Large Rooms for Public Dinners, Meetings, Conferences, Arbitrations; also, for Balls. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE . RELIEF OF SUFFERERS BY THE INDIAN MUTINIES - In consequence of a numerously signed requisition, the Mayor of Penzance, Mr. COULSON, convened a meeting of the inhabitants, which was held at the Town Hall on Monday last, to devise means for aiding the sufferers by the Indian mutinies. … Mr. T.S. BOLITHO said he was satisfied that Cornwall, and West Cornwall, would do its best on this occasion, as it had ever done on similar occasions. . The Rev. W. W. WINGFIELD said there was a large class of our countrymen in India engaged in peaceful occupations and unused to war, at this present moment absolutely destitute, without food, house, clothing, or the means of subsistence - non-combatants, whose very profession should have secured them from the thousand horrors and privations which have fallen upon them. Having relatives of his own in India - among them a brother who has undergone a narrow escape for his life, and with whose fate even now he was totally unacquainted - and receiving as he did letters from them - he could speak very strongly on this point - that there is a large class of non-combatants, as enumerated by Mr. LE GRICE, calling for relief at the present moment, with as strong or even stronger claims than those for whom the patriotic fund was raised. (Cheers) . On the proposition of Mr. RICHARD PEARCE, Mr. E. BOLITHO was appointed treasurer of the fund to be raised, and Mr. COLLIVER, secretary. Mr. W. BORLASE asked whether the funds would be forwarded direct to London; or any other mode of distribution adopted. Mr. T.S. BOLITHO said, seeing that amongst the names of the London committee was that of their very active townsman, Mr. SEYMOUR TREMENHEERE; he would make a definite resolution that the money should be forwarded to London. The REV. G. HADOW said that throughout the adjacent parishes sympathy was generally felt, and in St. Just it was as universal as in Penzance, and a special meeting would be held there. . A conversation ensued as to the best mode of collecting subscriptions, in which Mr. BEVAN, the Rev. P. HEDGELAND, and Mr. LE GRICE took part. It was determined to collect in districts from house to house by means of committees as on the occasion of the patriotic fund. Mr. E. H. RODD moved and Mr. BATTEN seconded that the accounts be closed by the first of November. A subscription from Mr. WILLIAM COULSON, of Kenegie (GBP 5.5s.) was announced by Mr. CORNISH, and a subscription list was entered on in the hall, which amounted to GBP 134. . Mr. CARNE moved and Mr. T.S. BOLITHO seconded a vote of thanks to the Mayor, which was carried unanimously and acknowledged. . On Tuesday last, a meeting was convened at the Town Hall, Falmouth, for opening a subscription to contribute to the fund for the relief of the sufferers in India. The Mayor presided, and there was a committee formed, and steps taken to obtain a public subscription. . CHAPEL ANNIVERSARY - The anniversary of the Independent Chapel, Tregony, was held on Sunday, the 27th ult., when the Rev. R. PANKS, of Truro, preached in the morning and evening, and on Tuesday, the Rev. THOMAS SNELL, of Mevagissey, preached in the Wesleyan Chapel, which was kindly lent for the occasion. At five o'clock there was a public tea in the Independent Chapel. At the evening meeting, Mr. BOND, of Truro, presided, when addresses were delivered by Mr. SLADE, of Grampound, Mr. GANT, of St. Mawes, Mr. TABB, of St. Austell, and others. Upwards of 250 took tea, and the proceeds of the tea and collection amounted to GBP 20.8s.2d. . HELSTON GRAMMAR SCHOOL - MR. JAMES WEARNE, a pupil of this school, and the son of Mr. JAMES WEARNE, of Helston, has succeeded in obtaining an appointment of the value of about GBP 130 per annum, in her Majesty's Census Office, London, after a severe competitive examination, lasting for a week. This is the more honourable to Mr. Wearne, as at the time of examination he was a week under the prescribed age (17); and among the competitors were several gentlemen by many years his senior. . The following were the prizes awarded at the recent school meeting: The Colesworth Exhibition (second year) to PENDER H. CUDLIP, of Exeter College, Oxford, and the Head Master bore testimony to the high character of the reports received concerning him. The Trevenen Exhibition was awarded to CHARLES G. STEWART, who was unable to be present at the meetings. Medals and prizes to the value of above GBP 13 were presented to the boys, who had most distinguished themselves in the examination. Of these prizes the handsome donations of the Rev. R. COWLEY POWLES, and Mr. THOMAS ROGERS, jun., of Reading (tw( old Helston scholars) formed an important part, and the Helston Town Council presented GBP 1.11s.6d. All the books were beautifully and uniformly bound by Mr. NUTT of Cambridge. . The classical medal given by the late Rev. Canon ROGERS, was presented to VIVIAN WEARNE, and the mathematical medal given by Mr. F.C. JOHNS, of Carrick-fergus, to SIDNEY CLARKE. The mathematical medal was given this year for the first time. The Head Master's prize for divinity was awarded to VIVIAN WEARNE. The next prize (which was given by Mr. THOMAS ROGERS, jun., of Reading) a liberal supporter of the school, to the boy who, in the opinion of his schoolfellows, had been most diligent in prosecuting his studies during the year, was presented to RICHARD TREVITHICK. . The Head Master also presented the following: - Geography, first prize, E. OSLER; Modern History, first prize, F.W. CURRY; Divinity, second prize, WALTER WEARNE; Classical, second prize, THOMAS LUCAS; French, second prize, F.W. CURRY; Geography, second prize, R.A. DANIELL; Modern History, second prize, W. V. POPHAM; Divinity, third prize, F.P. PORTEOUS; Classical, third prize, W.A. HAMMON; French, third prize, C.F. ROGERS; extra prizes, (presented by the Rev. R. C. POWLES); Greek and Roman History, first prize, Vivian WEARNE; second prize, SIDNEY CLARKE. . THE DOLBY CONCERT - [a very lengthy, detailed review of the performances, which has been greatly shortened.] "The concert opened with a glee for five voices, "Come see what pleasures," in which Miss Marian MOSS, Mr. FOSTER, Mr. Wilbye COOPER, Mr. Montem SMITH, and Mr. WINN most ably acquitted themselves… In the solos, Miss DOLBY was of course pre-eminent. She sang a recitative and aria from "Nitoeri," by Mercadante, in which the magnificent power and high culture of her voice were at once apparent…[the reviewer then pointed out the singers from London sang delicately, "articulating the words of the song most distinctly, as indeed was done by the whole of these well-trained vocalists, wherein they presented a marked contrast to the efforts of some of our local singers, who seem to care nothing about the articulation of words."…] . LAUNCH - There was launched, on the 2nd inst., from the building yard of Mr. JOHN EDWARD, at Scilly, a clipper dandy called the "Star," about seventy tons B.M. and classed A1 for eight years. This vessel is the property of Messrs. F. BANFIELD and Sons, and Captain JOHN JENKINS, who also commands her. She is intended for the coasting trade. . TOWEDNACK FAIR - This fair held on the 22nd ult., was as usual well supplied with fat cattle, the greater part of which met a ready sale. The weather being fine the pleasure fair was well attended. . FALMOOUTH - During the gale on Tuesday night and Wednesday, the shipping in the port rode out securely, although the weather was very bad. The "Sir Francis Drake" steamer did not arrive from Plymouth on Wednesday evening. . CAMELFORD - On Monday last, Mr. W. G. PEARSE was elected Mayor for this borough for the year ensuing. . TRURO TURNPIKE TRUST - The tolls arising from the trust were let this week for the large sum of GBP 4,550 to Mr. JOHN DUNSTAN, jun., and Mr. DREW, after a spirited competition, being a larger amount than they ever realized before. . PENZANCE COUNTY COURT - His Honor again made Saturday an extra day, and on that occasion heard a case which had been adjourned for two or three courts. JOHN NANKERVIS sued MADRON TREMBATH, for GBP 3, damages caused by an assault. . The parties were both miners of St. Just, and on the 24th of June last were at Pendeen Regatta. Nankervis and Trembath got into an affray. The duration and character of the fight was variously described by the witnesses on each side, but the fact was not denied that in the course of it, Nankervis's finger got into Trembath's mouth and was severely bit and tenaciously held there. Nankervis was kept from work three months, his finger inflamed and five pieces of bone worked out, and it was now useless. . Trembath said he bit as a matter of urgent self-defence, for Nankervis tried to gouge his eye out; Nankervis said that it was done in a savage way and without any necessity. Mr. PASCOE conducted the case; Mr. MILLETT defended Trembath. His Honor explained the law applicable to assaults to the jury, and enumerating the facts of the case remarked on its disgraceful nature. The jury gave a verdict for GBP 5. . JAMES JAMES was committed for twenty-eight days for non-payment of a debt, and sent off at once to Bodmin. On Monday there were twenty-two adjourned and sixty-seven new cases, and on Tuesday thirteen new and thirty-seven judgment summonses. . PENZANCE POLICE - On Monday last, before the Mayor, Mr. T. COULSON, and Messrs. J.J.A. BOASE, J. BATTEN and W. BORLASE, magistrates, a woman called SUSANNAH MADDERN was charged with harbouring females of bad character. The case was proved by police officers OLDS and WALLIS, and the full penalty of GBP 5 was inflicted, or three months imprisonment, the prisoner having previously been convicted five times. She was taken to prison. . FRANCIS ANGWIN was charged with cruelty to his horse. Messrs. JOHN COLENSO, FREDERICK CURNOW, and WILLIAM CHAPPELL, proved that Angwin beat his horse most shamefully while it was coming up Quay-street with an empty cart, using his whip handle instead of his whip. All the street was alarmed and disgusted at the conduct of the defendant, who was drunk. Angwin was convicted on the 3rd of August of a similar act of cruelty, which cost him 16s. He was now mulcted in 20s., and costs; in default to be imprisoned one month. The money was paid. . WILLIAM CHIRGWIN, of Illogan, was fined 5s. and costs, altogether GBP 1.13s.6d., for assaulting JOHN COCKING, of Redruth, shopkeeper and relieving officer, on the 17th ult., in a third-class carriage of the West Cornwall Railway. . ACCIDENT - At Hayle last week, as a man in the employ of Mr,. H. TREVITHICK, was in the act of backing a horse and cart towards the edge of the quay (near the West Cornwall viaduct) the animal grew restive, and retrograding too much, fell over the quay into the hold of a vessel lying under. The horse, a fine grey, was killed on the spot, the injuries to the head being such as to occasion instant death, and the cart was smashed, thus causing a loss of, probably, GBP 40 or GBP 45. . CORONER'S INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held before Mr. JOHN JAGOE, county coroner: . On the 26th ult., at the East Cornwall Powder Mills, near Herodsfoot, on the body of SAMUEL HOAR, who, with three other workmen, was killed on Friday, the 25th ultimo, by an explosion of gunpowder in the breaking-house of the powder mills. The investigation lasted many hours, and was attended by some of the proprietors of the mills, who were very anxious to ascertain the cause of the explosion. . >From the evidence of the foreman it appeared that the manufacture of powder was conducted on the same principle as at other powder mills, and that rules and regulations for the conduct of the workmen were posted in different parts of the works. The cause of the explosion could not be ascertained, and the jury, after a long deliberation, delivered the following verdict: "That Samuel Hoar, and three other men, were accidentally killed on Friday, the 25th day of September last, by an explosion of powder at the East Cornwall Powder Mills, near Herodsfoot. The jury considered that more powder was in the breaking-house than was necessary for keeping the different mills in regular working, to the danger of the men in the breaking-house, as well as the other men on the works, and to the inhabitants around." . THE following inquests have been held before Mr. HICHENS, county coroner: . On the 3rd inst., in the parish of Phillack, on the body of JOSEPH HENRY MOORSHEAD, aged about 23 years, who was a kibble-filler at Alfred Consols mine, in that parish, and on the 2nd inst., whilst ascending from the 40 fathoms level, where he had been previously working, accidentally fell into the shaft, a depth of fifteen fathoms or more, and thereby received such injuries as to occasion his immediate death. Verdict accordingly. . On the 6th instant, at Newlyn, in the parish of Paul, on the body of ELIZABETH ANN HODDEN, aged about 19 years, who having gone to bed on the night of Sunday last, apparently in perfect health, except that she complained of headache, was found on the following morning in a state of insensibility and speechless, and remained so up to the time of her death, which happened shortly after, and before medical aid could be procured. Verdict, "Natural death." .................................................................................................. Julia M.

Hi Joy I asked for your help with Family Search back in April and although you gave me advice nothing worked. In frustration I gave up and went on holiday. I have come back to the battle and after trying all sorts of ideas my husband suggested it was Internet Explorer. I have version 10 and he has version 8. I tried his computer and it worked but still not on my version 10 on my computer - it just locks up and doesn't even give me the same screen. Next we installed Firefox and halelujah! it is working! I must apologise for not thanking you before but I am sure you will appreciate the frustration. Anyway thanks, and if anyone else asks for advice you will know what may be the problem. I know you all try hard to help us with problems Thankyou, Shirley Benn

Hello all, Could sks who knows sufficient Mediaeval Latin to be able to translate for me what I believe to be a will, extracted from one of the Visitations please contact me. The original, if I have copied it correctly, starts, "Noverint universi per praesentes me 'JOHANNEM DOKETON de Kilkhampton' attornasse assignasse de dilectos mihi ... loco meo posuisse JOHANNEM RATTENBURYE, WILLELMUM FORD meos veros et legitimos attornatos etc." The whole document is about five times the length of this extract. Many thanks in anticipation Phil Rattenbury

You're welcome, Jim. I agree that continental Europe can be the very devil, probably because of the large number of wars that have raged over it during many centuries. I come originally from South Africa where things are reasonably easy, mainly because of the peculiar Roman-Dutch system of Common Law, under which meticulous records were kept of every deceased estate's administration from the founding document, called a Death Notice (and not to be confused with a Death Certificate which is given by the attending medical practitioner as proof of death for the BMD registration authorities), to the final distribution of the estate to its creditors and beneficiaries. I worked in that system for a couple of years around 1960, and at that time the floor-limit for the requirement to lodge a death notice was a mere 200 pounds (approximately on a par with the UK pound in those days); it is a great deal more now, and in those days it did not apply to indigenous (black) Africans, whereas of course it does now, which, together with the enormous inflation since then, accounts for the much higher floor of today. (The Roman-Dutch law was superseded in the Netherlands by the Code Napoleon, and only survives today in South Africa, Zimbabwe (civil law only -- what criminal law they have had since independence is based on English common law and on statute) and Sri Lanka. The former Dutch Guiana was held long enough to get the Code Napoleon and I think it still applies. My own maternal grandmother's family (who was Afrikaans) has been traced back to a certain German, name of Haarhoff, who joined the Dutch East India Company at its branch office in Texel and ended up in 1819 at the Cape as a "knecht" (a small cut above a bondsman) in the service of a widow called le Febre (presumably her name is of Huguenot origin, which was quite common at the Cape in the period following the resumption of the persecution of protestants in France). He seems to have been a real scamp, and finished up running through her considerable fortune, after a rocky start with her when what amounted to a breach of promise case was brought against him in the Company's courts by a young girl of 16; he survived his wife and died destitute some time in the mid-19th century. By way of redemption of the name, my mother's first cousin was Professor T J Haarhoff of the University of the Witwatersrand (in Johannesburg), a most illustrious academic with doctorates from one Dutch and one German university; he was Professor of Classics, and died in the 1970s. Despite the aforementioned wars etc., I was delighted to find, in Nuremberg, a delightful little cafe called "Zum Guldene Stern" ("At the sign of the Golden Star") which was established in 1413 and has never closed its doors since except on Christmas Day each year, right through all those wars and insurrections and reshaping of empires. But genealogy is another matter, despite the German passion for keeping records of absolutely everything -- much has been destroyed in successive wars. And, I found when I was in Dublin, the same goes for Ireland, for the same reason. Very frustrating!

In Dutch, and particularly in Flemish Dutch, the long A is often spelt AE; however, for this to be the case, the C would almost certainly be incorrect. Also in Dutch, the name equivalent to English LUKE is LUKAS, i.e. a short A, not a long one; and in Dutch, the single letter A is not pronounced as in CLAP, but as in the German MAN, with the AA or its AE variant being the same sound but longer. But if the bridegroom was illiterate and the Recto ignorant of Germanic languages, there might have been nobody present to give a correct pronunciation.

A French version of my favorite show! How wonderful for you. I wonder if we will ever get it here in the U.S. Did they have English to read? You'd be surprised to see how popular Doc Martin is here. I must try to wait patiently for series six. English English can be a problem for us, but this one is not. The problem is often the cadence of the speech. The accent is not a problem. Please pass on any word about the series.

Hi Everyone, This is a bit of a long shot but how is the name Luckey pronounced down in Cornwall? Is it Lucky, Loo-key, Luke-kays...? I'm looking for a Christian Luckaes, married 22nd February 1821 in Sixpenny Handley Dorset. Lucas/Luckas was a common name around there and yet the Rector crossed out Luckas and rewrote Luckaes - as neither the bride or groom could write I very much doubt they knew how to spell or whether the Rector was spelling the name correctly: I'm just wondering if he was trying to get a close phonetic spelling?? Thanks Jim

They have been filming Series 6 in and around Port Isaac since March, so must be nearing completion by now.
