I just got back form enjoying California/s beautiful weather but I sure didn't like the traffic! I guess you have to give and take. Anyway Happy New Year to all list members and hope you find a few more ancestors this coming year. Connie from cold but sunny Utah Wow, in a couple of years are we going to have a 20th year reunion, like high school? Happy New Year everybody! I wish I could send you all some of our beautiful San Diego weather. Sunny and in the 70s until the middle of January, they say. Well, somebody has to put up with it......... Jan in San Diego

Sorry, but I made a mistake, My weeks transcription should read 1858, not 1848. Sorry about that, should have started the new year with the correct date - either it was too much wine over the festive season, or a slip of the hand. Anyway, regrets, it should read 8th January, 1858, not 1848.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, and hope all your trees grow and you find some of your ancestors from our transcriptions, find out what life was like 'way back then,' read some of their letters home, the places they emigrated to and how they fared. West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. 8th January, 1848. TRIALS OF PRISONERS - ELIZA CHEEVE, 19, pleaded guilty of stealing a silk shawl, on the 27th December, the property of EDWARD BENNETT. She also pleaded guilty of stealing at St. Austell on the 28th December, a pewter pint, the property of ROBERT DUNN. SUSAN THOMAS, 30, pleaded guilty of stealing at Liskeard, on the 6th November, two waistcoat pieces and a piece of cloth, the property of JAMES SOWDEN. She was also charged with stealing five plaid scarfs and a dress, the property of WILLIAM BARRETT, at Liskeard; but on this indictment no evidence was offered. FRANCES GLANVELL, 21, pleaded guilty of stealing (after a former conviction) a box, a half-crown, four shillings and six sixpences, on the 6th November, at Illogan, the property of JOHN THOMAS. JOHN CLARK, 47, gardener, pleaded guilty of embezzling the sum of GBP8. 18s. 8d., the property of his master, WILLIAM HENRY POLE CAREW, at Antony, on the 2nd of September last. SUSAN BLIGHT, a young married woman on bail, was charged with stealing from JAMES SAMPSON, a miner of St. Agnes, on the 21st of November, a number of current coin of the realm, value, GBP27, and also an American five cent. piece, the property of the said JAMES SAMPSON. Mr. STOKES conducted the prosecution; Mr. SHILSON the defence. JAMES SAMPSON, the prosecutor, stated that the prisoner was his nearest neighbour. In November last, he discovered that his chest, in which he had kept money locked up, had been broken open, and about GBP27 worth of gold and silver coins, one of which was an American five cent. piece, had been stolen. In the chest in which he kept his money, had also been a piece of paper of peculiar sort. NICHOLAS BRYANT, constable of St. Agnes, about seven o'clock in the morning of the 26th November, went with a search warrant to prisoner's house, in company with another constable. She said they were at liberty to search every part of the house. Shortly after they entered she went up stairs to dress her children. While she was up stairs, I searched one cupboard downstairs, and while doing so, I heard the noise of something falling into the other cupboard; I ran up stairs into the room were prisoner was; she was standing in the place where money had fallen into the cupboard below; she turned round as I came up and let fall a considerable lot of money on the floor, and she was rolling in her hand a piece of wet paper. I picked up from the floor of the room and the stairs, GBP5. 13s. I then went down stairs, and in the cupboard where I had heard something fall, I found GBP5. 4s. Both these sums were in sovereigns and silver. I then went up stairs with two females to search the prisoner, and in the pockets of her dress found three or four half-pence and an American silver coin. James Sampson recalled, identified the American coin, by a punch-hole in it. On Cross-Examination, he said he had about GBP40 in the box altogether. I have a wife and seven children, the eldest boy being about sixteen; the box is kept in the room in which I and my family sleep. I had not counted my money in my chest for a year and half or more; but on the 13th of November I put in 4 1/2 sovereigns, and then saw other gold and silver there. RICHARD HOOPER, a parish constable of St. Agnes, who accompanied Bryant on the search, corroborated his evidence. He added that while he was down stairs, a woman brought down the chamber utensil; he followed her to see it emptied, and saw that it contained a purse, and 28s. 4d. After that he went up stairs and found two sovereigns more on the floor. Cross-Examined. It was Bryant who told the prisoner to go up stairs and dress the children, who had followed her down, naked. For the defence, Mr. Shilson suggested that the evidence for the prosecution left it uncertain whether or not he had lost any money; but, assuming that he had, there was no evidence that the prisoner had ever been in prosecutor's house or knew anything about it; while it was proved that the box was kept under the bed in the room in which the prosecutor and all his family slept. Another fact for the defence was that though the prosecutor said he lost about GBP27, and that there was about GBP40 in the box, only GBP14. 5s. had been found in the prisoner's possession; while no evidence had been given to account for the remainder, or to show that it had been used by her. Mr. Shilson disputed the evidence of identity of the American coin; and suggested that the money she was apparently intending to secrete was about GBP14, which she possessed of her own, her husband being a miner, and which she was fearful of losing, on the arrival of the constables. If the money had been the prosecutor's, she could have no object in secreting it, as it was not capable of being identified; she would rather have directed her attention to the secreting of the American coin. In summing up, the Chairman put several points in favour of the prisoner, and from her examination before the magistrates said she stated she had saved up GBP14, and that when the constables came she was afraid of losing it, and was taking means of concealment when they came into her room; but on the other hand, it was unfavourable to her case that she made no mention of this when the house was searched. The Chairman further remarked that it was possible the robbery may have been committed by her husband, who was not before the court. - Verdict, Not Guilty. KITTING - JAMES TEAGUE, THOMAS COCK, and FRANCIS TEAGUE, young miners, were charged with stealing 20 cwt. of copper ore, from the Great South Tolgus mine at Redruth, on the 11th of September, the property of JOHN DAW and others, adventurers. Mr. STOKES conducted the prosecution; Mr. SHILSON the defence. Mr. Stokes opened the following case for the prosecution. The charge was of the offence commonly called "kitting" - the removing of ores in a mine for the purpose of increasing the wages payable on tribute to the parties charged. Exhibiting plans to the court and jury, Mr. Stokes stated that in the 70 fathoms level of this mine there were two pitches - one called Middletons or Cock's pitch, in which the prisoner Cock worked; and the other, on the other side of the shaft, called Davey's pitch, in which the two other prisoners worked. Middleton, who had worked with Cock in Middleton's pitch, had left the country and was believed to be in Australia. At the July setting for two months, Cock and Middleton took their pitch at 10s. in the pound, and Davey's pitch was taken by Davey and Teague at 12s. in the pound - high tributes, the ore being poor. Davey's pitch was an entirely new one; but Cock's or Middleton's had been worked before. In September, those two pairs of men claimed to have broken in their several pitches a very considerable quantity of very rich ore - more than 7 tons in Davey's pitch, and more than 6 1/2 in Middleton's pitch. Consequently, a large sum of money was paid to the prisoners, in respect of subsist and tribute; the captains at that time, though having their suspicions, having no such evidence as would warrant their withholding payment. The case against the prisoners would very much depend on the evidence of two men, named RICHARDS and PENGELLY, who were employed as skip-fillers in the 70 fathoms level; and they would state that they saw the three prisoners, in September, take the rich ore from the adventurers' piles, near the stopes, worked at tutwork, and carry it away to their own piles, in barrows, in their shirts and pockets, and by other means. The quantity charged to have been thus taken was very large indeed; it would be proved that the ground said to have been "spent" in Davey's pitch would not contain the dressed ore contained in Teague and Davey's pile, and on which they claimed and received payment. Proof of this kind could not be offered in respect of the pitch worked by Cock and Middleton; but it would be shown that the ores in both of the prisoner's pitches differed in colour as well as quality from the ores at the adventurers' stopes; and ores from the various places mentioned would be submitted to the jury. Evidence in the case was then given. The first witness called was Capt. JOHN DAW, manager of Great South Tolgus mine. In the course of his evidence, he stated that in September, at the close of their two months' take, Davey and Teague claimed to have broken in their pitch, 7 tons 6 cwt. 2 qrs. dry weight, which sold at GBP7. 12s. per ton; and the tribute paid to them after deducting for costs, was GBP28. 14s. 4d. Middleton and Cock claimed for 6 tons 12 cwt. 3 qrs. of ore, dry weight, which sold at GBP7. 12s. per ton; and the tribute paid to them after deducting for costs, was GBP28. 14s. 4d. Middleton and Cock claimed for 6 tons 12 cwt. 3 qrs. of ore, dry weight, which sold at GBP5. 1s. per ton; and they were paid a net tribute of GBP12. 10s. 6d. The produce of the ore claimed by Davey and Teague was 7 5/8 - a high produce. The produce of the ore claimed as from the other pitch was 5 1/2 a good produce. The ore at the stopes was a rich yellow ore, which in some places made a produce nine or ten, and in other places a produce of fifteen - a very high produce. On the prisoners' piles he saw rich yellow ore, which he was satisfied came from the stope4s in the 70-fathoms level, and could not have been broken in the prisoners' pitches. Evidence was also given by JOSEPH RICHARDS and THOMAS PENGELLY, skip-fillers, and by Captain JOSEPH JEWELL, managing agent of East Wheal Tolgus. A portion of the evidence of Captain Jewell was that on his measuring the ground which had been broken in Davey's pitch, he made it 82 1/2 cubic feet, which space could not possibly contain seven tons of dressed ore, irrespective of attle. The usual calculation was that about twenty cubic feet of dressed ore made a ton weight. Samples of ores were produced from the adventurers stopes, and from Middleton's and Davey's pitches. Mr. Shilson ably addressed the jury for the defence; and the Chairman summed up carefully, and in the course of doing so, strongly urged that, in cases of kitting, when samples of ore were taken from the levels or piles, this should be done in the presence of the accused or suspected parties; which had not been done in the present case. The Jury, after nearly half an hour's conference in their box, retired for further consultation, and after an absence of nearly an hour, they returned into court, with a verdict finding all three prisoners Guilty. WILLIAM HENRY PARNELL was charged with stealing thirty-six bushels of barley, the property of JOHN HAWKEN, jun. Mr. G. B. COLLINS conducted the prosecution; Mr. STOKES the defence. In this case, both the prosecutor and the prisoner were respectable merchants of Wadebridge, engaged in the purchase and shipment of corn. After the examination of several witnesses for the prosecution, the Chairman, on the facts elicited, stopped the case and directed a verdict of Acquittal, on the ground that there seemed to have been a dispute as to the purchase of some barley, but that clearly there was no felony. We were informed that the clergyman of St. Breock and many respectable merchants and other inhabitants of Wadebridge were waiting in court to give the prisoner an excellent character, had he been called for defence; they would have stated, we understand, that in his commercial transactions he had never been found other than honest and upright. Mr. LETHBRIDGE here retired from the chair, which was occupied, during the remainder of the sitting, by JOHN JOPE ROGERS, Esq. PAUL GLAZER, 39, hawker, was indicted for uttering at St. Agnes, on the 6th of November, a counterfeit half-crown to ELIZABETH TERRELL; a counterfeit crown to JOHN TREDINNICK; and a counterfeit half-crown to ANN LANGWORTHY; these parties being shop keepers. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner by numerous witnesses, some of whom he addressed ad cross-examined with an almost religious solemnity of voice and manner, and, in one instance, with an impressive adjuration not to think of deceiving the One above. The evidence against him was closed by his own statement before the committing magistrate at Truro, in which he acknowledged having passed the counterfeit coins, as charged, adding that he bought the so-called half-crowns at sixpence each, and the counterfeit crown for tenpence. Verdict Guilty. WILLIAM BARRETT, 20, horsetrainer, was found guilty of stealing, on the 16th November last, at Bodwen[?] in the parish of Lanlivery, a beaver hat and a chip hat, the property of Mr. JOHN CORY. A prior conviction was proved against him at the assizes in July, 1853[?] when he was sentenced to seven years transportation. HENRY DAY, 30 plumber, was charged with stealing, at Tregothnan, two pieces of lead and one piece of iron pipe, the property of the Right Honourable EVELYN, Viscount Falmouth. Mr. CHILDS conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. SHILSON. Evidence in the case was given by JOHN MAC LEAN, plumber and brazier, of Truro (the prisoner's employer at the time of the felony); WILLIAM HENRY RANDALL, an apprentice to Mr. Mac Lean; WILLIAM JOSEPH NASH, superintendent of police at Truro; WILLIAM WOOLCOCK, serjeant of police at Truro; HENRY BAKER, shoemaker, who had been in custody on a charge of feloniously received lead and iron from the prisoner, but was now admitted as Queen's evidence against him; and HENRY IVEY, watchmaker and whitesmith of Truro. Evidence in favour of prisoner's previous character, from boyhood, was given by WILLIAM PLYMING of Truro, formerly a contractor for the conveyance of prisoners; and it was stated that JOSEPH TRENERRY of Truro had waited until a late hour of the day for the purpose of giving similar testimony. Verdict, Guilty. There was another indictment against the prisoner charging him with stealing lead, the property of Mr. Mac Lean; but on this indictment no evidence was offered. Bills against the following prisoners were ignored:- MATTHEW STEPHENS; THOMAS TRATHEN; JOHN MINERS, JAMES MATTHEWS and JOSEPH SECCOMBE. SOLOMON MARTIN, 24, labourer, was indicted for stealing a donkey, the property for JOHN RICHARDS, on the 31st of October. Mr. COMMINS for the prosecution, and Mr. CHILDS for the defence. Prosecutor, who lives in Wendron, had a donkey called "Billy," which used to follow him. He turned the donkey on the common, and missed him for some time, but on the 6th of November found the animal at Lanner, in Gwennap, and on calling him, the donkey at once came to his master. ELEANOR KNEEBONE, at Lanner, had purchased the donkey of the prisoner. The defence was, that the prisoner found the donkey straying and could not discover the owner. JOHN THOMAS, constable at Ponsanooth, and two farmers of Stithians gave the prisoner a good character. Verdict, Guilty. SARAH MOYLE, and HARRIET MOYLE, 18, a tailoress, mother and daughter, were indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of THOMAS BROWN, at Penryn, and stealing therefrom a silver watch, guard-chain and keys, a purse and sovereign. Another count charged larceny, and a third count, receiving knowing to have been stolen. Mr. JENKINS conducted the prosecution, and called as witnesses Mrs. ELIZABETH BROWN, wife of prosecutor, her sister JANE PEARCE, and police-constable WHITE. The prisoners were undefended. It appeared that on Sunday afternoon, the 8th of November, one of the prisoners, Harriet Moyle, who was a neighbour of prosecutor, came into Mrs. Brown's house at Penryn, and whilst there, Mrs. Brown took out of her pocket a bead purse containing a sovereign. Harriet Moyle asked to see it, and after looking at the purse, returned it to Mrs. Brown, who placed it in a cupboard. About half-past three, they both left the house, and the watch was then hanging over the mantel-piece. Mrs. Brown locked the door and took the key with her. The window had been fastened in the morning, but Mrs. Brown said, whilst she was up-stairs, Harriet Moyle might have unfastened it. Mrs. Brown returned home about half-past eleven, when she observed that the window curtain was down, but the door was locked. She missed her watch and chain, and the purse and sovereign. She went to Moyle's house, and charged Harriet Moyle with robbing her, which she denied. The assistance of police constable White was then obtained and in consequence of what had been seen by Jane Pearce, prosecutor's watch and part of the guard were found in the fire in prisoners' house. Harriet Moyle admitted that she had change the sovereign, and spent a penny or two; and Sarah Moyle produced 19s. and some pence from the end of a white handkerchief. Both prisoners were found Guilty on the first count for breaking and entering. THOMAS BARRETT was charged with stealing, on the 23rd of October, two pieces of timber, the property of the Cornwall Railway Company; and in a second count with receiving, knowing the timber to have been stolen. Mr. CORNISH for the prosecution, and Mr. CHILDS for the prisoner. In erecting the bridge at Saltash, the company have been using a great deal of scaffolding. One of the tubes having been completed, the scaffolding was taken to pieces, and the timber stacked on the bank of the river. From time to time some of the balk had been stolen; a search warrant was obtained, and in prisoner's carpenter's shop, timber was found which Mr. WHITING, the foreman of the railway works at Saltash, was enabled to identify as the property of the company. The defence was, that the prisoner had purchased the timber of a merchant at Devon port, and Mr. Childs, in an able speech, urged that there was no attempt at concealment by his client, and that the lapse of time (about four months) before the timber was found, was such that he ought not to be called to account for its possession. The Chairman summed up in the prisoner's favour, and the jury gave a verdict of Not Guilty. WILLIAM DAVEY, 32 labourer, was charged with stealing a pair of boots, the property of JOSEPH TRENERRY, at Redruth, on the 30th of October last. Mr. CORNISH prosecuted. Prosecutor lives at Truro, and is in the habit of attending Redruth market, and on the day in question his wife was there with a standing. The prisoner was seen loitering about the standing, and subsequently came and stood close by. Prosecutor's wife asked him if he wanted a pair of boots, but he made no reply. He left, and shortly after she discovered that a pair of boots, which were on the end of the standing near where the prisoner was, had been taken away. He was apprehended by Sergeant COOMB[S ?] of the county constabulary, with the boots on his feet. Prisoner in defence said he bought the boots of the prosecutor's wife, and gave 8s. 6d. for them, which she emphatically denied. Verdict Guilty. THOMAS SMITH, 22, seaman, was indicted for stealing nine sovereigns, a pair of boots, and a key, the property of ETIENE ROGERS, at Falmouth, on the 10th of December. The felony was committed whilst the prisoner was lodging at Radford's lodging-house, at Falmouth. Prisoner received the key of prosecutor's chest to give to a little boy to take some money out for prosecutor, but instead of giving the key to the boy as requested, he unlocked the chest and helped himself to the articles set out in the indictment. He proceeded to Penryn, where he was apprehended, and in the examination before the magistrates, (which was put in as evidence) he admitted taking GBP3. 12s. 6d., and the boots. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. SAMUEL HOSKIN, described in the calendar as of the age of 13, and a labourer, but presented the appearance of being much younger, was charged with assaulting, stabbing, cutting, and wounding RICHARD NICHOLLS, a boy of about the same age, at Mawgan, on the 30th of October. In the evening of that day, JOHN NICHOLLS was at the house of JANE HOSKIN the prisoner's mother, in company with another lad named FREDERICK JOHN CRAPP, playing at cards, when Nicholls's brothers, Richard and William came to the house, and commenced holloaing and making a noise outside the window. The prisoner with John Nicholls went outside; a chase ensued, and ultimately a general fight took place between the boys. In the scuffle, the prisoner drew a knife from his pocket and stabbed his opponent Richard Nicholls, in the side of the abdomen. Mr. T. DARKE MARTIN, surgeon, of St. Columb, was called in, but he found the would very trifling, or at least anticipated no danger, and therefore did not repeat his visit. Mr. G. B. COLLINS prosecuted. Mr. CHILDS in defending the prisoner remarked, that the case although made out on parchment as a serious one, was truly of a trifling character. He asked the jury for an immediate acquittal, and suggested that a severe chastisement by the prisoner's parents at home, would have been far better than bringing a child of his age into court on such a charge. The Chairman likewise said there appeared to have been no felonious intent on the prisoner's part, and he thought the highest verdict the jury could arrive at, would be that of a common assault. He also stated that the prisoner had been in gaol every since the offence was committed. A verdict of acquittal was returned. MATTHIAS JOLL pleaded guilty of stealing the sum of GBP2. 10s. from his master, JAMES RUNDLE, of Linkinhorne. SAMUEL MICHELL, 20, labourer, pleaded guilty of embezzling monies the property of his master, JAMES BAKER, of Tintagle. JOSEPH DOWDLE, 18, soldier of the 37th regiment, and appearing in his regimental uniform, was charged with killing a ewe sheep and stealing a shoulder thereof, the property of the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, at Maker, on the 20th November last. Mr. CHILDS prosecuted; the prisoner was undefended. The jury did not consider the evidence conclusive, and acquitted the prisoner. There was another charge against him as accessory after the fact, but on this no evidence was officer. CAUTION TO YOUNG SPORTSMEN - On Saturday last, Mr. RICHARD ARNALL, second son of Mr. THOMAS ARNELL, Tolgus House, near Redruth, was preparing for a day's sport; he had fired a blank charge to clear his gun, and was in the act of reloading, when by some means the charge of powder exploded, blew the powder flask to atoms, and shattered his arm from the thumb to the elbow in a shocking manner. We are, however, happy to say that he is progressing favourably. APPOINTMENT - The London Gazette of the 25th ult., announces the Queen's approval of Mr. RICHART R. BROAD, jun., as Vice Consul at Falmouth for the Republic of Salvador. THE CUSTOMS - Mr. J. FOYSTER, comptroller at Falmouth, is appointed collector at Ramsgate; and Mr. J. GLASSON, comptroller at Lynn, has been appointed comptroller at Falmouth. NEWLYN - As a remarkable instance of the mildness of the season previous to the last few days, we may mention that in the garden of Mr. RABY, close to the village of Newlyn, was to be seen an apple of the second bearing, as large as the top of a man's thumb. PENRYN POLICE - FRANCIS BRADDON, assistant paymaster of H.M. ship "Eagle," was summoned by police constable WHITE to appear on Wednesday the 30th ult. For being drunk in this borough on the 11th of December, at midnight. Mr. Braddon not being prepared with his defence, the case was adjourned until Thursday the 31st when Mr. Braddon made his appearance before Mr. J. B. REED, mayor, Mr. E. TEAGUE, and Mr. S. STEPHENS, magistrates, to answer the charge. The magistrates considered the case proved, and find the defendant five shillings and costs. Mr. JENKINS appeared for the complainant and Mr. TILLY for the defendant. On the 30th ult., before Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, Mr. JOHN BORLASE, and Mr. F. M. WILLIAMS, county magistrates, WILLIAM WHITE, one of the police officers of Penryn, was charged with an assault on Mr. FRANCIS BRADDON, on the night of the 11th of December, in the parish of Budock. It was the same occasion as that in which Mr. Braddon had been charged by the policeman with being drunk. Mr. TILLY appeared for the complainant, and Mr. JENKINS defended White. Evidence was given on both sides, and the Bench, after a short consultation, dismissed the complaint. (We have received a long report of the case, but the space occupied by the sessions proceedings, prevents its insertion. CASE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING. At Carnbell Green, in the parish of Gwinear, WILLIAM HARVEY and WILLIAM EVA, miners, were drinking on Saturday last at the Pendarves Arms, kept by Mrs. HAMBLY, until about 10 p.m. when Harvey left, and soon afterwards Eva left and passed Harvey in the road talking to another man. Eva had not gone far before he was overtaken by Harvey, and on going along the road something came up about fighting; Eva and Harvey had two or three quarrels previous to this, and each considered himself as good a man as the other. A challenge was then given, and they both went into a field to fight, and a person named HOSKINS was to stand at a distance to see that there was "fair play". After one round Eva appeared to be the "best man," and others who had by this time come up, endeavoured to persuade him to home, but he would not, and Harvey not being willing to give in, said he would give him another round, when after a few blows, they caught hold of each other and fell into the hedge, Harvey being under, when he with a knife or some sharp instrument, inflicted from fifteen to twenty wounds on Eva, cutting him in a most unmerciful manner about the neck and body. On Eva being taken up he was discovered to be bleeding dreadfully; he had been cut with a knife, and went after Harvey and told him he had cut him to ribbons. Eva was then taken back to the public house, and Mr. THOMAS HAMBLY, to whom great praise is due for his exertions, was enabled after some delay to obtain the services of Mr. VINCENT, surgeon, at Camborne, who on coming found Eva in a most dangerous state. Some of the wounds were very deep, especially a stab in the neck, which had it been the 16th part of an inch in another direction, would have cut the leading artery, and death must have immediately followed. Mr. MILLER, superintendent, proceeded to the house of Harvey at Gwinear, and took him into custody. He was conveyed to Camborne, and remanded till the 8th instant. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. MOSES CALLAWAY cut his throat with a razor on Friday morning last, at his daughter's residence, in Gulval Church Town. The wound was deep, but surgical aid being quickly obtained his life was saved. His mind for some time has shown symptoms of derangement and he has now been sent to the asylum. NARROW ESCAPE. On Sunday last, as Mr. GRIGG and Mr. MENHENICK, farmers of Creed, and two ladies, were proceeding to Probus church, through neglect of putting on the drag at the top of Grampound hill, the horse, a powerful animal, became quite unmanageable, and carried them down the hill at a furious rate, causing great alarm and anxiety to the inhabitants. Fortunately there was nothing passing at the time, and the horse was brought up at the foot of the hill without causing any material injury. CORONER'S INQUEST. The following inquest has been held by Mr. J. CARLYON, county coroner:- On Thursday last, at Trerew Farm, IN THE PARISH OF Crantock, on the body of Mr. ARTHUR SLEEMAN, aged 54 years, who was killed the day before, by being thrown out of his cart, under the following circumstances. It appeared that he had gone with his horse and cart to a place called Shop, in the parish St. Columb Minor, to fetch a winnowing machine. On his way back, the horse, which was a high spirited animal ran off, and the deceased who was riding on the front part of the cart was thrown out and so seriously injured that he died before he could be taken home. Verdict "accidental death." West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. 8th January, 1848. TRIALS OF PRISONERS - ELIZA CHEEVE, 19, pleaded guilty of stealing a silk shawl, on the 27th December, the property of EDWARD BENNETT. She also pleaded guilty of stealing at St. Austell on the 28th December, a pewter pint, the property of ROBERT DUNN. SUSAN THOMAS, 30, pleaded guilty of stealing at Liskeard, on the 6th November, two waistcoat pieces and a piece of cloth, the property of JAMES SOWDEN. She was also charged with stealing five plaid scarfs and a dress, the property of WILLIAM BARRETT, at Liskeard; but on this indictment no evidence was offered. FRANCES GLANVELL, 21, pleaded guilty of stealing (after a former conviction) a box, a half-crown, four shillings and six sixpences, on the 6th November, at Illogan, the property of JOHN THOMAS. JOHN CLARK, 47, gardener, pleaded guilty of embezzling the sum of GBP8. 18s. 8d., the property of his master, WILLIAM HENRY POLE CAREW, at Antony, on the 2nd of September last. SUSAN BLIGHT, a young married woman on bail, was charged with stealing from JAMES SAMPSON, a miner of St. Agnes, on the 21st of November, a number of current coin of the realm, value, GBP27, and also an American five cent. piece, the property of the said JAMES SAMPSON. Mr. STOKES conducted the prosecution; Mr. SHILSON the defence. JAMES SAMPSON, the prosecutor, stated that the prisoner was his nearest neighbour. In November last, he discovered that his chest, in which he had kept money locked up, had been broken open, and about GBP27 worth of gold and silver coins, one of which was an American five cent. piece, had been stolen. In the chest in which he kept his money, had also been a piece of paper of peculiar sort. NICHOLAS BRYANT, constable of St. Agnes, about seven o'clock in the morning of the 26th November, went with a search warrant to prisoner's house, in company with another constable. She said they were at liberty to search every part of the house. Shortly after they entered she went up stairs to dress her children. While she was up stairs, I searched one cupboard downstairs, and while doing so, I heard the noise of something falling into the other cupboard; I ran up stairs into the room were prisoner was; she was standing in the place where money had fallen into the cupboard below; she turned round as I came up and let fall a considerable lot of money on the floor, and she was rolling in her hand a piece of wet paper. I picked up from the floor of the room and the stairs, GBP5. 13s. I then went down stairs, and in the cupboard where I had heard something fall, I found GBP5. 4s. Both these sums were in sovereigns and silver. I then went up stairs with two females to search the prisoner, and in the pockets of her dress found three or four half-pence and an American silver coin. James Sampson recalled, identified the American coin, by a punch-hole in it. On Cross-Examination, he said he had about GBP40 in the box altogether. I have a wife and seven children, the eldest boy being about sixteen; the box is kept in the room in which I and my family sleep. I had not counted my money in my chest for a year and half or more; but on the 13th of November I put in 4 1/2 sovereigns, and then saw other gold and silver there. RICHARD HOOPER, a parish constable of St. Agnes, who accompanied Bryant on the search, corroborated his evidence. He added that while he was down stairs, a woman brought down the chamber utensil; he followed her to see it emptied, and saw that it contained a purse, and 28s. 4d. After that he went up stairs and found two sovereigns more on the floor. Cross-Examined. It was Bryant who told the prisoner to go up stairs and dress the children, who had followed her down, naked. For the defence, Mr. Shilson suggested that the evidence for the prosecution left it uncertain whether or not he had lost any money; but, assuming that he had, there was no evidence that the prisoner had ever been in prosecutor's house or knew anything about it; while it was proved that the box was kept under the bed in the room in which the prosecutor and all his family slept. Another fact for the defence was that though the prosecutor said he lost about GBP27, and that there was about GBP40 in the box, only GBP14. 5s. had been found in the prisoner's possession; while no evidence had been given to account for the remainder, or to show that it had been used by her. Mr. Shilson disputed the evidence of identity of the American coin; and suggested that the money she was apparently intending to secrete was about GBP14, which she possessed of her own, her husband being a miner, and which she was fearful of losing, on the arrival of the constables. If the money had been the prosecutor's, she could have no object in secreting it, as it was not capable of being identified; she would rather have directed her attention to the secreting of the American coin. In summing up, the Chairman put several points in favour of the prisoner, and from her examination before the magistrates said she stated she had saved up GBP14, and that when the constables came she was afraid of losing it, and was taking means of concealment when they came into her room; but on the other hand, it was unfavourable to her case that she made no mention of this when the house was searched. The Chairman further remarked that it was possible the robbery may have been committed by her husband, who was not before the court. - Verdict, Not Guilty. KITTING - JAMES TEAGUE, THOMAS COCK, and FRANCIS TEAGUE, young miners, were charged with stealing 20 cwt. of copper ore, from the Great South Tolgus mine at Redruth, on the 11th of September, the property of JOHN DAW and others, adventurers. Mr. STOKES conducted the prosecution; Mr. SHILSON the defence. Mr. Stokes opened the following case for the prosecution. The charge was of the offence commonly called "kitting" - the removing of ores in a mine for the purpose of increasing the wages payable on tribute to the parties charged. Exhibiting plans to the court and jury, Mr. Stokes stated that in the 70 fathoms level of this mine there were two pitches - one called Middletons or Cock's pitch, in which the prisoner Cock worked; and the other, on the other side of the shaft, called Davey's pitch, in which the two other prisoners worked. Middleton, who had worked with Cock in Middleton's pitch, had left the country and was believed to be in Australia. At the July setting for two months, Cock and Middleton took their pitch at 10s. in the pound, and Davey's pitch was taken by Davey and Teague at 12s. in the pound - high tributes, the ore being poor. Davey's pitch was an entirely new one; but Cock's or Middleton's had been worked before. In September, those two pairs of men claimed to have broken in their several pitches a very considerable quantity of very rich ore - more than 7 tons in Davey's pitch, and more than 6 1/2 in Middleton's pitch. Consequently, a large sum of money was paid to the prisoners, in respect of subsist and tribute; the captains at that time, though having their suspicions, having no such evidence as would warrant their withholding payment. The case against the prisoners would very much depend on the evidence of two men, named RICHARDS and PENGELLY, who were employed as skip-fillers in the 70 fathoms level; and they would state that they saw the three prisoners, in September, take the rich ore from the adventurers' piles, near the stopes, worked at tutwork, and carry it away to their own piles, in barrows, in their shirts and pockets, and by other means. The quantity charged to have been thus taken was very large indeed; it would be proved that the ground said to have been "spent" in Davey's pitch would not contain the dressed ore contained in Teague and Davey's pile, and on which they claimed and received payment. Proof of this kind could not be offered in respect of the pitch worked by Cock and Middleton; but it would be shown that the ores in both of the prisoner's pitches differed in colour as well as quality from the ores at the adventurers' stopes; and ores from the various places mentioned would be submitted to the jury. Evidence in the case was then given. The first witness called was Capt. JOHN DAW, manager of Great South Tolgus mine. In the course of his evidence, he stated that in September, at the close of their two months' take, Davey and Teague claimed to have broken in their pitch, 7 tons 6 cwt. 2 qrs. dry weight, which sold at GBP7. 12s. per ton; and the tribute paid to them after deducting for costs, was GBP28. 14s. 4d. Middleton and Cock claimed for 6 tons 12 cwt. 3 qrs. of ore, dry weight, which sold at GBP7. 12s. per ton; and the tribute paid to them after deducting for costs, was GBP28. 14s. 4d. Middleton and Cock claimed for 6 tons 12 cwt. 3 qrs. of ore, dry weight, which sold at GBP5. 1s. per ton; and they were paid a net tribute of GBP12. 10s. 6d. The produce of the ore claimed by Davey and Teague was 7 5/8 - a high produce. The produce of the ore claimed as from the other pitch was 5 1/2 a good produce. The ore at the stopes was a rich yellow ore, which in some places made a produce nine or ten, and in other places a produce of fifteen - a very high produce. On the prisoners' piles he saw rich yellow ore, which he was satisfied came from the stope4s in the 70-fathoms level, and could not have been broken in the prisoners' pitches. Evidence was also given by JOSEPH RICHARDS and THOMAS PENGELLY, skip-fillers, and by Captain JOSEPH JEWELL, managing agent of East Wheal Tolgus. A portion of the evidence of Captain Jewell was that on his measuring the ground which had been broken in Davey's pitch, he made it 82 1/2 cubic feet, which space could not possibly contain seven tons of dressed ore, irrespective of attle. The usual calculation was that about twenty cubic feet of dressed ore made a ton weight. Samples of ores were produced from the adventurers stopes, and from Middleton's and Davey's pitches. Mr. Shilson ably addressed the jury for the defence; and the Chairman summed up carefully, and in the course of doing so, strongly urged that, in cases of kitting, when samples of ore were taken from the levels or piles, this should be done in the presence of the accused or suspected parties; which had not been done in the present case. The Jury, after nearly half an hour's conference in their box, retired for further consultation, and after an absence of nearly an hour, they returned into court, with a verdict finding all three prisoners Guilty. WILLIAM HENRY PARNELL was charged with stealing thirty-six bushels of barley, the property of JOHN HAWKEN, jun. Mr. G. B. COLLINS conducted the prosecution; Mr. STOKES the defence. In this case, both the prosecutor and the prisoner were respectable merchants of Wadebridge, engaged in the purchase and shipment of corn. After the examination of several witnesses for the prosecution, the Chairman, on the facts elicited, stopped the case and directed a verdict of Acquittal, on the ground that there seemed to have been a dispute as to the purchase of some barley, but that clearly there was no felony. We were informed that the clergyman of St. Breock and many respectable merchants and other inhabitants of Wadebridge were waiting in court to give the prisoner an excellent character, had he been called for defence; they would have stated, we understand, that in his commercial transactions he had never been found other than honest and upright. Mr. LETHBRIDGE here retired from the chair, which was occupied, during the remainder of the sitting, by JOHN JOPE ROGERS, Esq. PAUL GLAZER, 39, hawker, was indicted for uttering at St. Agnes, on the 6th of November, a counterfeit half-crown to ELIZABETH TERRELL; a counterfeit crown to JOHN TREDINNICK; and a counterfeit half-crown to ANN LANGWORTHY; these parties being shop keepers. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner by numerous witnesses, some of whom he addressed ad cross-examined with an almost religious solemnity of voice and manner, and, in one instance, with an impressive adjuration not to think of deceiving the One above. The evidence against him was closed by his own statement before the committing magistrate at Truro, in which he acknowledged having passed the counterfeit coins, as charged, adding that he bought the so-called half-crowns at sixpence each, and the counterfeit crown for tenpence. Verdict Guilty. WILLIAM BARRETT, 20, horsetrainer, was found guilty of stealing, on the 16th November last, at Bodwen[?] in the parish of Lanlivery, a beaver hat and a chip hat, the property of Mr. JOHN CORY. A prior conviction was proved against him at the assizes in July, 1853[?] when he was sentenced to seven years transportation. HENRY DAY, 30 plumber, was charged with stealing, at Tregothnan, two pieces of lead and one piece of iron pipe, the property of the Right Honourable EVELYN, Viscount Falmouth. Mr. CHILDS conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. SHILSON. Evidence in the case was given by JOHN MAC LEAN, plumber and brazier, of Truro (the prisoner's employer at the time of the felony); WILLIAM HENRY RANDALL, an apprentice to Mr. Mac Lean; WILLIAM JOSEPH NASH, superintendent of police at Truro; WILLIAM WOOLCOCK, serjeant of police at Truro; HENRY BAKER, shoemaker, who had been in custody on a charge of feloniously received lead and iron from the prisoner, but was now admitted as Queen's evidence against him; and HENRY IVEY, watchmaker and whitesmith of Truro. Evidence in favour of prisoner's previous character, from boyhood, was given by WILLIAM PLYMING of Truro, formerly a contractor for the conveyance of prisoners; and it was stated that JOSEPH TRENERRY of Truro had waited until a late hour of the day for the purpose of giving similar testimony. Verdict, Guilty. There was another indictment against the prisoner charging him with stealing lead, the property of Mr. Mac Lean; but on this indictment no evidence was offered. Bills against the following prisoners were ignored:- MATTHEW STEPHENS; THOMAS TRATHEN; JOHN MINERS, JAMES MATTHEWS and JOSEPH SECCOMBE. SOLOMON MARTIN, 24, labourer, was indicted for stealing a donkey, the property for JOHN RICHARDS, on the 31st of October. Mr. COMMINS for the prosecution, and Mr. CHILDS for the defence. Prosecutor, who lives in Wendron, had a donkey called "Billy," which used to follow him. He turned the donkey on the common, and missed him for some time, but on the 6th of November found the animal at Lanner, in Gwennap, and on calling him, the donkey at once came to his master. ELEANOR KNEEBONE, at Lanner, had purchased the donkey of the prisoner. The defence was, that the prisoner found the donkey straying and could not discover the owner. JOHN THOMAS, constable at Ponsanooth, and two farmers of Stithians gave the prisoner a good character. Verdict, Guilty. SARAH MOYLE, and HARRIET MOYLE, 18, a tailoress, mother and daughter, were indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of THOMAS BROWN, at Penryn, and stealing therefrom a silver watch, guard-chain and keys, a purse and sovereign. Another count charged larceny, and a third count, receiving knowing to have been stolen. Mr. JENKINS conducted the prosecution, and called as witnesses Mrs. ELIZABETH BROWN, wife of prosecutor, her sister JANE PEARCE, and police-constable WHITE. The prisoners were undefended. It appeared that on Sunday afternoon, the 8th of November, one of the prisoners, Harriet Moyle, who was a neighbour of prosecutor, came into Mrs. Brown's house at Penryn, and whilst there, Mrs. Brown took out of her pocket a bead purse containing a sovereign. Harriet Moyle asked to see it, and after looking at the purse, returned it to Mrs. Brown, who placed it in a cupboard. About half-past three, they both left the house, and the watch was then hanging over the mantel-piece. Mrs. Brown locked the door and took the key with her. The window had been fastened in the morning, but Mrs. Brown said, whilst she was up-stairs, Harriet Moyle might have unfastened it. Mrs. Brown returned home about half-past eleven, when she observed that the window curtain was down, but the door was locked. She missed her watch and chain, and the purse and sovereign. She went to Moyle's house, and charged Harriet Moyle with robbing her, which she denied. The assistance of police constable White was then obtained and in consequence of what had been seen by Jane Pearce, prosecutor's watch and part of the guard were found in the fire in prisoners' house. Harriet Moyle admitted that she had change the sovereign, and spent a penny or two; and Sarah Moyle produced 19s. and some pence from the end of a white handkerchief. Both prisoners were found Guilty on the first count for breaking and entering. THOMAS BARRETT was charged with stealing, on the 23rd of October, two pieces of timber, the property of the Cornwall Railway Company; and in a second count with receiving, knowing the timber to have been stolen. Mr. CORNISH for the prosecution, and Mr. CHILDS for the prisoner. In erecting the bridge at Saltash, the company have been using a great deal of scaffolding. One of the tubes having been completed, the scaffolding was taken to pieces, and the timber stacked on the bank of the river. From time to time some of the balk had been stolen; a search warrant was obtained, and in prisoner's carpenter's shop, timber was found which Mr. WHITING, the foreman of the railway works at Saltash, was enabled to identify as the property of the company. The defence was, that the prisoner had purchased the timber of a merchant at Devon port, and Mr. Childs, in an able speech, urged that there was no attempt at concealment by his client, and that the lapse of time (about four months) before the timber was found, was such that he ought not to be called to account for its possession. The Chairman summed up in the prisoner's favour, and the jury gave a verdict of Not Guilty. WILLIAM DAVEY, 32 labourer, was charged with stealing a pair of boots, the property of JOSEPH TRENERRY, at Redruth, on the 30th of October last. Mr. CORNISH prosecuted. Prosecutor lives at Truro, and is in the habit of attending Redruth market, and on the day in question his wife was there with a standing. The prisoner was seen loitering about the standing, and subsequently came and stood close by. Prosecutor's wife asked him if he wanted a pair of boots, but he made no reply. He left, and shortly after she discovered that a pair of boots, which were on the end of the standing near where the prisoner was, had been taken away. He was apprehended by Sergeant COOMB[S ?] of the county constabulary, with the boots on his feet. Prisoner in defence said he bought the boots of the prosecutor's wife, and gave 8s. 6d. for them, which she emphatically denied. Verdict Guilty. THOMAS SMITH, 22, seaman, was indicted for stealing nine sovereigns, a pair of boots, and a key, the property of ETIENE ROGERS, at Falmouth, on the 10th of December. The felony was committed whilst the prisoner was lodging at Radford's lodging-house, at Falmouth. Prisoner received the key of prosecutor's chest to give to a little boy to take some money out for prosecutor, but instead of giving the key to the boy as requested, he unlocked the chest and helped himself to the articles set out in the indictment. He proceeded to Penryn, where he was apprehended, and in the examination before the magistrates, (which was put in as evidence) he admitted taking GBP3. 12s. 6d., and the boots. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. SAMUEL HOSKIN, described in the calendar as of the age of 13, and a labourer, but presented the appearance of being much younger, was charged with assaulting, stabbing, cutting, and wounding RICHARD NICHOLLS, a boy of about the same age, at Mawgan, on the 30th of October. In the evening of that day, JOHN NICHOLLS was at the house of JANE HOSKIN the prisoner's mother, in company with another lad named FREDERICK JOHN CRAPP, playing at cards, when Nicholls's brothers, Richard and William came to the house, and commenced holloaing and making a noise outside the window. The prisoner with John Nicholls went outside; a chase ensued, and ultimately a general fight took place between the boys. In the scuffle, the prisoner drew a knife from his pocket and stabbed his opponent Richard Nicholls, in the side of the abdomen. Mr. T. DARKE MARTIN, surgeon, of St. Columb, was called in, but he found the would very trifling, or at least anticipated no danger, and therefore did not repeat his visit. Mr. G. B. COLLINS prosecuted. Mr. CHILDS in defending the prisoner remarked, that the case although made out on parchment as a serious one, was truly of a trifling character. He asked the jury for an immediate acquittal, and suggested that a severe chastisement by the prisoner's parents at home, would have been far better than bringing a child of his age into court on such a charge. The Chairman likewise said there appeared to have been no felonious intent on the prisoner's part, and he thought the highest verdict the jury could arrive at, would be that of a common assault. He also stated that the prisoner had been in gaol every since the offence was committed. A verdict of acquittal was returned. MATTHIAS JOLL pleaded guilty of stealing the sum of GBP2. 10s. from his master, JAMES RUNDLE, of Linkinhorne. SAMUEL MICHELL, 20, labourer, pleaded guilty of embezzling monies the property of his master, JAMES BAKER, of Tintagle. JOSEPH DOWDLE, 18, soldier of the 37th regiment, and appearing in his regimental uniform, was charged with killing a ewe sheep and stealing a shoulder thereof, the property of the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, at Maker, on the 20th November last. Mr. CHILDS prosecuted; the prisoner was undefended. The jury did not consider the evidence conclusive, and acquitted the prisoner. There was another charge against him as accessory after the fact, but on this no evidence was officer. CAUTION TO YOUNG SPORTSMEN - On Saturday last, Mr. RICHARD ARNALL, second son of Mr. THOMAS ARNELL, Tolgus House, near Redruth, was preparing for a day's sport; he had fired a blank charge to clear his gun, and was in the act of reloading, when by some means the charge of powder exploded, blew the powder flask to atoms, and shattered his arm from the thumb to the elbow in a shocking manner. We are, however, happy to say that he is progressing favourably. APPOINTMENT - The London Gazette of the 25th ult., announces the Queen's approval of Mr. RICHART R. BROAD, jun., as Vice Consul at Falmouth for the Republic of Salvador. THE CUSTOMS - Mr. J. FOYSTER, comptroller at Falmouth, is appointed collector at Ramsgate; and Mr. J. GLASSON, comptroller at Lynn, has been appointed comptroller at Falmouth. NEWLYN - As a remarkable instance of the mildness of the season previous to the last few days, we may mention that in the garden of Mr. RABY, close to the village of Newlyn, was to be seen an apple of the second bearing, as large as the top of a man's thumb. PENRYN POLICE - FRANCIS BRADDON, assistant paymaster of H.M. ship "Eagle," was summoned by police constable WHITE to appear on Wednesday the 30th ult. For being drunk in this borough on the 11th of December, at midnight. Mr. Braddon not being prepared with his defence, the case was adjourned until Thursday the 31st when Mr. Braddon made his appearance before Mr. J. B. REED, mayor, Mr. E. TEAGUE, and Mr. S. STEPHENS, magistrates, to answer the charge. The magistrates considered the case proved, and find the defendant five shillings and costs. Mr. JENKINS appeared for the complainant and Mr. TILLY for the defendant. On the 30th ult., before Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, Mr. JOHN BORLASE, and Mr. F. M. WILLIAMS, county magistrates, WILLIAM WHITE, one of the police officers of Penryn, was charged with an assault on Mr. FRANCIS BRADDON, on the night of the 11th of December, in the parish of Budock. It was the same occasion as that in which Mr. Braddon had been charged by the policeman with being drunk. Mr. TILLY appeared for the complainant, and Mr. JENKINS defended White. Evidence was given on both sides, and the Bench, after a short consultation, dismissed the complaint. (We have received a long report of the case, but the space occupied by the sessions proceedings, prevents its insertion. CASE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING. At Carnbell Green, in the parish of Gwinear, WILLIAM HARVEY and WILLIAM EVA, miners, were drinking on Saturday last at the Pendarves Arms, kept by Mrs. HAMBLY, until about 10 p.m. when Harvey left, and soon afterwards Eva left and passed Harvey in the road talking to another man. Eva had not gone far before he was overtaken by Harvey, and on going along the road something came up about fighting; Eva and Harvey had two or three quarrels previous to this, and each considered himself as good a man as the other. A challenge was then given, and they both went into a field to fight, and a person named HOSKINS was to stand at a distance to see that there was "fair play". After one round Eva appeared to be the "best man," and others who had by this time come up, endeavoured to persuade him to home, but he would not, and Harvey not being willing to give in, said he would give him another round, when after a few blows, they caught hold of each other and fell into the hedge, Harvey being under, when he with a knife or some sharp instrument, inflicted from fifteen to twenty wounds on Eva, cutting him in a most unmerciful manner about the neck and body. On Eva being taken up he was discovered to be bleeding dreadfully; he had been cut with a knife, and went after Harvey and told him he had cut him to ribbons. Eva was then taken back to the public house, and Mr. THOMAS HAMBLY, to whom great praise is due for his exertions, was enabled after some delay to obtain the services of Mr. VINCENT, surgeon, at Camborne, who on coming found Eva in a most dangerous state. Some of the wounds were very deep, especially a stab in the neck, which had it been the 16th part of an inch in another direction, would have cut the leading artery, and death must have immediately followed. Mr. MILLER, superintendent, proceeded to the house of Harvey at Gwinear, and took him into custody. He was conveyed to Camborne, and remanded till the 8th instant. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. MOSES CALLAWAY cut his throat with a razor on Friday morning last, at his daughter's residence, in Gulval Church Town. The wound was deep, but surgical aid being quickly obtained his life was saved. His mind for some time has shown symptoms of derangement and he has now been sent to the asylum. NARROW ESCAPE. On Sunday last, as Mr. GRIGG and Mr. MENHENICK, farmers of Creed, and two ladies, were proceeding to Probus church, through neglect of putting on the drag at the top of Grampound hill, the horse, a powerful animal, became quite unmanageable, and carried them down the hill at a furious rate, causing great alarm and anxiety to the inhabitants. Fortunately there was nothing passing at the time, and the horse was brought up at the foot of the hill without causing any material injury. CORONER'S INQUEST. The following inquest has been held by Mr. J. CARLYON, county coroner:- On Thursday last, at Trerew Farm, IN THE PARISH OF Crantock, on the body of Mr. ARTHUR SLEEMAN, aged 54 years, who was killed the day before, by being thrown out of his cart, under the following circumstances. It appeared that he had gone with his horse and cart to a place called Shop, in the parish St. Columb Minor, to fetch a winnowing machine. On his way back, the horse, which was a high spirited animal ran off, and the deceased who was riding on the front part of the cart was thrown out and so seriously injured that he died before he could be taken home. Verdict "accidental death."

We echo the sentiments of Lorna, our Virtual Lady of the Light! Yvonne is a treasure for indulging our foolishness (I'm sure that there can't be many such 'parties' across the rootsweb world) and Lorna was a treasure for getting us started with the inspiring idea of a light which could shine it's beam across the 'virtual' world to our many 'real' friends! Our thanks to those who joined us the for the 2013 Party, and our very best hopes and wishes for 2014 to all. John and Anna, in Cornwall.

TRURO - CHRISTMAS TREES - These pretty ornaments in connection with the Christmas season, appear to be becoming more general than they have been in this county. Two fine "Christmas trees," twelve feet high, beautifully lit with gas, and ornamented with a variety of useful and fancy articles, are being prepared for Thursday the 7th January, to be then exhibited in the Council Chamber, and the articles to be sold for the benefit of the funds for the erection of the new Independent Chapel at Truro. The bazaar held some time ago for the same object was eminently successful, and the "trees" are expected to prove equally attractive, especially as vocal music with piano accompaniments, a tea-meeting, and promenade, are included in the programme for the evening. ECCLESIASTICAL - The Rev. CHARLES DURNFORD NEWMAN, M.A., of Wadham College, Oxford, and head master of the Truro Grammar School, was, on Sunday the 18th instant, ordained at Wells Cathedral, by the Bishop of Bath and Wells. The Bishop of Exeter has licensed the Rev. PERCIVAL WEBB, to the curacy of Bodmin. SEASONABLE BENEVOLENCE - LADY MOLESWORTH, of Pencarrow, has given directions that the poor of the parish be supplied with soup during the winter months; and on Christmas day all the labourers on her ladyship's estates were given a plentiful supply of roast beef and plum pudding. On Christmas Eve, Lord Falmouth gave to each of his workmen 2lbs. of beef, 2lbs. of bread, and two pints of beer; every man with a wife received 2lbs. of bread and beef, and one pint of beer extra; and every man with a family received for each child 1lb of beef, 1lb of bread, and a half pint of beer. The meat was given out under the superintendence of his lordship's steward Mr. GUNN, and Mr. HERIOT, the hind at Tregothnan. At Enys a large bullock was killed, and on Christmas Even, the workmen in Mr. Enys's employ received several pounds of beef each and a present of a shilling. The women also, and old servants residing at a distance, partook on the occasion of Mr. Enys's hospitality. On Christmas day the usual GBP6 worth of bread was given away at Falmouth church, in loaves of various sizes, to the deserving poor. The labourers on the roads in the parish of Camborne, seventeen in number, had their annual treat at Mr. CROUTCH's Commercial Hotel, on Christmas day, through the benevolence of Mr. R. LANYON. They enjoyed the old English fare of roast beef and plum pudding, with beer. The united ages of the seventeen labourers amounted to 935 years. On the 23rd ult. a bazaar was held for the sale of useful and fancy articles at the house of Mrs. CLYMO, in Dean-street, Liskeard, which realised upwards of GBP7, with which 36lbs. of good tea was purchased and distributed amongst 128 poor women resident in the town; leaving a balance to be appropriated in some other way. Through the exertions of two young ladies only, Miss POLLY CLYMO and Miss BESSIE LYNE, this gratifying result was brought about. The inmates of the Redruth Union-house were regaled on Christmas day with the good old English fare, roast beef and plum pudding, together with a plentiful supply of sparkling pudding, together with a plentiful supply of sparkling ")ct0ber" ale, after which apples and oranges were furnished in abundance. Tea and cake were also supplied in large quantities. In addition to the above, and aged and infirm were each supplied with a quarter of a lb. of sago, and one oz. of tea. In fact the treatment of the inmates of the house is at all times kind and friendly. On Christmas day the inmates of the St. Austell Union were as usual plentifully regaled with old English fare, roast beef and plum pudding, the gift of the guardians. TRURO TOLLS OF MARKETS AND FAIRS - These tolls were let this week for the ensuing year to Messrs. J. DUNSTAN, jun. and R. DREW, for the sum of GBP1025. NEWQUAY - A correspondent thus writes:- 2Being now on a visit to this far-famed watering place, I feel perfectly shocked at the filthy state of the streets, in which a person can scarcely walk, without being knee deep in mud. The stench arising from different places, is truly offensive, and will, I fear, if allowed to continue, bring disease again upon the place. As a friend to humanity, I beg through the medium of your valuable paper, to call the attention of the proper authorities to the subject, which will greatly oblige, yours most respectfully, A STRANGER. HURLING MATCH - A hurling match took place at Truro on Saturday last, some young men of Kenwyn having obtained subscriptions to purchase a silver ball. The match was between married and single men; the goal for the married was at the first milestone on the Redruth road, for the young men at the first milestone on the Falmouth road. The start was from Victoria Place, Truro, and after a smart contest, through streets and roads and over hedges, ditches, and fields, a young man called WEBB was declared the winner. Subscriptions were then made to the amount of 10s. and a second match was played, when the single men were again the victors, a young man called RAPSEY winning the goal. The country was very wet, and many of the hurlers were almost covered with dirt when the game ended. THE NAVY - Mr. JAMES N. CROKE, of Falmouth, youngest son of the late Commander W. P. CROKE, R.N., has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. CHARGE AGAINST A RELIEVING OFFICER - At the Porcupine Petty Sessions held on Monday the 21st ult., before Mr. SAWLE, chairman, Mr. R. FOSTER, and the Rev. C. LYNE, magistrates, Mr. BISHOP, on behalf of the overseers of the borough and parish of Fowey, made application for summons against the relieving officer of the Liskeard union. The circumstances of the case were as follows:- MARY BAWDEN, aged 17, had resided in the parish of St. Veep about two years, when finding herself with child, she left her service and came to her father's at Saw Mills, in Fowey parish, where her father was then, and had resided twelve or fourteen months with his second wife and seven or eight small children. The father's parish is Talland, which with St. Veep is in the Liskeard Union. She had resided at her father's about two months, and not having room for the daughter to lie-in, the stepmother and she, on Thursday the 3rd of September last, proceeded to Lerrin to see the relieving officer of the Liskeard union, whose duty it was to be at Lerrin on that day. They saw him and made application for the girl to be admitted into the Liskeard union house for the purpose of lying-in, and was refused, and also told that application must be made to the St. Austell union, or to the parish of Fowey, as she had been living there. Upon this refusal, together with the observations of the relieving officer, the step-mother and the girl returned, and on Monday the 7th of September, made application to be admitted, and was received into the St. Austell union at the cost and charges of the borough and parish of Fowey. There had been no previous application at Fowey to the application at Lerrin. The bench not being unanimous, the case was deferred until the next sessions. PENZANCE QUARTER SESSIONS - At these sessions, held on Monday last, before Mr. BERE, recorder, Mr. MATHEWS, mayor, and Mr. COULSON, justice, JAMES JAMES, 38 pleaded guilty of having obtained scales and brass weights from Mr. J. J. LANYON, of Penzance, ironmonger, by means of fraudulent pretences; also of having obtained brass weights, in a similar way, from Mr. JOHN JAMES, ironmonger. He was sentenced to two months' imprisonment on each indictment. RICHARD FRANCIS was charged with stealing beef from a vessel, the property of Mr. MATHEWS and others. The prisoner had been admitted to bail, and not appearing, his recognizances were ordered to be estreated. He afterwards surrendered himself to the police, stating that he and his sureties had forgotten the day, and he had gone out fishing. He was taken before Mr. Coulson, and ordered to be committed to the next sessions, but was afterwards admitted to bail, as it appeared he had really made a mistake. TRURO POLICE - On the first of August last, JOHN BUCKINGHAM, of Fairmantle Street, Truro, blacksmith, assaulted JOSEPH RICHARDS, ostler. A warrant was issued for his apprehension, but he absconded, and so far as is known, did not return to Truro until Sunday evening last, and at two o'clock the next morning, he was apprehended by police constable GAY. On Monday he was taken before Mr. PADDON, magistrate, but the case was ultimately settled out of court, on his paying Richards a sovereign for the assault, and the expenses, 13s. 6d. STEALING LEAD, &c. - We stated last week, that a man called BAKER had been committed for trial on a charge of stealing lead from Tregothnan, the property of Mr. JOHN Mc.LEAN, plumber and brazier, of Truro, who was doing some work at Tregothnan. Suspicion had fallen on a man called DAY, who had been in Mr. McLean's employ, but had absconded, it being believed that he had supplied the lead to sell to marine store-dealers in Truro. On Monday last, HENRY DAY, who had been apprehended at Plymouth by Sergeant WOOLCOCK, of the Truro police, was charged before Dr. CARLYON, county magistrate, with stealing two pieces of lead and a piece of iron pipe, the property of Lord Falmouth, and with stealing one piece of lead the property of Mr. McLean, in whose employ he had been upwards of five years, and had been in the habit of taking lead from Mr. McLean's shop to use at Tregothnan. The case was proved by the evidence of Mr. McLean, W. H. RANDALL, a workman, Superintendent NASH and Sergeant Woolcock of the Truro police, HENRY BAKER, shoemaker, with whom Day lodged, and HENRY IVEY, whitesmith, and the prisoner was committed to the sessions for trial. COMMITTAL ON A CHARGE OF MURDER - We gave a summary last week of the evidence given before Dr. FLETCHER and the Rev. H. M. RICE, county magistrates, on a charge of murder preferred against WILLIAM NATTLE, of the parish of St. Dominick. The charge was, that an old woman called MARIA NATTLE, had been murdered by her son, the prisoner. The case was adjourned to allow of a post mortem examination of the deceased, which was performed on Monday the 21st December, by Messrs. BOWDEN and KEMPTHORNE, surgeons of Callington. Mr. WILLIAM BOWDEN in his examination stated, on Monday last I made a post mortem examination of the body of Maria Nattle, with the assistance of Mr. Kempthorne. The conclusion I came to from the examination of the head was that the cause of death was apoplexy, but my opinion is that apoplexy did not arise from natural causes, but from a blow which the deceased received on the head; the general state of the brain in case of apoplexy from natural causes would be in a congested state - there might be a clot of blood. I do not think that the weight of the body in falling would have caused such an extensive bruise or laceration of the cellular tissue, exposing the roots of the hair. I do consider that it might have happened had she been violently pushed and she had fallen and her head come in contact with a wall or a piece of wood. I do not think that she could have sustained all the injuries which I discovered in her head from a fall resulting from apoplexy or any other fit from natural causes. I consider that an instrument, such as a weeding-iron with a handle from four to five feet, would, in case the handle had been struck against the head, have produced such injuries. From the situation of the bruises I do not think it could have been produced by a fall naturally. Mr. Kempthorne gave similar testimony. Several other witnesses were examined, and some of those examined last week were re-examined. The prisoner was then committed to Bodmin Gaol, to take his trial at the next assizes for the murder of his mother Maria Nattle. ACCIDENTS - The Rev. W. J. COOPE, rector of Falmouth, has met with a serious accident. On his return from Mylor, his mare, which is a very spirited animal, while galloping over some rough ground, fell with the rev. gentleman under her; his leg was slightly hurt, and on medical examination, some of his ribs were found to be fractured. On Thursday the 24th ultimo, as the "Alma" omnibus was returning from Truro to Grampond, being well filled with passengers, Mr. PHILIP LUKE, junior, of Grampond, on kindly making a seat for a lady, lost his hold, when both ere precipitated to the ground, and the wheels passing over Mr. Luke, he received some severe bruises, but no broken bones, and by the skilful treatment of Mr. STEPHENS, surgeon, of Grampond, we hope he is going on favourably. The young lady escaped unhurt, except the fright. GUN ACCIDENT - Sir W. B. CALL, Bart. Having invited some of the tenants who rented his summer grazing at Whiteford, to have a day's sport, rabbit shooting, a number of them met there on Monday the 28th ult. The sport was excellent, and everything went on most happily till about three o'clock in the afternoon, when Mr. PERKINS', of Birchenhays, St. Dominick, gun burst, severely lacerating his hand and splintering some bones. Fortunately no injury was sustained by those near him, although the fragments of the barrel and the lock were blown to a considerable distance. Mr. RUNDLE, of Pentillie farm, immediately drove Mr. Perkins in to Callington, where Mr. KEMPTHORNE, surgeon, dressed the wounded hand, extracting some splinters of bone. Although Mr. Perkins is suffering severely, the wound is not considered dangerous. COMMITTAL FOR SETTING FIRE TO CORN - JOHN THOMAS was charged before Dr. CARLYON, county magistrate, at Truro, with unlawfully and maliciously setting fire to a mow of wheat, on 27th November last, the property of Mr. THOMAS SOLOMON, of Roseinvalley farm, in the Parish of Kenwyn. Mr. THOMAS SOLOMON said, I live at Roseinvalley farm, Kenwyn, about three miles from Truro; there is a mowhay of wheat, barley and oats, at the back of my dwelling-house. Roseinvalley farm is my own property, and I also occupy a small farm call Lower Besore, in the same parish. I took this farm of Mr. WHITFORD, the solicitor for the mortgagees, and Mr. JOHN HOLMAN, the lessee of the tenement; I give GBP30 a-year for it. John Holman has claimed the entire rent, but my agreement was to pay Mr. Whitford GBP18, and John Holman GBP12. Holman put me in the County Court; the matter was referred to arbitration, and the award was made in my favour, Holman having all the costs to pay. The Holman family have been very much vexed with me ever since; Holman and his wife had told me that they would turn my cattle out of the fields, and I have found my cattle turned out. Gates have been frequently opened, and the fields trespassed on, but nothing of the kind has occurred since the fire. I had a field of wheat on the premises, which was carried into a mow in a field close to my farm-gate. I have no room for it in my mowhay; I had thrashed out about three-eighths of it. On the morning of November 27th, about four o'clock, I was awoke by my wife, who told me she thought there was a fire. I immediately got up and found this mow of wheat on fire; it was a solid mass of fire about four or five feet high. It must have been burning I should think about our hours; there was a little breeze blowing; there was no chance of saving any of it. I went into Truro shortly afterwards to see the agent of the Insurance office, but he was from home. On Saturday morning I again went to him, and he requested Mr. JARRATT, a superintendent of the county police, to go out with me, which he did immediately. I left on business for a short time and returned in about an hour, during which time Mr. Jarratt was making inquiries. He called my attention to two shoemarks near a hedge, about fourteen inches from it, at a distance of fourteen or fifteen feet from the burnt mow. The marks were made apparently by a man who had jumped down from the hedge, in the direction from the high-road to the mow. It was quite unnecessary for a man to go over the hedge, as there was a gateway about twenty feet further up. The marks had plain iron heel-taps without any groove in them. There was a peculiarity in the tread; it seemed as if the man trod more heavily on the outside. In the middle of the mark it seemed as if the nails had been worn away, and there was a deep impression of the leather. Two hob-nails near the toe of the left foot seemed newer than the others, and made also a deep impression; but what struck our observation most was that the toe-plates were different; one was a plain toe-plate, flat, and the other was a toe-schute. I have examined the boots now produced with the marks, in Mr. Jarratt's company, and they correspond exactly with them. Mr. Jarratt first tried them, and then with me, but he did not give me his opinion. The marks made by the boots exactly corresponded with the impressions we saw there the day after the fire, in every respect, and I have no doubt they were made by the boots now produced. The marks were carefully covered by Mr. Jarratt with boards; I have constantly seen the boards there, and am confident that none of our family moved it. In company with Mr. Jarratt the Saturday after the fire, I traced similar marks from near a gateway in a ploughed field round by a hedge, and then at the foot of the hedge which the party had jumped over; this was in a direction towards Holman's house. We also covered over two of these marks, and compared the boots now produced with them, and they exactly corresponded. On the Sunday following the fire, I was present with Mr. Jarratt when a box of lucifer matches were found in the end of a mow of corn, in the centre part of the mowhay. In consequence of my alarm, I directed my servants to watch, and on the Tuesday following, ROBERT TANK was watching with a dog, and about two o'clock I went out to see what was going on. He told me that about two hours previously, the dog was uneasy, and barked, and jumped out of his place among the straw, and he followed him to the end of his chain, about twelve feet long, this being near the mowhay hedge. He said he had then seen a man just outside the mowhay hedge running across the field; it was very clear moonlight, and he said he should know the man if he saw him again. On the Wednesday morning I went as soon as it was light to see if there were footmarks, and as it had rained during the night it was rather difficult to make them out, but where they had been sheltered by the hedge they were plainer, and were precisely similar to the marks already spoken of. The prisoner, John Thomas, is a son-in-law of John Holman. I should think the mow was about fifty yards from my dwelling-house; there was a public road between my dwelling-house and the rick. Robert Tank said he saw the man leaning down two-double, and running away across the field; the first time he saw the man, he was about thirty feet from the hedge; it was good moonlight; the man was dressed in a dark suit. I went to St. day with Mr. Jarratt on the 15th of this month, and he told me if I saw the same man to touch him. I went into a house with Mr. Jarratt and saw the prisoner; I touch Mr. Jarratt, and he took him into custody. I have never seen the man before, or heard his name mentioned; I am quite sure he is the same man. I told Mr. SOLOMON when he came out to me in the middle of the night, that he was about Mr. Solomon's height; that he had dark clothes on, and a high hat, and that I thought I should know him again if I saw him. ALFRED H. JARRATT, superintendent of the Truro district county constabulary, described the appearances of the foot marks he had found, and stated that he put two boards over the marks near the mow, and covered three in the fields. Witness and SERGEANT STRIPLING, of the county police, searched the mowhay, and witness found a box of matches, which seemed to have been lighted. The box was placed in a mow, between the corn and the stopper, which is made of reed; no doubt it did not burn, in consequence of the stopper being wet; the cover of the box is black, and also the label. Witness spoke of seeing other footmarks on Friday the 6th of December, after the man was stated to have been seen there on the previous Tuesday; those marks were similar to the former ones. Witness then went to St. Day and saw Inspector LAUGHTON, and they made inquiries about the prisoner. Witness mentioned the peculiarity of the footmarks, and Inspector Laughton described the way in which prisoner generally walked and said he had seen him wearing a pair of nailed boots with a piece on the top near the toe. I went to prisoner's house, and his wife told me he had left on the previous Monday morning, and she did not know where he was. On Tuesday morning, December 15th, I heard from Mr. Laughton that the prisoner had returned, and I went in the afternoon, taking Tank with me, and found him at home. Witness then stated that when Tank saw the man he touched witness, and he took him into custody. Witness asked Thomas where he was on the 28th of November, but told him several not to answer the questions unless he thought fit. He said he was at Wheal Maria Mine (Devon Consols), that he returned last Sunday fortnight, went away again the following Monday, and came back the Sunday following, (Dec. 6th). I said, "you just now said you returned a fortnight last Sunday, where were you the Friday before that?" He said, "at home" - and where have you been since? He replied, "only at Redruth," Witness further stated that Thomas showed him his boots, and denied that he had any others, he said he did not wear nailed boots, as he had hurt his ancle. On the 16th of December, Inspector Laughton brought witness a bag containing a pair of trowsers, miner's hat, a pair of boots, and a pair of shoes, with a not addressed to "Mr. John Thomas, St. Day." On being shown the bag, prisoner said it was his, with his underground clothes in it. The letter was as follow:- "Besore, 12th December, 1857. - Dear Sir, I feel sorry I cannot come to promise, as Mr. CARNE called to our house this morning just before I was coming away, to say we must meet at Truro about Solomon's business, and must not disappoint by any means. I will be to Redruth on Monday next by twelve o'clock to the same place and if there is any alteration, please let me know - yours truly, JOHN HOLMAN." Witness further stated that the bag contained the boots now produced; prisoner said they were his, and appeared rather confused. Witness further described the way in which he had compared the boots with the footmarks, by making impressions alongside, and that they perfectly corresponded. WILLIAM LAUGHTON, Inspector of the District Constabulary at St. Day, and ALFRED STRIPLING, sergeant in the Truro district, gave confirmatory evidence having seen the boots compared with the marks. Inspector Laughton having seen prisoner wearing different boots from those he had on when taken into custody, made inquiries, and found a bag and a letter at a public-house kept by a person names NINNIS. The letter was addressed to "Mr. John Thomas," but the address on the bag was torn off. This concluded the evidence, and prisoner being asked what he had to say to the charge, said he was not guilty. He was then committed to take his trial at the next assizes. COMMITTAL FOR SETTING FIRE TO CORN. JOHN THOMAS was charged before Dr. CARLYON, county magistrate, at Truro, with unlawfully and maliciously setting fire to a mow of wheat, on 27th November last, the property of Mr. THOMAS SOLOMON, of Roseinvalley farm, in the parish of Kenwyn. Mr. Thomas Solomon said, I live at Roseinvalley farm, Kenwyn, about three miles from Truro; there is a mowhay of wheat, barley and oats at the back of my dwelling-house. Roseinvalley farm is my own property, and I also occupy a small farm called Lower Besore, in the same parish. I took this farm of Mr. WHITFORD, the solicitor of the mortgagees, and Mr. JOHN HOLMAN, the lessee of the tenement; I give GBP30 a year for it. John Holman has claimed the entire rent, but my agreement was to pay Mr. Whitford GBP18, and John Holman GBP12. Holman put me in the County Court; the matter was referred to arbitration, and the award was made in my favour, Holman having all the costs to pay. The Holman family have been very much vexed with me ever since; Holman and his wife have told me that they would turn my cattle out of the fields, and I have found my cattle turned out. Gates have been frequently opened, and the fields trespassed on, but nothing of the kind has occurred since the fire. I had a field of wheat on the premises, which was carried into a mow in a field close to my farm-gate. I had no room for it in my mowhay; I had thrashed out about three-eighths of it. On the morning of November 27th, about four o'clock, I was awoke by my wife, who told me she thought there was a fire. I immediately got up and found this mow of wheat on fire; it was a solid mass of fire about four or five feet high. It must have been burning I should think about four hours; there was a little breeze blowing; there was no chance of saving any of it. I went into Truro shortly afterwards to see the agent of the Insurance office, but he was from home. On Saturday morning I again went to him, and he requested Mr. JARRATT, a superintendant of the county, police to go out with me, which he did immediately. I left on business for a short time and returned in about an hour, during which time Mr. Jarratt was making inquiries. He called my attention to two shoe marks near a hedge, about fourteen inches from it, at a distance of fourteen or fifteen feet from the burnt mow. The marks were made apparently by a man who had jumped down from the hedge, in the direction from the high-road to the mow. It was quite unnecessary or a man to go over the hedge, as there was a gateway about twenty feet further up. The marks had plain iron heel-taps without any groove in them. There was a peculiarity in the tread; it seemed as if the man trod more heavily on the outside. In the middle of the mark it seemed as if the nails had been worn away, and there was a deep impression of the leather. Two hob-nails near the toe of the left foot seemed newer than the others, and made also a deep impression; but what struck our observation most was that the toe-plates were different; one was a plain toe-plate, flat, and the other was a toe-schute. I have examined the boots now produced with the marks, in Mr. Jarratt's company, and they correspond exactly with them. Mr. Jarratt first tried them, and then with me, but he did not give me his opinion. The marks made by the boots exactly corresponded with the impressions we saw there the day after the fire, in every respect, and I have no doubt they were made3 by the boots now produced. The marks were carefully covered by Mr. Jarratt with boards; I had constantly seen the boards there, and am confident that none of our family moved it. In company with Mr. Jarratt the Saturday after the fire, I traced similar marks from near a gateway in a ploughed field round by a hedge, and then at the foot of the hedge which the party had jumped over; this was in a direction towards Holman's house. We also covered over two of these marks, and compared the boots now produced with them, and they exactly corresponded. On the Sunday following the fire, I was present with Mr. Jarratt when a box of lucifer matches was found in the end of a mow of corn, in the centre part of the mowhay. In consequence of my alarm, I directed my servants to watch and on the Tuesday following, ROBERT TANK was watching with a dog, and about two o'clock I went out to see what was going on. He told me that about two hours previously, the dog was uneasy, and barked, and jumped out of his place among the straw, and he followed him to the end of his chain, about twelve feet long, this being near the mowhay hedge. He said he had then seen a man just outside the mowhay ledge running across the field; it was very clear moonlight, and he said he should know the man if he saw him again.

Alfred H. Jarratt, superintendent of the Truro district county constabulary, described the appearances of the foot marks he had found, and stated that he put two boards over the marks near the mow, and covered three in the fields.

I went to prisoner's house, and his wife told me he had left on the previous Monday morning, and she did not know where he was. On Tuesday morning, December 15th, I heard from Mr. Laughton that prisoner had returned, and I went in the afternoon taking Tank with me, and found him at home. Witness then stated that when Tank saw the man he touched witness, and he took him in custody.

Dear Friends, What a wonderful party!  Although I only stepped in for a few minutes, it was wonderful to see you all again and experience the craziness of our group.  However, the church bells of Cornwall called to me and I couldn't resist so I've been going from church to church, listening to the divine carols being sung by the various choirs and congregations.  What joy and hope the music brings to this part of the world.  And so, I bid you a beautiful Christmas and a most joyous New Year! Mistress Mackey of Garden Grove

Thank you Leaping Lorna of the Lit Up Lighthouse for your wonderful description of the festivities! I have done as so graciously requested by your good self, and turned up the lighthouse lamp to maximum! Under the clear Cornish sky, the beams of red and white are sparkling off the waves of St Ives Bay, reflecting right across the Penwith Peninsula to Mount's Bay, mingling with the Christmas lights of Mousehole, and streaming onwards to Lands End. From there, our wondrous light is beaming upwards to bounce off the moon, and thence it is spreading all around the Cornish world. As for Lady Anna of Launceston, and my own Honourable (or Otherwise) self, we have dressed in our finest Sunday best (I have on my very best frock-coat and shiniest top hat, whilst the Lady Anna has a dress entirely made of Cornish Tartan). As I'm playing percussion in our dance band, I have to admit that I'm getting somewhat warm in this attire, whilst my top hat keeps falling off and getting mistaken for a snare drum. The top, in consequence, seems slightly dented, but no matter, for I can acquire a new one from one of the passing Pirate ships at some point during the forthcoming year! I can only apologise for the remainder of the musicians. Sadly, too many of them had too much mead and Cornish ale whilst waiting for stragglers to arrive from Mousehole and Port Wenn, and getting a tune out of them has been a challenge, but they've risen to the challenge, and the music and dancing has (eventually) been a joy. Likewise, the choir have been so frozen by being unable to gain access that they have been singing Cornish carols such as 'Star of Jacob' and 'Lo, The Eastern Sages Rise' with chattering teeth.... "St..St..St..Of..Of..JJJJJJJJaaaCCCCCCoooBBBBB..." which is a pity, but I'm grateful that they came. Around Cornwall church bells have been ringing all day. In Launceston Lady Anna has been singing carols on the village green, whilst the church of St Stephen (across the road from us) celebrated this afternoon, and then a little later the bells rang clearly from the Kensey Valley below as the pretty little church of St Thomas joined the Christmas celebrations. And so, from our magical party at Godrevy, and our own old stone house in Launceston (where the woodsmoke is curling up the chimney, and the smell of the real Christmas tree is wafting through the rooms) we wish you all around the world a most Wondrous and Wonderful Christmas, and a joyous New Year... with an especial 'Thank You' to our Listmom Yvonne, for (once again) indulging our bit of virtual fun!

I finally found somebody who wanted my Johnny Depp get-up so I feel like I am free and no longer have to say "Argh" all the time. The parrots stopped trying to land on my shoulders and head and drink my Scrumpy (Who gave them those long straws???). Seriously, I would LOVE to be in Cornwall for Christmas some year. I know it would be a lot more peaceful than the craziness at our Southern California shopping malls and the insane freeway traffic. Tomorrow we will be at our son and daughter in law's house for the afternoon, enjoying her wonderful prime rib dinner, opening presents and enjoying the company of our families. It will be sunny and in the 70s here. My other son and his wife are on vacation in Argentina for 3 weeks. I wish everybody on The Cornish List a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year and especially to Listmom Yvonne.
