West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 27th June, 1856. Part 2. THE MILITIA - It appears from a parliamentary return, that the Royal Cornwall and Devon Miners Artillery, the South Devon, and the Devon Artillery regiments were amongst the thirty-three regiments of English militia who volunteered for service abroad during the late war. FOWEY - This port was inspected on Tuesday last, by Rear-Admiral SAURIN, one of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs, accompanied by his Secretary, J. SMITH, Esq. ROYAL ARTILLERY - Among the late brevet promotions we observe the name of Captain SHADWELL MORLEY GRYLLS, of the Royal Artillery, to be Major. This officer has been appointed adjutant to the artillery at present at Constantinople. A WARNING TO WIFE BEATERS - On Friday last, WILLIAM DUNSTONE, a broom-maker, at Penzance, was charged before the Mayor and Mr. BATTEN, magistrate, with ill-using his wife. On Thursday night, at eleven o'clock, the screams of a woman were head at Marine Terrace and Chyandour Cliff, which proceeded from JANE DUNSTONE, who lives at Causeway Head. Her husband had struck her violently on the back, and then grasped her by the throat, when she was rescued by police constable HILL. She has been the mother of eleven children, who all died young, and it is stated that Dunstone has frequently struck her to the ground and greatly ill-used her. For his savage brutality, he was committed to the borough gaol for one month. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT - On Monday last, the Redruth cricket club went to St. Columb to play a match with the club at that town, in which they came off the victors. They returned late at night, in a four-horse omnibus, and entered Truro about midnight, shouting, and making a great noise. The omnibus stopped at the Royal Hotel, to feed the horses, and during their stay in the town, either some of the members of the club, or persons who accompanied them, behaved in a disorderly manner in the streets; in consequence of which they were remonstrated with by Mr. NASH, police superintendent, and told that if they did not conduct themselves better, they would be locked up on the station-house. After this, they remained tolerably quiet until the departure of the omnibus, about a quarter before one in the morning. There were about eighteen or twenty, some riding on the top of the omnibus and others inside; and as they proceeded through Daniell Street, some of the parties conducted themselves in a most discreditable manner, by throwing things into the windows. They broke in this way the bed-room windows of eleven houses, by throwing in ornamental shells and a small image, such as are placed on mantel-pieces, pence and half-pence, a small lump of lead ore, &c. The fragments of glass were knocked all over the beds, and the lead ore fell very near a sleeping infant. In another part of the street they tried to break down the sign of Mr. UREN, painter, with some branches of trees they carried on the top of the omnibus. The inhabitants of the small horses in that street, who are mostly poor labouring men, could not get down to avenge themselves for this wilful damage of their property, until the omnibus had gone beyond their reach; but on Wednesday last they applied to the magistrates, and in consequence Mr. Nash went to Redruth, and summoned eight of the delinquents to answer for their misconduct before the magistrates at Truro on Saturday next. TRURO POLICE - On Wednesday last, ELISHA RANDLE, beershop keeper, Kenwyn Street, was summoned before the magistrates for having his house open for the sale of beer, on Saturday night last, at twenty-five minutes to twelve o'clock, when he ought to have closed at eleven. He pleaded guilty, and it being his first offence, he was cautioned by the magistrates, and the case was dismissed on paying expenses. CHARGE OF ASSAULT AND ROBBERY - On the 16th inst., WILLIAM ROBINS, a mason, was charged before Mr. CHILDS, Mayor of Liskeard, and Messrs. ANSTIS and JONES, borough magistrates, with robbing and assaulting JOHN STEED, on Saturday the 7th inst., at Moorswater. Steed and his brother were leaving the inn at Moorswater, when they were followed and knocked down by the prisoner, who beat John Steed when on the ground. Steed's brother stated that after being knocked down, he crawled away on his hands and knees, fearing what the prisoner, and some men who were with him, might do to him. He afterwards returned and found his brother lying on the ground insensible, and almost all his money gone. It appeared that John Steed had received some violent blows on the head, and was in a precarious condition. There was conflicting evidence, however, in the case, and the magistrates considered there was no proof of robbery, but they committed the prisoner for trial at the quarter sessions for the assault. DARING ROBBERY - On Saturday morning, the 14th instant, about two o'clock the house of Mr. ROBERT KEAST, of Trevaul, St. Neot was broken into, and a box stolen which contained silver teaspoons, three silver watches, a five pound note, silver and copper coins, notes of hand, and other articles. The old man and his niece were alone in the house. The men who entered had their faces covered; one of them held Mr. Keast, another held his niece; and the third walked off with the box. NARROW ESCAPE FROM SHIPWRECK - The "Germania," from Cork to Weymouth, with the 1st Devon Militia on board, after remaining off the Land's End in a thick fog for twenty consecutive hours, ignorant of her exact position, suddenly, on the afternoon of the 13th, found herself on the rocks at Sennen Cove, Land's End, and was in imminent danger of being lost with her freight of
