and the latter as the reciever. From the evidence given, namely, the selling of the gold thread for 12s., the charge was established, and both prisoners were committed to take their trial at the next Assizes. FALMOUTH. – On Friday evening last, the steam tug “Conquest,” from Shields for Constantinople, arrived, and after filling up with coals, proceeded on her voyage. SHIP LEAKY. – We understand that the “Marianna,” belonging to Mr. DOWNING and others of Falmouth, which sailed from that port for Quebec on Saturday the 3rd instant, with several passengers from Constantine, Cury, and the neighbourhood, has put back to Cork in a leaky state, after being a considerable way on her voyage. TRURO POLICE. – On Friday last, John PERROW, miner, of Redruth, was charged before Dr. CARLYON, county magistrate, with stealing a velveteen coat, fustion trowsers, waistcoat, and other articles belonging to Walter WHITEHAIR, a miner, of St. Blazey; and in a second charge with stealing a pair of boots from John LOWERY, a miner, of St. Mewan. Perrow and Lowry had left the articles above mentioned in the changing house of Par Consols mine, in the neighbourhood of St. Austell, where they were working, and the articles were stolen by Perrow. The young man, Whitehair, came to Truro and informed Mr. NASH, police superintendent, describing the thief and the clothing stolen, and stating that Perrow had been seen on the road between St. Austell and Truro. Mr. Nash went to the first turnpike gate out of Truro, on the St. Austell road, and after waiting there about half an hour, saw a man answering the description of Perrow approaching,wearing the velveteen coat and other a! rticles stolen. He took him into custody, and the property being identified, he was committed for trail on the two charges named. There was another case against him for stealing a cap, which was not entered into. FALMOUTH POLICE. – On Monday the 12th instant, before Mr. CARNE, mayor, and Mr. BROAD and Mr. ELLIS, magistrates, John MITCHELL, a waterman, was charged with plying without a licence on the waters of the harbour, contrary to the bye-laws of the borough. Mr. GENN was employed for the prosecution, and Mr. MOORMAN for the defence. Mr. JULYAN, inspector of police, stated that he was appointed to grant licences to the watermen of the port, and had instructions from the Council to bring forward the present cases. He said the defendant Michell had taken a licence last year, but not this, and he could call a witness to prove the plying on the 5th of May. He admitted that defendant had no boat to his knowledge, nor had many others, but it was the person, not the boat, which was licensed. Mr. Philip POPE, chief clerk to Messrs. Broad, deposed to sending Mitchell and some of the other defendants, to the roads twice on the 5th of May, when he paid them one shilli! ng each for each trip, and kept back one shilling on each trip for himself, as his part for the boat, which belonged to him. On cross-examination he said the defendant was not his servant, but took bobbles for him or any one, in any boat he could get a job in. Policeman CADDY stated that when he summoned the defendant he was in No. 6, gig, at the quay. Mr. Moorman contended that his client was not liable, as he was only acting under Mr. Pope’s order, in his boat, and that Mr. Pope should be the person to be licensed, or sued for the penalty. The magistrates, however, decided that Mitchell was liable, and adjudged him to the mitigated penalty of 2s 6d., and 9s. costs, or one week’s imprisonment. The Mayor said the council did not wish to press the charges against the other defendants, and at the suggestion of Mr. Genn, he said if they would pay the cost of summonses, but there being some demur thereto, the remaining cases were adjourned till Friday next, then to be gone int! o, if not settled as proposed. One case against a person calle! d BUTSON (?) was withdrawn. It is the practice for tradesmen near the quay to keep boats of their own to carry their merchandise to the various ships that come into the port for orders, &c. These have often been complained of by the licensed boatmen, and an ill-feeling engendered, which, it is hoped, will now be put a stop to. In consequence of this decision of the magistrates. The hall was filled with persons interested in the question. POCKET PICKING. – At Helston, on Saturday last, some women had their pockets picked, one, the wife of a butcher of about £9 , another woman of 35s.The delinquents got off without being discovered. A THIEF PURSUED. – Midnight depredation having become of frequent occurrence in the neighbourhood of Tywardreath, one of the fair was, on Saturday night last, determined, if possible, to prevent any of her husband’s garden stock forming part of the Whitsun dinner of either of her dishonest neighbours, and accordingly repaired to…some time the footsteps of a person approaching were heard, and presently the thief had located himself among the cabbages, upon which he proceeded to lay violent hand forthwith. He had time to sever only one from the soil ere he was accosted by the watcher, and rather surprised at his predicament, he flung the cabbage at her face and made off. A hot pursuit ensued, and the thief escaped but was so hardly pressed by his female pursuer, that he had not time to recover his cap, which accidentally fell from his head as he cleared the garden fence. SMUGGLING. – On Friday the 9th instant, Thomas GYLE(?) And John MORRIS, seamen on board the schooner “Sarah,” of St. Ives, from Havre, were detected by Mr. J.H. REAFENS, tide surveyor at Hayle, in concealing sweetened spirits and tobacco. On the following day they were taken before Mr. BLITHO, and charged by Mr. LOVE, collector of customs, with the offence, when each was fined £1 and cost. FIRE. – There was a fire at No. 1 Regent Terrace, Penzance, on Thursday afternoon the 8th instant, in a house usually occupied by Mrs. W. T. CARNE, but lately let to Mrs. MERRICK. The chimney communicating with the kitchen range, enters the main chimney of the house, and just above their junction there was a large wooden beam protruding into the untied chimneys, which beam is supposed to have been smouldering some days, for on Thursday afternoon smoke and flames burst through the roof without any previous warning. By means of the engine, the fire was soon extinguished, but not before the furniture of the attic adjoining the beam was destroyed, and some of the effects damaged by water and removal. FATAL GIG ACCIDENT. – On Wednesday afternoon, a most distressing accident occurred near St. Day, by which Mr. Henry HATTAM, farrier, of Redruth, lost his life, and several of his family were severely injured. It appears that Mr. Hattam and his family were on their way to Truro fair, and having to see a cow that was out of condition at St. Day, they went in that direction, and while going down over Little Beside Hill, near the United Mines, some person threw some gravel or earth into the road over the hedge, which startled the horse, (being a very young one and high spirited,) on which it made off at a furious pace down the hill, pitching Hattam over the carriage headlong, who was killed on the spot, and a little farther on the carriage was upset, and all were more or less seriously injured. The deceased has left a wife and family entirely destitute. ____________________________________________________________ NetZero now offers 4G mobile broadband.

TESTIMONIAL FROM PASSENGERS. – The following has been addressed to Captain J. PAWLEY, of the barque “Augusta,” dated Falmouth, May 11th, 1856: — “Dear Sir, – We, the undersigned passengers on board your ship, from India, beg leave to express our warmest thanks to you for your unremitting kindness and attention to us daring our long and tedious passage home, and to bear testimony to the indefatigable real, care, and affection displayed by…” Legal Intelligence. Q U E E N ’ S B E N C H. THURSDAY, MAY 8. LEWARN v. HENWOOD. – HENWOOD v. LEWARN. – These were two actions between the same parties to try the right to some property in Rosewin Row, Truro. Just previous to the last summer assizes they were agreed to be referred to the arbitration of … W.H. BOND and Mr. William CLYMA, or their umpire, Mr. Silvanus JAMES. The arbitrators held several meetings, and after examining between thirty and forty witnesses, had almost agreed, as it appeared by the affidavits, in finding all points in favour of Mr. LEWARN; but they differed as to the costs of the proceedings and thereupon Mr. James, the umpire, was called in; and he ultimately made his award in favour of MR. Lewarn, and directed all the costs to be borne by Miss Henwood. Last Hilary term Mr. LUSH, on her behalf, had obtained rules nisi for setting aside the award, on the ground the umpire had made his decision upon a mere view of the premises, without examining any witnesses; and in one case upon a technical objection to the form of the award. Mr. COLLIER, Q.C., and MR KINGDON, showed cause against the rules, on several affidavits, showing that in order to save expense it had been agreed at the first meeting to save expense it had been agreed at the first meeting between the parties and their solicitors, that in case the umpire was called in, it should not be necessary to re-examine the witnesses before him, but that it should be sufficient for the arbitrators to report to him the evidence they had taken. MR. EDWIN JAMES, Q.C., said he must admit that the affidavits in reply gave a complete answer to those on which the rules had been obtained, but he hoped the court would give no costs. MR. COLLIER contended that the grounds on which the applications to set aside the awards were made, were contrary to good faith, and the express agreement of the parties; and MR. JUSTICE COLERIDGE, after referring to the affidavit said these were clearly cases in which costs should be given, and the rules in both cases were accordingly discharged with costs. – Attorney for Miss Henwood, Mr. WEYMOUTH, London; attorney for Mr. Lewarn, Mr. CHILCOTT, Truro.

WHEREAS by my Advertisement issued in this matter, I appointed this day at Twelve o’clock at Noon, requiring all parties claiming to be Creditors of this Company, to come in and prove their debts before me as the Master of the High Court of Chancery, charged with the Winding-up of the said Company, at my Chambers, in Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, and until they so came in, they would be precluded from commencing or prosecuting any proceedings for recovery of their debts. And Whereas no Creditor HELSTON FLORA DAY. – The inhabitants of this town have, for some weeks past, been preparing for the celebration of this old festival. The house and gardens have been cleaned and decorated, and the pleasant little town on the 8th of May, wore its usual clean and gay appearance. The greater number of the old men who formed the “Halean-tow,” are dead, and for the first time within the memory of man, this curious part of the morning’s proceedings was dispensed with: it certainly was no ornament to the innocent amusements of the after part of the day. Early in the morning bands of music paraded the streets, and about Noon a great number of gaily dressed visitors had arrived. The weather being perfect for such and occasion, everybody anxiously awaited the commencement of the street dance. At one o’clock the principal dance commenced, led by Captain Glynn GRYLLS, of BOSAHAN, and Mrs. WEARNE, followed by F.V. HILL, Esq., and Mrs. George JAMES, and a long train of other ladies and gentlemen. _ They danced through the principal house and gardens, the effect of which was truly interesting, and concluded by a country dance in the Assembly Room. The second dance was led by Mr. Thomas Curry, jun., and Miss Roach, followed by a great number of other dancers, and every countenance bore obvious marks of the pleasurable excitement of the scene. In the evening a large ball took place at the Angel Inn, which was opened by Sir Colman RASHLEGH, Bart., and Mrs. H.J. MOLESWORTH St. Aubyn, followed by Captain H. J. Molesworth St. Aubyn, and Mrs. George James. Dancing was kept up with great spirit until an ! early hour in the mourning, and the arrangements of the stewards appeared to give entire satisfaction. There was also a ball at the Star Inn, which was well attended, and passed off very pleasantly. THE MINERS DOCTOR AND CLUB FUND. – The Rev. T. PASCOE, of St. Hilary, a county magistrate, and ex-officio guardian of the Penzance Union, had given notice of a motion at the fortnightly meeting of the Penzance Board of Guardians on the 8th instant, “to take into consideration the question of the doctor and club fund, and how far that fund may be rendered available towards the relief of the sick miner, his wife and children, as well as to the disabled man, instead of leaving them a burthen on the poor-rates as levied at present on land and house property only.” As, however, Mr. Pascoe had not given the proper notice for a special meeting, and the subject could not be formally entered upon at an ordinary meeting, no resolution was come to by the guardians, though there was some preliminary discussion on the subject. It is stated that the matter will be entertained at a future special meeting. PERRANWELL. – On Thursday last the inhabitants of this village celebrated the return of peace with a good-will and earnestness of purpose that did them much credit. In the course of the afternoon three splendid arches were erected across the road leading through the place. The windows and doors of the cottagers were all gaily decorated, and tar-barrels placed on the village green. About eight o’clock in the evening the Rev. Mr. WRIGHT read the proclamation, and then delivered an excellent address on the happy return of peace, which was well received and heartily responded to by the assembled multitude. The band then struck up “God save the Queen,” and the cannon saluted with twenty-one brass guns, lent for the occasion by the Perran Foundry Company; after which there was a general illumination, with fireworks and dancing; the whole of which was brought t o a close at an early hour, much to the credit of the parties interested, and particularly Mr. Joseph WILLIAMS! , under whose skill the whole affair was managed throughout. ____________________________________________________________ NetZero now offers 4G mobile broadband.

St. Austell – This court was held on Thursday the 8th instant, when 112 new cases were entered, and four adjourned. Of these 46 were heard in court, and in five cases judgment was given by consent. The remainder were settled out of court. CORNWALL COUNTY COURTS. Bodmin. – At this court, held on the 7th instant, Mr. L. D. GEACH, an insolvent, who had kept the Prince of Wales Inn, at Penzance, was opposed by Mr. WALLIS on behalf of the detaining creditor. Mr. POLKINGHORNE, of Penzance, and also for Messrs. LEMON, HART, and Co. of London, on the ground that he had contracted debts without a reasonable expectation of paying them, and that he had given a fraudulent preference to his wife. It appeared that he sustained a great loss by a fire, which was the cause of his insolvency and bad debts. By deed of assignment he assigned the whole of the good s he was possessed of for the benefit of his creditors, most of whom executed the deed. There also existed a marriage settlement which enabled his wife to sell the goods stated therein, to the disappointment of the opposing creditors. Mr. T. COMMINS, in support of the insolvent, contended that the grounds of opposition were not established and the insolvent was entitled to the bene! fit of the art. After being sworn to his schedule he was allowed to pass. Truro. – At the monthly court on Friday last there were seventy-five cases; one of which occupied the court a considerable time. It was a case of alleged breach of warranty of a horse. The plaintiff was Mr. George WYATT, confectioner; and the defendant Mr. William TEAGUE, brewer; both of Truro. Mr. EDWARDS appeared for plaintiff’ Mr. CHILCOTT for defendant. Mr. Edwards stated that shortly before the 5th of March the plaintiff having had a horse strain himself, required another, and went on that day, with Jonathan Rowe, a currier and leather cutter, to the defendant to treat for the horse in question; and it was alleged on behalf of the plaintiff, that on his making very particular inquiries of the defendant, the latter said he would warrant the horse to be sound, quiet, and staunch in harness; that on this warranty the plaintiff bought the horse for £14; that the horse proved to be neither quiet nor staunch in harness, but, on the contrary, vicious, restive, and ! a resolute confirmed jibber; that the defendant refusing ot take back the horse or refund the purchase money, the horse was sold for auction for £9 5s; and the plaintiff now claimed the difference between that sum and £14, together with the amount of some expenses incurred. The case between parties was one of conflicting evidence, both as to warranty, and as to the character and conduct of the horse. At its close, his HONOR gave judgment for plaintiff, for £6 0s. 6d. – There were also the following insolvency cases: – Henry ROSSITER, late of Kenwyn Street, Truro, watch and clock maker, jeweler, silver and goldsmith. At the April sitting this insolvent came up for final order; but, judgment having been obtained against him on the day he filed his petition the Judge refuse to grant final order until that judgment had been satisfied. His brother, from Penzance, now appeared in court, and paid the sum of £9 11s. in satisfaction of the claim referred to, and the insolvent obtain! ed his final order. – The cases of John TRUSCOTT, of St. Cleme! nt Stree t, William James REED, of Richmond Hill, and Edward PENNA, West Bridge, Truro, whose first examinations had been appointed for this day, were postponed till the 6th of June. Helston. – William HARRIS and Jemima, his wife, plaintiffs, and William GAY and Mary his wife, defendants. Mr. WILLIAM YEWENS for plaintiffs; Mr. FREDERICK HILL for defendants. This was an action brought to recover the sum of £10 from the defendant, Mary GAY, as the administratrix of the goods, chattels and effects of her father, James DOWNING, decease, who died intestate, on account of the plaintiffs’ distributive share of the said goods, chattels, and effects. Mr. HILL’S defense was that the defendant had fully administered to the estate and there was nothing left to pay the plaintiffs’ alleged claim. Evidence was given as to the property and the payments made. The case was adjourned. – The defendant to render and account stating how the proceeds of the property had been disposed of. Penzance. – At this court, held on Tuesday and Wednesday last, fifty-two cases were entered for trial; and amongst them was the following: – BARAGWANATH v. WASLEY. – This was an action to recover £26, as rent of the Hotel at St. Ives. Mr. R. MILLETT stated that plaintiff was formerly proprietor of the hotel, which was deeply mortgaged to the late Mr. HOCKING, surgeon, who, being unable to get either interest or rent, took proceedings by ejectment, became mortgagee in possession, and let the hosue to MR. Wasley, the defendant, who paid him a quarter’s rent; but in the middle of the next quarter, Mr. HOCKING, under a power of mortgage, sold the hotel to the Proprietors of the Redruth Brewery. In settling that purchase, Mr. Hockin was allowed six weeks’ rent, £8 6s.; the remaining £18 Wasley was to pay to the purchaser, Messrs. MAGOR and Co., of Redruth. Mr. Wasley occupied, under Messrs. Magor and Co., till December, 1854, and paide him the whole of the rent. – Mr.! CORNISH, for defendant, said he was concerned for Messrs. Magor and Co., in the purchase. Mr. Hocking the mortgagee in fee, was then in possession, and Wasley was his tenant under a written agreement – a tenancy from year to year, but only so long as Mr. Hocking remained in possession. A conveyance was joined in by Mr. Hocking in fee simple, and Mr. Baragwanath in equity; and Messrs. Magor and Co., had to receive some amount of rent from Wasly. Further it was urged, that if plaintiff had any claim it could only be against Messrs. Magor and Co. (though it was believed he had none), and the plaintiff was nonsuited. ____________________________________________________________ Raspberry Pill Burns Fat How This Weird Fruit Extract Can Make You Thinner in Just 5 Days. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL3241/4fea7dd344c577dd256c0st51duc

EXETER DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY (Before Mr. Commissioner Bere.) THURSDAY, APRIL 24. Re F.W. EMERSON, of Trereife Chemical Works, Penzance, manufacturing chemist. This was a meeting for last examination. – Mr. STOGDON appeared for the bankrupt; and Mr. TURNER for a Mr. ANDREWS, who claimed some property which was found in the bankrupt’s possession by the bankruptcy messenger, and delivered over to the official assignee. The question raised today was whether Mr. ANDREWS was or was not entitled to have the property in question returned to him by the official assignee, and it was understood that if the property was not returned Mr. ANDREWS would take legal proceedings to recover it. – The Bankrupt was examined, and stated that the property which Mr. ANDREWS claimed was carbonate of lead, which was not at his works in a dry state, and ready for manufacture. He (bankrupt) purchased it as suplate of lead, and converted it into the carbonate; the parties of whom he purchased it were Messrs. Smith, of London. – The COMMISSIONER asked why Mr. ANDREWS claim! ed it? The Bankrupt said that in October, 1854, Mr. Andrews advanced him £60, and he sold to him six tons of the carbonate of lead at £10 per ton, with an understanding that he was to redeem it within a certain time by re-payment of the £60. It was afterwards agreed that on the 14th of February, 1855, the bankrupt should convert a quantity of ingredients, which should be sent to him by Mr. Andrews, into “patent white lead” Mr. Andrews accordingly sent him some letharge, ore, acid, sulphate, &c. to be converted. Mr. Andrew’s brother was at the works to be instructed in the art of making “patent white lead,” and while he was so engaged, two tons of the ingredients sent by Mr. Andrews were converted. After being converted, they were sent to Mr. Andrews, who intended to forward them to Messrs. Vaughan and Simmons, of London, to be converted into cash. The remainder of the materials were still in the bankrupt’s works at Penzance. He (the bankrupt) had a license for making “paten! t white lead,” and also held a thirty-second share in the pate! nt; the license for making however expired at his bankruptcy. Mr. TURNER said the goods, having been sent to the bankrupt, and not converted, Mr. ANDREWS was entitled to claim them at the bankruptcy as his property; it was the same as a person sending cloth to his tailor, when, in the event of bankruptcy, it would be monstrous to say the cloth did not belong to the person sending it. The COMMISSIONER thought that it was nevertheless so. The case put by Mr. TURNER, he thought, only applied to watches and books. The bankrupt’s examination was then resumed. He stated that the ingredients sent by Mr. ANDREWS were the only ones of the kind in his works, with the exception of a small quantity of one or two ingredients, and had not Mr. Andrews sent them he should have been obliged to purchase on his own account, in order to keep the works on as they were only adapted for that particular work. The COMMISSIONER said that the point of law in the case in questions was so extremely difficult th! at he should advise the assignee to give up the property to the claimant. The balance sheet commenced on the 13th of September, 1851, and concluded at the date of the petition on the 7th of February, 1856. On the debtor side were debts owing, for which no consideration had been given, £55 18s. 4d.; amount due to creditors holding mortgages, liens, or other securities, £5,283 7s 1d.; all other debts owing £7,554 8s, 7d.; profits of business, sale to G.W. ANDREWS, of shares in Spilbury’s Patent, £4,910; received of T. ANDREWS, for premium with his son, £100; interest on F.G. Spilbury’s mortgage debt, £225 18s, 8d.; capital at the commencement of this balance sheet, £660 2s. 8d.; total £18,789 15s, 4d. On the creditor side were debts owing for which no consideration had been given, £55, 18s, 4d.; good debts, £1,435 2s., 11d.; bad, £1,912 5s. 4d.; property mortgaged, £3,500; all other property, £532 19s, 7d.; losses, £6,766 1s. 7d.; trade expenses, £3,963 1s. 7d.; household ex! penses, £624 6s 2d.; total, £18,780 15s. 4d. Among the credito! rs in Co rnwall are – R.H. Davy, Penzance, £10 0s. 8d.; Walter EDMONDS, Penzance, 7; W.D. MATHEWS, Penzance, £11 9s.2d.; among the large creditors are Mr. S.W. ANDREWS, Brentford, £345 14s.; Glasgow Bank, £423 3s. 10d.; Thomas Harrison, London, £150; HUGHES and STEELE, Newport, £300; London and Westminster Bank, £300; Phillipps, Cardiff, £95 7s 6d.; J. SCOTT, Keswick, 64 4s. 11d.; R.C. SLADE, Newport, £234 7s 6d.; REBECCA SCALE, Cardiff, £515 13s. 6d.; VAUGHAN and SYMONDS, Southwark, London, for goods and cash , £2983 12s. 9d.; for bills accepted, £1225. The mortgage creditors are W.H. FLINTAN, New Kent Road, London, £245 8s 9d.; Gresham Assurance Company, London, £3509; interest thereon, £112 18s. 4d.; and Samuel Gilbert, Bow Road, London, £1,200. The property mortgaged was Trereife Chemical Works, Penzance, £3,069 16s 5d.; water course, £104 1s. 6d.; laid out since in plant, machinery, &c., £2,368 0s. 1d.; valued only at the amount due on mortgage to the Gresham Assurance Company,! £3,500. The cause of bankruptcy was stated to be want of sufficient capital to bring his patents and mines into productive working; and in consequence of the pressure in the money market cause by the bank raising their discounts, inability to get capitalists to join him in carrying them out; thereby causing the above losses. THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF LOOE BRIDGE AND MILL. – This was a paper by Mr. JONATHAN COUCH, read by Mr. Tweedy. Now that the ancient and picturesque bridge which has connected the neighbouring towns of East and West Looe was about to disappear, he was desirous of placing on record a few particulars of the early portion of its history. As regarded the earlier portion of his materials, they derived their authenticity from the communication of an antiquary whose name stands pre-eminent in this department of science, but which without his consent he did not consider himself permitted to mention. An incident was related in Lardner’s Cabinet Cyclopædia, extracted from one of our ancient chronicles, showing that in the year 1403, in the reign of Henry the Fourth, a roving party of French and Spaniards attacked the town of Chita, as the writer calls it, which undoubtedly was Shuta, still existing as an obscure village, where, as is acknowledged by all, formerly stood the princ! ipal portion of the town now known as East Looe, and an ancient crossing place led to the perhaps still more ancient Port Bigh or Bye-ham, now West Looe. The place contained about three hundred houses, and was very rich, being inhabited wholly by merchants and fishermen. Mr. COUCH went on to give details of the attack upon the town, and remarked that such an attack could not have been made if a bridge had existed. It is certain that the building of this bridge was begun not long afterwards, and as the expense was likely to be great, and partly also because of the injury that had been inflicted by these pirates on the inhabitants of Shuta, in the burning of their dwellings and the destruction of their merchandise, recourse was had to an ecclesiastical indulgence to raise the money. The authority for this indulgence is to be found in Bishop Stafford’s Registrar at Exeter, and is dated 22nd of October, 1411. We cannot explain why it happened that no two arches of this bridge! were alike in their span; but as the triangular recess on one! of the pillars was larger than the others, an intention must have existed in the mind of the builder of devoting it to the use to which it was afterwards appropriated, that of receiving a way-side chapel. And yet this intention was not carried into effect until twenty-five years afterwards. According to the evidence of the Register, vol. 3, fol. 135 “the chapel of St. Anne, the Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that was built and erected in the middle of the said new bridge.” Was licensed by Bishop Lacy the 18th of November, 1426. It is not unlikely that the Barbican or place of defence was erected at the same time with the bridge, as it could not have been of use before, and afterwards it served as a guard to the only part of the town of Shuta – running as it did along the hill – that was open to attack. When the town was transferred to where East Looe now stands, this Barbican ceased to be of use, and nothing beyond the name is now remembered of it. It is proper to state, howev! er, that some portion of the present town of East Looe must have been in existence long before this; although it was, at the time we are speaking of, of less importance and riches than its more ancient neighbour on the top of the hill. At the earliest notice we find of it, a church existed, for in the register of Walter Nornescombe, who was the Bishop of Exeter from the year 1258 to 1280, folio 8, it is recorded that, “ in the year 1259, on Saturday after the feast of St. Denis (October) the Lord Bishop dedicated the Church of St. Mary de Loo.”– At that part of the Looe river where it is divided in to two nearly equal branches, is the Millpool which, as being an enclosed portion of the current, was the subject of an action at law. Mr. Couch here gave a long account of this ancient trial, which tool place at the county assizes, between Sir John Banks, Knight, as Attorney-General for the Crown, and Thomas Arundel, Esq., defendant. He observed that the Millpool must have bee! n greatly enlarged soon after the trial, for instead of two ac! res it i s now full thirteen acres in extent. STONE CIRCLES. – A letter from Mr. Mac Lauchlan to Mr. Tweedy was read by Dr. Barham. Referring to the notice at the last annual meeting of the Institution, of stone circles found by Mr. Whitley on Dartmoor, Mr. MacLauchlan observes: – Professor John Phillips in his “Rivers and Hills of Yorkshire” has written on these circles, and I have seen them frequently, particularly on Ingleborough, in Yorkshire, and Carn-engles near Newport in Pembrokeshire. These are two of the strongest hill camps in the kingdom perhaps, and from their name containing the world engle or ingle (fire in British) may be fairly supposed of British origin, particularly the latter.” – Mr. MacLauchlan stated from his own observation that these stone circles are widel diffused over the kingdom, and that they are probably of early origin. He thought they were a primitive way of making a shelter; sticking up poles, tying them together perhaps at the top, and putting turf or other warm covering as a! shelter from the wet and cold. He believed the doors were generally to the south, or on the lowest side; and he had generally found the circles from twenty-five to thirty feet in diameter. – Mr. MacLauchlan also says: – “ I read the account of the opening of they Veryan barrow with great satisfaction, as I had often seen it in my walks by the Cornish shore, and pondered on what it might probably contain. It is not often that suggestion from early history meet with so probable an elucidation of Gerennius; and perhaps you could not find a better reason for opening these barrows, to which some people objected, than the success attending your excavation in Cornwall. ROYAL INSTITUTION OF CORNWALL. A Meeting of the members was held on the 29th ult., the Mayor of Truro, Mr. Stokes, presiding, and there was a numerous and respectable attendance. Dr. Barham drew attention to a very fine specimen of coral, presented by Mr. Augustus Smith, of Tresco Abbey, Scilly; which had been brought from the South Seas by a master of a vessel. Mr. Tweedy presented from Mrs. Taunton several telescopes and other optical instruments. Besides there intrinsic worth, they will be regarded with interest as a memorial of Dr. Taunton’s long and valuable connection with the institution. Dr. Barham exhibited several of the specimens which had been received from the Commissioners of the Great Exhibition, illustrative of various operations in arts and manufacturers. The CORNISH MOTTO. – A letter was ready by Dr. Barham from Mr. Charles Fox, inclosing a note from Mr. Robert Walker Childs, of London, who said – “I have read with great interest our communication to the Royal Institution of Cornwall, with reference to the Sidonian inscription. Beloythe or Bolitho is the name of a place near Liskeard, as well as the name of a family. I think many traces of the ancient intercourse between Cornwall and Phœnicia yet remain for discovery. It has sometimes occurred to me that the Cornish motto “One and all” was undoubtedly a religious formula of the Egyptians and Phœnicians, expressing the unity and universality of the Deity; and Ammon, or Bel, was also called by the Greeks Hen (one). I have never heard of any satisfactory explanation of the Cornish motto; it has usually been attributed to the clannish feeling among the Cornish; but I should think it has a more ancient origin; and as your attention has been directed to our connexion with Phœnicia! , you will, I am sure, excuse my troubling you withthis idea.” – Mr. Charles Fox remarks: “If we could recover the Cornish language, as spoken before the christian era, we should probably fine many evidences, in Hebra-Phœnician words, of early intercourse. That no coins (as I suppose) have been found, may perhaps be attributed to their direct intercourse with Cornwall having almost ceased before their subjection to the Greeks. No Phœnician coins of an earlier date than that, are extant. Mr. Fox’s note had also reference to a donation which it accompanied of a photographic copy of the head of the Sidonian King, the inscription on whose sarcophagus was presented at the meeting of the institution in February. Mr. Fox says: – “I can now send the copy (which I obtained in Syria) of the head of the Sidonian King. I do not know what accuracy there may be in the outline of the lower end of the sarcophagus lid, as represented in the copy of the inscription which I sent to the institution; but on connecting the two parts (the head and inscription) one may observe how nearly, if not exactly, the lid resembles that form of Pthah, or Vulcan, particularly worshipped at Memphis, excepting the Scarrabæus with the sun and asps, which are not figured in the breast of the Sidonian King. The necklace with its two extremities, each surmounted by a hawk’s head, especially belonged to Pthah Sokari. The inscription occupies the usual place of the hieroglyphics. Although! the lid is eight feet in length, there is a stunted form in the outline (according to my copy) which entirely agrees with Sir G. Wilkinson’s figure of the sarcophagus of the dwarf deity at Memphis. TEREDO NAVALIS. – Mr. OSLER gave a description of the Ship-worm, of which notices have appeared in the Newspapers as ingesting the harbour at Sebastopol, and destroying the Russian ships sunk in that harbour. He exhibited specimens from the museum, and said the descriptions in newspapers were very inaccurate. It is not a worm, but a shell fish; it does not feed upon timber, but bores in it for its habitation. The Teredo Navalis is found in all warm climates, but has long been extinct in these northern seas. NATURAL HISTORY.– A description of a peculiar kind of fungus, (written by Mr. W. Tweedy), was read by Mr. Tweedy. It belonged to the genious Geaster or Earth-star, and was found in a hollow elm tree at Truro Ve?. Mr. Edward Parfitt, of Exeter, believed it to be the Fornlectus(?) of Hudson and other authors; but Mr. W. Tweedy dissented from that opinion. – After the reading of this paper, Dr. Barham congratulated the society on an occasion of juvenile labourers, and spoke of the useful operations of the Natural History class last year. GEOLOGY. – A section of curious rocks at Bude as present by Mr. Whitley; and Mr. Tweedy and Mr. Whitley made some observations thereon. Mr. Whitley thought the rocks had been peculiarly twisted through having been pressed up between the large masses of granite on either side. – Dr. Barham then read a note from Professor Sedgwick, in which he inquires “Has anything been done lately with the older palæozoic beds of Cornwall? I mean the beds south of St. Austell, which have what I call true old Cambrian fossils. It is a question of sections rather than of fossils; and the stratigraphical points are not (or were not) very easy to settle.” INSCRIBED STONE. – A sketch was presented by Mr. WHITLEY, of an inscribed stone about five feet high, of granite, at the mowhay gate, Nanscowe, in St. Brenck. The inscription was as follows: – VLCAGNIFIL: SEVER, which being a combination of British and Roman, Mr. Whitley suggested that it afforded proof that intermarriages took place in ancient times between the noble Romans and the ladies of Britain, the fame of whose beauty, as in modern times, reached to distant parts of the world. – Mr. TWEEDY referred to other instances in Cornwall of stones inscribed with combined British and Roman names, for example the stone at St. Clement, inscribed ISNIOC VITAL: Such combination of British and Roman names carried us back to the very early date when the Romans had not entirely abandoned this country – Some other such instances were mentioned by Dr. BARHAM, especial one at Madron. – Mr. Thomas Kent, of Padstow, member of the British Archaeological Association, had writte! n to Mr. Whitley, that a similar sketch to that now present was communicated by him (Mr. Kent) to MR. Charles Roach Smith, the secretary of the British Archaeological Society, and was published in their journal for March, 1845. Mr. Kent supposed the inscription should be read – “Ulcagnius filius Seceri.” METEOR. – A note was read by Dr. BARHAM from the Rev. T. Phillpotts, of Porthgwidden, giving the following account of the meteor of January last, as seen by Mr. Enys and himself: – “It was, I think, on the 7th of January, and as near as I could note it, thirty-five minutes past four, when we were crossing in a boat from Point to Restronguot, that we were startled by the appearance of a bright stream of light, similar to a falling star, but much larger, and although it was still daylight, very intense. Our position was abreast of the Carnon mine shaft, and the meteor appeared nearly due east. The light was at first very vivid, and in a direct line, marking the rapid fall of some luminous body. This lasted two or three seconds only, and was succeeded by a whitish streak occupying the same position, which gave me the idea of a severance in the cloud by the rapid passage of the meteor. This continued for several minutes, probably eight or ten; It Gradually lost the re! gularity of its outline, and became somewhat serpentine in its form, which became gradually more and more disturbed, till, as it appeared, the cloud closed together again, and resumed its uniform appearance. It was seen very distinctly by both Mr. Enys and myself, as well as by some of my family who were passing in a carriage by Killiganoon at the time. – Dr. Barham, by means of a map of the South Coast of England, and a diagram by Mr. Rickard of the Mining School, exhibited the bearings as it was stated to have been seen from various places, and deduced that its positions must have been not far from Cherbourg. The point at which it started must have been at an elevation of about sixty miles; it fell about fifteen degrees, and then exploded something like a sky-rocket. The motion of the body lasted only about two seconds, but the train of light remained about fifteen minutes. He then made some observations on the present theory concerning meteors, that they were nebulous m! atter passing through space, and condensing, with combustion, ! as they came into our atmosphere. – Mr. HODGE, of the Mining School said, meteoric stones generally, though not always, consist of metallic iron containing nickel diffused through it in a peculirar manner; for bodies of this class when acted upon by nitric aci, which affects the iron more readily than the nickel, leave a porous skeleton of this latter metal, affording evidence that the nickel is not alloyed with the iron, but for the most part diffused through its mass in a regular manner. Now, iron may be prepared in the laboratory in a finely-divided and pyrophoric form, inflaming even at ordinary temperatures, on bringing it in contact with the air. He suggested the possibility that iron, forming, perhaps, at one time, part of the missing planet between Mars and Jupiter, may exist in space in a volatilized condition – that would most probably assume a spongy form, – and that the paricles of the nickel and iron being during this condensation subjected to the magnetic and other inf! luences, might be expected to arrange themselves in a definite manner. A spongy mass of this kind coming into the earth’s atmosphere, would necessarily give rise to the production of heat; sufficient, doubtless, under the circumstances to cause at least its partial fusion. He thought that the cause of the combustion of meteors and the train of light that followed them, might be thus explained; and although it may appear likely that a very considerable proportion of oxide of iron ought to be found in meteorites as the result of such confbustion (paper error), it is surely not impossible, that at so great and elevation, the iron may, as is the case with copper, absorb oxygen at a high, and again give it out at a lower temperature; this sudden disengagement of oxygen in part accounting for the frequent explosions which occur during the passage of these bodies through our atmosphere. This concluded the proceedings of the meeting. Legal Intelligence. EXETER DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY (Before Mr. Commissioner Bere.) MONDAY, APRIL 6. REFUSAL TO ANNUL A BANKRUPTCY. Re. J.B. LOCK, of Truro – In this case, Mr. STOGDON appeared for the bankrupt, and Mr. VENN, for the petitioning creditor, Mr. Gard, a merchant at Exeter. The sitting was adjourned from the 29th ult., when it will be remembered an application was made to annul the bankruptcy, – for the production of the books of Mr. James Escott, of Dunster, Somerset, the brother-in-las of Locke, in order to see if they corresponded with the books kept by bankrupt. At former sittings witnesses were examined in support of the application, and to-day the COMMISSIONER, after inspecting the books of the bankrupt and those of Mr. ESCOTT, said he could not annul the petition, and considering the conflicting evidence he declined to give any opinion, as it might prejudice some party if he did so. If was a question, which excited a great deal of suspicion, and the bankrupt, if he pleased, could go before a jury. If the case was heard in a superior Court he (the Commissioner) was sure the L! ord Chancellor would say it was a case to go to a jury. Mr. STOGDON said, that being his Honor’s decision the bankrupt would take time to consider what course he would adopt. The COMMISSIONER said, under these circumstances he would suspend the usual advertisement for a week. WEDNESDAY, MAY 7. Re EDWARD ROWE and EDWARD WOES, the younger, stationers, of Penzance. This was sitting for a choice of assignees. Mr. HEAD (of the firm of Head and Venn, solicitors, Exeter,) tendered the following proofs of debts, to the amount of £1,114 1s. 7d., which were admitted. – Messrs. Longman and Co., booksellers, London, £790 8s. 3d.; Thomas Waller and Mary Waller, news-agents, Lilipot Lane, London, £141 19s. 3d.; George B. Kirkman and William Thackray, Doctors’ Commons, London, stationers, £78 11s. 2d.; Thomas Piper, William Stephenson, and Joseph Spence, Paternoster Row, London, booksellers, £36 4s. 4d.; Alexander Cowan and Co., Cannon Street, London, £33 11s. 9d.; David Bogue, Fleet Street, London, bookseller, £22 8s. 1d.; and Edward Butt, bookseller, Paternoster Row, London, £12 18s 9d. Mr HEAD, proposed that Mr. Bevis Ellerby Green, of Paternoster Row, London, (of the firm of Longmans and Co.,) should be chosen assignee, and there being no opposition he was accordi! ngly appointed. Mr. Head afterwards applied for an allowance for the bankrupts; and the official assignee having reported to the Court on the state of the bankrupts’ estate, his HONOR granted an allowance of £2 a week to the father, and£ £1 a week to the son. ____________________________________________________________ NetZero now offers 4G mobile broadband.

Dear Cornish List, Julia reposted part one of the news for May 9, 1856. I am posting in two separate emails the 2nd and 3rd installments of that date. The formatting looks ok on the sending end, bit if there are any issues, bear with me while I get the hang of posting. For example, in Word, I've used a pound symbol which I am hoping will transfer in the mail program. Thanks for your patience, Lorena (from many Cornish lines) Legal Intelligence. STANNARIES’ COURT The quarterly sittings of the Stannaries Court for Devon and Cornwall were opened at Truro on Saturday last, before the Vice-Warden, when the following motions were made: – RICKARD and OTHERS v. HAMLEY, – Bedford Consols. – Mr. STOKES (for Mr. Chilcott) said this was a creditors’ petition for recovery of £10 5s. A decree pro confesso for payment had been granted, and a portion of the debt had been received, leaving a balance due of £7 12s. 5d. On affidavits of service of decree and non-payment, he moved for an order nísí for sale. – Rule nísí granted. GATLEY v. RICKARD. – St. Dennis Consols. – The plaintiff was Mr. John Gatley, and the defendant Mr. Martin Rickard. Mr. JOCKIN said plaintiff’s was a creditor’s petition for recovery of £122 13s. 2d., with interest from the 1st of November last. Mr. Roberts had put in an answer, but was now willing to consent to a decree for the amount, payable in a month (the decree for payment, under the new rules of court, including an order for sale). Mr. ROBERTS, for defendant, stated his consent, and the VICE-WARDEN made a decree for payment in a month. PEARSE v. BUCKINGHAM. – Tinvale Mine – Plaintiff was Mr. JOHN TUENER PEARSE; defendant, Mr. JOHN BUCKINGHAM. Mr. HOCKIN said this was a creditor’s suit for recovery of £5 10s. 2d. A decree for payment had been made under the new practice, including an order nísí for sale. He now moved, on affidavits of service and non-payment, for a rule absolute for sale. Some conversation took place between the Vice-Warden and Mr. Hockin as to whether it was not sufficient, under the new rules, to file affidavits of service and non-payment with the Registrar, and then to have an order for sale as a matter of course, without coming before the Vice-Warden. HIS HONOR said he would consider that point. NOELL v. WYNNE. – In this case, Mr. Henry Noell, of Hayle, as purser of Gwallon Mine, in St. Hilary, sued Mr. Thomas Wynne, an inspector of cole mines, in Staffordshire, for recovery of £213, 0s. 8d., costs on 22-1024th shares in that mine. The mine was started in January, 1853, when Mr. Noel sent reports and blank forms to various parties who were invited to take shares. Defendant filled up a printed form in which he applied for twenty-five. There were more shares applied for than the number into which the mine was divided; an allotment was made to each applicant rateably, and defendant was allotted twenty-two instead of the twenty-five he applied for. Notice of the allotment was sent to defendant in March, 1853, but defendant neither assented to nor dissented from the arrangement. Noticed of the mine meetings and statements of accounts were subsequently sent to defendant, who, however, took no noticed of them, or ever wrote on the subject to the purser. About t! welve months after he applied for shares, he told Mr. Charles Lear, in Staffordshire, that he would have nothing to do with the shares as he had not the number that he applied for. The case was heard at the last sittings, when the VICE-WARDEN deferred judgment. He had since given the following decision: – In this case I cannot doubt that the defendant really received all the letters and notices sent to him. Possibly he purposely abstained from making any reply, in order that he might be at liberty to accept or repudiate the shares, according as it might be found to be his interest to do one thing or the other. This would be a fraud. I am, therefore, of opinion, that he is rightly held liable as a shareholder; that his conduct on and after the receipt of the letter of March fixed him with acquiescence in the altered proposal contained in that letter; and that any other view of the case would only tend to fix him with a fraud of the company. I shall presume a contract and not! a fraud; and give judgment for plaintiff, and decree payment ! in a wee k, otherwise sale, &c. I have already said that the evidence is far from cogent. I am, therefore, willing to give defendant the benefit of an issue at law on the question whether the plaintiff consented to become a shareholder for twenty-two shares in March; on condition that the issue be tried at the next sittings, and that there be an order for sale absolute forthwith if the verdict be against defendant. If not issue be put down for trial at next sitting, then the above decree to stand.” Mr. STOKES, for plaintiff, now said he understood his friend Mr. ROBERTS was not prepared to try his issue, though he had been in communication with the parties in Staffordshire. He (Mr. Stokes) should urge that the issue be tried, if at all, during the present sittings, because the number of shares in defendant’s name in the cost-book, 22-1024ths, kept the accounts in a state of confusion. Mr. ROBERTS, in reply, stated that he did not receive his Honor’s judgment until the 21st of April, ! when he sent a copy of it to Staffordshire; and he went on to state what had since passed between him and defendant’s solicitor in Staffordshire, who certainly had not understood his client’s position, although he (Mr. Roberts) had been as explicit as he well could be. On the ground of the importance of the suit to defendant, and because he submitted plaintiff had been guilty of laches, and to give defendant’s Staffordshire solicitor an opportunity, if he wished it, of consulting counsel in London, he asked his Honor to give further time to the defendant, even if thereby the issue was thrown over for trial to the next sittings. – The VICE WARDEN said he would consider the case, and state to what extent he would depart form the condition that the issue be entered for trail at these sittings. LANG v. ROSKILLY AND ANOTHER. – In this small debt case, the verdict for plaintiff to pay costs of the day, which when taxed amounted to £3 1s. 6d. On the motion of Mr. HOCKIN, for defendants, an order was made for payment of these costs. The court was then adjourned. STANNARIES’ COURT. (Continued from the Sixth Page.) The cause list contained the following entries: – Stannaries of Devon, motions, 10; equity side, 22. Stannaries of Cornwall, suits by plaint, 43; by writ, 1; motions, 5; equity side, 21. On Monday the Court proceeded with the hearing of small debt cases (for recovery of debts not exceeding £50), and the same class of cases occupied the whole of Tuesday. On the latter day the following were amongst the actions tried: – FULFORD v. PERMEWAN. – Mr. STOKES appeared for plaintiff; the defendant conducted his own case. Plaintiff was Thomas Fulford, a miner, who sued the defendant for recovery of £5 1s. 9d., as a balance which he alleged was due to him for tutwork performed in St. Columb United Mines, in the parish of St. Columb Major, in February and March last, and for money which he said he had expended for articles used on the mine. Defendant was Mr. James Permewan, of Penzance, the purser of St. Columb United, who was sued as an adventurer in the mine. The plaintiff gave evidence that he was employed by Captain John Teague, the then managing agent of the mine, to drive south in the adit ten fathoms, at 10s. per fathom, at a place called Trebadannon, immediately adjoining the mine. He worked there from the 8th of February to the 3rd of March, when he was stopped by orders of a new agent, Captain Michell, who has been appointed in the place of Captain Teague. He had driven before he! was stopped, 9 fathoms 1 foot, which, at 10s. per fathom, would come to £4 11s 8d. He also worked two stems by direction of Captain Teague, for which he charged 2s. 6d. each day. He bought a crowbar for the use of the mine, price 4s. 2d., and Captain Teague had it; he supplied also a large candle chest for the mine, value 6s. From this he had to deduct for candles supplied to him, the greater part of which he had returned, and 1s. 6d. for “doctor and club,” after which deductions his claim was reduced to £5 1s. 9d. From this plaintiff had to make a further deduction of 6s. for the chest, because his plaint did not extend to “goods sold and delivered, “thud reducing his entire claim to £4 15s 9d. Captain Teague had measured the ground he had driven, and made it 9 fathoms 1 foot, and afterwards Captain Teague and Captain Michell had measured it together, and found it six inches more. John Rowse, whose brother had land at Trebadannon, adjoining the mine, stated that defendan! t had applied for that land to be added to the sett. It was no! t grante d him, but he obtained permission from Mr. Rowse to clear out the adit from ? mouth at Trebadannon; witness was present when Captain Teauge set the bargain to plaintiff, and he had seen plaintiff afterwards working in that adit. Captain John Teague was also called, and gave evidence that he had set the bargain to plaintiff for 10 fathoms, and that plaintiff had driven 9 fathoms 1 foot. Mr. Permewan cross-examined these witnesses at considerable length and said he had paid the plaintiff, in error, for work said to have been performed by him, but which was not, previously to the bargain which was the subject of the present suit and he wished to deduct that amount as a set-off from the plaintiff’s present claim. He was told, however, by the Vice-Warden, that he could not do so, because he had given no notice of a set-off; but he would be able to recover any amount wrongly paid, by another process. On further cross-examination, the plaintiff admitted that he had worked in Pena! ir mine, of which Captain Teague was the agent, but he denied that he had charged for work done in both mines in the same month. These, and other questions about materials brought from Penair mine to St. Columb United, and about materials bought at a mine sale, &c., were put by defendant, with the view of showing, as he said, that Captain Teague and the plaintiff were leagued together. The plaintiff denied this imputation and on Mr. Permewan saying he wanted to show that there was no collusion between plaintiff and the agent. Captain Teague retorted – “You are an infamous man.” The Vice-Warden stopped this course of proceeding, stating that the only question was, whether the plaintiff had done certain work fro which he was entitled to be paid. Mr. Permewan, he said, had no business to make this action a vehicle for inquiring into the general management of the mine. Plaintiff admitted that after a meeting of the adventurers on the 15th of February, defendant told him he was ! to stop drivingl but, he said, defendant afterwards told him h! e was to go on under the directions of Captain Teague, who continued to act as agent till the 7th of March. This point elicited the remark from the Vice-Warden, that even if the purse ordered the work to be stopped, it having been set by the managing captain, the question was which the miner should obey. He thought the purser could not stop work ordered by the captain, unless there was a special resolution of the adventurers empowering him to do so. Eventually the VICE-WARDEN, in summing up told the jury that the greater part of the plaintiff’s claim was for work done, and there could be not doubt from the evidence, that he did that work by the direction of a person who had at the time abundant authority. – Verdict for the plaintiff for £4 15s 9d. TEAGUE v. KNIGHT. In this case Mr. William Teague, brewer, at Truro, sued Mr. John Knight, beershop keeper in that town, for recovery of £6 16s. 4d., balance alleged to be due for beer supplied to defendant between the 1st of July and the 31st of January last, Defendant had paid £3 11s. 11d. into court, which reduced plaintiff’s claim to £3 4s. 5d. Mr. STOKES appeared for the plaintiff; defendant conducted his own case. There was no dispute about the quantity of beer and porter charged for, with the exception of one kilderkin, which defendant alleged was returned, and for which he claimed a reduction of 16s. But there was a conflict of evidence about certain allowances which are frequently made by brewers to beer-sellers by retail, and on this point the court was occupied a long time. The allowances in question were 1s. per kilderkin discount to the beer-seller, and 9d. per kilderkin for grains and barm, if the latter were not supplied to the retailer. The plaint! iff, Mr. Teague, said he only allowed the 1s. discount when settlements were made on delivery of monthly or two monthly accounts; and that as to grains and barm, defendant had been supplied with even more than the usual quantity. The allowances as to grains and barm were quite gratuitous, and only made in the case of regular customers, defendant being merely an occasional customer; plaintiff did not make such allowances to parties cast of Truro. William Penno, in the employ of plaintiff, was called to corroborate his testimony. – On the part of the defendant several witnesses were called. Defendant and his son, and another witness stated that grains and barm had been had by defendant from plaintiff’s brewery only about four times; and defendant called Mr. Thomas Collins who keeps a beer-shop and eating-house in Church Lane, Truro, who stated that he had dealt with the plaintiff and his predecessor Mr. George Abraham Knight for twenty-three years, during which time he had al! ways been allowed the 1s. discount, and 9d. per kilderkin for ! barm and grains, which as he always paid for when supplied, he was allowed for when the bills were settled, and that always he had three months’ credit, and sometimes more. The same allowance for discount, grains and barm was made by the Penzance Brewery. Mr. Thomas John, who had formerly been clerk to plaintiff, said the allowances spoken of were usual; when bills had run over three, four, or more months, he had known the discounts allowed. This witness admitted that he had had differences with the plaintiff. He also said that the brewers in the west of Cornwall on one occasion met together at Hayle, and tried to abolish the allowances, but they found it would not do. The defendant himself gave evidence that plaintiff told him he would supply himo n the same terms as Mr. knight, the agent of the Penzance Brewery, which was 1s. 9d. per kilderkin for discount and barm and grains. This, however, was denied by the plaintiff, who said he never made any such agreement with defendant. Mr.! STOKES, in addressing the jury, urged that the allowances for grains and barm were only made to regular customers like Mr. Collins, and not to such as the defendant, who brewed himself. The VICE-WARDEN said, the law presumed that tradespeople were to be paid in ready money, and though a tradesman might give credit in some instances, and grant discounts, that was no proof what ought to be his dealings in all cases. The defendant, however, had said there was a specific agreement as to the terms on which he was to be supplied, and on that and other points the Vice-Warden dre attention to the credibility of the witnesses, and particularly referred to the vidence of Mr. John. Defendant claimed as a set-off, for discounts £1 9s.; for barm and grains, 18s 9d; and for kilderkin returned, 16s., which made up £3 3s. 9d. The jury retured from the court to consider the case, and on their return gave verdict for plaintiff for 18s. 9d., thus disallowing to defendant his claim for barm ! and grains, but allowing him the 1s. per kilderkin discounts, ! and the value of the returned kilderkin. WEDNESDAY, MAY 7. NOELL v. WYNNE. – The VICE-WARDEN read the order he had made in this case, to the effect that if the defendant should, within one calendar month after date of the order, elect to try an issue upon the fact whether the defendant was or was not, in April, 1853, when the first call was made, a holder of 22-1024th shares in Gwqallon mine, then such issue is to be prepared, and notice of trial to be given for the next sittings, on the common law side of the court. If the issue was not brought for trial at the next sittings, or if on trial and verdict for plaintiff, no new trial was for within three days, or if moved for was not granted, then the judgment already made in the cause to be absolute. Mr. Roberts having mentioned that defendant contemplated an appeal, the VICE WARDEN said he would give every facility for so doing, and signified his opinion that defendant might appeal either with or without trying the issue. OATES v. BARNES. – This was an action at common law, Mr. STOKES appearing for the plaintiff; and Mr. HOCKIN and Mr. R. MILLETT for the defendant. Plaintiff was Mr. Josiah Oates, of the parish of Ludgvan, and defendant was Mrs. Amelia Barnes, formerly of Regent House Academy, Penzance, and lately living at Falmouth. The action was for recover y of £66 6s. 10d., as a balance which the plaintiff claimed to be due to him from the defendant as administratrix for money payable by Richard Barnes in his lifetime to Harriet Oates, the wife of plaintiff, and for money due on an account stated. The declaration also alleged that defendant had herself promised to pay the money now claimed. In answer to this defendant had pleaded, first, that he deceased husband was never indebted; secondly, that she had never promised to pay; and thirdly she had pleaded plen administravit, or that she had fully administered all the estate and effects of her deceased husband, and had nothing le! ft to pay the plaintiff. From the statement of MR. Stokes, and the evidence of plaintiff, it appeared that Mr. Oates married Miss Harriet Boase in 1835, and that previously a marriage settlement was drawn, dated 5th September, 1835, by which £500 in New 3-1/2 per cent. Annuities, was settled upon Mrs. Oates and her children Two trustees were appointed under the marriage settlement, one being Mr. Richard Barnes, and the other a Mr. Bodilly. Mr. Barnes was the acting trustee, and it appeared that during the lifetime of Mrs. Oates (who died 10th of September last) Mr. Barnes, with the concurrence of Mr. and Mrs. Oates, sold out all the stock, and lent the sum of £336 5s. to a Mr. White, on interest, whilst the remained of the sum accruing from the stock was applied towards the purchase of land, to which the parties all agreed. The money lent to White was repaid to Barnes, and in 1847, Josiah Oates had some of the principal from Barnes. In 1848 he received from Barnes an accoun! t of the trust moneys then remaining with the trustees, as fol! lows: – 1847, Feb. 9th, by cash, £156 15s.; 1848, Feb. 5th, to case paid £25, which deducted from the previous sum left £131 15s. Mr. Barnes died in October, 1849, and his widow (the present defendant) administered to his estate and effects. Then in February, 1850 plaintiff, his wife, and the surviving trustee, Mr. Bodilly, saw Mrs . Barnes at Penzance. The account of Mr. Barnes given to plaintiff in 1848 was then talked about, and Mr. Bodilly undertook to see what the remaining balance amounted to. He then made the following additional entries with the assent of Mrs. Barnes: January 11th, 1850, interest on £131 15s. at five per cent, for three years, £19 13s., from which deduct 5s. 6d. income tax, and the sum remaining was £19 7s. 6d., which, added to the principal £131 15s., made 151 2s. 6d. Mr. Bodilly was Mrs. Barnes’s brother-in-law. Up to that time plaintiff and his wife had received the whole of the money except the sum of £151 2s. 6d., and he was then paid by Mrs. Barnes ! £51 2s. 6d., thus leaving a blance due from her as administratrix of £100. Plaintiff said Mrs. Barnes told him it was fortunate her husband’s life had been insured in £500 as it enabled her to make herself clear in the world. He received from her after that, about April, 1850, the sume of £50, which reduced the balance owing to £50, which with interest made up the sum now claimed of £66 6s. 10d. – Mr. HOCKIN cross-examined the plaintiff with the view of supporting the plea of plene administravit, to show that defendant had exhausted the estate of her deceased husband, in which case nothing more could be claimed from her. Plaintiff admitted that defendant had seven children, that she had an expensive son or two, that she had given up the school and left Penzance, and that he heard her say her debts were £800 at the death of her husband, but he believed she administered to £1,209. Mr. Hockin declined at the call of Mr. Stokes, to produce the letters of administration, and t! here then ensued a long legal argument between the advocates. ! Mr. HOCK IN submitted that the plaintiff must be non-suited, on three separate grounds: – first, that a cestui qui trust could not sue at common law to recover a balance from trustees. Secondly, that the marriage settlement deed of Harriet Boase (which had been put in as evidence) conveyed the property to her as wife and to her children and that there was no ulterior trust in favour of her husband; she had no children, and having power to dispose of the property as she pleased, but not exercising that power, Mr. Hockin contended that her husband was not her legal representative in respect of this trust money, and could not claim from the defendant. He also submitted that plaintiff could not sustain this notion without having administered to his wife’s estate. These points were argued by the advocates, and reserved by the Vice-Warden; but another point urged by Mr. Hockin, that the plaintiff had not shown assets in hand, was over-ruled by his Honor, who thought there was evidence of a! ssets to the amount of £50, and on that point the case went to the jury. Mr. HOCKIN told the jury that the representative of a deceased person was not bound, by law, to pay more that the estate produced. He then put in defendant’s letters of administration, and also the residency account, showing in the hands of the administratrix, £1,301, but that she had paid debts amounting to £903, leaving a balance of £398. The balance, however, he said was only apparent, not actual, because the house at Penzance, where the school was kept by Mr. Barnes, was valued in the account at £531 5s., but after his death Mrs. Barnes had found it was mortgaged in £400, and the mortgagee was now in possession, and the house was to be sold. Deducting therefore, the value of the house, £531 5s., from the total amount £1,301, the value of Mr. Barnes’s estate was reduced to £769 15s. 5d., and as Mrs. Barnes had paid debts amounting to £902, she had actually paid, with the assistance of friends, £1! 32 more than she had received. (Mr. STOKES here contended that! the val ue of the house could not be expunged from the assets under a plea of plene administratvit, but that the mortgage should have been specially pleaded, as in law it was considered a debt of a higher nature. His Honour made a note of the objection). Mrs. Barnes was then called, and said she had paid away more money than she had received from her husband’s estate; she did not recollect ever having told plaintiff that she had money enough to clear her in the world; she always intended to pay him if she could, but believed she never stated any time. She also gave evidence about the mortgage on the house, confirming Mr. Hockin’s statement; and Mr. R. Millett testified to the same point, stating that he had the house lately valued and the appraiser’s opinion was that it was not worth more than the £400 mortgage. After Mr. Stokes had replied, the VICE-WARDEN summed up, stating that all the property which had come to the defendant from her deceased husband had been disposed of except ! the house in question, which came into her possession at his death in 1849, and her duty, as executrix, was to dispose of it within a reasonable time, but supposing he allowed a year and a half. There was a mortgage on the house of £400, which at five per cent interest for a year and ahlf would be £430, and expenses of sale, if she had sold it, might raise the whole to £450. Now the house was valued at Mr. Barnes’s death in £531, which would be £80 more than the £450. The question was (considering Mr. Millett’s evidence as to the present value of the house, and the fact that mortgaged property sells below its value), whether they thought the house was worth more than £450 four years ago; for the point was, whether the defendant had any assets at the time of the commencement of this action, and what assets she might have had if there had been no laches in her sale of the property. – The jury retired from the court, and on returning estimated the value of the house at £53! 1, and found a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum claimed, ! £66, 6s 10d.; defendant, however, having leave to move on the points reserved. HORSEWELL v. HAMBLY. – This was asuit in equity. Mr. STOKES and Mr. E. CHILCOTT (of Tavistock) for plaintiff; Mr. HOCKIN and MR. ROBERTS for defendant. Plaintiff claimed from defendant, as agent of Bedford Consols, the sum of £40 19s. as his salary at three guineas per month, from November 1854, to December 1855. The plaintiff claimed this money on the ground that he had been appointed, and acted as captain of Bedford Consols, though his salary had never been fixed. The plaintiff’s case was heard on Wednesday afternoon, after which the court was adjourned. THURSDAY, MAY 8. OATES v. BARNES. – MR. HOCKIN moved for a rule nisi to show cause why the plaintiff should not be nonsuited. He moved on the points reserved: – first, that it was a case of cestui qui trust, seeking to recover from his trustee, upon which an action could not be brough at common law; secondly, that the plaintiff was not in a position to sue, inasmuch as he is not thelegal representative of his late wife; and thirdly, to show cause why a verdict should not be entered for the defendant, on the ground that she had paid monies beyond the assts, and therefore was entitled to retain that amount of the debt. – The VICE WARDEN granted a rule nisi. HORSEWILL v. HAMBLY.– This case, partly heard yesterday, was now proceeded with. We shall give a report of it next week. – The Vice-Warden deferred judgment. ____________________________________________________________ 53 Year Old Mom Looks 33 The Stunning Results of Her Wrinkle Trick Has Botox Doctors Worried http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL3241/4fea727c7db51e6bb54st01duc
