JOHN DAW. Clerk 16 September, 1856 ...... . WRECK OF THE SCREW STEAMER "ZEBRA" OFF THE LIZARD . An inquiry ordered by the Board of Trade, was held on Monday, in St. George's Hall, Liverpool, before Mr. J. S. MANSFIELD, and Captain SCHOMBERG, to ascertain the causes which led to the wreck of the "Zebra" (screw-steamer) bound from Havre to Liverpool. Mr. TINDAL appeared to conduct the inquiry on the part of the Board of Trade, Mr. ASPINWALL appeared for the Captain; and Mr. BATESON watched the case on behalf of the Owners. . WILLIAM ELLIOT BETTS, captain of the screw-steamer "Zebra", belonging to Messrs. MacIver and Co., and trading between Liverpool and Havre: On the 21st July last the "Zebra" left Havre, about one p.m., with 24 passengers and 39 officers and crew, for Liverpool. At about two o'clock the following morning saw the Start, which I had previously seen about twelve. At two o'clock it was N.E. by E., five or six leagues, the weather then being quite clear although it had previously been foggy at intervals. Witness left the deck at three, and was again on deck at four, soon after which he left the deck in charge of the chief officer, with orders that he (witness) should be called in case of seeing the Lizard, or if the weather should become foggy. . Witness was called at six as the Lizard land was seen on the starboard bow; at this time it was becoming foggy. Witness immediately went out, and saw land from the quarter deck, which he considered to be the Black Head, and the land to the westward to be the Lizard. Took the bearing of the Black Head by compass; it was N.N.E. ½ E., and estimated the distance at about twelve miles. After taking the bearings, marked the ship's position by those on the chart, and shaped a course N.W. ¾ N., clear of the Lizard near Land's End. Witness remained on deck, and finding that the fog was rising, altered the course a point more to the westward. After this, the fog becoming very dense, witness went to the engine room and ordered the engineer on watch to proceed at half speed, and to stand by the engines, to stop at a moment's warning, if necessary. . About half an hour after altering the course, on looking over the starboard side, witness saw something white having the appearance of land, and immediately called to the man at the wheel to put the helm hard a starboard, and heard the first officer give the same order at the same instant. Almost immediately after the vessel struck. . Witness then considered it best to lose no time in landing the passengers, and launched the boats, putting the women and children in first. So soon as witness saw them safely landed he returned to the vessel, and commenced removing the luggage, stores, and cargo. Shortly after the vessel fell over. . Witness considered the accident to have occurred in consequence of the ship not having held her course after making the Start. This might have arisen from the action of a current, or from the peculiar haze causing them wrongly to estimate the distance. . By MR. ASPINAL - Witness has been at sea for twenty years, ten of which he has been a master. Had been a master of a steamer for twelve months past in April last. Has been principally engaged in the North American service, by the same company which owned the Zebra. Since he had been in the Zebra he had been chiefly engaged in the transport service in the Black Sea. . The fog on the occasion referred to was a singular one, lifting and falling. At the time the vessel struck, witness considered they were fully ten miles off the Black Head, which, if correct, would have given ample room for passing the Lizard land. The witness underwent a long examination by Captain SCHOMBERG upon minute points relative to the deviation of the compass, the propriety of using the lead, and other technical details of seamanship. . ALLEN KENNEDY, chief mate of the Zebra was the next witness called. He was examined at considerable length by Mr. TINDAL, but the main features of his evidence were merely confirmative of that given by the proceeding[sic] witness. . By Captain SCHOMBERG - Witness kept watch from eight to twelve and during that time the vessels course was N.W. 1/2W., and was distant from the Start, as far as witness could judge, about eighteen or nineteen miles. Witness did not hear an order given to ease the engines, nor did he perceive that they were so at the time land was first seen, and the captain was called. When we first saw the Start light it was a clear night, and from the experience which witness had had, should say it was eighteen or nineteen miles off. . WENTWORTH COLE, the third officer of the "Zebra" was next called, and, in answer to Mr. TINDAL, he said he was perfectly sure the ship's course was N.W. 3/4N., after the captain was called up, and this was continued for two hours. This was afterwards changed considerably more to the northward of N.W. The ship answered her helm when the order was given "hard a starboard." The engines were not reversed, as the vessel bilged at once. The captain remained by the wheel. . GEORGE BENTHMAN, the helmsman at the time the vessel struck, was called, and examined by Mr. TINDAL. The course he got from the man he relieved was N.W. ¾ N., and this was shortly after altered by the captain's order to N.W. ¼ W. The ship struck heavily stern on; she struck twice. . WILLIAM PATERSON, the engineer in charge of the "Zebra" from four till eight of the morning of the accident, was next called He said - shortly before the accident he got orders to go at half speed, and set the engines to that by half shutting the throttle valves. The alarm bell was rung after this to stop, but the sound was not out of the bell when the vessel struck. Should think it was about five minutes after the order for half speed was given that the vessel struck. . JOHN G. WICKMAN, captain of the steamship "Niagara," was called, and said he had commanded a screw-steamer in the Liverpool and Havre trade for three years. He had observed that a current set in towards the Black Head in the flood tide, when the wind was southerly. In foggy or thick weather it would be impossible to see this, and a stranger might readily be deceived in regard to it. He had himself been sometimes led into a suspicion by it that his compasses had deviated. When he had seen the head lights he never considered it requisite to use the lead, and should not under the circumstances have directed the lead to be thrown. . MR. MANSFIELD said Captain Schomberg and himself should take time to consider the subject in all its bearings, and, after having done so, would deliver their judgment. . LOCAL INTELLIGENCE . TOWEDNACK FAIR - This fair on Tuesday last, as usual, was well supplied with both sheep and cattle, some of which were of first rate quality, and sold briskly. The pleasure fair also was well attended. The ordinary was served up in the usual good style of MRS. DUNSTAN, at which a greater number of farmers and butchers sat down and enjoyed themselves. . BUDE FAIR - The fair on Monday last was not so full as is usual, owing to the very heavy rain and wind during the morning and the whole of the day. Sales were rather dull and prices rather lower. There was a good sprinkling of holiday folks in spite of wind and weather. . CONCERTS - The morning and evening concerts at Penzance on the 19th instant, were numerously attended, and highly appreciated. In the morning the chaste rendering of Haydn's "Hymn to the Emperor," was especially applauded. Miss HANSFORD's fine delivery of the beautiful aria "With Verdure Clad," was much admired; and Miss LASCELLES, who has greatly improved, and is likely to become one of the first of English contralto singers, sang to perfection in Handel's charming duet, "O lovely peace." . The instrumental performers, Mr. BLAGROVE and Herr HAUSMANN, were equal to what we reported of them in the concert at Truro. Mr. Blagrove's pure tone and superior bowing on the violin, and Herr Hausmann's masterly performance on the violoncello were extremely admired. Mr. WYNN, baritone, has a good voice, and sang with considerable taste and feeling. These artistes were ably assisted by Mr. NUNN and Mr. HEMMINGS, of Penzance. At Falmouth on Friday evening, the concert was held at the Royal Hotel, and was fully attended. The performances gave equal satisfaction with those at Penzance; and Miss Lascelles was especially applauded for the charming manner in which she sung Donizetti's "Il Segreto." . PILCHARD FISHERY - At Mevagissey the seans are all put out of pay; the fish have drawn off, and there is at present no prospect of more catches. The fish have all been sold to Messrs. G.C. and R.W. FOX and Co, of Falmouth. Drift, at 42s.6d; scans, at 47s.yd. per load. It has been a successful season at Mevagissey, there being about 4,000 hogsheads of fish in the town. . EMBEZZELMENT - On Friday last, a person named LARK, of St. Austell, was charged before Mr. E. COODE, jun., with embezzling money from his employer, Mr. HITCHINS, merchant, of St. Austell, and was committed for trial, but bail was accepted for his appearance, himself in GBP 20 and two sureties in GBP 10 each. . TRURO POLICE - On Monday last, before the Mayor and Mr. PADDON, JOHN STEPHENS, brushmaker, was charged with assaulting police-constable GEORGE PAPPIN, whilst in the execution of his duty. . [On Saturday night last, Mr. RICHARD SPARKS, innkeeper, West Bridge, sent to the police-station for a constable, and in consequence, Pappin was despatched. According to the landlord's statement, Stephens was drunk, and while in the taproom insulted and challenged other persons to fight. The landlord attempted to eject him, when he delivered a severe blow to the landlord's face. On the arrival of the policeman, Stephens was in the street, surrounded by a number of people. The landlord told him he would not give him into custody if he would go away, but Stephens refused to do so, and when the constable tried to take him into custody, Stephens commenced striking and kicking the policeman, and his wife, CATHERINE STEPHENS, came up, and also struck and kicked Pappin. . However, the latter obtained assistance from the station, and from bystanders; both Stephens and his wife were secured, and with some trouble conveyed to the station. The man would not walk, and the police had to carry him. The assault being proved, Stephens was fined 5s. and costs; his wife, not having been in custody before, was discharged with a caution. . WM. PENNALIGGON, a carrier, was fined 5s. And costs for assaulting police-constable GEORGE VINCENT whilst in the execution of his duty, about twelve o'clock on Saturday night last. WILLIAM MOUNTSTEVEN was charged with assaulting police-constable JOHN GAY, whilst in the execution of his duty. . Gay was assisting Vincent to convey Pennaliggon to the station when he dropped his lamp, which was taken up by Mountstevens, who refused to return it to the policeman. Gay took hold of him, upon which Mounsteven struck him a severe blow in the mouth. Fined 20s. and costs, or fourteen days hard labour. . WILLIAM LULLY, sawyer, for endeavouring to rescue Mountsteven from the custody of the policemen, and was fined 5s. and expenses; SAMUEL GROSE, labourer, was fined 5s. and costs, or a week's imprisonment, for the same offence. . The fines and expenses in each case were paid. The magistrates cautioned the whole of these parties, and told them that if they were again brought up for assaulting the police, they would be severely dealt with. . FALMOUTH POLICE - At the Town Hall on Friday last, before Mr. CARNE, Mayor, Mr. ELLIS, and Mr. R.R. BROAD, magistrates, three young men, RICHARD HOSKIN, WILLIAM FLETCHER, and THOMAS THOMAS, were summoned by MISS E. DOWNING, shopkeeper, who stated that on Sunday morning last about three o'clock, she was awakened by a noise, and saw that some of her shutters were taken down and carried away. ALFRED ROBERTS, who was one of the party, being summoned as a witness, stated that Hosken took down the shutters and threw one into the market house. It was evidently a "lark" after leaving the Duke of Kent Inn, and for their disorderly conduct, the young men were each fined 1s. and 7s. expenses, or one month's imprisonment. The fines were paid. . PENZANCE POLICE - At the Guildhall, on Saturday last, before Mr. D.P. LeGRICE and Mr. JOSEPH CARNE, magistrates, JOHN EDWARDS, of Madron, farmer, was charged with having violently assaulted HONOR HOCKIN, of Boswarthen, in Madron, for which he was fined GBP 5, or in default two month's imprisonment. The fine was paid. . DISCOVERY OF STOLEN PROPERTY - On Thursday the 19th instant, some children of Falmouth were in the neighbourhood of the Falmouth Union House, picking blackberries, when under a hedge in a field one of them discovered a milk cup, and showed it to some men, who were working in the field. The men went to the spot, and on searching, found a large spirit stand, toast rack, coffee biggin, sugar basin, and a candlestick. They informed their master, Mr. E. BULLMORE, of it, who immediately went with them to MR. JULYAN, superintendent of police at Falmouth, and the latter pronounced the articles to be the property of MRS. RYAN, whose house was robbed in May last, by the two BASSETTS. Some of the articles were scratched at the bottom to ascertain whether or not they were silver; and the thieves, finding they were not, hid them as not being worth carrying off. . About the same hour, some men who were pulling down a wall at the Friends' Burial Ground, near Budock church, discovered two bundles containing a quantity of plated articles, viz: two salvers, a large bread tray, a pair of carver rests, a large egg stand, with six egg cups, a pair of candlesticks, and an extinguisher. They brought the articles to Mr. SAMUEL TRESIDDER, their master, who immediately reported it to Mr. JULYAN, who found them to be the property of LIEUT. HILL, R.N., which had been stolen from that gentleman's residence, it is supposed by the same parties, and about the same time as the robbery of Mrs. Ryan's property took place. . FELONY BY A TRAMP - A fellow who gave his name as DAVID ROBERTS, and has been a sailor, a week or ten days since was seen lurking about houses in the neighbourhood of Redruth in a very suspicious manner. He was observed on Sunday week prowling about MR. TROUNCE's house at Bridge, with his shoes off. Late on Sunday night he returned to Redruth again, and brought a gun with him, which there was reason to believe he had stolen. After great resistance, he was apprehended by constable RODDA, and the gun turning out to belong to DAVID DAVIS, of Portreath, cabinet-maker, and being fully identified, he was committed to take his trial at the sessions. . HIGHWAY ROBBERY - On the 11th instant, as ROBERT ROBERTS, an old retired farmer, who resides at Cams-house, in the parish of Southhill, about a mile and a half from Callington, was returning to his home, SARAH DAWE, daughter of ANN DAWE, who keeps a beer-house in that town, followed him down Hay road, and took out his purse, containing one sovereign and three shillings. It appears that this old man, who is the father and grandfather of eighty children, had been drinking at Dawe's house, and that the money in question had been seen by Dawe and others. She was committed for trial. . FIRE - About eleven o'clock on Friday night, the inhabitants of Tolcarne, in the neighbourhood of Penzance, were alarmed by a cry of fire, which proceeded from the higher mill of MR. JOHN COULSON; but fortunately, through timely assistance of the neighbours, and a good supply of water, the damage occasioned was not of great amount. SHEEP STEALING - A man named JAMES PIPER,living at Saltash, was on Monday week committed to Bodmin gaol by Mr. TUCKER, Trematon Castle, on the charge of sheep stealing. A great many sheep have been stolen in the parish of St. Stephens lately, and in consequence a watch was kept by the farmers in the neighbourhood, which ended in the capture of Piper, on Saturday night, with a sheep in a bag (still warm) which he had stolen from MR. THOMAS BATTEN's field. Piper is a navvy working on the Cornwall railway, and has a wife and five children living at Saltash. From a subsequent account, it appears that Piper knocked down the contractor as he was conveying him to Bodmin. He struck him with the handcuffs, rendering him senseless, then took the key of the handcuffs from the contractor's pocket, unfastened them, and made his escape. . CORONER'S INQUEST - the following inquest has been held before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, County coroner: On Monday last, at North Country, Redruth, on the daughter of GEORGIANA GRAY, a little girl of about two months, whom the mother stated she found dead in her arms when she awoke on Saturday morning. The mother was a married woman, but her husband had been abroad for some years, and there were some suspicious circumstances connected with the case, which rendered it necessary to have a post mortem examination, when it was proved that the child died from inflammation of the lungs, and the jury returned a verdict to that effect, being satisfied that there was no ground for the reports which had been in circulation. . LETTERS TO THE EDITOR . THE LATE ROBBERY AT PENWARNE To the Editor of the West Briton Sir, - Observing a paragraph in the West Briton of the 5th instant respecting this robbery, and the names of the different constables therein said to be engaged in detecting the parties, I beg to say that the statement was incorrect, as will appear from the following facts, especially that part of it which states "that Inspector ARMITAGE of the West Cornwall Railway was the first on the spot, and with the others made the necessary arrangements, and all deserve great credit for their exertions." . The men CHADWICK and JENKYN, of Redruth, had been seen carrying a gun and a bundle and searching about in a stony croft in the neighbourhood of Stithians. The persons who first observed them thus engaged were two men named SPARGO and OPIE, and who it seems knew one of them. The men communicated with MR. JARRATT, the policeman at Penryn, who instructed them to keep a sharp look out, and to inform him of what they might notice, and they acted up to these instructions. JARATT was in communication with Mr. PETERS on the subject after the robbery, and when the property was discovered. . Late on the Tuesday evening following, Chadwick and Jenkyn were again in the neighbourhood, and very early the next morning, Opie went and informed Jarratt that he had seen the men searching about the croft, when he desired him to go back and search about the spot where Chadwick and Jenkyn had been, which he did in company with others, and seeing a large stone with the earth around it looking fresh, they were induced to remove the stone and found that beneath it was a pit in which were two bags containing plate, nearly the whole of which had been stolen. On making this discovery, one of the men went to Jarratt, the policeman at Penryn, but before he arrived there, the plate was taken to Penwarne by a constable of Stithians, named HOLMAN, who had required them to give up possession of the plate to him. . Jarratt then followed them to Penwarne, where he sorted out all the articles found, and replaced them into the bag in the presence of MR. and MRS. PETERS, and afterwards obtained a warrant for the apprehension of Chadwick and Jenkyn from MR. GENN, of Falmouth, but it being so late, he could not get a magistrate to sign it that evening. . The following morning, Jarratt's attendance was required before the Penryn magistrates on important business, and he then gave the warrant to Constable THOMAS, of Ponsanooth, to execute, which he succeeded in doing, and the parties were brought before the county magistrates at Penryn and finally committed. . It will appear, from the foregoing facts, that Inspector ARMITAGE had not the least idea where the plate was concealed, because he had not been in the neighbourhood from the time the robbery was committed until the Saturday when the prisoners were remanded at Penryn. How then could he be first on the spot to give instructions, and what did he do to unravel the mystery? But the fact is, he apprehended two innocent men, and left them in the hands of two constables, MERRIFIELD and EDWARDS, to do the best they could with them, and they were kept handcuffed for twelve hours. . Had it not been that Mr. Jarratt had instructed OLIVE and SPARGO to keep a sharp lookout, the matter would in all probability up to this time have remained a mystery. . I hope you will find a corner for this, in justice to the parties concerned. X.Y. Penryn, 16th September, 1856 [Transcriber's note - "Opie" and "Olive" were both given as one of the 2 men alerting Jarratt]

WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER Friday, 19 September, 1856 . REDRUTH UNION . THE Guardians of this Union are desirous of contracting for the carriage of BREAD from the Union House to the several parishes of the Union, for the use of the out-door Poor; and also for the conveyance of all deceased Paupers from the Union house to their respective parishes. Tenders to be delivered at the Union Office, on or before Twelve o'clock at Noon, on Friday the 26th instant. . Further particulars may be known on application to the Master at the Union House or at the office of JOHN L. PETER, Clerk . Redruth Union Office, 5th September, 1856 . REDRUTH UNION . CONVEYANCE OF LUNATICS The Guardians of this Union are desirous of contracting for the CONVEYANCE of LUNATICS to, and DISCHARGED PATIENTS from, the Lunatic Asylum at Bodmin, including all expenses incident thereto. . The Contractor will be required in every case to act promptly on the orders of the Guardians, or their Officers, or, in their absence, of any Parish Officer; and . LOCAL INTELLIGENCE . WESLEYAN SUNDAY SCHOOL - On Sunday last, the anniversary sermons of this school at St. Austell, were preached in the chapel by the Rev. Mr. BROWN, of Mevagissey, when a collection was made towards the funds of the school. . The CUSTOMS - Mr John G. R. Anderson, principal coast officer at Arklow, Port of Dublin, has been appointed to the same office at Looe. NEW PATENT - In the weekly list of new patents we observe the name of Mr. R. W. VIVIAN, of Camborne, for an apparatus for economising the consumption of fuel. . ST. COLUMB CEMETERY - the first interment in this cemetery was that of a child named JOHN TIPPETT, and took place on Thursday the 11th instant. It is somewhat remarkable that since the 1st of August last, the time when the old church-yard of this parish was closed by order of the Secretary of State, and for more than a week previous to that time, this has been the only death in the parish, which has a population of three thousand; and we are informed that in the adjoining parish of Mawgan, out of a population of seven hundred and thirty-two, not a single death has occurred during the last five months. . PILCHARD FISHERY - At Mevagissey nothing has been done since last report by the seans. The drift boats had good catches during the latter part of last week, but few this week. It is supposed the fish had drawn off the shore. All parties are now very busy getting the fish ready for shipment. There is no prospect of fish at present at Porth, the drift boats are taking from one to three hundred per boat, the seans will stop to day. . SCHOONER LAUNCHED - On Wednesday last, there was launched from the building yard of Mr. John TREDWEN, jun., Padstow, a handsomely modelled schooner, of about 200 tons, named "Edith," JOHN CORY, master. . THE COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL - We are requested to insert the following, as being a more correct account of this unfortunate collision than has hitherto appeared: . The deposition of EDWARD HARVEY, of New Orleans, second mate of the ship "Ocean Home" of Brunswick, State of Maine, of the burthen of about 700 tons, three years old, coming from Rotterdam, laden with a general cargo, and bound to New York, under the command of Capt. ALFRED H. MERRYMAN, with seventy-seven passengers, men, women, and children, including Mr. MACKIE, of Cunard's line, a cabin passenger. The crew consisted of seventeen, including the captain, in all ninety-four persons on board. . "We sailed from Helvoetsluya on Monday, the 1st instant, and continued our voyage without any remarkable occurrences until the morning of the 5th instant, at three o'clock, when the Lizard bore N.N.W., distant fifteen miles, the wind a strong breeze, course W. by N., wind to the eastward of south. It was my watch below I was awoke by a loud crash, and, on hastening to the deck, found ourselves in collision with a ship much larger than ours. Our captain asked the captain of the other ship if he would heave too, and on our saying that we were sinking, the other promised to do so, and after reaching about a mile he did heave too. . As soon as the two ships had fallen clear of each other we began to get our boats out. The first boat that got clear was one of the quarter boats, with five or six persons on board; what became of them I do not know. I got into a larger boat, as did RODNEY E. SNOW, and JAMES MONAHAN, both seamen in my watch, and an emigrant who could not speak English, whose name I do not know. A heavy sea struck the ship and entangled the boat in the wreck, and before we could possibly get up alongside again, the ship sunk with all hands on board. . There was another boat, smaller than ours, on the house forward, but I do not think she could be got out in time. We had only one oar in our boat, and that was broken, so that we drifted to leeward; the boat having been stoved in getting her out, and so leaky that we had enough to do to prevent her sinking under us. The last that we saw of the other ship was that she was hove to close to the spot where we judged the wreck to be, about four or five miles to windward of us. . When I first got on deck I found our foremast gone, our port side cut down, and the ship settling down forward; I do not know what damage was done to the other ship, as the night was dark. I am of opinion that the other was an American ship. At about ten o'clock we saw a schooner to leeward of our boat, and in answer to our signal she reached towards us, and took us on board. She proved to be the "Martha," of and from Shoreham for Chester, Captain JONES. They treated us very kindly, ran in under the eastern land, and, with the assistance of some fishermen, we were landed at Mullion about half past twelve o'clock, where we were received and cared for by Mr. WILLIAM NICHOLAS, who brought me to Penzance, leaving the other three at Mullion." . The above is signed by the deponent, Edward Harvey, and was sworn before Mr. RICHARD PEARCE, of Penzance, receiver of droits. . A WANDERING MINSTREL - We have received several communications from this and the adjoining county, on the subject of a wandering minstrel having visited the west of England, and in nearly every case forgotten to settle his bills. It appears that in many instances he has employed printers and music-sellers to make the necessary arrangements for him, and has then left his engagements unfulfilled. . THE PROPOSED RACES AT CALLINGTON - The sporting gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood of Callington some time since obtained leave of MR. CORYTON, of Pentillie Castle, to hold races at Viverdon common, of which he is the high lord. A committee was appointed, the bill of racing printed, and circulars issued to different gentlemen. . The clergy of the neighbourhood, however, held a meeting, in consequence of which the Rev. GLANVILLE CORYTON waited on his brother to get him to withdraw his consent, and the following letter is the result, addressed to Mr. SPRY, Callington: . "Pentillie Castle August 22nd, 1856 Sir - Mr. SNELL applied to me a few days since to allow some races to take place on Viverdon, to which I gave my consent. Since which I have been waited upon by the clergymen of the parish, stating that on former occasions it had led to drunkenness and every other immorality. I have made enquiries and find such to be the case; consequently I feel myself bound to withdraw my permission, and shall feel obliged by your making it publicly known in Callington. I take the liberty of addressing you as your name was mentioned to me as having made the application. I am, your obedient servant, A. CORYTON." . SMUGGLING - On Monday last, at the Guildhall, Falmouth, before Mr. R. R. BROAD and MR. ELLIS, magistrates, WILLIAM PERRY, cook and steward of the "Mary Hill," was charged with smuggling four pounds of tobacco. He pleaded guilty, and the quantity being small he was fined GBP 1.17s, with 10s costs. The amount was paid. . CAUTION TO MILLERS - At the Guildhall, at Bodmin, on Friday the 12th instant, before Mr. GILBERT HAMLEY, mayor, and Messrs. J. WARD, and R. EDYVEAN, borough magistrates, WILLIAM LANDER, of the Berrycombe-mills, in that borough, was summoned to answer the charge of supplying CURNOW, a flour-seller of the town with flour adulterated with rice. The defendant pleaded not guilty. . Mrs. CURNOW was called, and proved that she had the flour of Lander, and admitted having sold it to RICHARD PASSMORE, the person who discovered something improper in the flour. Richard Passmore was called and proved that he purchased the flour at Mrs. Curnow's flour shop, that on going home he endeavoured to make some paste with it, but instead of thickening as usual it went very thin. In consequence of the general and very prevalent opinion which had got spread throughout the town that the millers were in the habit of supplying flour to the inhabitants adulterated, Passmore immediately took it to Mr. WILLIAMS, chemist, of Bodmin, who, on analysation, discovered that the flour was adulterated with a large quantity of rice; which opinion was proved by Mr. Williams, who attended before the magistrates. . Their worships, after consultation for a few minutes, considered the case clearly proved against Lander, and the Mayor, in addressing him, commented strongly on his conduct in deceiving his customers, as one of great magnitude falling heavily on the poorer classes. His worship remarked that the magistrates were of opinion that this practice had been carried on for some time, for they had ascertained that large quantities of rice had been sent and received by parties without any address being placed on it; but this being the first case brought before them against him, they had reduced the penalty to the mitigated sum of GBP 10 and costs. The Mayor remarked that should any case of this kind be brought before them again, they would inflict the utmost penalty of the law. . SHORT WEIGHT - On the same day, THOMAS THOMAS, grocer and flour-seller of Fore-street, Bodmin, was summoned to answer a complaint for having sold on Saturday, the 6th instant, a peck of flour 5lbs. short of the proper weight. The complainant, it appeared, was a customer of Thomas's, and had several times before found that his flour was from 3 lbs. to 5 lbs. short of weight, on his usual quantity of a peck. . On the night in question he went for his flour as usual, which was served him, and immediately went to the town scales, and on weighing it discovered it to be again 5 lbs. short of the weight of a peck of flour. He then returned with it to Mr Thomas's shop, and informed defendant of it, as also of his having discovered on former occasions his flour short of weight. On stating it to be his intention of bringing it to the notice of the public, Thomas made various offers of compromise, which were refused by the complainant, on the grounds of public justice, in putting a stop to such practices on the public by flour sellers. The case was clearly proved against Thomas, and he was fined GBP 3 and costs. . ST. AUSTELL POLICE - On Tuesday last, WILLIAM PHILLIPS, cooper, of St. Austell, was charged before Mr. E. COODE, jun., with beating his wife in a most shameful manner; but although the marks showed how he had treated her, she would not swear she stood in fear of him. He was therefore dismissed, with a caution that if brought up again, he would not be dealt with so leniently. . ST. COLUMBE POLICE - A fellow who gave his name as WILLIAM MAY was committed to the county gaol on Monday last, by Mr. H.P. RAWLINGS, for six weeks, as a rogue and vagabond, for violent conduct and indecent exposure in the streets on Sunday evening. The man was soon apprehended and secured by police constable COOMBS, when he found him to be a well-known begging-letter imposter. It is owing to the keen vigilance of this indefatigable officer, who is at all times "present and alert," that the inhabitants of St. Columb are so seldom annoyed by the visits of the vagrant tribes that infest the villages and towns in this neighbourhood. . FALMOUTH POLICE - On Monday last, before Mr. BROAD and Mr. ELLIS, magistrates, an adjourned case was heard, charging JANE TOMS, of the Duke of York Inn, with keeping a disorderly house. Mr. MOORMAN appeared for Mrs.Toms. Mr. T. BENNETTS, who was one of the complainants, stated that the house was a great nuisance and disturbance to the whole neighbourhood, in consequence of drunken and disorderly persons being therein at late hours, on the 8th and the morning of the 9th instant. There were also examined CADDY and ROBERTS, policemen, Messrs. JANE, PAINE, DREW, and BURNETT, who all corroborated the complainant, and although Mr. Moorman cross-examined the witnesses, and called two persons to make out his client a worthy and quietly disposed person keeping a creditable house, he failed to convince the magistrates, who therefore inflicted a fine of 20s., with costs 16s., which was paid. . INCENDIARY FIRE - On Thursday morning the 18th instant, about seven o'clock, a rick of hay, near Castle hill, Truro, was discovered to be on fire, and a boy named STUART, about eleven years of age, of Castle-street, Truro, was seen running away from the spot. He was apprehended by the police, and brought before the magistrates, when in consequence of the non-appearance of the owner of the hay, the case was remanded. The boy, however, acknowledged having set the hay on fire, for mere mischief sake, by means of a box of lucifers. The hay was the property of Mr. GREGSON, contractor, and was almost totally consumed. The value was about GBP 12. . CHEATING THE RAILWAY COMPANY - On Monday, before the Mayor of Penzance (Mr. W. BORLASE,) a miner of St. Agnes, named RODDA, was charged with riding in one of the West Cornwall Railway carriages without a ticket. On the arrival of that afternoon's train at Marazion, Rodda was found to have no ticket. He said he had only then entered the carriage, but it was found that he had got in at Scorrier. He was brought on to Penzance, surcharged in double the fare, and having no money was given into custody. In defence he now alleged that he was intoxicated at the time. Fined 7s.6d. and the costs; in default of payment to be imprisoned one week, but allowed a week to procure the money. CONCEALMENT OF BIRTH - On the 9th inst., a married woman named MARY DANIEL, whose husband has been in Australia for the last year and a half, was charged before Mr. E. COODE, jun., at St. Austell, with concealing the birth of a child, of which she had been delivered about a month since, and on whom an inquest had been held before Mr. HAMBLEY, county coroner, and a verdict of "found dead" returned. A report, however, having been circulated that the child had not been fairly dealt with, and evidence having been heard before Mr. Coode, she was committed to take her trial at the next assizes, for concealment of birth. Bail for the prisoner was accepted in the sum of GBP 50. COUNTY COURT - ST. AUSTELL - The monthly sitting was held on Thursday, the 11th instant, when there were fifty-seven cases entered, and there remained four cases adjourned from the previous court, but only twenty came on for hearing. In three cases, judgment was given by consent; the others were settled out of court. . BODMIN - the monthly sitting of this court was held at the Assize-hall, on Wednesday the 16th instant. The cases were either settled out of court, or did not hold any feature of public interest. . TRURO - at this court, held on Friday last, there were forty-three cases entered, and two adjourned from the previous court. Many of the cases were settled out of court, and none were of any public interest. . In the case of GEORGE CRICHTON v. JAMES BOWDEN, for recovery of GBP 4.3s.6d, and the same plaintiff v. JAMES TYRRELL, for recovery of 15s., it appeared that both defendants had been summoned only the day before the sitting of the court, plaintiff showing that defendants were both going abroad. The ordinary time of summons must be not less than ten days before the court is held, but a special provision of the act empowers this more summary process when defendants are known to be on the point of leaving the kingdom. In the above cases, an arrangement was come to on the part of Bowden; but in the case of Tyrrell, judgment was given for payment forthwith. An insolvent, ROBERT ADAMS, cabinet maker, Truro, received his final order. . FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT - A melancholy accident attended with fatal results, happened at St. Just in Penwith on the 9th inst. A boat called the "Dove," belonging to Priest's Cove, had been out all night, the crew (four in number) having been engaged in fishing. Whilst beating home with a stiff N.E. breeze the boat shipped a heavy sea, and the man who held the mainsail mistaking a warning given him by the steersman, or perhaps alarmed at the heavy waves, instead of letting go, grasped a firmer hold, and the boat went down bow foremost and has not been seen since. Two of the crew were picked up and put on board a sloop, but the other two - JOHN RICHARDS and GEORGE JENKYN - went down with the boat, and were never seen afterwards. The latter has left two children. . CORONER'S INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner - On Tuesday at Gwennap, on the body of HENRY ROWE, aged 32 years, who died on Monday morning from injuries he received on the 6th instant, by falling downstairs as he was going to bed. Verdict, "accidental death." . On the same day, at Newlyn, on the body of JAMES JONES, aged 53 years, who was killed on Monday in East Wheal Rose mine, by falling down from the 17-fathom level, to the 40 fathom level, in MITCHELLS engine shaft. The deceased was one of the pitmen, and was working by himself at the time on a stage-plank, making a set of stay wedges so that the cause of his falling could not be accounted for, but he fell with such force on the sollar doors on the 20-fathoms and 30-fathoms levels that he carried away the first with him and broke the boards (composed of 2 1/2-inch plank) of the second, and then fell down on the sollar at the 40-fathoms level, where he was found quite dead by the parties who went to his assistance. Verdict, "accidental death." . The following inquests have been held before Mr. HICHENS, county coroner; On the 12th instant, in the parish of Gunwalloe on the body of JOHN BROWN, aged 77 years, who died suddenly. Verdict, "natural death." . On the following day, in the parish of Illogan, on the body of ANNA MERRETT, aged 34 years, who died after having a fit. Verdict, "natural death." . On Wednesday last, in the parish of St. Just in Penwith, on the body of RICHARD BADCOCK, aged 18 years. The deceased was a labourer at Wheal Owles mine, in that parish, and whilst in attendance upon a carpenter of the name of HARVEY, who was employed in erecting a stamp, by some means lost his balance and reeling fell into the pit in which the fly wheel worked, and was so crushed thereby as to cause his death shortly after. Verdict, "accidental death." . An inquest was held on Thursday at the Edgcumbe Arms, Cremill, before Mr. JAGOE, coroner, on the body of Mr. THOMPSON, who, whilst riding on the previous day near the toll gate at Cremill, fell from his horse, and soon after expired. From the evidence adduced, it appears that the deceased gentleman was subject to faintness. Verdict, "accidental death." . ROYAL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY MEETING [partial report] [Judges in the school] department have been much disappointed to see - nothwithstanding their strong advice last year - that many of the best drawings exhibited bear evidence of a master's assistance. They are very sorry to be obliged to decline judging these works, from ignorance of what the pupil has actually done. From the good style of drawing taught them, and their faithful study of nature, the judges hope next year to be able to give many prizes to these competitors, who will then be able to produce works of which they, or their masters, can state that every stroke is their own. . The committee have been obliged, this year, to award several of their prizes to drawings which are merely copies, much as they wish to encourage pupils to draw from nature. Drawings on the coloured tablets have in no case received a prize; such false taste and want of truth in colouring should be in every way discouraged. . The four portraits that have gained the premiums deserve special commendation. The judges have been tied down to give only three prizes in each class of drawing, which has prevented their giving the many small premiums to encourage school children in their early attempts, which they would gladly have done. The judges in the school department would find their work much easier if they might be released from the rule to give only higher prizes to the same competitor than the year before. There are such a number of school children sending drawings, who deserve a little encouragement, but it is hard to pass them by. . The SECRETARY also read the list of prizes in Naval Architecture. (We shall publish the list of prizes in each department next week.) . Mr. HEARDER, of Plymouth, then gave a description of his electrical coil machine, with experiments. Mr. HUNT explained Bessemer's new process for the purification of iron; and the Rev. J. PUNNETT made a communication, showing that a near approach to the discovery of the new process was made at the Hayle Foundry two or three years ago. Mr. Hunt explained the new galvanographic process of Mr. Paul PRETSCH, of Vienna, illustrated with pictures obtained by that process. He also described the process of manufacturing the metal aluminium from clay, showing specimens of that metal. These, and other proceedings, we shall again refer to next wee. In the evening Mr. Hunt delivered a lecture "On the advance and advantages of scientific knowledge."

Hello, I have found a marriage on line which suggests that my ancestor's sister Mary TREGONNING may have married a Thomas VIVIAN at St Austell in 1803. Thomas and Mary appear to have had the following children: 1806 Elizabeth 1808 Thomas 1809 William 1811 James 1814 Mary Ann 1817 Grace 1817 Jane 1819 Michael 1822 Hannah 1824 Caroline Thomas VIVIAN died in 1824 and the 1841 census has Mary living with her children Grace, Michael, Hannah and Caroline at Mt Charles. The 1851 census has Mary living with her married daughter Anne (Hannah) who is married to John CALF. Mary VIVIAN is recorded as being a visitor. She was a widow aged 69 whose occupation was given as pauper of tin miner and her place of birth was given as Gwennap. This ties in with a Mary TREGONNING who was baptised at Gwennap on 18 August 1782 whose parents were John TREGONNING and Grace (WASLEY). Is there anyone who is researching this VIVIAN family or who can add any additional information to the above. Regards, Christine

DEVORAN, POINT, and PERRAN WHARF REGATTA . There has been no regatta at Devoran for the last ten years, although the branch of the river Fal, which extends to that part, offers good facilities for such an amusement, and the beautiful scenery of Carclew is viewed to advantage from the river, and the Devoran side of it. This year the regatta at Devoran has been resuscitated, through the exertions of some of the inhabitants, and an appeal for subscriptions having been liberally responded to, the whole amount collected was about GBP 40. . The regatta came off on Monday last, when the morning was very fine, but about ten o'clock heavy clouds darkened the atmosphere, and the rain poured down with but slight intermission until four in the afternoon. The time appointed for commencing the regatta was three o'clock, but the rain was so heavy and incessant that the committee had almost determined to postpone it, although that would have been a great inconvenience, as a considerable number of sailing and rowing boats had assembled to contend for the prizes, and a great many spectators were present, having left their homes before the rain came. Shortly after four o'clock the weather brightened, and the committee resolved to start the boats; a good breeze had sprung up, and after this time there was very little rain for the evening. . The river looked gay with a crowd of sailing and rowing boats; the "Sydney" steamer and vessels of the port had a great many people on board; and the Devoran side of the river was lined with spectators, some being also on the Carclew side. Cannon were fired at the starting and arrival of the boats, and Emidy's band greeted the victors with lively music. The Umpires of the matches were Captain W. HODGE, of Devoran, Mr. HENRY WILLIAMS, of Alma Cottage, Truro, and Mr. JOHN HERNAMAN, of Truro. . The first match was between sailing punts not exceeding fourteen feet. A considerable fleet of these started, no less than eleven sailing boats, which were as follows: "Albert", T. PETERS, Gerrans; "Durgan", C. TRELOAR, Devoran; "Eliza", N. HAYES, Devoran; "Ann", P. DUNSTAN, Point; "Swallow", W. OLIVE, Point; "James", R. WEBBER, Point; "Tom Scott", R. MICHELL and Son, Point; "Fourteen Brothers", J. WEBBER, Point; "Brothers", J. MAY, Point; "Kate," R. CHELLEW, Point; "Sisters" T. GRAY, Restronguet. . There was so little wind when these boats started that they were obliged to use their rudders, to scull, but soon the breeze freshened, and then the little fleet, with their distinguishing colours, tacking and manoeuvreing, presented a very pretty appearance; but in coming up to the moorings at Devoran the wind again failed, and the tide had set against them. The "Ann," which sailed remarkably well, passed the Devoran mooring at twelve minutes past six, considerably ahead of any of the other boats, and returned to the winning mark long before either of her competitors. The "Ann" is an old favourite, and well-known as a winner of former races in Truro river. The second boat was the "Tom Scott", and the third the "Durgan."  The "Durgan" forfeited the prize, in consequence of the steersman having attempted to propel her with an oar, the rudder having broken. The committee, however, considered that as the crew persevered in going round the course, they deserved something; and th! ey awarded them 7s.7d. as compensation. The wind had so much failed that the other boats, with the tide against them, could not make way and reach the winning mark. . The next match was between pleasure yachts not exceeding fifteen feet. Four started ? the "Cora", R. F. MICHELL, Truro; the "Primrose," JAMES BLEE, Falmouth; the "Active," W. WADE, Truro; and the "Gower" ROBERT STEPHENS Devoran. The course was from the moorings near the "Gap," (about half way between Devoran and Point) round a boat in Penpoll creek, thence round a boat opposite Tregunna wood, thence round a boat off Loe beach, back to and round the starting boat near the Gap; twice over the course. . There was an excellent start and the wind, N.W., had freshened to a good breeze. Unfortunately, after the boats had passed Marble Head, the wind failed, and it then became a mere drifting match to the winning mark. The committee very properly decided on sending the yachts only once round the course. At Mr. PHILLPOTTS's mark boat, off Loe beach, an occurrence took place which afterwards occasioned a dispute as to the prizes. The printed direction was, that all marks for sailing boats must be left on the starboard, and this direction was repeated by one of the committee before the boats sailed; but subsequently, another of the committee, who had authority to do so, called out to the yachts that they might round any of the marks as they pleased, except the winning mark. . [Two boats rounded Mr. Phillpotts's mark boat by leaving it on the starboard, but the third boat left the same mark boat on the larboard, and thereby gained an advantage. The wind failed at the same time, and the boat then used her large rudder as a scull, by which they came in second. The boat which came in third claimed the second prize, as the other boat went to the wrong side of the mark boat. That boat, of course, said they had instructions they could go on either side. The committee and umpires took a great deal of trouble to arrive at a right conclusion in the matter. All the crews were interviewed, and the crews of 3 boats stated that they heard no instructions allowing them to go on either side of the mark boats; they all understood they were to leave them on the starboard. The umpires considered they must adhere to the printed regulations, whereupon they awarded the second prize to the challenging crew. However, the committee awarded 10s to the crew of the boat whi! ch had crossed the finish line in second place by following the verbal instructions. The fourth boat, much smaller than the others, could not display as large a spread of canvas, and so lost the race.] . The length of the course for the rowing matches was about four and one-half miles, and a better and prettier course for such matches could not be selected. From the terrace, and a great number of the houses at Devoran, the rowing matches could be seen throughout the whole of their progress. . A contest between praams was very amusing. There were two Norwegian praams and one English: the "Mercurius," Capt. WHILLE of Longsound; the "Scandinavian," Capt. WRIGHT, Longsound; and the "I Will," D. HOYLE, Restronguet. The Norwegian seamen are known to be so skilful in the management of praams that it was considered, before starting, the Englishman had very little chance, and so the result proved. They made a good start together, and pulled lustily, but whilst the Norwegians pulled in a straight line, the Englishman was not so clever, but sometimes diverged to the right or left. At one time, he gained on his opponents, but at last seeing they were again fast going ahead he gave up the contest. The "Mercurius" came in first, and the "Scandinavian" second, both being heartily cheered on their arrival. . It was in contemplation to have a "shovel match", shovels to be used instead of oars, but the evening was too far advanced for this fun, and the committee declared the regatta concluded without it. The matches were on the whole well contested, and if the weather had been favourable, they would have afforded a very pleasant as well as exciting amusement. The assemblage of people soon separated, and at an early hour Devoran had resumed its usual quietude.                         ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2012 22:10:00 -0500 From: Julia Mosman <[email protected]> Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] West Briton, 12 Sep 1856 News To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>,     "[email protected]"    <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Isn't it interesting how the use of words change?

WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER Friday, 12 September 1856 . LOCAL INTELLIGENCE . CHARITY CONCERTS, BODMIN - These vocal and instrumental concerts took place on the 5th instant, and it is with pleasure we report the admirable manner in which the performers acquitted themselves, and the zeal and disinterestedness with which they cheerfully undertook and accomplished their parts. The harp, piano, and violin pieces were admirably executed. . Miss OLIVER and Mr. SQUIRE, who gave their valuable services last year, and received most deserved applause, afforded evident proof of great advancement since that period, under the talented masters with whom they have studied. The accomplished young harpist, MISS GILL (whose parents kindly allowed her to play on behalf of the charities) excited surprise and admiration by her exquisite performance, and the committee are extremely obliged for the great trust and assistance she has afforded. Miss SQUIRE sang the songs "Alone," by Stoch, and "Wild Rose" by John Barnett, in extremely good style and voice. . The committee much regret that they are likely to lose the future assistance of Dr. BOISRAGON, who has ever been ready and anxious to render his valuable services to the Bodmin charities, at the same time aiding much in a pecuniary way. As a highly accomplished musician and gentleman, his leaving Bodmin is greatly regretted, whilst at the same time he is heartily congratulated on his new appointment. Mr. A. DAWSON  with his usual kindness, materially assisted, and was much applauded in the songs "Phillis is my only joy," by Hobbs, and in Hatton's "Good-bye, Sweetheart, Good-bye," which he rendered with his usual ability and good taste. . We are sorry to say there was a sad falling off in the attendance at the morning concert, which is specially appointed for the wealthier classes in the neighbourhood, and through their absence of course a great diminution has taken place in the receipts. In the evening, however, the spacious room at the Guildhall was nearly filled, and the audience at both concerts were highly delighted with their entertainment. . Mr. ROBARTES, M.P., has with his usual charity intimated his intention of sending a donation; Dr. MICHELL, M.P., has forwarded 21s.; the Rev. W. P. FLAMANK. 21 s. and we must not omit to mention the very liberal assistance by the purchase of tickets on the part of some dissenters in the town, who are always prominent supporters of the charities of Bodmin. . HELSTON HARVEST FAIR - This fair, held on Tuesday last, was well supplied with cattle. There were very few fat beasts, but a great number of half-fed and low-conditioned bullocks. Only a small amount of business was done, few buyers being in attendance. Prices underwent no change. . WADEBRIDGE CATTLE MARKET - The supply of bullocks and sheep offered for sale here on Tuesday last was larger than usual. The demand, however, was brisk, and most of the cattle sold at good prices. Beef fetched from 60s. to 63s. per cwt. And sheep 6d. per lb. . THE COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE IN THE CHANNEL - The American merchant ship which was in collision with the "Ocean Home," off the Lizard, on Friday morning was the "Cherubim" of 1,800 tons, bound for London. The collision, which was one of terrific violence, took place at two o'clock in the morning. The "Cherubim" was proceeding up the channel for London, the "Ocean Home" was on her way from Rotterdam to New York, with German emigrants and a general cargo. It is supposed that the absence of a proper look-out was the cause of the collision. The vessels do not appear to have seen each other until they were in contact. They were at the time in sight of the Lizard lights. . Within twenty minutes from the collision the "Ocean Home" went down bodily. The captain (MERRIMAN) and twenty-two of the passengers and crew were taken on board by the "Cherubim," and on passing Plymouth they were received by the "Perseverance", No 3, pilot boat of that port, and about three o'clock landed there. Not one of them succeeded in saving more than the clothes he had on at the time. Immediately after the collision, the second mate, the steward, and four seamen, anticipating the catastrophe which so soon followed, got into the long boat, and much to the annoyance of Captain Merriman left the vessel and landed at Mullion.. . The "Ocean Home" had in crew and passengers 105 persons on board at the time of the collision. Six went off in the long boat, and twenty-two, as was said, were landed at Plymouth, but of the seventy-seven remaining there is no intelligence, and in all probability they have drowned. At the time of the collision all passengers were in their berths, and most of them were asleep. The poor people brought into Plymouth were at once received into the Sailor's Home, and their wants attended to. They were forwarded by the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society and by the Consuls of the countries to which they belong to their various destinations. Of course the circumstance under which the collision took place will form a subject for inquiry, probably in London, whither the "Cherubim" was bound and has proceeded. . WRECK OF THE "ZEBRA" - the wreck of the "Zebra" as it is in the water, on the Lizard point, with the engines, and every thing found in connexion with the vessel not salved already, was sold in one lot, on Thursday last, for GBP 115, subject to reservation of such cargo as may still be recovered through the buyer, twenty-five per cent, being paid on the value for compensation for its recovery. . FIRE AT HELSTON - On Saturday morning a fire broke out in the dwelling house of MR. HENRY PASCOE, tailor, in the market-place, Helston. It appeared that the kitchen chimney had been on fire on the previous day, and the soot had ignited a beam which was laid close to the flue. This continued smouldering for some hours, and about four o'clock on Saturday morning flames were observed in the sitting room by a person in the street, and he immediately alarmed Mr. Pascoe, who was sleeping in an adjoining room. The fire had broken through the sitting-room floor, and although there was a good supply of water, and two engines quickly on the spot, most of the furniture, a large quantity of books, and some bales of cloth which had been deposited in the room, were consumed. Mr. Pascoe's property was uninsured, and he is a loser to a considerable extent. . TRURO POLICE - On Monday, before Mr. NANKIVVELL, MARY ANN THOMAS and CATHERINE STEVENS, of Redruth, and MARY ANN WILLIAMS, of Liskeard, three abandoned females (the two former having been a long period in the county prison on previous commitments) were charged with being disorderly in the streets, and using obscene language at half-past one in the morning. They pleaded guilty to the charge; Thomas and Stevens were committed for twenty-one days to hard labour, and Williams, it being her first offence, to fourteen days' hard labour. . JAMES TRURAN, a miner, was charged with assaulting MARY ANN SOLOMON, a married woman, in Kenwyn Street, on the 4th instant. MARY ANN SOLOMON was going up the street in the evening, when she was accosted by the prisoner with improper language. She remonstrated with him, upon which he struck her with his fist a severe blow over the eye. He now said he was very sorry for what he had done, and that he was drunk at the time. As he seemed to regret his conduct, the magistrates allowed him to settle the case. He then paid the complainant a sovereign and expenses incurred, altogether GBP 1.15s.11d., and the case was dismissed. . CAUTION TO MARINE-STORE DEALERS - At Truro, on Friday last, before the Mayor and Mr. NANKIVELL, magistrate, THOMAS JOSE, marine store dealer in Pydar Street, was charged with neglecting to make a good and sufficient entry in his book of a quantity of old brass wire sieves, as required by Act of Parliament; and with neglecting to make a proper entry of a quantity of lead he had purchased. The insufficient entries were discovered by means of Mr. NASH, police superintendent, and police-constable WOOLCOCK going to Jose's shop to make inquiries about some lead, for stealing which, at Zelah, a man called WILLIAMS was in custody. . On questioning Jose, and examining his book, Mr. Nash found he had entered SAMUEL WILLIAMS's name, but not the articles purchased, or place of residence. Jose's book for the last two years was deficient in every entry, in not mentioning the residence of the sellers, and sometimes only the christian or the surname. Jose also admitted that he never entered anything under a shilling purchase, whereas the act requires that even the smallest purchases shall be entered. It appeared further that Jose was in the habit of immediately melting into small blocks any lead he might purchase. For the deficient entries on the 7th of July and the 28th of August, he was fined GBP 5 in each case. He said he was unable to read or write and had entrusted it to his son to make the entries. . MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT WHILE BATHING - On Tuesday morning last, a most distressing sensation was produced at Portreath, caused by a report that two gentlemen had suddenly disappeared while bathing just off the beach, which unfortunately proved to be true. It appears that Mr. HERBERT STEPHENS, and Mr. METFORD THOMPSON, of Bridgwater, who were on a visit to Portreath to see the sister of Mr. stephens, (who is at lodgings at the hotel) were seen to go into the water, and remained several minutes, when suddenly some one exclaimed, "the outer man has gone down."  This caused the other gentleman to swim towards the spot, but only to share a similar fate. The bodies were recovered by the aid of the ever-ready kindness and assistance of Messrs. D. BAIN and A. RICHARDS, who had their sean shot immediately, which enclosed them. All attempts, however, at resuscitation, were unavailing, the bodies having been in the water nearly an hour, before they were recovered. It is supposed that the ! under outward current was too powerful for them, and that although good swimmers, they were irresistibly drawn under water. . SUDDEN DEATH - At Camelford fair, on Saturday last, about ten o'clock at night, CATHERINE COCK, a person who usually attended the fairs in that neighbourhood, fell down in a public house called the Masons' Arms, and expired in a few minutes. The corpse was carried to the union workhouse the same night, where a coroner's inquest was held on it the next day, and a verdict returned "died by a visitation of God."  . CORONERS' INQUESTS - the following inquests have been held before Mr. HICHENS, county coroner: on the 7th instant, in the parish of Madron, on the body of MARY BAILEY, aged seventy-five years. The deceased occupied the lodge at Castle Horneck, in that parish, and on the 6th instant, shortly before her death, was seen by one of her neighbours (JANE THOMAS) to go into her house with an apron full of sticks and leaves, which she had swept up, and to leave it in about a minute or two after for apparently the same object, having her broom in her hand. In about ten minutes after, a woman who was passing the road, found her lying therein apparently dead, and immediately went to Jane Thomas's house and told her of it, when she forthwith accompanied the woman to the spot and found the deceased lying as represented, and lifeless. Help was procured, and the deceased was immediately taken to her own house. Verdict, "natural death."  . On the same day, in the parish of Crowan, on the body of ALEXANDER PENALUNA, aged thirty-seven years. The deceased was a person of imbecile mind, and since his father's death (which happened about two years ago) being unable to gain his own livelihood, has been chargeable to the parish of Crowan, but lived with his mother as before. He had been subject to fits for many years, and on Wednesday last was taken ill and went to bed, and remained there till his death, which took place on the following day, about eight o'clock in the evening. His mother and sister were at that time eating their supper below stairs, when they heard him shriek, as he was accustomed to do when taken with a fit, but becoming quiet sooner than usual, they went up to him, and found him lying on his back, lifeless. Verdict, "Natural death."  . At Portreath, on Wednesday last, on the bodies of two gentlemen who were drowned there on Tuesday whilst bathing. The particulars are given in another paragraph. Verdict, "Accidentally drowned."  . PERRAN WHARF HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY . The fourth annual exhibition of this society was held on Tuesday last, by the kind permission of Sir Charles Lemon, in the beautiful grounds of Carclew Park, where the society erected their spacious marquee. The site is a very attractive one to visitors, and proves of great advantage to the society. The attendance on Tuesday was very numerous; the amount taken for admissions being GBP 5 more than last year's receipts. ' The show, altogether, was a very excellent one; larger, and better than that of last year. It included some fine collections of plants and flowers. A superior collection of ferns was exhibited from Carclew . [The following persons were then noted as producing excellent flowers:  Mr. M.H. WILLIAMS of Tredrea, Mr. M. H. WILLIAMS, Mr. ROBERTS of Truro, Mr. H. C. CARNELL, of Perran Wharf, and Mr. MICHELL of Burncoose.] . In the department of vegetables, the cottagers, for whose benefit, mainly, the society was instituted, were superior to all other exhibitors. It was supposed by some persons to be rather an unequal match for the cottagers to have to compete with the amateur growers; the remark might apply as to flowers, but in vegetables the cottagers were unmistakeably triumphant. But they also exhibited some good flowers and fruit. Some of the cottagers' dahlias were good, and as to their asters they were very superior. Their nosegays evinced taste, the ornamental designs were creditable, and many of the window plants were very fine, especially the fuchsias. . In fruit also the cottagers were large exhibitors, particularly in collections of fine apples, and some very good pears for the season. Conspicuous at one end of the vegetable show were some immense gourds from Carclew, of the egg-shaped, oblong, and another variety; also some silver beet from Carclew. [There followed a list of vegetables, with descriptions, plus mention that MR. MITCHINSON, a judge, gave 10s . to enable separate prizes for both kidney and round potatoes, as they were so excellent.] The first prize wheat weighed 63 lbs.to the bushel of eight gallons, and was exhibited by Mrs. KNUCKEY, of Perranwell. . The ducks, Aylesbury and Rouen, were of such excellent quality that they gave the judges much trouble to adjudicate the prizes. Turkeys were not represented. . We should add that evergreens and flowers for the decoration of the place were given to the society by Sir CHARLES LEMON, Bart., M.P., Mr. ENYS, and Mr. M.H. WILLIAMS. The marquee was tastefully decorated by Mr. MURTON. About two thousand persons visited the exhibition, and more than GBP 35 were taken at the entrance. . We have received a list of prizes from Mr. H. C. CARNELL, the secretary, but in consequence of a press of advertisements, we are obliged to postpone their publication till next week. We should add, however, that the proceedings of the day were enlivened by the performances of the Constantine and Stithians bands. The former band performed in the marquee with excellent effect. . The annual festivities in connection with the society took place at the Norway Inn, where an excellent dinner was provided by Mrs. TRESEDER, and a party of about thirty was presided over by the Rev. F.H.A. WRIGHT, the vicar of the parish, and president of the society; the two vice-chairs being occupied by Mr. CARNELL and Mr. V. PEARCE. . After the removal of the cloth, Mr. WRIGHT responded to a toast, then said he would like to propose "the health of a very worthy gentleman and kind neighbour, Sir Charles Lemon," who had always been so kind as to lend the society his park for the exhibition, to which it owed a great part of its attraction. The toast was received with loud cheering, and responded to by Mr. WHITFORD, as the resident agent of Sir Charles, who said he felt sure that Sir Charles Lemon would always be ready to grant the society the use of the park, provided the people conducted themselves as they had hitherto done, and he hoped they would all have the pleasure of seeing Sir Charles at their exhibitions held in the park for many years to come. (Cheers) . Mr. SOWELL, of Penryn, one of the judges, strongly recommended the Irish Kemp potatoes, and said he had raised 210 Cornish bushels from an acre at Penryn, the potatoes being of excellent quality. Mr. MITCHINSON concurred in recommending the same sort of potatoes as one of the best for cultivation.                          ------------------------------ To contact the CORNISH-GEN list administrator, send an email to [email protected] To post a message to the CORNISH-GEN mailing list, send an email to [email protected] __________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word "unsubscribe" without the quotes in the subject and the body of the email with no additional text.

He had been subject to fits for many years, and on Wednesday last was taken ill and went to bed, and remained there till his death, which took place on the following day, about eight o'clock in the evening. His mother and sister were at that time eating their supper below stairs, when they heard him shriek, as he was accustomed to do when taken with a fit, but becoming quiet sooner than usual, they went up to him, and found him lying on his back, lifeless. Verdict, "Natural death." . At Portreath, on Wednesday last, on the bodies of two gentlemen who were drowned there on Tuesday whilst bathing. The particulars are given in another paragraph. Verdict, "Accidentally drowned." . PERRAN WHARF HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY . The fourth annual exhibition of this society was held on Tuesday last, by the kind permission of Sir Charles Lemon, in the beautiful grounds of Carclew Park, where the society erected their spacious marquee. The site is a very attractive one to visitors, and proves of great advantage to the society. The attendance on Tuesday was very numerous; the amount taken for admissions being GBP 5 more than last year's receipts. ' The show, altogether, was a very excellent one; larger, and better than that of last year. It included some fine collections of plants and flowers. A superior collection of ferns was exhibited from Carclew . [The following persons were then noted as producing excellent flowers: Mr. M.H. WILLIAMS of Tredrea, Mr. M. H. WILLIAMS, Mr. ROBERTS of Truro, Mr. H. C. CARNELL, of Perran Wharf, and Mr. MICHELL of Burncoose.] . In the department of vegetables, the cottagers, for whose benefit, mainly, the society was instituted, were superior to all other exhibitors. It was supposed by some persons to be rather an unequal match for the cottagers to have to compete with the amateur growers; the remark might apply as to flowers, but in vegetables the cottagers were unmistakeably triumphant. But they also exhibited some good flowers and fruit. Some of the cottagers' dahlias were good, and as to their asters they were very superior. Their nosegays evinced taste, the ornamental designs were creditable, and many of the window plants were very fine, especially the fuchsias. . In fruit also the cottagers were large exhibitors, particularly in collections of fine apples, and some very good pears for the season. Conspicuous at one end of the vegetable show were some immense gourds from Carclew, of the egg-shaped, oblong, and another variety; also some silver beet from Carclew. [There followed a list of vegetables, with descriptions, plus mention that MR. MITCHINSON, a judge, gave 10s . to enable separate prizes for both kidney and round potatoes, as they were so excellent.] The first prize wheat weighed 63 lbs.to the bushel of eight gallons, and was exhibited by Mrs. KNUCKEY, of Perranwell. . The ducks, Aylesbury and Rouen, were of such excellent quality that they gave the judges much trouble to adjudicate the prizes. Turkeys were not represented. . We should add that evergreens and flowers for the decoration of the place were given to the society by Sir CHARLES LEMON, Bart., M.P., Mr. ENYS, and Mr. M.H. WILLIAMS. The marquee was tastefully decorated by Mr. MURTON. About two thousand persons visited the exhibition, and more than GBP 35 were taken at the entrance. . We have received a list of prizes from Mr. H. C. CARNELL, the secretary, but in consequence of a press of advertisements, we are obliged to postpone their publication till next week. We should add, however, that the proceedings of the day were enlivened by the performances of the Constantine and Stithians bands. The former band performed in the marquee with excellent effect. . The annual festivities in connection with the society took place at the Norway Inn, where an excellent dinner was provided by Mrs. TRESEDER, and a party of about thirty was presided over by the Rev. F.H.A. WRIGHT, the vicar of the parish, and president of the society; the two vice-chairs being occupied by Mr. CARNELL and Mr. V. PEARCE. . After the removal of the cloth, Mr. WRIGHT responded to a toast, then said he would like to propose "the health of a very worthy gentleman and kind neighbour, Sir Charles Lemon," who had always been so kind as to lend the society his park for the exhibition, to which it owed a great part of its attraction. The toast was received with loud cheering, and responded to by Mr. WHITFORD, as the resident agent of Sir Charles, who said he felt sure that Sir Charles Lemon would always be ready to grant the society the use of the park, provided the people conducted themselves as they had hitherto done, and he hoped they would all have the pleasure of seeing Sir Charles at their exhibitions held in the park for many years to come. (Cheers) . Mr. SOWELL, of Penryn, one of the judges, strongly recommended the Irish Kemp potatoes, and said he had raised 210 Cornish bushels from an acre at Penryn, the potatoes being of excellent quality. Mr. MITCHINSON concurred in recommending the same sort of potatoes as one of the best for cultivation.

Hi: Thanks to all who replied to my query. By the way, a lot of Cornish emigrants settled around the Oshawa area of Ontario. Regards, Carol Collins

WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER . 5 September, 1856 Addendum . DEVORAN, POINT, and PERRAN WHARF REGATTA . There has been no regatta at Devoran for the last ten years, although the branch of the river Fal, which extends to that part, offers good facilities for such an amusement, and the beautiful scenery of Carclew is viewed to advantage from the river, and the Devoran side of it. This year the regatta at Devoran has been resuscitated, through the exertions of some of the inhabitants, and an appeal for subscriptions having been liberally responded to, the whole amount collected was about GBP 40. . The regatta came off on Monday last, when the morning was very fine, but about ten o'clock heavy clouds darkened the atmosphere, and the rain poured down with but slight intermission until four in the afternoon. The time appointed for commencing the regatta was three o'clock, but the rain was so heavy and incessant that the committee had almost determined to postpone it, although that would have been a great inconvenience, as a considerable number of sailing and rowing boats had assembled to contend for the prizes, and a great many spectators were present, having left their homes before the rain came. Shortly after four o'clock the weather brightened, and the committee resolved to start the boats; a good breeze had sprung up, and after this time there was very little rain for the evening. . The river looked gay with a crowd of sailing and rowing boats; the "Sydney" steamer and vessels of the port had a great many people on board; and the Devoran side of the river was lined with spectators, some being also on the Carclew side. Cannon were fired at the starting and arrival of the boats, and Emidy's band greeted the victors with lively music. The Umpires of the matches were Captain W. HODGE, of Devoran, Mr. HENRY WILLIAMS, of Alma Cottage, Truro, and Mr. JOHN HERNAMAN, of Truro. . The first match was between sailing punts not exceeding fourteen feet. A considerable fleet of these started, no less than eleven sailing boats, which were as follows: "Albert", T. PETERS, Gerrans; "Durgan", C. TRELOAR, Devoran; "Eliza", N. HAYES, Devoran; "Ann", P. DUNSTAN, Point; "Swallow", W. OLIVE, Point; "James", R. WEBBER, Point; "Tom Scott", R. MICHELL and Son, Point; "Fourteen Brothers", J. WEBBER, Point; "Brothers", J. MAY, Point; "Kate," R. CHELLEW, Point; "Sisters" T. GRAY, Restronguet. . There was so little wind when these boats started that they were obliged to use their rudders, to scull, but soon the breeze freshened, and then the little fleet, with their distinguishing colours, tacking and manoeuvreing, presented a very pretty appearance; but in coming up to the moorings at Devoran the wind again failed, and the tide had set against them. The "Ann," which sailed remarkably well, passed the Devoran mooring at twelve minutes past six, considerably ahead of any of the other boats, and returned to the winning mark long before either of her competitors. The "Ann" is an old favourite, and well-known as a winner of former races in Truro river. The second boat was the "Tom Scott", and the third the "Durgan." The "Durgan" forfeited the prize, in consequence of the steersman having attempted to propel her with an oar, the rudder having broken. The committee, however, considered that as the crew persevered in going round the course, they deserved something; and th! ey awarded them 7s.7d. as compensation. The wind had so much failed that the other boats, with the tide against them, could not make way and reach the winning mark. . The next match was between pleasure yachts not exceeding fifteen feet. Four started – the "Cora", R. F. MICHELL, Truro; the "Primrose," JAMES BLEE, Falmouth; the "Active," W. WADE, Truro; and the "Gower" ROBERT STEPHENS Devoran. The course was from the moorings near the "Gap," (about half way between Devoran and Point) round a boat in Penpoll creek, thence round a boat opposite Tregunna wood, thence round a boat off Loe beach, back to and round the starting boat near the Gap; twice over the course. . There was an excellent start and the wind, N.W., had freshened to a good breeze. Unfortunately, after the boats had passed Marble Head, the wind failed, and it then became a mere drifting match to the winning mark. The committee very properly decided on sending the yachts only once round the course. At Mr. PHILLPOTTS's mark boat, off Loe beach, an occurrence took place which afterwards occasioned a dispute as to the prizes. The printed direction was, that all marks for sailing boats must be left on the starboard, and this direction was repeated by one of the committee before the boats sailed; but subsequently, another of the committee, who had authority to do so, called out to the yachts that they might round any of the marks as they pleased, except the winning mark. . [Two boats rounded Mr. Phillpotts's mark boat by leaving it on the starboard, but the third boat left the same mark boat on the larboard, and thereby gained an advantage. The wind failed at the same time, and the boat then used her large rudder as a scull, by which they came in second. The boat which came in third claimed the second prize, as the other boat went to the wrong side of the mark boat. That boat, of course, said they had instructions they could go on either side. The committee and umpires took a great deal of trouble to arrive at a right conclusion in the matter. All the crews were interviewed, and the crews of 3 boats stated that they heard no instructions allowing them to go on either side of the mark boats; they all understood they were to leave them on the starboard. The umpires considered they must adhere to the printed regulations, whereupon they awarded the second prize to the challenging crew. However, the committee awarded 10s to the crew of the boat whi! ch had crossed the finish line in second place by following the verbal instructions. The fourth boat, much smaller than the others, could not display as large a spread of canvas, and so lost the race.] . The length of the course for the rowing matches was about four and one-half miles, and a better and prettier course for such matches could not be selected. From the terrace, and a great number of the houses at Devoran, the rowing matches could be seen throughout the whole of their progress. . A contest between praams was very amusing. There were two Norwegian praams and one English: the "Mercurius," Capt. WHILLE of Longsound; the "Scandinavian," Capt. WRIGHT, Longsound; and the "I Will," D. HOYLE, Restronguet. The Norwegian seamen are known to be so skilful in the management of praams that it was considered, before starting, the Englishman had very little chance, and so the result proved. They made a good start together, and pulled lustily, but whilst the Norwegians pulled in a straight line, the Englishman was not so clever, but sometimes diverged to the right or left. At one time, he gained on his opponents, but at last seeing they were again fast going ahead he gave up the contest. The "Mercurius" came in first, and the "Scandinavian" second, both being heartily cheered on their arrival. . It was in contemplation to have a "shovel match", shovels to be used instead of oars, but the evening was too far advanced for this fun, and the committee declared the regatta concluded without it. The matches were on the whole well contested, and if the weather had been favourable, they would have afforded a very pleasant as well as exciting amusement. The assemblage of people soon separated, and at an early hour Devoran had resumed its usual quietude.

We think Edwin RULE was born Aug.25 1827. He arrived in South Australia via the "Lady Bruce" in 1846. His step-brother, Thomas Francis RULE went to Shullsburg, Wisconsin, USA and an Edwin RULE was born there June 27 1848 and apparently a grandson, son of a Carrie, Edwin WEBB born April 7 1912. Anyone out there related to this RULE family or with knowledge of them before or after this information?

Thank you so much Joanne. Didn't think to look at FreeBMD as I thought their cut-off dates were earlier!! I only had info given to me by my late father and knew that Cora died in a road traffic accident during the war, due to no street lights and subdued car lights. Many thanks for taking the time. John.

SIR, A letter having been sent from Padstow, dated August 23rd, 1856, written apparently by a Ship-Owner, to the Secretary of the Sunderland Policies (respecting the damage and repairs of the brig "Ford Mill", of Sunderland,) which inculpates the character of the Master, Surveyor, and Myself, I shall feel thankful if the individual would honourably come forward, and give his name and address, that the same may be investigated. . Hoping this may meet his eye, in your widely circulated journal, . I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, ROBERT DAWSON, Owner Padstow, Sept. 2, 1856 ...... LATELY PUBLISHED HISTORY of the BOROUGH of LISKEARD, and its Vicinity, by J. ALLEN . This work consists of a crown 8vo. Volume of 364 pages, cloth, gilt lettered, with a map, and twenty sketches of objects of interest, price Eight Shillings, free by post. . "Much curious matter is interspersed through its pages, and there is a racy freshness about its provincial details." Athenaeum "We can warmly recommend this volume as one which adds to our local information. The object was a laudable one, and it has been well carried out." Plymouth Herald "An interesting section of the book is a series of brief notices of distinguished individuals and families, who have either been connected with Liskeard, or resided within reach of it." Cornwall Gazette "It is in many parts most interesting, readable everywhere; the illustrations are excellent." Liskeard Gazette W. and F. G. CASH, 5 Bishopsgate Without, London . ...... . of INTEREST... . THE MORMONS - A history has been published in German of the Mormons or Latter-day Saints, in North America, from which it appears that America contains 68,700 of that sect, of whom 38,000 are in Utah, 5,000 in New York, 4,000 in California, 5,000 in Nova Scotia and Canada, and 9,000 in South America and the islands. Europe contains 39,000 of whom 32,900 are in Great Britain and Ireland, 5,000 in Scandinavia, 1,000 in Germany and Switzerland, 500 in France, and 500 in the rest of Europe. In Asia there are said to be 1,000 in Austria [trans- I think they meant Australia], and Polynesia 2,400, in Africa 100, on travel 1,800. There are besides 8,500 Schismatics, including Strangites, Rigdonites, and Wightites. The numbers amount in the aggregate to 116,500 and it is supposed that the whole sect cannot exceed 125,000. . LOCAL INTELLIGENCE . ROYAL CORNWALL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY - It has been arranged to issue special excursion tickets to such ladies and gentlemen as may wish to join the parties on the Thursday and Friday, during the annual exhibition. Geologists, naturalists, and other scientific gentlemen will act as guides, and point out objects of interest in the different localities embraced in the scheme. Carriages will leave the Polytechnic Hall, at two o'clock on Thursday, and proceed direct to the geological investigations, which will at that time of tide be seen to considerable advantage. The guides will direct attention to the celebrated elvan course, and explain the peculiar formation of the raised beach, &c. . On the Friday, a marine excursion will be undertaken, and objects of interest investigated in natural history, including dredging for curious marine animals, &c. Should the weather hold up fine, the excursions will probably be attended with considerable advantage, and, being at a reasonable charge, will offer facilities for prosecuting, in a popular way, on a small scale, researches in natural history, geology, and science. . To ensure success to these and similar undertakings in catering for the amusement and instruction of the millions, it is necessary to enlist the social element; and one identified with the natural character - good eating and drinking. A comfortable tea will be provided at the close of the excursion by a special committee, and an advantageous locality is selected for the purpose of refreshment, with the sanction of the highly respected and liberal owner. . These first experimental excursions will have a certain charm of novelty, although they are by no means intended to divert from the usual characteristics and objects of the annual exhibition; but rather to promote the popular encouragement of natural science, which, in every respect, the peculiar natural facilities of Cornwall afford. We understand that the entries of objects of interest generally for the ensuing exhibition promise not to fall short from a fair average of many years past, and will in some respects exceed them. The remarks on the program of applied science will be interesting. . CHURCH-RATE CONTEST - On the 28th ult., a vestry was held in the parish of St. Ives when the churchwarden's accounts were examined and passed, and they presented their estimate for the ensuing year, and proposed a rate of three half-pence in the pound. MR. WILLACK proposed as an amendment that there be no rate, which was seconded, and put to the meeting, but was lost by 7 to 5. the churchwarden's proposition was then passed. Mr.Willack demanded a poll, and on Monday and Tuesday last, the poll took place, when there appeared in favour of the rate 91; against it, 65. . BODMIN - THE GILBERT MONUMENT - On Thursday the 20th ult., the foundation stone of a monument, to be erected on the Beacon to the memory of the late General Sir WALTER RALEIGH GILBERT, Bart. was laid by the Mayor, MR. E. GILBERT HAMLEY, a nephew of the deceased general. And in the evening the contractors and workmen had an excellent supper at the Town Arms Inn. . APOTHCARIES' HALL - Mr. HUGH PENGILLY OLIVEY, son of Mr. H. O. OLIVEY, of Mylor, passed his examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practice on Thursday the 20th of August. . APPOINTMENT - We understand that MR. PHILIP DARKE, formerly a pupil with MR. ROBERT JAMES, of Grampound, has been appointed house surgeon to the Salisbury Infirmary. . TREGONY FAIR - At this fair on Monday last, there was a very small attendance of farmers. For fat cattle, which were very scarce, there was a great demand, at about 60s. To 65s. per cwt. Good fat sheep were also scarce, and sold freely at about 6d. per lb. There were very few store bullocks, and those principally cows and heifers in the hands of the jobbers, and for which the sale was very dull. . PILCHARD FISHERY - MEVAGISSEY - On Monday last, three seans shot at Mevagissey, and took about thirty hogsheads between them. On Tuesday six seans shot, and landed about 120 hogsheads. Some of the drift boats had large [catches?]. . AN EXTRAORDINARY HARVEST MAN - MR. JOHN BASSETT, farmer, Polmenua, in the parish of St. Enoder, who has lived to see ninety-one summers, has this year stood in his harvest field as usual, and with a small reaping hook has cut down no less that 190 sheaves of wheat, in the short space of seven hours, and has continued at the same rate throughout the harvest. When in the prime of his life, he has been known to cut and bind 200 faggots of furze in one day; also to walk ten miles a day, and cut and bind one thousand faggots a week. He can still see to read small print without the aid of a glass; his strength and vigour seem to be unabated, and every faculty perfect. The united ages of him and his wife are 176 years. . A SHARK - A party of amateur fishermen from Liskeard, while pursuing their amusement near Looe Island, a few days since, hooked a shark, about six feet long, and succeeded in getting it close alongside the boat, near the shore; but in attempting to secure it with stronger weapons than hook and line, it made its escape. . SMUGGLING - CAPT. DEWAR, of the brig "Hope", was charged before the magistrates of Falmouth, upon the information of the Collector of H. M. Customs, with smuggling 16 ½ lbs. of cigars. He was fined GBP 100, which was paid. Application will be made to H.M. Customs for a mitigation of the penalty. . IMPOSTER - the REV. S. W. YATES, vicar of St. Mary's, Reading, has written to a clergyman of this county, stating that a great impostor, named WILLIAM JACKSON, has been imposing upon the clergy and other parties at Torquay; and he desires to put the clergy of this county upon their guard against his impositions. . TRURO POLICE - On Monday last, before the Mayor and MR. NANKIVELL, JAMES BOOTH, pipe-maker of Plymouth, and MARY ANN BAILEY, with whom he cohabited at a house in Pydar-street, were charged with being drunk and cruelly ill-treating some children of Booth's by another woman who is now dead; Booth's wife, however, being alive and living in Plymouth. The five children are from six to ten years of age. The neighbours had often been disturbed by their cries when they were beaten by Booth or Bailey. On Saturday last, this ill-treatment was renewed, and some of the neighbours gave information of it at the police station. MR. NASH, and police constable WOOLCOCK went to the house, and found the man and woman drunk. The children were examined by DR. BULLMORE, who found marks of ill-usage on their persons. The offence was proved against the woman, and she was sentenced to one month's hard labour under the Aggravated Assaults Act. The man was fined 5s. and costs for drunkenness, and both! were reprimanded by the magistrates. . On Wednesday last, JOHN MAC ENTEGER, of the Nelson Arms, Kenwyn-street, was summoned for having in his house on the 21st of August, at twenty minutes before eleven at night, six or seven prostitutes, and men of notoriously bad character, all in a state of intoxication. He had been previously twice convicted for allowing bad characters to assemble and get drunk in his house. He was now fined GBP 20 and in default of payment, committed to the house of correction for six months, and disqualified from selling beer for the next two years. . HOUSEBREAKING - On Friday afternoon last, a house occupied by MR. THOMAS BALL, near Zelah, St. Allen parish, was broken into, and several articles stolen, including a gold and silver brooch, two gold cravat pins, a half sovereign and a shilling. Mr. Ball's daughter had left the house about half-past two, and was absent about half an hour. When she returned, she found that some person had entered during her absence by the front window, and had gone out at the back window; and on examination, she found that the articles abovementioned had been stolen. The thief had most probably escaped just as she entered. . A little girl saw a man come from the back of the premises with a chisel in his hand, and go over a hedge, and a young man sitting on the hedge saw him go on the turnpike-road towards Truro. A description of the man was given at the Truro police station, and SAMUEL WILLIAMS, carpenter of Truro, was suspected. He was apprehended on Sunday morning last, at his house on Castle-hill, drunk; and the parties who had seen the man go over the hedge, being sent for, identified him as that person. Inquiries were made by MR. NASH, superintendent, and police constable WOOLCOCK, and it was found that the two brooches had been given by Williams' daughter to a young woman called GUMMOW, in Goodwives-lane. Samuel Williams was taken before Dr. CARLYON, county magistrate, on Monday, and committed for trial at the quarter sessions. He stated before the magistrate that he found the brooches on Kenwyn-hill. During the night after his committal, he attempted to escape from the Truro prison by rem! oving some of the stones from the wall. . THE ROBBERY OF PLATE AT PENWARNE - On Wednesday last, RICHARD JENKIN, an assayer of Redruth, and GORDON TREVANION CHADWICK, of the same place, were taken before Mr. ENYS, county magistrate, at Penryn, and committed for trial at the next assizes, for a burglary committed at Penwarne, the seat of the Rev. M.N. PETERS. Jenkin admitted that he had melted down 6 lbs. or 7lbs. weight of silver for Chadwick, and had been induced to go with him to search for some more which they could not find, in a croft in the parish of Stithians. Their movements having been watched by the neighbours living near the place, a search was made, and two bags filled with silver articles were found hid in a pile of stones, and information having been given to the constables they apprehended the prisoners. Our correspondent states that the arrangements of the constables were excellent, all acting together and giving each other every information. Those engaged were Messrs. JULYAN, of Falmouth, FITZSIMMONS! of Helston, EDWARDS and MERRIFIELD of Penryn, THOMAS of Ponsanooth, NICHOLLS, RODDA, and HODGE of Redruth, and Superintendent ARMITAGE, of the West Cornwall Railway police, who was the first on the spot, and with the others made the necessary arrangements, and all deserve great credit for their exertions. An application was made by the prosecutor, Mr. Peters of Penwarne, to admit Jenkin as an approver, but Mr. Enys said he could not do it, but an application could be made to the Judge at the assizes, and it might be allowed. Bail was taken for Jenkin, two sureties of GBP 100 each, and himself in GBP 100. About one half of the plate has been found, the remaining having been melted up. . ROBBERIES IN THE PARISH OF FALMOUTH - Last week, Mrs. RYAN and the Rev. N. HALY were sent for to Devonport, and on going there, identified a quantity of plate, which had been stopped by the police, and which was a part of the property stolen by the two BASSETTS some time ago. There is no doubt that JOHN BASSETT, who escaped from the county gaol, had been to Devonport, and employed the man now apprehended to offer the plate for sale. We understand that the latter has been committed to Bodmin for trial. . FATAL ACCIDENT - On Tuesday afternoon, the 26th ult., Lieut. McLEAN, R.N., whilst fishing at Coverack, in a small flat-bottomed boat, built by himself, and in the act of drawing up a spiller, accidentally fell into the water, and, although a powerful swimmer, was drowned. He had been for several years in the coast-guard service, but had retired on half-pay about twelve months since. It appears that about two o'clock in the afternoon, he went out with a little boy, seven years old, in the punt to fish, and about an hour afterwards some workmen in a harvest-field saw that the punt, which had been moored about half a mile off Coverack, was drifting out to sea with the boy in it, and that Lieutenant McLean was in the water. It turned out afterwards that, whilst in the act of pulling up the spiller, he fell into the water, on which the boy became alarmed, and raised a cry, but Lieut. McLean exclaimed "I'm all right," and, being an excellent swimmer, he evidently thought that he s! hould with ease reach the boat, but he was seized with some kind of fit (most probably apoplexy). The boy called for assistance, but it arrived too late. The crew of a sean boat found the corpse floating on the sea, with the head under water. Lieut. McLean was deservedly respected in the neighbourhood of Coverack, Helston, and other places. . MINE ACCIDENT - At the Great Wheal Vor United Mines, on the 23rd ult., an accident took place, whereby MR.J.F. CREASE, who for some time past has been assisting in some scientific experiments underground, very nearly lost his life. It appears that, while crossing one of the untimbered whim-shafts, the brow of ground over which he was passing gave way under his feet. As he was falling, with great presence of mind, he flung himself outwards across a beam, which providentially projected in to the shaft, from which he was promptly rescued by one of the captains of the mine, or he would have fallen more than 800 feet. We understand that he is at present doing well . ATTEMPTED SUICIDE - An attempt at suicide was made on Tuesday last, by a married woman named SAVAGE, residing at Causeway-head, Penzance. She attempted to hang herself in the back-kitchen and was actually suspended for a short time, but was quickly discovered and taken down. Domestic unhappiness is the cause assigned for the rash attempt. . CORONER'S INQUEST - On Tuesday last, an inquest was held at Crantock, by Mr E. T. CARLYON, deputy-coroner, on the body of RICHARD HAMLEY, a mason, who whilst engaged in building a house there, had been up on the scaffold with some stones, and when returning with the handbarrow down about half way on the gang board, slipped his foot and fell over and pitched upon his head and shoulders, a distance only of about four feet. Deceased, before any assistance could be rendered, rolled into a quarry about four feet below, and when taken up it was found that his skull was fractured, and before he could be got to his house he was dead. Verdict, "accidental death". . NEWS FROM DEVON . MINES INUNDATED, AND GREAT LOSS OF PROPERTY On Sunday night last, the river Tamar broke into the South and East Tamar mines, which are worked under the river between Hole's Hole and Cargreen, and for some times past, the men have reported danger from the falling in of the large lumps of the bed of the river. Up to last Saturday night the works were continued as usual, and 150 miners were at work in two miles and a half of excavation. On Sunday evening a loud report was heard as of thunder - the water had broken into the mine, and the expelling air blew up the old closed shafts, filled with excavations to the river level, and damaged the engines and workings to the value of it is said of GBP 2,000. No lives were lost, because the men do not work on Sunday. It has been ascertained that, in the bed of the river, in about eight feet of water, there is a large hole leading to the mine twenty feet long by twelve feet wide. In both mines there were many hundreds employed underground and at surface, and eight steam engines an! d other machinery were employed to work the mines. South Tamar is one of the oldest lead mines in the county, said to have been worked in Queen Elizabeth's time. It resumed work some years since when a large capital was expended in erecting powerful machinery and cleaning up the old mine, since which it has paid several dividends. .

Hi, It might depend on the Agent arranging the emigration. Sometimes firms in America/Canada or wherever sent out requests for likely workers and asked an Agent in Cornwall to arrange things. If that Agent got a cheaper deal with a particular ship's Captain, that would determine the port used. Tom Thompson, St Agnes.

Hi Listers, My grandmother, Emily Kemp, had a younger sister, Elsie born Stithians 1894. Elsie married a Leonard RULE, no details, they had 3 children: Cora, Audrey & Cyril. I have no dates so do not know in which order they came! Anyone know this family, I would love to get in touch. John.

Hi John, I don't know the family, and am not researching them, but FreeBMD shows the births of the children were registered as Elsie A. RULE, March quarter 1922, registration district of Redruth vol.5c, p.278; Eliza E. C. (presumably Cora), March quarter 1923, Redruth vol.5c p.266; and Cyril, December quarter 1927, Redruth vol.5c p.234. Elsie nee KEMP would have been 28 at the time of the birth of little Elsie in 1922, a bit older than usual at the time for a first child, so I went looking for a first marriage. FreeBMD shows the marriage of Charles L. RULE to Elsie RETALLACK in the June quarter of 1920, registration district of Redruth, Vol.5c, p.471. And, sure enough, in the December quarter of 1915, there is the marriage of Elsie KEMP to John H. RETALLACK, Redruth vol.5c, p.477. The death of John H. RETALLACK, age 30, is on FreeBMD in the June quarter of 1917, Redruth Vol.5c, p.244. St Illogan parish church burials show Charles Leonard RULE buried June 28, 1966, Cyril RULE buried January 1, 1934, and Eliza Ellen Coru RULE buried April 23, 1943, all in the same plot. The grave inscription has been transcribed as "RULE Cyril son of T.L. & S.E. RULE of Harris MILL 23/1/1934 (6), also Ellie his Mother 2/6/1963 (70) , also his father Charles Leonard 24/6/1966 (72), Cora their daughter died 20/3/1943 (20). See http://www.saint-illogan.org.uk/record_tables/parish_burials_a.htm That leaves, apparently, only one surviving child after 1943: Elsie A. FreeBMD has her marriage to Harry HICKS/ POTTER in the September quarter of 1947, Redruth Vol.7a, p.363. Her husband's name appears as Harry P. HICKS and as Harry POTTER. Elsie Audrey POTTER is buried in Illogan parish churchyard 14/12/1984 aged 62. There is a birth registration for a Harry P. HICKS in the September quarter of 1922, so it looks to me like he took the option of going by POTTER at least after his marriage. Any children they had would be well within the "still living" category, but I don't see any sign of birth registrations of children under either surname, or of a death of Harry. Thanks to J.K. Rawlings, its difficult to Google for any Harry Potter details.
