There are copious references to Gin Palaces in Dickens' "Sketches by Boz", but what the system was I don't know, and it might well have varied over time. The whole licensing system for the sale of ales, wines and spirits seems to have been developed during the 18th and 19th centuries, with frequent changes to the regulations regarding both retail sales (both in bottles and served as drinks for consumption on the premises) and wholesale firms, interacting with changes in the manner and amount of taxation imposed on the trade. These changes brought about corresponding changes to the structure of the industry, with different types of business attracting the formation of shorthand or slang names for the businesses concerned, and Gin Palace would have been one of those, with the relevant regulation that brought them about being called the Gin Palace System for short. Probably a search of the local newspapers of the time would be the best place to start. Andrew Rodger rodgera@audioio.com

The West Briton (Friday, 30 Oct 1857) reported the death of a boy working at Wheal Ding Dong in Gulval: > MINE ACCIDENT - A lad named TOBIAS BOADEN, of Ludgvan, aged twelve, fell > ten fathoms out of the ladder way of Ding Dong mine, on Friday last, into > water, and was found drowned. This youngster was Tobias BAWDEN (ca.1845-1857), the second son of Joseph BAWDEN and Nancy TRATHEN, his first wife. Tobias was buried at Gulval on 15 Oct 1857 with the burial register stating that he was of Boskednan, Gulval. However, it is possible that his widowed father and siblings were already living at Ludgvan, where his father remarried in 1858. The family lived in Ludgvan at Castle Gate in 1859 and at Treassowe Downs at the 1861 Census. Bill Curnow Ludgvan & Gulval OPC Port Charlotte, FL, USA

WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER 30 OCTOBER 1857 . LOCAL INTELLIGENCE . THE COUNTY MEETING - We are requested to state that Mr. ROBARTES, M.P. (who is in London) had fully intended to be present at the county meeting held at Bodmin on Friday last, in reference to the Indian mutinies, but was prevented from being there by circumstances beyond his control. . ROYAL GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF CORNWALL - A report of the annual meeting of this society appears in our sixth page; but the following should be added to the financial account read by Mr. CARNE: . "It is well known that the late Mr. LONG by his will bequeathed certain freehold property to our society as well as to the Penzance Natural History Society, and the Penzance Public Library. Mr. Long's heir-at-law disputes these bequests, which obliges us to meet him in the Court of Chancery, but as it is possible that a decision on one case (if in our favour) may decide the whole, a suit has been commenced on the part of one of these institutions, which will probably be decided in the course of the next month. In the mean time the council conclude that the society will sanction any arrangement which they have made, or may make, with respect to the costs of the suit. Supposing the suit to be determined in our favour the property will produce several hundred pounds, and if we add to this Sir CHARLES LEMON's munificent legacy, and also a fund which our treasurer has accumulated by realizing arrears of subscriptions, and preventing all unnecessary expenditures, and which now amount to GBP 650, we shall be in a situation to realise our long hoped for new building, without incurring any debt in its erection, and this every succeeding year makes the more necessary." . ECCLESIASTICAL - The Rev. ORLANDO MANLEY has been appointed to the chapel of St. John, Kenwyn. Rev. SAMUEL STEAD to the perpetual curacy of Cornelly. . DIOCESAN EDUCATION - The annual meeting of the Exeter Diocesan Education Board was held at the Training College, Heavitree, on Wednesday the 22nd instant, the Mayor of Exeter in the chair, when the Rev. Chancellor HARINGTON presented the report, which amongst other things contained the results of the labours of diocesan inspectors for the year from Midsummer 1856 to Midsummer 1857. The following report applied to the county of Cornwall: . Number of parishes and districts, 231. Number of schools in such parishes, &c, 19 Character and condition of school, A, 10; B, 40; C, 24; D,4 Number on the day of inspection, on books, 4945; present, 3576. . Since the date of the last report, the committee of the Female Training School, at Truro, have not been wanting in their endeavours, to place the institution on such a footing as shall render it capable of assistance, by annual grants, and otherwise, from the committee of council in education. It was stated last year that in addition to the government grant of GBP 1500 an outlay of about GBP 2000 would be required. Of this GBP 2000, the sum of GBP 1371 has now been raised. The committee of council have authorized the admission of Queen's scholars into the school after Christmas, provided the attendance of twelve resident pupils be secured, and the staff of teachers increased. It has been determined to open the school in the present buildings at Christmas next, in accordance with the above requirements, and Mr. CHURCH's circular requests the clergy to give the necessary explanations to candidates for examination, and such other young persons wishing to enter the Training School as may come within their influence. . PRIMITIVE METHODISTS - The annual meetings of the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society, in the St. Austell circuit, were held on October 18th and five following days. Preparatory sermons were preached on the 18th by Mr. G. DOBSON, superintendent of the St. Ives circuit, (the deputation) Messrs. E. POWELL and C. G. HOWER, circuit preachers, and Messrs. B. RUNDELL of Tregony, and P. BESWETHERIC, of Lanlivery. Missionary meetings were held at St. Austell, Bodmin, St. Blazey, Tregrehan and Mevagissey, at each of which a report of the connexion's missionary operations was read and much valuable information given by the deputation. . >From the report it appeared that the Primitive Methodist Connexion was formed in March 1810, and was composed of ten members who had not been members of any other religious community.

The connexion has missionaries in Australia, 14; in New Zealand, 3; in North America 37; in Ireland 5; and in the Channel islands, 3. . An analysis of the report shows that the average yearly progress of the connexion since its formation forty-seven years ago, is, members 5354; traveling preachers 12; local preachers 214; Sabbath schools 36; Sabbath school teachers 540; Sabbath school scholars 2,967; connexional chapels 42. . CAMBORNE - MR. GEORGE SMITH delivered a lecture "On India and the India Mutinies" to the members and friends of the Camborne Wesleyan Sunday School Teachers' Institute, on Friday the 23rd inst. This being the opening lecture of the autumnal session, and the subject being one of very great interest, there was a numerous attendance of from three hundred to three hundred and fifty persons. The audience retired highly pleased with the able manner in which India, and its past and present condition, were brought before them. . PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS - Photographic and Talbo... portraits are taken in St. Nicholas-street, Truro, and we have seen some successful specimens produced at that establishment. An advertisement in another page states prices and other particulars. . REDRUTH - INDIAN MUTINY FUND - The gentlemen of the Redruth Harmonic Society gave a concert on Wednesday in aid of the fund for the relief of the sufferers from the mutinies in India. The attendance was not so large as might have been desired; it was, however, highly respectable, and, in acknowledging a vote of thanks from the audience to the gentlemen of the orchestra for their kind and able efforts to promote a good cause, Mr. J.F. PENROSE announced that the net profit of the concert might be expected to be about GBP 7. . The performers were: Piano, Mr. J.S. MICHELL; violins, Messrs. W. SIMS and J.F. PENROSE; flutes, Messrs. T. PENROSE and W. SYMONS; violincellos, Messrs. DAVEY and NETTLE; double bass, Mr. HODDER. Vocalists, Messrs. J. HOCKING, jun., ALFRED LANYON, J. SIMS, and ASHTON. The music was selected and executed with a judgment and good taste which made us more than ever regret the discontinuance of the public performances of the society. . MADAMOISELLE ROSA BONHEUR'S PICTURE OF THE HORSE FAIR - This extraordinary work of art was exhibited in Truro, on Wednesday and Thursday, and attracted very general admiration. Its most distinguishing features are the astonishing power which it displays in the pourtrayment of the action and emotional character of the horse. Other painters may have successfully painted hoses in a state of repose, but Rosa Bonheur delineates them in all the wildness of a state of passion and violent activity; and notwithstanding the obvious difficulty in the way of attaining truth or correctness in such an achievement, it is impossible not to be charmed with the perfect closeness to nature which is everywhere exhibited in her picture. Nothing ultra or exaggerated is discoverable throughout the painting, and the fidelity with which every shade of expression or action is brought out is perhaps without a parallel in art. The vigour and freedom of the drawing are also truly wonderful - the more so that such masculine qualities should have been attained by a woman. The whole of the details, indeed, exhibit the most perfect mastery of the mechanical part of painting, and altogether the picture is one of the most remarkable emanations of genius that has ever come under our notice. . FALMOUTH HARBOUR - During the recent boisterous weather, although the inner and outer harbours were very full of shipping of all classes, we are informed that they rode out the gales without any injury. . EARLY CLOSING - We are glad to find that the grocers, (with one exception) and druggists of Helston, have agreed to close their shops in future at eight o'clock in the evening instead of nine, the present time of closing. [A second report stated that Fox and Co., Broad and Sons, William CARNE, and Lashbrook and Hunt had signed an agreement to that effect.] . TRURO POLICE - On Monday last, before the Mayor and Mr. CHAPPEL, WILLIAM MATHEWS was fined 5s. and 6s.6d. costs, for being disorderly at one o'clock on Sunday morning, much to the annoyance of the inhabitants of Victoria Place. On Tuesday, before Mr. Chappel, ELLEN GORDON, an old Scotch vagrant, was charged with being drunk and wilfully breaking three panes of glass in the window of MARY SHOLL, of the New Inn, Kenwyn Street. Police constable GAY took her into custody. She was ordered to pay 3s. the value of the glass, and 3s.6d. expenses, or in default to be committed for two months to hard labour. She did not pay, and was sent to gaol. . On Thursday, before the Mayor, Mr. Chappel, and Mr. PADDON, CHARLOTTE BENNY, alias TRAER, was charged with being drunk and annoying the inhabitants of St. Nicholas Street, and other parts of the town, at ten o'clock on Wednesday night. She was taken into custody by police-constable WHITE. The magistrates ordered her to pay 3s.6d. expenses. REBECCA PASCOE, of Boscawen Row, summoned SOHIA MNNELL [possibly Manuel?] for an assault on the 26th instant. She was ordered to pay 14s. 6d., including fine and expenses. . MINE ACCIDENT - A lad named TOBIAS BOADEN, of Ludgvan, aged twelve, fell ten fathoms out of the ladder way of Ding Dong mine, on Friday last, into water, and was found drowned. . CORONER'S INQUESTS - the following inquests have been held before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner: . On the 27th instant at Probus, on the body of WILLIAM JORY, carpenter, aged 65 years. From the evidence of the deceased's son, it appeared that his father left home on Monday morning at nine o'clock, to go to work in St. Stephens parish, for MR. HAWKINS. He took some tools and some meat with him and was not expected back until the following Saturday evening, but about four o'clock in the afternoon he was brought home in a cart, a corpse. He had been found dead by the side of the road, about five miles from Probus. There were no marks of violence on the body, and the jury after hearing the evidence, were satisfied that he died by the "visitation of God from natural causes," and returned a verdict to that effect. . On Thursday (this day) near Twelveheads, in the parish of Kenwyn, on the body of NICHOLAS TREVEAL, miner, aged 36 years, who died from injuries he received in returning up from under ground in the United Mines. It appeared that on Friday evening last, the deceased and two other miners got into the skip at the 208 fathom level, to go up in it, but on arriving near the 190 fathom level the skip got out from the guides, and after being drawn up a little higher it got jammed between the side of the shaft and the dividing, and the chain, by which it was being drawn up, broke and fell down on the men. Most providentially the skip remained stationary until the three men were taken out of it by some ropes which were lowered to them from the 170 fathom level above, but the deceased had been struck in the back of the neck by the falling chain, and was taken out insensible. He lingered until Tuesday evening and died from the injuries he received. The man-engine was undergoing repairs at the time, and could not be worked; but it was proved at the inquest that there were good ladders all the way up for the miners to ascend by, and that they had been strictly forbidden any of them to go up in the skip. Verdict, "accidental death." ......................................................................................... Julia M.

Might anyone know what a "gin palace system" might have been? (see the case of Brendon). .......................................................................................................................................................................WEST BRITON and CORNWALL ADVERTISER30 OCTOBER 1857 . 30 OCTOBER 1857 VISITING JUSTICES' REPORT - The Chairman read this report as follows: We, the undersigned Visiting Justices of the County Prison, at Bodmin, have to report the cleanly state of the gaol and the efficient discipline maintained therein. We have to recommend that THOMAS WHITE, who was appointed a warder at the last Michaelmas Sessions, should be placed on the same footing as the other warders with respect to the annual increase of salary of GBP 1 after the first year, with the same allowances of clothing, &c. The governor having been directed to employ a night-watchman in lieu of WILLIAM BEARD (who had become hard of hearing and unfit for that duty) had selected THOMAS JAGO, jun., subject to our approbation, and we, approving of the selection, have to recommend that his appointment may be confirmed at the same salary and allowance as WILLIAM BEARD; such appointment to bear date 31st August, 1857, being the day he commenced doing the duty. . We have further to report the death of WILLIAM HILL, a pensioned warder, which took place on the 7th October instant. Signed, H. THOMSON, RICHARD FOSTER, C.M. EDWARD COLLINS, and NEVILLE NORWAY. . SURGEON'S REPORT - [from Mr. WARD, surgeon of the county gaol] - I have the honour to report that during the first three quarters of the current year, the health of the prisoners in the county gaol was remarkably good; the average number treated being sixty-seven. But in the fourth quarter the number amounted to 159, shewing an increase of ninety-two cases over every other period. This I attribute to two causes: first, the increased number of committals; and secondly, the prevalence of diarrhoea, so usual at this time of the year; the cases, however, were all mild in character; the disease has passed away, and I can now report the gaol to be in a very healthy state. . THURSDAY OCTOBER 29 The court this morning passed the following sentences on prisoners, whose trials we reported last week: William Letcher, one month hard labour Richard Jewell, six weeks hard labour Charlotte Hocking, two months' hard labour James harris, two months' hard labour, and to be privately whipped John Treserge James, six months' hard labour Emma Hendy, four months' hard labour Henry Allen, four months’ hard labour Henry Ager, six months' hard labour, and to be twice privately whipped John Stoneman, eight months' hard labour William Smith, nine months' hard labour William Best, twelve months' hard labour Edward Armstrong, six years' penal servitude Elizabeth Phillips, six months' imprisonment Gilderoy Brown, the elder, four months' hard labour Gilderoy Brown, the younger, four months' hard labour John Smith, six months' hard labour Mary Sullivan, four months' hard labour . On the prisoner Armstrong being called on, the governor (Mr. Everest) made complaint to the court that the turnkeys had just reported to him that this prisoner had most violently misconducted himself in the cell below, after being brought thither with other prisoners from the gaol to receive sentence. Armstrong, addressing the court with much vehemence of manner, stated that OSBORNE (a turnkey) came to him and said something or other about what his sentence would be; and he (Armstrong) said, "well, they won't hang us;" and so one word led to another. . The Chairman: We have a wretched character of you. Prisoner - "And 'twill be worse for the time to come; worse than ever; all this will do me no good." . The Chairman stated that the prisoner had been previously convicted at the Epiphany Sessions, and passed on him sentence of six years penal servitude; on which the prisoner exclaimed - "I hope you'll break your bloody neck against I come back." Then prisoner then, making violent and powerful resistance, was removed to the cell below, exclaiming when he got down, "I hope all you bloody b___rs will break your bloody necks; I'll serve you out at the end of six years." . We observed that two men in the court - we believe constables - went down to the assistance of the turnkeys, and we have been informed that it took seven men to hold the prisoner, and to handcuff him and take off his shoes. The other prisoners, we are told, showed themselves willing and ready to assist the gaol officers in securing this violent fellow. . The prisoner, JOHN SMITH, on receiving his sentence, with remarks from the chairman on his violence in the commission of the assault, exclaimed: "I was not there at all; the witnesses, with the exception of the last, were perjured; I take six months for nothing, and one month I have been in prison already; that's your Cornish evidence and your Cornish law-dealers!" . JAMES COOK, aged 62, a labourer, had been indicted for attempting to destroy himself at St. Clether. No one had appeared to prosecute the indictment. In obedience to a command from the Chairman, he was now placed in the dock, to be admonished and discharged. . The Chairman said to him: -You have been brought before us in consequence of some unhappy attempt you made on your life. Prisoner - Yes, your Honor; I was very tipsy at the time, and I am very sorry for it. The Chairman admonished the prisoner, and he promised that he would never drink again. . APPEALS ST. KEW appellant; Mr. SHILSON and Mr. COLLINS. BODMIN respondent; Mr. STOKES and Mr. COMMINS. . MARY ANN CROWE from the parish of Bodmin to the parish of St. Kew. Mr. Stokes stated that the order was grounded on a hiring and service of the pauper, in the year 1830, and that corroborative evidence as to date was the death of JANE GOODMAN, the wife of pauper's master in that year; but that it had now been discovered that there were two Jane Goodmans, one of whom died in 1830, and the other in 1834, and that, in fact, the one who died last was the wife of the pauper's master. The overseers of Bodmin had therefore been altogether misled by the circumstances of their[sic] being two Jane Goodmans of the same parish, whose deaths were certified in the same register; and therefore he submitted that the order should be quashed without coasts. Mr. Shilson, on the part of the respondents, objected to this course, and the order was eventually quashed on the merits with GBP5 costs. . BUDOCK appellant - Mr. SHILSON and Mr. BULLMORE; CALSTOCK respondent. This was an appeal against an order for the removal of MARY MANUEL HANCOCK, widow, and her two children. There was no appearance on behalf of respondents. . MR. SAMUEL LAWRY, assistant overseer of the parish of Budock, proved due publication and service of the notice and grounds of appeal; and he added that on his seeing the overseers of Calstock, and informing them of the grounds of appeal, they said that in that case they thought they should withdraw. Since that he had had some communication with them, and they wished to make certain conditions; but he informed them that they must withdraw first; there was something said by them about finding out the settlement, but since that he had received no further communication from them, and they had no notice of abandonment. . Under these circumstances, Mr. Shilson applied that the order be quashed, and with extra costs, to meet the appellants' expenses in attending to-day, with witnesses, to prosecute the appeal; and to show that the appellants had been acting bond fide, and with the full intention of trying the appeal, there was read a copy of a letter written on Monday last, by Mr. Bullmore, to the respondents attorney, to which no answer had been received. The court quashed the order, with GBP 15 costs; no maintenance. . IMPORTANT TO CARRIERS - JOHNSON, appellant; Mr. STOKES and Mr. JOHN H. DWELLY (attorneys for the Board of Excise). STANTON, respondent; Mr. SHILSON. [article shortened] . Mr. Stokes stated that in this case, the appellant was HERBERT JOHNSON, supervisor of excise in the Liskeard district; and the respondent was WILLIAM STANTON of Liskeard. The appeal was, in fact, against a decision of the justices of the borough of Liskeard in a case in which Mr. Herbert Johnson applied to those justices to enforce a penalty of GBP 100 against Stanton for having let out a horse to hire without having obtained the necessary license for that purpose. . The Liskeard magistrates, having had two hearings and having taken time to consider, ultimately refused the appellant's application. Thereupon notice of appeal was given by the appellant and the parties now came here to try the case over again; the Commissioners of Excise having directed the appeal. The facts of the case were shortly these: . The defendant keeps a van at Liskeard, and in respect thereof pays, under the Assessed Taxes Act, a duty of GBP 2.6s.8d. per annum; this being the amount of duty payable by him as a common carrier, for one horse. Having that van, he was employed in the early part of June, by Mr. Sanders, who keeps an academy at Liskeard, to take some of the schoolboys from Liskeard to Truro; the bargain being that Stanton was to take them at a charge of 5s.6d. each. . Mr. Stokes stated that Truro was not the ordinary route of this van, its ordinary route being from Liskeard to Plymouth and back; the route to Truro was wholly different, and considerably longer. . The bargain was first made with Stanton by Mrs. Sanders, and afterwards confirmed by her husband; eight boys were conveyed to Truro, and Stanton was subsequently paid at the rate of 5s.6d. He believed that on the road, one or two other passengers were taken up; and he was not instructed to say that there was an exclusive letting of the van by Stanton to Sanders. . These being the facts of the case, the question was whether the defendant had thus incurred the penalty now sought to be enforced. The act under which the appellant proceeded, was the 16th and 17th Victoria, cap. 88 - an Act to repeal the duties payable in respect to horses let for hire, and to grant new duties on licenses to let horses for hire. The 2nd section of that Act stated what the duties were to be, and the 4th section - the important one - contained this provision: "Every person who shall let any horses for hire to be used [shall take out a proper license for that purpose, consistent with the Board of Excise and the Supervisor of Excise in the district. If that license were not taken out, another section - the 15th - assessed a penalty of GBP 100 should be imposed, but could be mitigated.] . The first question was whether the bargain made with Sanders by Stanton was in fact a letting of his Horse for hire. Mr. Stokes believed it was, for a van could not go without the horse. The second question - which Mr. Shilson had urged before the magistrates at Liskeard - was that Stanton, being a common carrier, was exempt from the operation of this clause by the provisions of another Act - the 16 and 17 Victoria, cap 90. The important portion of that Act was Schedule D..[Mr. Shilson would say that GBP2.6s.8d. was all that the respondent was liable to pay, inasmuch as he was a common carrier traveling at a rate not exceeding four miles an hour. Therefore, the respondent was exempt from the post-horse duty of GBP7.10s.] In order to be exempt, a common carrier must be bona fide, principally employed in carrying goods, and that the permission to carry passengers was qualified by the word "occasionally.". Mr. Stokes contended that the meaning of that was that the van being principally employed to convey goods, passengers might, occasionally, be taken up and let down on the road. But could it be said that a distinct hiring of the van for a given day to go on another than its usual route and take boys at 5s.6d. a head, was such an occasional use for passengers as the act contemplated? Here there was as much a distinct hiring of the defendant's horse and van for a long journey, as if Mr. Sanders had gone to the hotel and hired a carriage for the conveyance of the boys to Truro.. In reply to a question from the chairman, Mr. Stokes said he believed the defendant had but this one carriage, and that the day on which it went to Truro was not one of its days for its usual route between Liskeard and Plymouth. However that might be, here was a distinct bargain by the defendant for his own gain, and he was bound to take the consequences.. Hotel-keepers naturally complained that van-owners, paying only the common carriers duty of GBP 2.6s.8d., should be able to let carriages in this way. Mr. Stokes proceeded to cite a case that would show a bargain that the latter should take the boys to Truro, was in fact a hiring of a horse.. Witnesses called by Mr. Stokes were:. SARAH SANDERS, wife of Mr. William Sanders, who keeps a school at Liskeard, said she did not agree to hire the carriage exclusively - she only agreed he should convey eight boys to Truro, and did not mind should others be taken up as well. WILLIAM BATTERSHILL SANDERS - was not certain of the number of boys who would go to Truro; did not contract to hire a horse. ROBERT NICHOLLS - a young gentleman who made the journey; the van picked up a man in Bodmin who went to Truro as well, and two females; one was his wife, and one his sister. HERBERT JOHNSON - supervisor of the excise, Liskeard district - [Stanton does not pay for a post-horse license; he pays assessed taxes to the amount of GBP 2.6s.8d for his van. After he [Johnson] had initiated proceedings, he spoke to Stanton, when Stanton said Wednesday was an unoccupied day, and he considered he was allowed to take the boys to Truro as a common carrier, as he took the boys' luggage as well. I never heard he travelled in any other direction than to Plymouth..On cross-examination - Stanton's license as a common carrier does not confine him to any particular route. He may occasionally vary his times for going to and returning from Plymouth, but does so rarely. We were before the magistrates at Liskeard three times. Mr. JONES and Mr. PEARSE were the magistrates the first time; Mr. CHILDS and Mr. ANSTIS were the magistrates the second time. These four heard the last hearing. Three of the magistrates at Liskeard were lawyers; they were inclined to be against Mr. Anstis, who seemed [to Mr. Johnson] to have had very grave doubts about Stanton's position.]. Mr. Shilson, for the respondent, said it appeared to him perfectly clear that his client was entitled to do what he had done by virtue of an Act of Parliament. He contended that Stanton was not chargeable to post-horse duty; but, if he was chargeable at all, it would be to stage carriage duty..[He then cited the law regarding stage carriage duty] Every carriage conveying passengers for hire at a rate of four miles an hour was a stage-carriage; and then came an exemption of carriages traveling at a less rate than four miles an hour. There was then, in that section, this proviso: "Provided the passengers shall be charged and pay separate and distinct fares.".Stanton agreed to take the boys at 5s.6d. a head, provided they would start early, so that he might not travel at a rate of four miles an hour. If he travelled at a rate within four miles an hour, and carried passengers for separate and distinct fares, then he came within the exemption. He was not bound by any act of Parliament to any particular road; as a common carrier, he might travel on any road he pleased, and he might change his route as often as he pleased. He did not let his carriage wholly to Mrs. Sanders - which would have made him liable to the post-horse duty - but the evidence was that she had nothing to do with the carriage, and he might convey to Truro as many more passengers as he pleased. …. Mr. Stokes was heard in reply; after which the magistrates retired. In about a quarter of an hour they returned into court and the Chairman said: "We unanimously confirm the decision of the magistrates of Liskeard.". Mr. Stokes applied for a case, which was resisted by Mr. Shilson on the ground that it would be inflicting a hardship on the respondent - a poor man, who had already incurred considerable expense and lost much time in this case - to compel him into a contest with the crown, for the purpose of settling a point at law. After considerable delay and deliberation the court refused the application for a case. . DANIEL BRENDON, appellant: JUSTICES of LISKEARD, respondents. Mr. SHILSON appeared for the appellant; the respondents were unrepresented, and, in fact, there was no opposition to the appeal..[The Justices of Liskeard refused to grant a license to the appellant for selling wines and spirits by retail. Mr. Brenden, it appeared, was already duly licensed as an ale and porter merchant, and he was desirous of procuring a license to enable him to sell wines and spirits in quantities less than two gallons. His object was not to open a shop, or sell spirits over the counter or for consumption on his premises, but to provide his customers with amounts less than two gallons. He did not want his customers having to send their children to public houses for such purchases..There was no resistance to the application - in fact, there was a "numerously and very respectably signed memorial" from the residents requesting this application be approved. On Mr. Brendon's assurances and promises to not use his premises as a public house, nor sell for consumption on his premises, the court granted the license, at the same time expressing very strongly their determination to discourage an introduction into Cornwall of anything like the gin palace system.. JAMES BABB, appellant; JUSTICES of CALLINGTON, respondents. Mr. STOKES appeared for appellant; there was no attorney or advocate for the respondents..It appeared that Babb had formerly, for twelve years, kept reputably and without complaint of any kind, the Market-house Inn. About three years ago, in consequence of his term expiring, he left the Market-house Inn, and opened a beer-shop close to the adjoining stables which he had been obliged to hire for the accommodation of his customers at the inn. He had applied, unsuccessfully, for three consecutive years, to the Callington magistrates -J,B, MESSENGER, Esq., and the REV. RICE, for a license to open his beer-shop as an inn, and had been constantly refused. His present application was backed by memorials numerously signed, from leading inhabitants of Callington (including some respectable innkeepers), from forty-one farmers of the neighbourhood frequenting Callington market, and from carriers. The witnesses examined in support of the application were the appellant himself; HENRY BULLEN, constable; HENRY BULLEN, the younger, landlord of the Bull's Head Inn; THOMAS BETTY, constable; and GABRIEL EDWARDS, waggoner. After an examination of considerable length and minuteness, the court refused the application.. This concluded the business of the sessions. ...................................................................................................... Julia M.

The West Briton (Friday, 16 Oct 1857) reported the following death at Zennor: > DEATHS > > At Zennor Church Town, last week, the wife of Mr. William BERRYMAN, aged > 74 years. This is a curious case of the newspaper garbling a story that had previously been reported correctly. A week earlier the following had appeared in The West Briton (Friday, 09 Oct 1857): "At Zennor Church Town, on Saturday last, Mr. William BERRIMAN, aged 74 years." It was in fact William BERRYMAN (1784-1857), farmer, who died 03 Oct 1857 and was buried at Zennor on 06 Oct 1857. His wife Jennifer (ca.1785-1859, nee EDDY) lived another 15 months and was buried at Zennor on 14 Jan 1859. Bill Curnow Port Charlotte, FL, USA

The West Briton (Friday, 16 Oct 1857) reported the following death at Zennor: > DEATHS > > At Milldown, int he parish of Zennor, on Friday last, Mr. Henry QUICK, > aged 64 years... It is worth noting that this was "Henny" Quick (1792-1857) who gained renown as Zennor's poet. His story and some of his poetry were collected in a small book published by Truran in 1984, edited by the late Peter A. S. Pool, and entitled "The Life and Progress of Henry Quick of Zennor."

WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER 23 OCTOBER 1857 . CORNWALL MICHAELMAS SESSIONS - part 2 . WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 21 - before J.K. Lethbridge, Esq. . At the opening of the court this morning, Mr. BEVAN, Judge of the County Court for Cornwall, stated that Mr. Everest, the Governor of the County Prison, had represented to him that a debtor, SALLY CARDWELL, who had been committed to Bodmin gaol in July last, complained to the assistant matron of the gaol that, after being taken from Redruth to Truro, and placed in the charge of Mr. PEARCE, the contractor for conveying criminal prisoners, she was put in the Truro prison with a criminal prisoner who had itch and vermin, and with whom she was conveyed the next day to Bodmin gaol. Mr. Bevan said at[sic] appeared that the contractors for conveyance of those prisoners instead of themselves taking them to the gaol, chose to hand them over to a man who had hitherto been under contract for conveyance of criminal prisoners; their reason was that they were not sufficiently paid for doing otherwise, and they made an excuse, that they had been accustomed to pursue the same plan under the late judge, and had had no complaint made. . Mr. Bevan desired to express to the chairman his great obligations to Mr. Everest for reporting the circumstances of which he had spoken. He should at all times feel personally obliged to any county authority who would do him the favour to report any improprieties they might observe in the officers of his court; and he had very great pleasure in now acknowledging to the chairman the cordial co-operation and assistance he had hitherto received from all the county authorities. He hoped there would be no cause for any future complaint such as that he had now referred to. Mr. Everest said he had felt it his duty to report the matter. . Mr. BEVAN - It was not only your duty; but I feel very much obliged to you. . - MADDERN TREMBATH, a young man, was indicted for unlawfully and maliciously cutting and wounding Richard CASLEY; and in a second count he was charged with assaulting and beating Richard Casley. Mr. CORNISH conducted the prosecution; Mr. SHILSON the defence. . RICHARD CASLEY, the prosecutor, stated that he was a miner of St. Just. On the 21st of August he was at Levant mine with JAMES TREBILCOCK, MADDERN TREMBATH, and other persons. I and Trembath had come there by request of the agents. When I came out of the account-house door, I met Trembath there; and James Trebilcock and other parties were there. Young Trembath began "a blast of God d--n ye;" and Trebilcock told him if he was swearing at him, he would throw him over the hedge. Trembath said to Trebilcock, "wilt thee go over into the field with me?" Trebilcock made no reply; and Tembath's father said to Trebilcock, "If thee'st go out into the field, I'll put down a sovereign that my son will beat thee." . I told Trebilcock to go into the field, for a sovereign; and then the prisoner said to me “"f thee'st go out into the field, thee shalt never come out again alive, for I will rip thee up." After that we separated. . In the evening I went to the house of Trebilcock's mother, and there met Trebilcock, and about eight o'clock we went down through Warren's field and into a lane, where we met the prisoner who was alone; he again began to blast and swear as before, and said he would give me two inches of steel; he came towards me with an open knife in his hand raised up - a small-blade knife; I catched his left arm and threw him against the hedge; he raised his right hand over my head, and made a cut at me with the knife, and it came on the back part of my head; it cut the skin and flesh, and blood ran down my back. . Then the prisoner's father came forth and catched me by both collars and asked me what I was about; I let go the young man and turned round against the father; and the prisoner then struck the knife into my side. My wounds were afterwards dressed by Mr. Berryman of Penzance. (Witness produced a blue-striped shirt, worn at the time of the assault; it had marks of blood about the neck and side, and at the side there was also the mark of a small cut.) . CROSS-EXAMINED: I and the prisoner work at the same mine; there was no ill-feeling on my part towards him; the shoemaker at the mine had charged prisoner's father with stealing some leather, and on the 21st of August the matter was investigated at the account-house, and the charge was dismissed. . I did not say, when I came out of the account-house, that it should not end there, but that I would serve them out before the night was over; I said afterwards, at LEGGO's public-house, to the prisoner, that it should not be over yet, but I would tell Mr. BORROW, the purser. . When I left the public-house, I went home; I live in the same village with the prisoner. I see a wound on the prisoner's forehead; I did not make that wound; I should think his father did it; his father had him down, knocking his head against the ground. WILLIAM ANGWIN was the constable who came; I had the two stabs before he came; I did not tell the constable that I had been stabbed, but I had said so before to the people there. I believe it was the prisoner's father who sent for the constable, and gave his son into the care of the constable. There was another constable in the case - RICHARD WHITE, whom I sent for about half-past eight o'clock. . JAMES TREBILCOCK, a miner working at Botallack, was at the meeting in the account-house at Levant, on the 21st of August, and gave evidence generally confirmatory of the preceding as to the circumstances of the assault in the evening. Did not see prisoner strike a knife, or whatever it was, into Casley's side. Heard Casley say he was stabbed; that was before the constable came. . CROSS-EXAMINED: I saw the prisoner's father take the prisoner up and throw him violently on the ground and beat him most terribly. I heard the prisoner charge Casley with striking his head with a stone, and also with cutting his thumb with a knife. . RICHARD DENNIS, a lad, saw prisoner with a knife in his hand; and told him to put it in his pocket; he said "no, that was his guard." I told him a second time to put the knife in his pocket, for fear he should do mischief; he said he did not mean any other; he shut the knife and put it in his pocket, but took it out again and went on his road, and I saw no more of him. . ARTHUR BERRYMAN, surgeon of Penzance - The prosecutor came to me between six and seven o'clock in the morning of the 22nd of August; he said he had been stabbed. I found a wound on his left hip, and another on his head; the wounds were trifling, and were not in dangerous places, but I have no doubt had been made with some sharp-pointed instrument. There was a wound on the forehead that looked like a bruise. . CROSS-EXAMINED: The wound on the side was about a quarter of an inch in width, and the same in depth. The wound in the head was still less. On the same day I attended the prisoner; I found a large jagged wound in the head; the skull laid completely bare; it was an awkward wound, and might have been attended with serious consequences; it was such a would as was likely to have been made with a ragged stone. . MR. SHILSON opened the case for the defence, and called WILLIAM DIMOND, who heard Casley say outside the account-house, "it shall not be over yet; I will serve them out before the night is over." Heard the conversation about going into the field to fight, but did not hear prisoner say to Casley that if he (Casley) went into the field he should not come out alive, for that he (prisoner) would rip him up. If that had been said at the time stated I must have heard it, for I was close to the prisoner. . Between seven and eight o'clock in the evening I saw Casley and Trebilcock outside the Trembaths' front door leaning against the hedge in Warren's field; Casley was waving his hand and appeared to be in a state of great excitement; I saw them there in that position about five or ten minutes, and then they went down the field towards the place where the assault occurred. . I and Trembath the father went out at the back door, and when we got down the lane we saw Casley and Trebilcock leaning against a stile at the bottom of Warren's field. We made a little bit of a stand and saw a youngster come along, who appeared to be the prisoner; then I heard a noise of different voices, which I believe was the prisoner's, saying "I won't." The father said "That's my boy;" he ran on and I followed him and when we came to the spot the prisoner and Casley were on the ground scuffling, and Casley was cutting away and striking Trembath on the ground. Trembath was crying out that Casley was cutting his head abroad with a stone; and blood was flowing down his face so that we could hardly distinguish his features. . I never saw any knife in prisoner's hand, and never heard that he had one. Casley said nothing to me about a knife, or his having been stabbed, or anything of the sort; but he asked me if I would fight him, and I said "no;" he then said "then stand off, or I will serve you the same and will beat the lot of ye." I never saw any wound on Casley, and did not at any time hear of any. I did not see prisoner's father take up the prisoner and beat his head against the ground. . Evidence for the defence was also given by WILLIAM ANGWIN, constable at St. Just, MARGARET GUY, and MADDERN TREMBATH, the prisoner's father. . In summing up, the Chairman directed the Jury that the question was not as to which commenced the assault, or was most in fault with respect to it; but whether the prisoner had, in the course of the conflict, used a knife - whether he was guilty of stabbing deliberately and maliciously. The jury found a verdict of Not Guilty. . - EMILY CHADWICK, 17, was charged with stealing certain quantities of tin ore, the property of Wm. PAGE CARDOZO and others, adventurers in Pednandrea mine, at Redruth, on the 3rd of September last, and on several previous occasions. In a second court there was a charge of felonious receiving. Mr. CORNISH conducted the prosecution; Mr. SHILSON the defence. . ELIZABETH ANN HICKS, single woman residing at Redruth. - I work at Pednandrea mine, and the prisoner works there also. She was working there about March last. One day when we left work, about twelve o'clock, the prisoner said to me, "I want you a minute." She told me she was going to take a little tin, to sell. I told her that I would not do it for all the world, and that if she was going to take tin, I would not see her. I then left her and went to the head of my buddle; as I was wiping my face, I turned round and saw Emily Chadwick putting the last board on the kieve; I saw a bag on the floor besides the kieve and tin in the bag; it was tin cleaned and fit for the smelting-house. . I said, "Emily, if I was you I would not carry it away." She said "hold your tongue, Elizabeth Ann, and if you won't tell I'll give you a shilling or eighteenpence." Then she took up the bag of tin under her arm and carried it away out of the mine. That tin was the property of the adventurers. . CROSS-EXAMINED: It was a public open place, and twelve o'clock at noon. She carried it away under her shawl. I did not tell any of the adventurers or agents what I had seen; I said nothing about it till I was asked about it last month by Capt. CARPENTER, the head agent. . HARRIET ANN GRAY: I have worked at Pednandrea since February last; prisoner was at work there before I came there; we both worked in the tin yard. About a month or six weeks after I came there I went into the tin yard to look for my apron on the wall at the head of the buddle; I found there a shawl belonging to Emily Chadwick, and a bag underneath it, which I saw contained tin. . I went to Emily Chadwick and asked her if that was her tin. She said, "yes, but what you know keep to yourself." At dinner time I saw her take that bag from the wall, throw her shawl loosely over it on her arm, and carry it out of the mine. I recollect leaving the mine in the evening of the 2nd of September, leaving Emily Chadwick and some other girls there to work at night to get ready for sampling. I came to the mine next morning, about seven o'clock and put my apron on the top of the chest; between nine and ten o'clock I went to search for it, and then found a covered basket of tin at the head of Emily Chadwick's buddle; I lifted the cover and saw tin on it; I asked her if she was not afraid to carry it away through the streets; she said "what you know keep to yourself." I saw her take the basket from that place and carry it out of the yard. . CROSS-EXAMINED; It was about twelve o'clock in the day on the 3rd of September, when I saw her take that basket out of the mine. I could not be certain there was tin in the basket at that time. A little way out of the mine I saw her talking to her father. About three-quarters of an hour after that, I again saw her with her father, who had then taken the basket from her. I did not mention this matter to the agents; was afraid; the first person I named it to was my father. . RICHARD WILLIAMS PEARCE, agent at Pednandrea, proved that the tinyard and tin there belonged to the adventurers, of whom there were several. Mr. W. PAGE CARDOZO being one. . CROSS-EXAMINED: I know the prisoner and her family; her grandfather was a person of station. . ANN PENROSE, examined only for the defence: I know Harriet Ann Gray; I think that she and I left the mine together for dinner on the 3rd of September; I don't know that I saw Emily Chadwick go away from the mine that day. . Mr. SHILSON addressed the jury for the defence; and, after a summing up by the Chairman, the jury found a verdict of Not Guilty. . - GILDEROY BROWN, sen., 39, tinker; GILDEROY BROWN, jun., 15, tinker; JOHN SMITH, 28, engraver; and MARY SULLIVAN, 29, were indicted for assaulting ROBERT CLEAVE, jun., ANN CLEAVE and ELIZABETH ANN CLEAVE of St. Kew, on the 18th September. This was a case of assault by vagrants. . Robert Cleave heard the cry of a child in the mill near his mother's house. He went out, saw the prisoner Sullivan, and asked her what she was doing to the child. She said, "the little devil won't tell me the way to Wadebridge." She used abusive language, and young Brown, one of the prisoners, then came and held Cleave, and took a brass ball from his pocket, and swore he would cut his brains out. Sullivan held up her hand to the other prisoners on the hill, and laid hold of Cleave by the hair. His mother came and said, "Run Robert, there are more coming." . He got free, and then the two men came up, one with an open knife and the other with a parcel. He ran towards home, ran past the house and went to his brother's for assistance. In the mean time, Sullivan knocked down his mother, Mrs. Cleave. Her daughter came, when two men pursued her towards the house, one with an open knife in his hand. The daughter ran in and barred the door. The elder Brown kicked the door, and swore he would kill all in the house if the door was not opened. . Dreadful language was used by the prisoners, and Mrs. Cleave was so much alarmed that she was unwell for several days; she had fits, and sent for a surgeon. The prisoners were captured by WILLIAM COCK and others. WILLIAM BRAY, constable of Bodmin, apprehended Sullivan, and found the knife in her possession which Smith had when the outrage took place. The jury found the four prisoners Guilty. The court then rose. . (The trials were concluded this day; the sentences of the prisoners shall be given next week.) ...............................................................................................................................................................................

WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER - transcribed by J. Mosman 23 OCTOBER 1857 . CORNWALL MICHAELMAS SESSION - PART ONE . These Sessions commenced on Tuesday the 20th instant, at the County Hall, Bodmin, before the usual magistrates. J. King LETHERBRIDGE, Esq., Chairman. . The Chairman said he had received a note from MR. ENYS tendering his resignation of office, as member of the Gaol and Finance Committees. . TRIALS OF PRISONERS . - JOHN TRESERGE JAMES, 19, labourer, was charged with stealing 16 lbs. of lead fixed to a dwelling-house, the property of Sir J. S. GRAVES SAWLE, Bart., at St. Ewe, on or about the 1st of August. The felony, committed at Nansladron, an unoccupied house belonging to Sir Joseph, was clearly proved by the evidence of JOHN ALLEN and ROSAMOND WARNE, marine store dealers of St. Austell, Mr. CHRISTOPHER MERIFIELD, an agent of Sir Joseph SAWLE's, and HENRY BURNARD, police constable; and by the prisoner's statement. He was found Guilty, and a previous conviction was proved against him; he had been summarily convicted at the Truro Petty Sessions on the 26th of June last, of stealing thirteen eggs, the property of RICHARD PILL, of St. Clements, and was sentenced to one month hard labour. . - JOHN TRESERGE JAMES, and JAMES HARRIS, aged 12, were then charged with stealing 2 lbs of copper, also the property of Sir Joseph SAWLE, and from his house at Nansladron. On this charge James was acquitted, and Harris was found Guilty. . - WILLIAM COLWELL, 36, was charged with stealing eleven sheaves of wheat, the property of his master JOHN COWLING, at Jacobstow, on the 15th of August last. Mr. STOKES conducted the prosecution; Mr. SHILSON the defence. The prosecutor was a farmer living at Trekennard, in the parish of Poundstock, and occupying another farm, at which the prisoner was hind, at Dinnecombe, in the parish of Jacobstow. The trial resulted in an Acquittal. . - WILLIAM TONKIN,31, miner, was charged with stealing two tables, four chairs, one bed, and other articles, the property of EMANUEL CROCKER, at Calstock, on the 12th of July. As the case proceeded, it came out that the articles were the property of a person called WILLIAMS, now in Australia, who in leaving, gave Crocker authority to receive rents from him, but for no other purpose. The property being therefore wrongly laid in Croker, the Chairman directed an Acquittal. [Croker/Crocker spelled in 2 different ways.] . - GEORGE PERRYMAN, 27, labourer, committed from Redruth for want of sureties in a breach of the peace towards his father, was admonished and discharged. No one appeared against him; and according to the prisoner's statement, his only offence was that he stoop [stood?] up in behalf of his mother during a hasty and not very violent fracas between his father and mother. . The following bills were ignored: JOHN DYER, stealing a hammer, the property of JAMES FELL at Bodmin; and THOMAS GRANT, obtaining, by false pretences, money from WILLIAM WERRING, and some articles of food from HENRY BULLEN. . SECOND COURT, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, Before C.B. GRAVES SAWLE, Esq. . -JOHN STONEMAN, 14, was indicted for stealing a mare, the property of WILLIAM SOLOMON, of Kenwyn, on the 29th of July last. Verdict, Guilty. The foreman of the jury remarked that they considered BENNET TRELOAR, who bought the mare of the lad, was very reprehensible; and the Chairman called Treloar into the box, and said he considered the conduct of persons like himself, who bought things of boys or other persons, under suspicious circumstances, and without proper inquiry, was the occasion of many robberies taking place; and he deserved to have his expenses as a witness disallowed. . - CHARLOTTE HOCKING, of St. Erth, was charged with stealing on the 1st instant, in that parish, a cotton chemise, the property of GRACE THOMAS. Guilty. . - RICHARD JEWELL, 18, pleaded GUILTY to a charge of stealing a piece of brass, value 4s., the property of MICHAEL DUNSTAN, of Kea, on the 13th instant. . - WILLIAM LETCHER, 23, was charged with stealing a brass candlestick, the property of JANE ENDEAN, at Kenwyn, on the 9th of August last. Verdict, Guilty. . - ELIZABETH PHILLIPS, 28, of Saint Agnes, was charged with assaulting ELIZABETH VARCOE, and occasioning grievous bodily harm, on the 9th of August last, and in a second count with a common assault. Prisoner was undefended; Mr. STOKES conducted the prosecution. . >From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner and Varcoe had some altercation about stealing potatoes and some water at the back of the prisoner's house, when the prisoner threw water over Varcoe. A close fight then ensued, when prisoner beat the old woman with a pitcher, and inflicted several wounds. . MR. WHITWORTH deposed to having seen VERCOE on the forenoon in question, and found her head bleeding profusely from a punctured would over the right ear, a considerable swelling around the wound, a swelling behind the left ear, a small cut on the nose, and bruises on the left eye. These wounds were such as would be occasioned by a broken pitcher, such as was said to have been used. He attended Varcoe for a month in consequence of these injuries, nine days of which time she was confined to her bed. . >From prisoner's statement it appeared that the parties had been long in the habit of quarrelling and provoking each other by language of the most abusive and foul character. Verdict, Guilty of a common assault, but recommended to the clemency of the court, on account of the provocation received by the prisoner. . - HENRY ALLEN, of Gorran, pleaded Guilty to a charge of stealing on the 13th instant, certain money and one flasket, twenty pieces of earthenware, and one steelyard, the property of JOSEPH BURTON, the younger, his employer. . - EDWARD ARMSTRONG, 30, was indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house of W. THOMAS, at St. Germans, on the 12th of September, and stealing a cloth jacket, waistcoat and trousers, pair of stockings, boots, two handkerchiefs, a shilling and a half crown. Prosecutor and his wife stated that they saw the clothes on leaving their house in the morning, and missed them on their return in the evening. . THOMAS STANTON, who lives a quarter of a mile from Thomas's house, stated that he saw the prisoner on the 12th of September, go in that direction, and particularly noticed him from his suspicious appearance. W. CLIFFORD, superintendent of police, apprehended the prisoner in Stonehouse-lane, on the morning of the 13th of September, and found the clothes now produced on his person. The prosecutor and his wife identified the clothes as their property. Verdict, Guilty. A former conviction was proved in 1856, when the prisoner was sentenced to eight months' hard labour for stealing various articles of clothing. . - ANN CHYNOWETH, 25, was charged with stealing a silver ring, the property of W. STONEMAN, at Camborne, on the 12th or 13th instant. Verdict, Not Guilty. . - SUSAN TOY, 22, was indicted for stealing a silk handkerchief, a satin neckerchief, and three knives and forks, the property of THOMAS KNUCKEY, at Camborne, on the 3rd of August. The prosecutor is a pawnbroker at Camborne, and the prisoner washed for his family in his house. JOHN WELSH, a collector of rags and bones, stated that he bought a yellow silk handkerchief on the 30th July from the prisoner, and a satin neckerchief and three knives and forks on the 5th of August. He sold the knives and forks to Mrs. MOSES, and retained the other articles in his possession until they were handed over to the superintendent of police. JANE PHILLIPS, housekeeper to Mrs. Moses, stated that her mistress purchased the knives and forks of Welsh. Prosecutor identified the articles produced as his property. The jury, however, were not satisfied that the prisoner stole them, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. . - MARY ANN GEORGE, 18, was indicted for stealing a sovereign and a half-sovereign from the person of WILLIAM RICHARDS, at Camborne, on the 16th instant. Richards deposed that he works at Bassett mine, and that their pay day was on the 16th October. He received three sovereigns and two half-sovereigns as his pay, after which he walked from Pool to Tuckingmill. He overtook the prisoner and JANE MITCHELL, and went with them to Hunter's Hotel, in Tuckingmill, and treated them to some drink. They drank two quarts of porter and sugar and some shrub, for which he paid by changing a half-sovereign; his gold was then in his right waistcoat pocket and his change in his right trowsers pocket. . They left Hunter's at eight o'clock together, when his money was right, as he counted it; they then went to Camborne, and on going down Trelowarren-street, the prisoner put her hand into his right waistcoat pocket; when she withdrew it he put in his hand and found one sovereign and a half gone, and charged her with taking it. . He went about one hundred yards and entered WILLIAMS's beer-shop for a pint of beer, when they went away. JANE MITCHELL corroborated some parts of the evidence, but saw no money taken from prosecutor's pocket. It appeared the prisoner was intoxicated. The jury at once returned a verdict of Acquittal. . - EMMA HENDY, 19, charged with stealing money from the person of WILLIAM BONE, of St. Austell, on the 9th of September. It appeared that the prosecutor, a respectable looking young man of nineteen years of age, of the parish of St. Stephens, went to visit the prisoner, a prostitute of St. Austell, at her house, with 24s. in his pocket, consisting of two half-sovereigns and 4s. in silver; and, after giving her money, and having something to drink, he had left in his trowsers pocket two half-sovereigns and a four-penny piece, of which she contrived to rob him. Verdict, GUILTY. . - WILLIAM SMITH, 21, horse-trainer, was charged with breaking and entering the dwelling house of WILLIAM THOMAS at Sancreed, on the 28th August, and stealing certain money, a silk shawl, and a turnover, the property of the said William Thomas. In a second count he was charged with stealing from a dwelling house of the value of GBP 5. Mr. CORNISH conducted the prosecution. . WILMOT THOMAS, wife of the prosecutor, lived at Lower Drift. About five o'clock in the morning of Friday the 28th of August she went to work, leaving the house securely locked up. On her return about five or six o'clock in the evening, she found the outer gate untied, a pane of glass taken out of the parlour window, and heaved up. Going up stairs, she found that a chest of drawers which had been locked, was broken open, and from a box in the drawers there was taken away four sovereigns and eight half-crowns. In another drawer she found a penny loaf - one of two that had been baked together, and which was not in the drawer when she left in the morning. On the following Sunday morning she missed from the drawer in which she found the loaf, two shawls, which she afterwards gave to the policeman, after being shown to the woman of whom it was bought. . Other evidence was given, tracing the property to the possession of the prisoner, and showing that he had been in the vicinity of the house. Verdict, Guilty on the first count. . - EDWARD LEMIR, 30, labourer, was indicted for stealing a mare, a saddle, and a bridle, the property of JOHN BUTTON, at St. Mabyn, on the 17th of August. In this case, the prosecution offered no evidence, and the chairman accordingly directed a verdict of ACQUITTAL, observing that all imputation against the prisoner had been removed. . - JAMES EUSTICE, 12, pleaded Guilty of stealing a horse, value GBP 25, the property of JOHN BALL SMITH, the elder, at Creed, on the 14th of September. . - WILLIAM BEST, 47, labourer, pleaded Guilty, after a former conviction, of stealing a quantity of iron, the property of JOHN LOVERING and another at St. Austell, on the 13th of September. . - HENRY AGER, 21, schoolmaster, was charged with stealing forty-six copy books, five boxes of steel pens, a quantity of penholders, slate pencils, and copy-slips, two jars of ink, one brush, eleven church-catechisms, three prayer-books, twenty-four other books, and a variety of other articles, the property of the Guardians of the Falmouth Union, at Budock. Mr. STOKES conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was undefended, but was himself very active and pertinacious in cross-examining witnesses, and in addressing the court and jury. . JANE HILL, an elderly woman, stated that for three or four years she had been an inmate of the Falmouth Union house, and attended on the prisoner, who was schoolmaster there. In August last, saw him packing a great number of copy-books and other books in his own box, and saw the box afterwards wheeled away by two of the boys named Gibbs and Sincock, towards Falmouth; the prisoner going away with them. . THOMAS CROMPTON GIBBS, 13 years old; I belong to the Falmouth Union House; in August last, the prisoner gave me two boxes, and told me to take them to Mr. COMBE's. I helped with the boy Sincock, to bring these boxes down from the schoolmaster's sitting-room; and the prisoner was there when we took the boxes down stairs and put them out into the men's yard, and he helped us to put them in the barrow, outside the Union-house gates. We drove them to Mr. Combe's. The prisoner went with us some of the way, and at some parts of the road he would go on before us. . After taking the two boxes to Mr. Combe's on a Saturday, we took a trunk there on the following Monday, and on that day I saw the prisoner at Mr. Combe's. The prisoner had taught me to read; some of the books I used under him were the same as I had used before he came here; and I have seen him make marks in some of the Church Catechisms. . EDWARD SINCOCK, seven years old, gave evidence confirmatory of the preceding. . THOMAS SHEARSTON, serjeant of the county police, at Falmouth: On the 18th of August, about ten o'clock at night, I went to the house of THOMAS COOMBE, at Woodland, Falmouth, and took possession of a great quantity of books; there were three boxes altogether, and a bundle. Two of the boxes were nailed, and tied with cord; the other was only tied. I opened the boxes and took out the contents, a portion of which I produce. I took the prisoner into custody the same night, and stated the charge against him; he said it was a foolish thing of him. The next day, after his committal, he said he should not employ any person to defend him - he should not give any defense at all, and should not give any person half an hour's sport over his trouble. He said he was very foolish to have done what he had done for a few trifling articles like that; and he selected some of the books as the portion that belonged to the union; and he threw back several other books, which he said belonged to him. I produce those which he said belonged to the union. (Witness produced these books, and also the brush referred to in the indictment.) . JANE HILL, recalled, very positively identified the brush as one of four shoe-brushes which had been under her notice, and the boy GIBBS identified, by means of marks, various of the books. . WILLIAM JAMES GENN, clerk to the Falmouth Union: I recollect the prisoner becoming school-master of the Union; he was there in August last. On the 18th of August, the prisoner was sent for to be examined before a meeting of the Board of Guardians. I told him that, as he was about to leave his situation, it was desirable that everything should be settled as to stationary; and as a bill had been sent in by Mr. DIXON, stationer, the guardians desired to know if it was correct. I handed him that bill, and he returned it to me, saying that he believed it was correct. I have that bill here. I then asked him if the copy-books and other things charged in that bill were in the school. He said they were. I told him they appeared not to be there, and I asked him if the school-books were all there. He said one book perhaps might be in his box, and he would return it. I then held up Dixon's bill, which I had before put into his hands, and said "is it not true that many of those things are in your box?" He said there might be some copy books, and that he would return them or pay for them . He was told that could not be. . He then used an expression to this effect: Oh dear, gentlemen, do pray forgive me this once; and that he repeated. After that, there was some conversation in the board room, and in the course of it he said he did not know how it happened, except that he had been strongly tempted by Satan, and had yielded. . There was some conversation about the brush; he said he had brought a brush into the Union when he came there, and he had taken the brush that was found in place of it. This was before the constable had taken possession of his box. . The prisoner's statement before the committing Magistrates was: - I feel heartily sorry to think that I have done such a thing; I cannot account for it, unless it might be a strong temptation of Satan; my character has always been good before, but I find it will now be stained; I don't think I can say anything else; from the articles produced, I selected all that belong to the union, and they are now in the hands of THOMAS SHEARSTON, serjeant of police. . This closing the case of the prosecution, the prisoner addressed the jury at some considerable length. Verdict, Guilty of larceny as a servant. The prisoner humbly begged the mercy of the court, and that it would take into consideration the sufferings he had endured, and that his character, from childhood, had been highly esteemed. .................................................
