Q U E E N ’ S B E N C H. THURSDAY, MAY 8. LEWARN v. HENWOOD. – HENWOOD v. LEWARN. – These were two actions between the same parties to try the right to some property in Rosewin Row, Truro. Just previous to the last summer assizes they were agreed to be referred to the arbitration of … W.H. BOND and Mr. William CLYMA, or their umpire, Mr. Silvanus JAMES. The arbitrators held several meetings, and after examining between thirty and forty witnesses, had almost agreed, as it appeared by the affidavits, in finding all points in favour of Mr. LEWARN; but they differed as to the costs of the proceedings and thereupon Mr. James, the umpire, was called in; and he ultimately made his award in favour of MR. Lewarn, and directed all the costs to be borne by Miss Henwood. Last Hilary term Mr. LUSH, on her behalf, had obtained rules nisi for setting aside the award, on the ground the umpire had made his decision upon a mere view of the premises, without examining any witnesses; and in one case upon a technical objection to the form of the award. Mr. COLLIER, Q.C., and MR KINGDON, showed cause against the rules, on several affidavits, showing that in order to save expense it had been agreed at the first meeting to save expense it had been agreed at the first meeting between the parties and their solicitors, that in case the umpire was called in, it should not be necessary to re-examine the witnesses before him, but that it should be sufficient for the arbitrators to report to him the evidence they had taken. MR. EDWIN JAMES, Q.C., said he must admit that the affidavits in reply gave a complete answer to those on which the rules had been obtained, but he hoped the court would give no costs. MR. COLLIER contended that the grounds on which the applications to set aside the awards were made, were contrary to good faith, and the express agreement of the parties; and MR. JUSTICE COLERIDGE, after referring to the affidavit said these were clearly cases in which costs should be given, and the rules in both cases were accordingly discharged with costs. – Attorney for Miss Henwood, Mr. WEYMOUTH, London; attorney for Mr. Lewarn, Mr. CHILCOTT, Truro.

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