We can only say that none but a most unprincipled fellow would thus trifle with the feelings of respectable persons. It is a most disgraceful act, and we trust that after the searching investigation to which the matter will be submitted, we shall obtain sufficient evidence to deal with the author as he deserves.] DEATHS.

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. 30 January, 1852. FRANCIS BLAMEY'S BANKRUPTCY - MONTAGUE BAKER BERE, Esquire, Her Majesty's Commissioner of the Exeter Court of Bankruptcy, being the Commissioner authorised to act under a Petition for adjudication of Bankruptcy filed on the Eighth day of December, 1851, against Francis Blamey, of Crofthandy, in the parish of Gwennap in the county of Cornwall, Grocer, Draper, Dealer and Chapman, will sit on the Eleventh day of February next, at Eleven o'clock in the Forenoon precisely, at the Court of Bankruptcy for the Exeter District, in Queen Street, in the City of Exeter, for the purpose of auditing the Assignees' accounts of the Estate and Effects of the said Bankrupt; and on the Seventeenth day of February next, at Eleven o'clock in the Forenoon precisely, to make a dividend of the Estate and Effects of the said Bankrupt; on either of the above days, the Creditors who have not already proved their debts may prove the same, or they will be excluded the benefit of the said dividend; and all Claims not then proved will be disallowed. Mr. HENRY SEWELL STOKES, Truro. Mr. JOHN STOGDON, Exeter, Solicitors to the Assignees. FALMOUTH WEBBER STREET CHAPEL - VALEDICTORY SERVICES - The Rev. JOHN JACKSON, pastor of the Baptist church at Falmouth, being about to leave for India, special religious services were held on the 21st instant. The weather was very unfavourable throughout the day, still the attendance was good, and the preceding of a most interesting character. The Rev. W. MEAD of Truro, commenced the morning's meeting by reading the scriptures and prayer. Mr. UNDERHILL, one of the secretaries of the Baptist Missionary Society, then gave a lucid statement of the position Mr. Jackson is about to occupy in India, and a most graphic description of the city of Agra, in which he is about to reside. After this Mr. Jackson stated some particulars respecting his removal from his present sphere of labour for India, from which it appeared that though he does not go in the strictest sense as a missionary, yet he goes under the auspices of the missionary society, to take the oversight of the English Baptist Church in the city of Agra. Mr. Jackson then referred to the painful feelings he experienced in separating from friends with whom he had spent four of the happiest years of his life, and he bore testimony to the generosity, kindness, and efficiency of the deacons. The Rev. S. NICHOLSON, of Plymouth, next delivered an able discourse on ministerial work and responsibility in a foreign land. After a public tea in the new schoolroom, a meeting was held in the chapel, over which Mr. J. FREEMAN, of Plymouth, presided. Several interesting addresses were delivered by the gentlemen who took part in the morning services, and by the Rev. JOHN TROTTER, the sailors' missionary at Falmouth, who expressed deep regret at losing his honoured friend, and feelingly thanked Mr. Jackson for the many acts of kindness he had received from him. Towards the close of the proceedings, one of the deacons stated that it had been their intention to present a few books to the retiring pastor as a parting token of esteem and love; but as there had not been time to procure them, he presented a purse containing fifteen guineas, that Mr. Jackson might make his own selection in London. Mr. Jackson responded with much feeling, and these very interesting and deeply solemn services were terminated by a fervent prayer offered by the chairman. METEOR - On Friday last at noon, a brilliant meteor of comet-like appearance, passed over the village of Lanivet. Its course was from S.S.W to N.N.E., and its velocity that of an ordinary sheeting star. The tail, which was of considerable length and serrated, appeared to be detached from the head. As the sun was slightly obscured at the time, its transit was very distinct. THUNDER STORM - On Sunday afternoon about two o'clock, the effects of a violent thunder storm were witnessed at Sithney, near Helston. At Trevarno, the residence of Mr. POPHAM, several large ornamental trees were destroyed. The electric fluid struck some of the trees and shivered them, and one valuable oak of perhaps two centuries growth, was rooted out of the ground. In the neighbourhood, turf and furze ricks were lifted and carried to considerable distances, and other property destroyed, but the storm was unattended with injury to man or beast. CORNWALL EPIPHANY SESSIONS - We have been requested by Mr. T. H. PETER, to state that he was not in Court at these sessions, during the trial of the case ROXBERRY v. The Overseers of Linkinhorne. THE ROYAL MARINES - Among the recent promotions in this corps, we observe that of Brevet-Major HEARLE, of the Plymouth division, son of the late Mr. Hearle, of Tregony, to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the same division. SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THE REV. W. BLOOD - We have much pleasure in annexing a list of the contributors to the fund for the relief of the Rev. W. Blood, one of the surviving passengers of the 2Amazon"; - Mr. GWATKIN, GBP3; Rev. S.J. TRIST, GBP1; Mr. W.M. TWEEDY, GBP1; C., 10s.; Misses JOHNS, 7s. 6d.; Mr. PENDARVES, M.P., GBP5; Dowager lady RASHLEIGH, GBP5; Mrs. WARREN, GBP5; Rev. E. TIPPETT, 10s.; total GBP21. 7s. 6d. The public are informed the subscription book still lies on the counter at the Cornish Bank, Truro. TRURO POLICE - About twelve o'clock on Wednesday night, the 14th instant, the door of JAMES CARNE's blacksmith's shop in Pydar-street, was forced open, his forge bellows maliciously cut and destroyed, and a large hammer and smith's anvil carried away. Inquiries were made by the police, and it was found that two men, WILLIAM THOMAS, a smith in the employ of Mr. HOSKING, of Redruth, and THOMAS COURTICE, a smith of New Mills, had been seen to commit the offence. Summonses were issued against them, and on Tuesday last, they appeared to answer the complaint; when evidence was given that Thomas and Courtice had been seen taking the anvil over a stile near the smith's shop, leading into Mr. COPE's field, where there is a deep well, and into this the anvil was thrown. After hearing the evidence, the Bench fined Thomas GBP2. 10s., with GBP1. 0s. 6d. costs; and Courtice GBP2. 10s. and 17s. 9d. costs; or in default of immediate payment, they were each to be committed to the house of correction for two months. There is reason to believe that these malicious acts were done to gratify a feeling of revenge against Carne; and the Mayor took the opportunity of cautioning the parties against the repetition of such an offence, telling them the severe penalty to which they rendered themselves liable in such cases. They paid the fines and costs inflicted on them, rather than be sent to prison. Also on Monday, MARY ANN THOMAS, of Redruth, an old offender, was committed for fourteen days to the house of correction, for being drunk and disorderly in the streets at two o'clock on Sunday morning. REDRUTH - About half-past twelve o'clock on Saturday morning last, a vagrant named THOMAS HENDERSON, a native of Lancashire, quarrelled at a lodging-house at Redruth with some of the inmates, and in a struggle, outside the house, he cut JOHN SCOVERAN over the forehead and across the nose with a sharp razor. About the same time, Henderson also cut the arm of a young woman named CATHERINE BURKE, with the same razor. Mr. HARRIS, surgeon, was called, and dressed the wounds of both sufferers. Thomas Henderson was secured by policeman HODGE, and lodged in the town prison, and on Saturday he was committed to Bodmin by Mr. MAGOR, for trial at the next assizes. SETTLEMENT CASE - St. Gennys Appellant and Altarnun Respondent. - This case was adjourned from Bodmin sessions to Launceston on January 21st, to try an appeal against an order of removal of ALSWITHEY STACEY and family. The magistrates, after hearing evidence on both sides, quashed the order. Mr. PATTISON for respondent, and Mr. ROWE for appellant. THE GALES - During some days and nights of the past week, the weather has been very stormy on the coasts of this county. At Looe there have been no arrivals or sailings of vessels. At Newquay, on Monday last, there was washed on shore the stern of a boat, marked "Grace, of St. Ives, THOMAS ROWE." In Fowey harbour the shipping have weathered the recent gales without sustaining the slightest damage. At Penzance, the "Olympus," CORNWALL, master, has arrived from Callao for Falmouth, for orders. This vessel experienced very severe gales, especially during the last week, so that she has been much strained, and has had her decks swept, boat and companion skylight carried away, cabin filled, and making three feet of water per hour. The crew having been knocked up with incessant pumping, a gang of fresh hands were sent on board to relieve them, immediately on the vessel anchoring in the roads. THRASHING MACHINE ACCIDENT - A young man called WILLIAM TOM, farm servant of Mr. BAWDEN, of Bodrigan, in the parish of St. Tudy, met with a very serious accident on the 22nd instant. Whilst handing sheaves to the feeder of the machine he very incautiously put his arm over the side of the feeding board for the purpose of throwing in two sheave-binds which he held in his hand, when his hand became entangled in the machinery and his arm was drawn in nearly to the elbow, stopping the machine. Some time elapsed before the poor fellow could be relieved from his painful position, it being found necessary to unscrew the machine before he could be extricated, when it was discovered that the hand with one half of the fore arm were merely hanging by a few muscular fibres and skin, the remainder of the fore arm being so dreadfully crushed that it was found necessary to amputate the arm above the elbow, and the poor fellow is doing very well. This is the third accident of the kind (occurring through carelessness) in the same parish within the last three or four years, and rendering amputation necessary. DARING OUTRAGE - On the night of Thursday, the 22nd instant, a daring outrage was committed at the house of WILLIAM HUDDY, one of the gamekeepers at Trewithen, Probus. The window of Golden Cottage, where he lives, was twice fired into, with shot; and a reward of fifty pounds has since been offered for the detection and conviction of the offender or offenders. MUTINY AND MURDER - Captain ELIJAH CORNISH, a native of Penzance, has been murdered by Mexican seamen in the Bay of Campeachy. Captain Cornish, of the schooner "Cynthia," 250 tons, of and from Liverpool, sailed from that port on the 29th of April last, for Tampico, and left that place minus a portion of his crew, who had died, and who were substituted by Mexicans. The latter, it appears, quarrelled with the mate, the captain took the mate's part, and they were both murdered. The Mexicans were unable to navigate the vessel, and returned with her, causing the only two Englishmen on board to swear they would observe secrecy. On the arrival of the ship, the Englishmen went to the hospital and confessed the whole affair, and the sad intelligence reached Liverpool by the last mail. Captain Cornish has left a widow and four young children at Penzance totally unprovided for. MURDER - About five years ago, WILLIAM BOLITHO, son of Mr. FRANCIS BOLITHO, seaman on board the "Agenoria," of Penzance, emigrated to America, and settled at Boston with his wife and two children under the assumed name of THOMAS DAVIS. His sister, ELIZABETH BOLITHO, joined him there, and married against the brother's wish, a man called WAGNER, the engineer of a steam-tug. The parties resided in the same house, and the opposition of the brother to his sister's connexion with Wagner, was such as to lead to continual altercation, until at length in a drunken fit, he murdered his sister by cutting her throat, for which crime he has since been executed. CORONER'S INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner:- On Saturday last, at Todpool, in the parish of Kenwyn, on the body of MARK MOYLE, miner, aged 38 years. Deceased worked at West Wheal Jewel mine, in Gwennap, and was employed on Friday week as a kibble filler sending up stuff from the 85 fathoms level in the engine-shaft plat, when the chain broke, and the kibble falling down the shaft inflicted a wound on his head of which he died last Friday. The chain had been examined but a few days before and was found to be perfectly sound. Verdict, "accidental death." On Monday last, at St. Day, on the body of JOHN RICHARD ROOKE, aged three months, who was found dead in bed by the side of his mother, on Sunday morning. Deceased had been unwell for some time, and there was no doubt that he died from natural causes; but it appeared that the parents had lost two infants before under similar circumstances, and the question was whether they had not been very remiss in not sending for medical aid. The jury, however, after hearing their statements, exonerated them from wilful neglect in that respect, and returned a verdict of "death from natural causes." EXETER DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Before Mr. Commissioner Bere. Tuesday, January 20 - Re. FRANCIS BLAMEY, late of Gwennap, grocer and draper. This was a sitting for last examination, but the bankrupt not having surrendered to the fiat, and not appearing now when called on, he was outlawed in due form. Thursday, January 22. Sitting at Plymouth. - Re. HILL, miller, Landulph. In this case it may be remembered that the bankrupt, not having filed any balance-sheet, the last examination was adjourned sine die, upon which Mr. LINDON, the petitioning creditor, issued execution, and the bankrupt was lodged in gaol, where he has remained during the last seven months. Mr. J. E. ELWORTHY now applied for his discharge, upon the ground that Hill had been sufficiently punished. The Official Assignee (Mr. HERNAMAN) remarked that this was a case in which the bankrupt, who was unable either to read or write, carried on business without any books, was unable to file any satisfactory balance-sheet and had confessed to the loss of money in a way for which he could not well account. The Commissioner observed that the explanation as to the loss of the money referred to had not been satisfactory to him. Mr. Elworthy reminded his Honor that the bankrupt had called a credible witness, whose statement was to some extent corroborative of the tale which Hill had told. Mr. R. EDMONDS, on the part of the petitioning creditor, opposed the application, and contended that Mr. Elworthy had failed to show sufficient grounds to countervail the evident intention of the Act (one of the clauses of which he quoted) that in such a case the bankrupt should not escape with less than twelve months; imprisonment. The Commissioner eventually consented to the discharge of Hill from prison, after he had been imprisoned two months longer. CORONER'S INQUEST - On Monday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. BAKER and a respectable jury at the Roebuck Tavern, Hackney-road, on view of the body of Mr. W. CLEMENT, aged 72, late proprietor of the observer and Bell's Life in London newspapers, who died at his residence in the London-terrace, Hackney-road. Evidence was given showing that on Friday afternoon the deceased returned home in his usual state of health. He had his dinner, after which he went out; but previously observed that he had a pain in his head. On his return he lay down on the sofa, and went to bed about ten o'clock. Before that time he appeared restless, but was then a little better. Between twelve and one o'clock he left his bed, and stated that he had a severe pain in his chest. He took a little brandy and water, and had a mustard plaster applied to his chest in compliance with his own directions. He made no remark about a surgeon being sent for. About four o'clock he sat in an armed chair, and shortly after was seized with a fit, while suffering from which he fell on the floor of his room. A medical gentleman was instantly called in. The coroner observed that under the circumstances of the case he had directed a post mortem examination to be made. Mr. R. WALLIS, surgeon, Hackney-road, said he saw the deceased on Saturday morning between four and five o'clock. He had not attended him professionally. He was dead on his arrival. He had examined the body and observed no external marks of violence. There was great lividity in the neck and shoulders. The heart was extremely flabby, showing disease. Witness was informed that some time ago he had an attack of paralysis. Verdict - "Natural death, by the visitation of God."

Bill many thanks for your reply. It is the first time i have seen it written down on the Registers and I was looking at Parish of Tywardreath. I thought there must be something interesting behind it but didn't know what it was. I would have thought wool was quite an expensive item for those days and some families might have struggled to oblige the written law.

Judith, This came about as a result of two acts of Parliament that were passed in the late 17th century to protect and promote the English wool trade. The first in 1660 prohibited the use of any material other than wool for burial. The second in 1678 required "No corpse of any person shall be buried in any shirt, shift, sheet or shroud or anything whatsoever, made or mingled with flax, hemp, silk, hair, gold or silver, or in any stuff or thing other than what is made of sheeps wooll only" and imposed a fine of £5 for defaulters. It introduced an affidavit which had to be signed, stating that the deceased was buried in woollen. The fine could be imposed not only on the estate of the deceased but also on the family and even on the householder in whose house the person expired! Those who could afford to sometimes made provision in their will for the £5 to be paid so that they would not suffer the ignominy of being buried in wool. Each year the register had to be presented to a magistrate by the cleric. These acts were not repealed until 1814. I have this information in my OPC web site for Gerrans & St Anthony. If I copied the text from someone else then I offer them my apologies!

Part of the article on the "Amazon" disaster is missing from the filming, but if anyone is interested, there is a book on line called "Sorrow on the Sea", which gives a good account of it. West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday, 23rd January, 1852 POPULATION OF TRURO - We understand that the census returns to be presented to Parliament next session, will show that the population of the borough of Truro consists of between 10,000 and 11,000. SAINT AGNES - Hetherington's Blind Society. Alderman LAWRENCE, of London, has recently succeeded in obtaining the entrance of two persons of this district on this noble charity. This is another of the many acts of benevolence which have been conferred by the Alderman on his native place and county. MILDNESS OF THE SEASON - A correspondent states that five miles south of Helston there are at the present time carnations and primroses in full blossom, in the open air and unprotected. PENZANCE INSTITUTE - On Monday evening last, Mr. JAMES, of St. Day, who had been four years in Australia, gave a lecture on the agricultural, commercial, and mineral resources of that country. He considers the colony is likely to become a great mining country, but this can only be with the assistance of English capital. At the close a discussion took place, and a vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer. HAYLE ACADEMY - Mr. HOSKING, head master of this establishment, has received as a token of regard, a very handsome massive gold pen and pencil case, from some young gentlemen in London who were pupils in his school up to Christmas last, but left for the purpose of visiting the continent. We are also informed that some London gentlemen, who hold a great interest in Cornish mines, have intimated to Mr. Hosking their intention of awarding prizes to those of his pupils who may produce the best drawings of mine sections. ARRIVAL OF LIEUTENANT GRYLLS, R.N. - Our obituary last week contained an announcement that Lieut. CHARLES GERVEYS GRYLLS, R.N., son of the Rev. HENRY GRYLLS, vicar of St. Neot, was one of those who were lost by the destruction of the ill-fated steamer "Amazon." We have now the gratification of stating the safe arrival of Lieut. Grylls; and in our sixth page will be found an account of his narrow escape from the burning ship, and his subsequent preservation. He and others in a boat were picked up by a Dutch galliot, which engaged to put them into the nearest port for GBP60, and landed them at Plymouth on Thursday evening the 15th inst. The lieutenant, when landed, although of course greatly fatigued, was uninjured with the exception of a burn on his right arm. Early on Friday morning last, a special messenger was sent to St. Neot, from Liskeard, with a letter from the lieutenant to his father, stating that he was alive and well, and that he hoped to be with him in the evening of that day. On passing through Liskeard on his way to St. Neot, Lieut. Grylls was waited on at Webb's Hotel by the mayor and several gentlemen of Liskeard, who congratulated him on his safe arrival; and after a few minutes delay, he left in a carriage amidst the cheers of about two hundred persons who had congregated to see him. The news that Lieutenant Grylls was safe, and was coming home that day, had spread rapidly in the neighbourhood that day, had spread rapidly in the neighbourhood of St. Neot, and hundreds came pouring into the quiet little village, to hail his arrival with unmistakeable tokens of pleasure. The village bells rang; congratulation was on every tongue, and joy illuminated every face. Towards the evening, a part of about 150 set off to receive him, and to draw him up the woody valley by hand. The lieutenant however, although reluctant to refuse them, felt so anxious to be among his friends, that the horses were allowed to proceed, and twelve boys, bearing torches and laurel, preceded the carriage. At Wheal Mary mine, about a quarter of a mile from the village, they were met by hundreds, whose united cheers rent the air, and made the valleys ring. On arriving at the entrance to the vicarage, the cheering of the assemblage was immense. The Rev. Mr. Grylls, accompanied by his daughter, her husband, and others, then burst from the house, and at the same moment the Lieutenant jumped from the carriage. The bells again rang; the females shrieked; the crowd huzza'd, and tears fell fast from many an eye. The affecting scene that ensued is beyond description. The worthy Vicar had buried a son just about the time of the melancholy catastrophe of the "Amazon;" another died within the preceding twelve months, and the lieutenant was given up for lost. On seeing his son jump from the carriage, alive and safe, he staggered to the wall, and the exclamation, "My Charles!" which escaped him reached every heart. After being closeted with his friends a short time, he showed himself from a window to the people, and the deafening cheers which followed abundantly testified how every heart warmed at his return to St. Neot. THE LOSS OF THE "AMAZON." Rev. W. BLOOD - We beg to draw the attention of our readers to the appeal made in our advertising columns on behalf of the Rev. W. Blood, one of the survivors in the late appalling destruction of the "Amazon." We earnestly trust that the appeal will not be in vain. From all we have been able to learn, the case is one truly deserving of general sympathy. THE WRECK OF THE "AMAZON." On Monday afternoon, a large piece of a wreck was washed on shore at Swanpool beach, near Falmouth, and to draw it up above high water-mark occupied three horses. On examination there can be no doubt of its having been a part of the ill-fated steamer "Amazon." It consists of six planks of red pine, very much burnt; the seventh, of three inches in thickness, almost entirely destroyed, and had been subjected to a fierce fire. There were four stanchions, eight inches by six inches, and six feet in length; the fifth at the one end, if it ever existed, was gone. The wood was not painted, the stanchions morticed at each end on one side. The wreck, from being fair at the ends, would appear to have formed a dwarf bulkhead, as is fitted on board of a steamer for containing stores, &c. The flush side was very much more burnt than the opposite side. THE LOSS OF THE "AMAZON" - APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC. - The attention of the Benevolent is solicited to the following statement:- A deeply interesting excitement has prevailed throughout Plymouth since the arrival of the last party of thirteen from the ill-fated steamer "Amazon." Amongst that number is the Rev. W. BLOOD, whose sufferings and case of distress have produced considerable sympathy. It appears that owing to an accident in breaking his leg, and to impaired health, he was advised, in advanced years, to give up his living of ninety pounds per annum, near Warwick, for a year, and take this voyage for the benefit of his health. He is thus deprived of a home and is entirely destitute, being literally penniless. The writer of this appeal had the gratification of spending an evening in Mr. Blood's company, and hearing him detail the whole circumstances of the disastrous event and deeply interesting and thrilling these were. He is a true Christian man. Mr. Blood preached on Sunday to overflowing congregations, at St. Andrew's and St. Andrew's Chapel, Plymouth, when GBP53 were collected in the former, and GBP37. 10s. in the latter, which are to be forwarded to the general fund at Southampton. It is estimated that 5,000 persons attended on the occasion at St. Andrew's. As Mr. Blood's wants are most pressing, it is to be hoped that a general sympathy may be excited in his favour - any assistance that may be rendered on his behalf will be most gratefully acknowledged. A subscription Book will remain for some days on the counter of the Cornish Bank, at Truro, and any contributions however small, will be received and carefully forwarded. MUTINY - The "United," merchant vessel, arrived at Falmouth on Monday last, from the Mediterranean, fell in with the "Strife," ANGUS master, of Candia, November 20, with her crew in a mutinous state. The master requested Mr. CLARK, of the "United," to come on board, but, as night was approaching, and the sea running high, he did not deem it right to comply with the request, at which the crew of the "Strife" set up three cheers. ACCIDENT AT SEA - On Friday week, the "Harmony," from St. Michael's Mount to Swansea, being in the north channel in a heavy gale, five of the crew went aloft to furl the sails, when a young man called JAGO, of St. Michael's Mount, missed his hold and fell into the sea and was drowned. BOAT ACCIDENT - On Friday last, as the "Camilla," Dublin steamer, was coming to her moorings in Falmouth harbour, a boat with three youths, who were about to make the hawser fast to the buoy, was run down by the steamer. They had a narrow escape, but all were picked up, and only one, a youth called FRANCIS was struck by the paddle-wheel. ACTION AGAINST A COUNTY MAGISTRATE. - At the Penzance County Court, a labourer of Zennor called QUICK, sued the Rev. H. E. GRAHAM, rector of Ludgvan one of the county justices, for GBP20, damages alleged to have been incurred from false imprisonment. Quick claims some property in the neighbourhood, and in consequence of his proceedings in asserting this claim, he was some time ago committed to the county gaol for twelve months, in default of finding sureties to keep the peace. The committals for long periods in cases of breach of the peace, arising sometimes from the offender being a poor man, and consequently unable to find sureties, was at that time observed upon in the Times, and strongly censured. Some months since in again prosecuting his claim, or supposed claim, Quick destroyed some stone fences, and was sent to prison for three months, Mr. GRAHAM being chairman of the bench of justices by whom he was committed. Quick now brought this action to recover GBP20 damages for the alleged false imprisonment. Mr. CORNISH (of the firm of RODD, DARKE, and CORNISH), appeared for Mr. Graham, and read from the act of Parliament, "that no action shall be brought in any County Court against a justice of the peace for anything done by him in the execution of his office, if such justice shall object thereto; and if within six days after being served with a summons in any such action, such justice or his attorney, or agent, shall give a written notice to the plaintiff in such action that the objects to being sued in such County Court for such cause of action, all proceedings afterwards had in such County Court in any such action shall be null and void." Mr. Cornish said that under this provision Mr. Graham now claimed that the summons issued against him should be struck off the list. His Honour then told plaintiff that Mr. Graham for reasons unexplained, but which doubtless were good, had declined to have the case tried in that Court; therefore he (plaintiff) must go to the superior courts if he chose to persevere in the matter. UNLICENSED VANS - At the Torpoint Petty Sessions WILLIAM LEVERS was charged with keeping and using a stage carriage, drawn by two horses, and plying between Plymouth and Bodmin, without being duly licensed. Evidence was adduced to prove that defendant had carried passengers at separate fares, and that he had travelled over the road at a greater speed than by law allowed. THOMAS WARREN, supervisor, stated that the defendant had admitted to him that he generally exceeded the rate of four miles an hour on level road, that he did so to make up for the time lost going up the hills, as he was advertised to do the distance between Plymouth and Bodmin in nine hours, stopping one hour and twenty minutes on the road. WILLIAM and ELIJAH BUCKINGHAM were charged with a like offence. They pleaded guilty to the charge, and promised not to offend again. Mr. LAVERS conducted the prosecutions on behalf of the crown, and recited several acts of parliament to prove that any carriage (without regard to form or construction) used for the conveyance of passengers for hire, to or from any place, and travelling at the rate of four miles an hour on any part of the road, was considered a stage carriage, and required to be duly licensed, and to have proper plates, or the owner to be subject to a penalty of GBP20. He likewise pointed out the injury such parties did, not only to the revenue, but to the fair and licensed trader. The magistrates fined Levers in the mitigated penalty and expenses of GBP9. 2s. 3d., and Buckingham in the mitigated penalty and expenses of GBP7. 5s. 6d., cautioning them against continuing such illegal practices. TRURO POLICE - We stated last week, that a man named JOHN ALLEN had been committed for stealing rope, from a timber-raft belonging to Mr. BAYNARD. The name should have been THOMAS and not JOHN ALLEN. We understand there is only one John Allen employed on the river, who holds a confidential situation with Messrs. MICHELL and SON. We regret that this misnomer should have occurred. On Monday last, BENJAMIN LIDDICOAT, was summoned to answer a charge of assaulting BENJAMIN GRIFFITHS, a Welch sailor-boy belonging to the schooner "Swan." In default of appearance he was convicted and fined GBP5, or two months' imprisonment with hard labour. FIRE - On Tuesday evening last, about seven o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises occupied by Mr. JOSEPH EDWARDS, jeweller, of Truro. The fire proceeded from a flue connected with the kitchen apparatus, which came against the partition of the workshop, and ignited the woodwork. Had it not been discovered before it made further progress, the destruction of the premises would most probably have been the result. The police and about two hundred persons were speedily on the spot, and one of the town engines was sent for, but fortunately the persons present were enabled to extinguish the fire by throwing over it with buckets, &c., about a hogshead of water. SUDDEN DEATH - an inquest was held at Bodinnick by Fowey on Friday last, on the body of WILLIAM PEARSE. It appears that he had been attending to his boat lying at a short distance. Mr. BOLEY passed him on the path, and on his return found deceased lying dead on the ground. He was sixty-seven years of age, and had been a farmer in Lanteglos parish. His death took place from enlargement of the heart. Verdict, "died by the visitation of God." MYSTERIOUS DEATH - On Saturday last, considerable excitement was occasioned at Hayle, by the finding of the body of Mr. WILLIAM WEST, of that place, one of the principals of the firm of HARVEY and CO. Mr. West had been missing from home since the preceding Thursday, and his family were under great apprehensions respecting him. The body was found near one of the quays, in the channel leading to Messrs. Harvey's works; it was discovered early on Saturday morning, by a labourer who was going to his work, and having been taken to an outhouse at the Royal Standard Inn, it was recognised as Mr. West. Nothing is known of the circumstances which led to his death. His watch and some money were found in his pockets, so it would appear he had not been robbed. He had a severe blow on the head and face, but that might have been caused by the body having drifted or struck against some hard substance. An inquest was held on the body on Saturday last, by Mr. HICHENS, county coroner, when in the absence of any explanation of what led to the death, the jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned." The deceased was about sixty years of age, and was well known as an able engineer. EXETER DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY - Thursday, January 15. - In re. T. P. DIXON, Printer, &c., Falmouth. This was a meeting for the last examination. The balance sheet showed on the debit side debts owing GBP640. 1s. 7d., of which GBP31. 19s. 9d. were to be paid in full; rent of loft four years at GBP4 per annum GBP16: three years' salary as agent to the Sir Francis Drake steamer at GBP52 per annum GBP156, ditto to the time of bankruptcy GBP48: profits of the printing and stationery business for four years GBP1,269. 11d., bankrupt had no capital at the commencement of his balance sheet, but he estimated his stock and debts as sufficient to meet all demands. On the credit side were good debts GBP182. 12s. 8d.; bad ditto GBP178. 13s. 10d.; doubtful ditto, GBP242. 4s. 6d. - GBP603. 11s.: all other property GBP292. 3s. 9d.; losses on stock, &c., GBP84; trade expenses, GBP333. 13s. 9d.; household ditto, GBP816. The cause of bankruptcy was attributed to want of capital and a severe domestic affliction. The balance sheet extended from 1st of January 1848 to December 1851. The Official Assignee stated that the bankrupt's property with the whole of the debts owing to him were more than sufficient to pay his liabilities, but unfortunately a large amount of his debts were bad and doubtful, being in small sums, owing mostly by officers who had left Falmouth and had gone, some on foreign stations, and others the bankrupt knew not where. Mr. Stogdon said he was instructed not to offer any further opposition to the bankrupt. The statement made by him at his former examination was correct both as to the bill of sale and the depositing his silver salver, &c. with the bank before his bankruptcy as collateral security for his over-drawn account. By the bankrupt sueing out his own petition he had prevented one creditor sweeping off everything to the injury of the others. Mr. Stogdon observed that the bankrupt's circumstances with reference to his appearing for his certificate deserved consideration. His Honour under the circumstances said he would dispense with his attendance on the certificate day, and without he received a notice from the official assignee or any of his creditors he need not attend. The Bankrupt thanked his Honour and withdrew. The certificate day was fixed for the 19th of February. [We believe this will be the first instance in this court of the attendance of a bankrupt on his certificate day being dispensed with so far as the court is concerned.] INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, January 13. - In re JOHN PASCOE, Jun. - Commitments by County Courts. - This insolvent, who was a clerk to a mining company in Cornwall, was heard under the Protection Act a few days back, and his case adjourned, with protection, to the 26th of January instant. On Monday last, he was taken to Whitecross-street prison on a warrant of commitment granted by Mr. SERJEANT MANNING, as judge of the Whitechapel County Court, notwithstanding that he showed the officer his protection from this court. Mr. COOKE, at the rising of the Court on Monday, applied for his discharge, from the warrant of the county court judge by a warrant of this court. He produced an affidavit that it was for a debt owing to three persons named CADDY, for which judgment was signed at the County Court at Helston, in Cornwall, and which had been transferred to the Whitechapel County Court. He produced his protection from this court, and was committed whilst under protection. It transpired that the commitment was at the instance of the parties who were opposing him in this court, and was therefore a case of great hardship, the debt being in the schedule. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS to-day ordered a warrant of discharge to be sent to the prison. He had consulted Mr. Commissioner LAW, and was clearly of opinion that the insolvent was protected by the court, and that the warrant of commitment would not prevail. The warrant was accordingly discharged. THE LOSS OF THE AMAZON - Eleven more persons have been saved by a Dutch galliot, and landed at Plymouth on Thursday evening. They escaped in the port life-boat. Their names are as follows:- Rev. WILLIAM BLOOD, Mr. GLENNIE, Lieut. GRYLLS, W. ANGUS, second engineer; ISAAC ROBERTS, [.....an?]; C. DEUDNEY, and W. WALL, stokers; G. WEBB and WRIGHT, seamen; McINNES, storekeeper; and HARRIS?, BOY. The twenty-five persons saved by the [....k?] bark "Gertriuda" and carried into Brest, have recently all arrived at Southampton, and from them we learn that other boats besides the two in which they escaped and the life-boat picked up by the "Marsden" escaped in safety from the wreck. One of the passengers, Mr. Glennie, states that he saw Mr. WARBURTON completely dressed standing with Captain SYMONS and other persons near the helm, evidently waiting for the remaining boats to be lowered, and he expresses his belief that three of these boats got well off from the ship, after he and his companions had left her. This, according to his statement, was three [hours?] before the ship blew up, so that there are still grounds for hoping that we may yet hear of other survivors from the coast of Spain, or from some of the [......ward?]-bound ships which may have crossed their [.......?] and that no long time will elapse before some tidings will be heard, to relieve the terrible anxiety of those whose friends and relations are now numbered among the missing. Among the other passengers landed at Southampton last week, were Mrs. MACLENNAN and her child, and Miss SMITH, whose sufferings appear to have been intense. The escape of Mrs. Maclennan was almost a miraculous one - she was twice separated from her child, an infant of tender age; yet the courage she displayed in recovering it, in the midst of the [......es?] of horror attending the rapid conflagration of that ship, show the enduring love of a mother, which no circumstances of danger to herself could cause her to regret. We regret to add that the husband of Mrs. Maclennan is among the fearful list of the missing by this terrible castastrophe. She, however, entertains a firm conviction that Mr. Maclennan escaped in one of the boats which has yet to be accounted for, and we understand expresses an expectation that he may yet be heard of. Mrs. Maclennan is severely bruised, and her health is considerably shaken by the fearful suffering...........

Finally, one of mine! Abel MUTTON was the widower of Ann (Nancy) MATTHEWS BRAY, daughter of Thomas BRAY and Joanna MATTHEWS (1793 - 1844). Joanna was the dau of Philip MATTHEWS (1756 - 1818) and Ann (Nancy) WILLS (1755 - 1832). Joanna was my 4th GtGrandmother, and the (single) mother of George MATTHEWS (1810 - 1862), my 3rd GtGrandfather. Abel's new wife Mrs. Catherine TREWYN was the widow of Thomas TREWYN and the dau of John HAY and Mary ROUNSEVELL, also my 4th GtGrandparents. Catherine's sister Grace HAY married George MATTHEWS (yes, the illegitimate son of the above Joanna MATTHEWS). George and Grace were my 3rd GtGrandparents. Their son George MATTHEWS (1843 - 1910) married Jane MARSHALL 30 May 1863 in St. Teath where their first son George MATTHEWS III was born 19 Dec 1864, and then the family immigrated to the Slatebelt of Pennsylvania. Both of George's parents had died I descend from their daughter Elizabeth Grace (one of 11 children) who married a Welsh descendant, Wheldon WILLIAMS, who held the title of world champion slate splitter for 11 years. They were my great grandparents. The first George MATTHEWS was a witness for his sister in law Catherine's first marriage, and I'd be curious to know if he was also a witness for her second marriage to Abel. Catherine and Abel also emigrated to the Pennsylvania Slatebelt, with their son together George Henry MUTTON (1853 - 1917), and Mutton/Trewyn children from their respective first marriages. It took quite a few years of research to put all of above together. I'd be happy to exchange information on any of the above families, all of whom I've extensively researched with other descendants living in Cornwall, Canada, Australia, and the U.S. Best regards to the List, Dawn Williams, Corning, New York

Part Two West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser Friday 16th January, 1852. SENTENCES OF THE PRISONERS - The following sentences were passed on the prisoners whose trials we reported last week:- JAMES CHAPPEL, for stealing a musical box from WILLIAM SEYMOUR, to be Once Whipped and Discharged. THOMAS MOORE and STEPHEN COLLINS, taking barley from the granary of their master, THOMAS STANLAKE, of Liskeard, and giving it to his horses, - each One Week to Hard Labour. JOHN WESTCOTT, stealing bacon from JOHN HAINE, of Liskeard, One Month's Hard Labour. MATTHEW RICH, stealing apples from Mr. CARVETH, of Mevagissey, One Month's Hard Labour. JOHN DYER, stealing bed-sheets and other articles from W. MARSHALL and J. CHAPMAN, of Lanivet, Two Months' Hard Labour. JOHN HARRIS, stealing a gun from the Rev. J. W. HAWKSLEY, of Redruth, Two Months' Hard Labour. ARTHUR DOIDGE, stealing pigs' cheeks from WILLIAM BATE, Two Months' Hard Labour. RICHARD RICHARDS, stealing a coat from WILLIAM SARAH, of Mylor, Two Months' Hard Labour. PETER INCH and JOHN DYER, stealing two geese from THOMAS MARTIN, of St. Minver, Three Months' Hard Labour. MARY ANN HARRIS, stealing a pair of stays from JANE TREBILCOCK, of Redruth, Three Months' Hard Labour. ELLEN CUNDY and MARY ANN TREMAIN, the former charged with stealing money from ISAAC REEMAN, at St. Austell, the latter with receiving it, each Three Months' Hard Labour. JANE CHYNOWETH, stealing money from WILLIAM NICHOLLS, at Probus, Three Months' Hard Labour. JOHN DIXON, stealing a watch from FRANCIS VIVIAN, at Lostwithiel, Four Months' Hard Labour. RICHARD LANGDON, stealing fowls from FRANCIS PEARCE, of Camelford, Four Months' Hard Labour. MARY JANE KELLY, stealing a shawl from BENJAMIN HAWKEN, of Mevagissey, Four Months' Hard Labour. JOHN TINKUM, stealing potatoes from ALEXANDER REYNOLDS, of Penryn, Four Months' Hard Labour. ELISHA MICHELL and JEREMIAH BENNETT, for breaking and entering an outbuilding, and stealing fowls from Messrs. ROWE, of Newlyn. In passing sentence in this and similar cases, the Chairman remarked that the offence of poultry stealing was increasing in this county, and the Court felt that they were again obliged to resort to the more severe sentences which some years ago they had passed in these cases. In the present instance, also, the effects of intoxication had been evident in the conduct of the prisoners. He wished the advice which was constantly given from that Bench to those who were in the habit of using intoxicating liquors was more generally followed. He then sentenced the prisoners each to Six Months' Hard Labour. CATHERINE STEPHENS, for attempting to break into the dwelling-house of JOHN CASS, Six Months' Hard Labour. BARTLETT PASCOE and MARTHA ABBOTT, for assaulting WILLIAM RICHARDS, of St. Austell, and stealing money from his person. The Chairman said, we apprehend you have both been tried before though not convicted. Sentence, each Eight Months' Hard Labour. JOHN COLLICOTT, for stealing at Helston, a coat belonging to JOHN RANDALL, of Truro. Second conviction. Sentence Twelve Months' Hard Labour. JOHN FLINN, for stealing at Truro, a silk handkerchief from RICHARD ROBINS. The Chairman said, though only twenty years of age, there was a prior conviction against you in 1848, when you had six months' imprisonment, and since then you have had a very narrow escape. The sentence is that you be Transported For Seven Years. JOSIAH WILLIAMS, stealing a half-crown, the property of WILLIAM RANK, of Bodmin. The Chairman remarked, there was a prior conviction against you in 1851, and you had only been out of prison two weeks before you resorted to the same practices for which you were punished. You are only fourteen years of age, and we shall pass on you a sentence of transportation with the hope, however, that you may be suffered to remain in this country, and sent to one of those institutions where you may be carefully watched over, and see whether you cannot, through God's mercy, lead a more creditable life than you have hitherto done. He was then sentenced to Seven Years' Transportation. SAMUEL SOUTHARD, for stealing sixteen casks, the property of W. CARNE, of Falmouth. (Second conviction) The Chairman said, you were placed in a situation in which you availed yourself of the confidence reposed in you, to commit this felony, taking advantage of the ease with which you could pass to and from the different parts of the quay, without close observation of what you had in possession. He was then sentenced to be Transported For Seven Years. JOHN JULIAN, for assaulting and beating SAMUEL HILL, at Wadebridge. In passing sentence, the Chairman said, you are a man of advanced years, and the situation in which you are now placed, I am sorry to say is attributable to the said vice of drunkenness, for probably when out of liquor you are a well-conducted man, but in liquor you are violent and ungovernable. The jury thought proper to acquit you of assaulting the constable in the execution of his duty, but convicted you of a common assault. It was a most violent assault, and it was within a narrow miss that you are not holding your hand to the bar for murder, for the part on which you inflicted the wound made it a most dangerous one. I hope when you return to society you will become a better conducted man. Sentence, Three Months' Imprisonment. APPEALS - The following appeals were heard by the Court, J. K. LETHBRIDGE, Esq., Chairman:- Crantock, appellant; Mr. HOCKIN and Mr. SHILSON. St. Columb Minor, respondent; Mr. DARKE and Mr. G. B. COLLINS. An appeal against an order for the removal of KITTY MORRIS, wife of PHILIP MORRIS, and her children. Mr. Hockin stated, that in this case arrangements had been made for the admission of all the facts. The order appealed against was made on the 28th of August last; and six weeks previous to that time the pauper's husband was in prison under a conviction for felony; he was discharged at the end of October and returned immediately to his wife and children at Newquay, in the parish of St. Columb Minor, and had remained there since with his wife and children; having during his imprisonment always had an intention of returning to them as soon as discharged from prison. A prima facie settlement of the pauper in respondent parish was admitted, but the appellant's case was that the order ought to be quashed on the ground that the pauper was not removable. Appellants contended, first, that a temporary imprisonment of the pauper's husband for felony did not constitute a break of residence; and secondly, that if there were a break of residence, this order ought not to be quashed on the ground that the wife and children were irremovable. The husband at this time living with them, if the order were confirmed it could not legally be executed, since the law would not allow the separation of the husband from his wife and children. Various cases were cited, and it was submitted by appellant's advocates that the order ought to be quashed. The nature of the arguments advanced by appellants' advocates will be understood from the reply on the part of respondents. Mr. Darke, for respondents, affirmed that the cases already decided by the Court of Queen's bench clearly established the principle that imprisonment, either for misdemeanour or felony, was a disruption of the settlement. That was most conclusively decided in Queen v. Salford. He then replied to the cases cited on the other side, Queen v. Stogumber, AND Queen v. St. Mary Whitechapel, and said the language of the case of Queen v. Pott Shrigley was more definite. In that case it was argued that, inasmuch as the wife had been five years in the parish without break of residence, the husband's break of residence was not to affect her; but the Court decided that it did, and that where the husband was removeable, the wife was also removeable; and then, incidentally, it was argued whether imprisonment was a break of residence; and Lord Denman held that a long imprisonment for felony, misdemeanour, or any criminal offence, was a break of residence. There was no distinction as to felony or misdemeanour; in either case the party was prevented returning to his parish by operation of law. That was also the broad principle of the decision in Queen v. Halifax. But the case of Queen v. Holbeck was not one of conviction, either for misdemeanour or felony, but merely an imprisonment for a few days, for non-payment of a small fine for getting drunk, and the man might at any moment have been released on payment of the fine, and have returned to his wife and family. But the ground of Lord Denman's decision that the imprisonment in that case was not a breach of residence was that it would be a practice open to grave abuse, if overseers and churchwardens, who were by law the proper parties to proceed against a party for drunkenness, had it in their power to cause a break of residence of a man in their parish by getting him imprisoned for a short time for drunkenness. In Queen v. Caldicot, four New Sessions Cases, p. 691, there was only an absence of a few hours under an order of removal; and Lord Campbell said there was a period of time during which the pauper ceased to reside in the removing parish and during which he had no power to return to it; and the duration of that period was considered immaterial. On the two clear cases he (Mr. Darke) had referred to, and which were unaffected by the argument or the decision in Queen v. Holbeck, he contended that the imprisonment in the present case was a decided break of residence. On the second point taken by his friend Mr. Hockin, that the order of removal in the present case could not now be executed, Mr. Darke asserted that the original order of removal was good and might have been executed in twenty-one days from its date, but for the notice of appeal, which the appellants gave, in the expectation, he presumed, of getting the man back again. Their worships could only now inquire whether the original order was good or bad; and could not inquire into any state of facts between the order and the appeal. There was a broad distinction between the case of Whitechapel and the present; in the case of Whitechapel, there was never a moment in which the order could have been legally executed; but in the present case, the respondents were in a position to execute their order at the end of twenty-one days from its date. Another distinction was that in the case of Whitechapel the appeal was against the removal, and not against the order; whereas, in this case, there had been no removal, and the appeal was against an order which it was admitted was good at the time it was made. Mr. Darke, in conclusion, pressed for a confirmation of the order of removal, and evidence of settlement, although most probably it would not be executed; and he cited Queen v. Glossop as warranting his application. The Court confirmed the order; GBP5 costs, GBP1 maintenance. Mr. Hockin applied for a case on the first point, and on the other also; but the Court declined to grant it. ST GENNYS, appellant, Mr. DARKE and Mr. ROWE; Altarnun respondent, Mr. SHILSON and Mr. WHITE. This was an appeal against the order for the removal of Mrs. STACEY and her two children, from Altarnun to St. Genys. Mr. Darke moved that the case be adjourned in consequence of the absence of a material witness, ANN PROUT, of Warbstow, who, it is believed, had been put away to prevent her giving evidence. Mr. Shilson, for respondents, opposed the motion, stating that means should have been earlier taken to procure the attendance of the witness, and disclaimed, on the part of respondents, that they had any knowledge of her being out of the way. He said also that they had an old witness present, eighty-six years of age, whose important evidence they would be in danger of losing if the case were postponed. It was ultimately agreed, with the sanction of the court, that the sessions be adjourned to Launceston, at the Central Subscription Rooms, on Wednesday the 21st instant, for the purpose of hearing this case, and that should the death or incapacity of the old witness, THOMAS ROBINS, take place in the interval, his deposition taken in writing should be received as evidence. SEDLEY BASSET MARKE, Esq., took the oaths and qualified as a magistrate on the first day of the sessions, and not the Rev. SEDLEY BASSET MARKE, as stated in last week's paper. MISSING EMIGRANT SHIPS - Three vessels with nearly one thousand emigrants, which left Dublin for New York early in October last, have not since been heard of, and very serious apprehensions prevail for their safety. On Friday last a letter was received by a mercantile firm in Dublin from their agent in New York, stating that the non-arrival of those emigrant ships, nearly three months out, had caused much uneasiness, especially as several large vessels from Liverpool and other European ports, on the return voyage, were much over due, and it was known that the weather, for some weeks, had been more stormy and severe than ever had occurred during the memory of some of the oldest voyagers across the Atlantic. The owners of the missing emigrant ships from Dublin still entertain some hope that the long delay might have been caused by their having been driven out of their course in a northerly direction. THE WRECK OF THE STEAM VESSEL "AMAZON." - On Tuesday the 6th instant, the life boat belonging to this ill-fated vessel was picked up at Pridmouth, about two miles below Fowey. She had part of a hawser attached to her, corresponding with the reports which have appeared, having parted from the brig which conveyed the survivors into Plymouth. In reference to the wreck of the "Amazon" we have received the following from a Redruth correspondent:- "The wreck of this splendid steamer and its melancholy accompaniment, form one of the most distressing occurrences we have heard of for many years. The want of caution in stowing the cargo, appears in this, as in many other instances, to be the cause of the fire. Putting tallow near a fire seems a very absurd notion, and it certainly must have been an oversight of those in authority in that department; be that as it may, we see the fatal consequences. There is another thing which, had she been provided with, might have averted such dreadful loss of life, that is the means of shutting off the steam when there is no means of reaching the engine-room. I hope this latter remark may attract the attention of some one more able to prosecute such a suggestion." ACCIDENT - On Wednesday last, an ox belonging to Mr. THOMAS, butcher of Truro, whilst being driven through the streets of that town, became unmanageable, and occasioned much alarm to many persons. In Kenwyn-street the animal ran at a woman, but a child about six years of age, son of Mr. MINORS, carpenter, coming in the way, the horn of the animal penetrated the bowels of the child, who was immediately taken to the infirmary to be treated for this serious injury. The ox after this got into the leat, and gave a great deal of trouble before it could be secured. We trust we shall not again have to notice that human life has been placed in peril by driving infuriated animals through the streets. CORONER'S INQUEST - On Monday last, an inquest was held before Mr. GILBERT HAMLEY, deputy county coroner, at St. Austell, in view of the body of JAMES BROAD, a driver of one of the "Fairy" omnibuses, who met with his death from injuries he received by being thrown from the carriage the previous Wednesday. It appeared from the evidence that deceased was driving down the hill into St. Austell at an unusually fast pace. About half way down the hill there was a donkey cart in the middle of the road. The man to whom it belonged being rather deaf, did not hear the carriage coming until it was almost close to him. The man tried to pull in the cart, and the deceased in endeavouring to pass the cart struck against it, which frightened the horses and he lost all command over them. The wheels of the carriage then got into the gutter, and after proceeding a few yards, struck against a large stone which projects nearly sixteen inches into the street, and placed there to prevent vehicles from running against the corner of the house. The man was thrown several feet, the fall producing concussion of the brain of which he died three days after the injury. The jury, consisting of some of the most respectable tradesmen of the town, returned the following verdict. "That the said James Broad was accidentally killed by being thrown from Mr. KELLOW's omnibus, the wheels having come in contact with a large stone projecting in a narrow part of the street, which they hoped would be immediately removed." The jury also through their foreman hoped that Mr. Kellow and Mr. DUNN would caution their drivers against driving so fast down the hill entering St. Austell, feeling assured that if the deceased had driven down the hill at a moderate pace, the accident would not have happened. BENEVOLENCE - Sir S. T. SPRY has given a donation of a blanket to each of his poor tenants at St. Anthony and St. Mawes. APPOINTMENTS - The Right Honorable the Lords of the Privy Council of Trade have appointed Capt. WM. MILLER, of Falmouth, Surveyor of Steam Ships and Vessels, under the acts 14 and 15 Vic. Cap. 79, for the districts between Falmouth and St. Ives including all the Creeks, &c. And the Honorable the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs have appointed him Surveyor of Passenger Ships, under the acts 12 and 13 Vic. Cap. 33, and 14 Vic. Cap. 1. Mr. E. GILBERT of Falmouth, is the Engineer's Surveyor under the first named act, and for the same district. LONGEVITY - On Monday last DORCAS HAWKEN died at Port Isaac in the hundredth year of her age. Her death took place from the hooping cough, but for which she appeared likely to have lived for years longer. JURISDICTION OF CORONERS - A case affecting the jurisdiction of Coroners was decided at the Helston Borough Sessions, on Monday the 5th instant, by Mr. CHARLES DACRES BEVAN, the Recorder of the borough. At the borough sessions in April last, Mr. T. ROGERS applied under the 5 and 6 William IV., cap 76, s. 2, on behalf of Mr. R. H. ROSKRUGE, who had been appointed the Borough Coroner under that act, for an order on the treasurer for payment out of the borough fund, of Mr. Roskruge's fee, for holding an inquest within the borough in the month of January, 1851. The application was opposed by Mr. HILL on the part of the Town Council. The facts of the case are these: THOMAS POLGLAZE was drowned in the month of January last, in the Loe Pool, in the parish of Sithney, which is within the jurisdiction of the county coroner. The body of the deceased as soon as it was found, was carried to the house of the deceased, in the borough of Helston. The borough of Helston has a separate Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peach, and Mr. Roskruge was duly appointed the borough coroner under 5 and 6 William IV. Mr. HICHENS, one of the county coroners, received notice of the death, and came to Helston where the body was lying dead, and proceeded to hold the inquest. Whilst he was holding the inquest, Mr. Rogers, on behalf of Mr. Roskruge, gave Mr. Hichens notice, that Mr. Roskruge as the borough coroner, was alone entitled to hold the inquest; but notwithstanding this notice Mr. Hichens still persevered in taking the inquest, and Mr. Roskruge, the same evening summoned a jury, and held his inquest on the body of the deceased within the borough. After Mr. Rogers had satisfied the Court, that the inquest had been duly taken by the borough coroner, Mr. Hill, who opposed the application for the order, contended that inasmuch as the death happened in Sithney, the borough coroner had no jurisdiction, and cited Reg. v. the Great Western Railway Company, 3, Q.B. 333, 2 Hales, P.C. 66; and further that the recent statute, 6 and 7 Vic, c. 12, s. 1. did not affect this case. On behalf of the borough coroner, Mr. Rogers then argued, that since the statute 6th and 7th Victoria, cap 12, it was not material where the death happened, but the coroner, within whose jurisdiction the body was lying dead at the time the inquest, was taken was the proper coroner to hold the inquest, and cited Reg. v. Hinds, 5 W.B., 947, Reg. v. Ellis, 2 Car. And K., 470. The Recorder then said he should take time to consider the case, and at these last sessions delivered a very lengthy and elaborate judgment, making an order on the borough treasurer for payment of Mr. Roskruge's fee out of the borough fund. PENZANCE QUARTER SESSIONS - These Sessions were held on Friday last, before Mr. COLLIER, the Recorder, and the Mayor and borough Magistrates. There were only two prisoners for trial. MARY CHAPPLE, 34, wife of a working miner at Sancreed, was found guilty of stealing at Penzance, on the 27th of November, a quantity of sugar, coffee, soda, and a handkerchief belonging to GEORGE WILLIAMS, of St. Levan. She was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Another indictment against her was not proceeded with, it being a charge of stealing from the shop of Messrs. HIGGS and SON, grocers, on the 27th of November, a sack of flour, belonging to JOHN TRENOWETH, of Paul. Mr. PASCOE, was for the prosecution, and Mr. ROGERS defended the prisoner. HENRY ELLIS, a lad of 13, was charged with obtaining, under false pretences, form WILLIAM HARPER, ostler at the London Inn, Penzance, a horse and cart, with intent to defraud the owner, HENRY TREWARN, of Madron. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for six months. CORNWALL COUNTY COURTS - Truro - At this Court on Friday last, there were forty-five cases entered, and eleven adjourned from the previous court. In the case of WM. BIRRELL v. JOHN and THOMAS McFadden, heard at the last court, the referee, Mr. W. CLYMA, on examining the books had found a balance due to plaintiff of GBP32. 10s. After, however, the reference had been closed, but the award not drawn up, Messrs. McFadden, discovered that an amount of GBP25 in their favour had been overlooked in the reference. Mr. Clyma, however, having taken advice on the subject, did not feel justified in re-opening the inquiry. Mr. Stokes therefore applied to the court on Friday last, for a new trial of the case, and a rule was granted which will be argued at the next court. In the case of NICHOLAS FRANCIS BASSETT, v. REUBEN DYER BONE, who owed plaintiff rent for an estate, defendant for non-payment of debt and costs, amounting to GBP37, was committed to prison for forty days. In the case of SHEPHERD v. RICHARD WHITFORD, of Probus, defendant for contempt of court, in not appearing to summons, was committed for thirty days. ST AUSTELL - This court was held on Thursday the 8th instant, when thirty-eight cases were tried, but none were of public interest. Mr. SILIAS TINNEY, Upholsterer of St. Austell, received his final order. The petition of Miss GRACE BENNET, grocer, was adjourned to the next court. LAUNCESTON - This court was held on Wednesday last, before Mr. PRAED, when only thirteen cases were entered for trial, - his Honor gave judgment in the case of KITTOW v. JULIAN, adjourned from last court. Plaintiff sued defendant for GBP31. 3s. for work and labour done by him as engineer and surveyor in the year 1845, on a projected line of railway called the Great Western and Falmouth Junction. Judgment was given for plaintiff for GBP28. with costs, to be paid on the 24th of January. TRURO POLICE - On Monday last, JOHN ALLEN, of Truro, waterman, was charged with stealing a quantity of new rope from the rafts of timber in Truro river, the rope being the property of Mr. W. BAYNARD, merchant. It appeared from the evidence that police constable FITZSIMMONS met Allen about nine in the morning in East Bridge-street, with a bundle under his arm. Suspecting that all was not right, the policeman went to a marine store dealer's shop in Kenwyn-street, kept by THOMAS PENNA, and found that Allen had that morning sold a quantity of rope there. He afterwards discovered where it had been stolen from, and taking a portion of the rope from Penna's shop, in company with Mr. CURNEW, clerk to Mr. Baynard, the policeman found that the rope from the shop corresponded with the ends left on the rafts. Allen was remanded until Tuesday, and then committed to take his trial at the assizes. ST. AUSTELL PETTY SESSIONS - These sessions were held on Tuesday last, when there were more cases than usual, most of them for assaults. ELIZABETH TEAGUE, of Carvath, summoned MARY PENHALL for assault, but this case was dismissed, each party having to pay her own costs. A lad named CLOAK of Mevagissey, was charged with assaulting a man named CROSS, and committed for six weeks to the House of Correction. JOHN PAUL, of Redruth, was summoned by the St. Austell police for ill-treating a horse, and fined 5s. and costs. Mr. JAGO, of Mevagissey, charged two persons names Cross, and a person called PEARCE with assaulting him. The charge against Cross the younger and Pearce was dismissed; but Cross sen., was fined 1s. and costs. RICHARD HANCOCK, of St. Blazey, was fined 5s. for getting drunk. A man called BERESON, of St. Austell was charged with poaching on the grounds of Sir J.S.G. SAWLE, Bart., and was fined 7s. 6d., with costs. Captain WEBB, of Great Brynn Mine, was summoned by the keeper of a toll-bar near the Victoria Inn, charged with pulling down and destroying the bar, but the charge being wrongly preferred, the case was dismissed. COMMITTAL - On Friday last, at St. Austell, a man named WILLIAM JOHNS, was committed for twenty-one days, for leaving the union and wearing away the workhouse clothing. CAUTION TO MINERS - At the West Penwith Petty Sessions, OLIVER POOLE and GEORGE HAWKE, miners were charged by Mr. RICHARD BOYNS, purser of Wheal Owles mine, St. Just, with having on the 8th of December last, contracted to stope four fathoms at the bottom of the eighty fathom level of that mine, at West Cargotha, and subsequently refusing to complete their engagement. After hearing the evidence, the bench convicted the defendants, but allowed them a brief period to say whether they would go back and complete their contract, at the same time informing them that they had incurred the penalty of three months' imprisonment in the house of correction at Bodmin. The defendants, however, persisting in declining to fulfil their arrangement, they were sentenced to one month's imprisonment at Bodmin, with hard [labour]. PRESENT TO Mrs. KELYNACK - The fame of this old fisherwoman is so widely spread that lately there was received from Worcestershire, by Mr. LAVIN, of Penzance, a handsome Bohemian vase, accompanied by directions that it should be given to the Cornish octogenarian. The vase was presented on Monday last, and Mrs. Kelynack was delighted with the present.

The other names of female death registrations are Alice, Catherine, Eliza, Mary and Susanna and I can't see any of these with a Samuel on the 1851 Penzance census. ________________________________ From: "isabelj@talktalk.net" <isabelj@talktalk.net> To: cornish-gen@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, 4 September, 2010 18:27:48 Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] Error on 9th January 1852 BMDs. Bill has just pointed out that the wife of Mr. Samuel Curnow was aged 2 years??? Having checked the original newspaper, it definitely says "2 years".

Part Two West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 16th January, 1851 SENTENCES OF THE PRISONERS - The following sentences were passed on the prisoners whose trials we reported last week:- JAMES CHAPPEL, for stealing a musical box from WILLIAM SEYMOUR, to be Once Whipped and Discharged. THOMAS MOORE and STEPHEN COLLINS, taking barley from the granary of their master, THOMAS STANLAKE, of Liskeard, and giving it to his horses, - each One Week to Hard Labour. JOHN WESTCOTT, stealing bacon from JOHN HAINE, of Liskeard, One Month's Hard Labour. MATTHEW RICH, stealing apples from Mr. CARVETH, of Mevagissey, One Month's Hard Labour. JOHN DYER, stealing bed-sheets and other articles from W. MARSHALL and J. CHAPMAN, of Lanivet, Two Months' Hard Labour. JOHN HARRIS, stealing a gun from the Rev. J. W. HAWKSLEY, of Redruth, Two Months' Hard Labour. ARTHUR DOIDGE, stealing pigs' cheeks from WILLIAM BATE, Two Months' Hard Labour. RICHARD RICHARDS, stealing a coat from WILLIAM SARAH, of Mylor, Two Months' Hard Labour. PETER INCH and JOHN DYER, stealing two geese from THOMAS MARTIN, of St. Minver, Three Months' Hard Labour. MARY ANN HARRIS, stealing a pair of stays from JANE TREBILCOCK, of Redruth, Three Months' Hard Labour. ELLEN CUNDY and MARY ANN TREMAIN, the former charged with stealing money from ISAAC REEMAN, at St. Austell, the latter with receiving it, each Three Months' Hard Labour. JANE CHYNOWETH, stealing money from WILLIAM NICHOLLS, at Probus, Three Months' Hard Labour. JOHN DIXON, stealing a watch from FRANCIS VIVIAN, at Lostwithiel, Four Months' Hard Labour. RICHARD LANGDON, stealing fowls from FRANCIS PEARCE, of Camelford, Four Months' Hard Labour. MARY JANE KELLY, stealing a shawl from BENJAMIN HAWKEN, of Mevagissey, Four Months' Hard Labour. JOHN TINKUM, stealing potatoes from ALEXANDER REYNOLDS, of Penryn, Four Months' Hard Labour. ELISHA MICHELL and JEREMIAH BENNETT, for breaking and entering an outbuilding, and stealing fowls from Messrs. ROWE, of Newlyn. In passing sentence in this and similar cases, the Chairman remarked that the offence of poultry stealing was increasing in this county, and the Court felt that they were again obliged to resort to the more severe sentences which some years ago they had passed in these cases. In the present instance, also, the effects of intoxication had been evident in the conduct of the prisoners. He wished the advice which was constantly given from that Bench to those who were in the habit of using intoxicating liquors was more generally followed. He then sentenced the prisoners each to Six Months' Hard Labour. CATHERINE STEPHENS, for attempting to break into the dwelling-house of JOHN CASS, Six Months' Hard Labour. BARTLETT PASCOE and MARTHA ABBOTT, for assaulting WILLIAM RICHARDS, of St. Austell, and stealing money from his person. The Chairman said, we apprehend you have both been tried before though not convicted. Sentence, each Eight Months' Hard Labour. JOHN COLLICOTT, for stealing at Helston, a coat belonging to JOHN RANDALL, of Truro. Second conviction. Sentence Twelve Months' Hard Labour. JOHN FLINN, for stealing at Truro, a silk handkerchief from RICHARD ROBINS. The Chairman said, though only twenty years of age, there was a prior conviction against you in 1848, when you had six months' imprisonment, and since then you have had a very narrow escape. The sentence is that you be Transported For Seven Years. JOSIAH WILLIAMS, stealing a half-crown, the property of WILLIAM RANK, of Bodmin. The Chairman remarked, there was a prior conviction against you in 1851, and you had only been out of prison two weeks before you resorted to the same practices for which you were punished. You are only fourteen years of age, and we shall pass on you a sentence of transportation with the hope, however, that you may be suffered to remain in this country, and sent to one of those institutions where you may be carefully watched over, and see whether you cannot, through God's mercy, lead a more creditable life than you have hitherto done. He was then sentenced to Seven Years' Transportation. SAMUEL SOUTHARD, for stealing sixteen casks, the property of W. CARNE, of Falmouth. (Second conviction) The Chairman said, you were placed in a situation in which you availed yourself of the confidence reposed in you, to commit this felony, taking advantage of the ease with which you could pass to and from the different parts of the quay, without close observation of what you had in possession. He was then sentenced to be Transported For Seven Years. JOHN JULIAN, for assaulting and beating SAMUEL HILL, at Wadebridge. In passing sentence, the Chairman said, you are a man of advanced years, and the situation in which you are now placed, I am sorry to say is attributable to the said vice of drunkenness, for probably when out of liquor you are a well-conducted man, but in liquor you are violent and ungovernable. The jury thought proper to acquit you of assaulting the constable in the execution of his duty, but convicted you of a common assault. It was a most violent assault, and it was within a narrow miss that you are not holding your hand to the bar for murder, for the part on which you inflicted the wound made it a most dangerous one. I hope when you return to society you will become a better conducted man. Sentence, Three Months' Imprisonment. APPEALS - The following appeals were heard by the Court, J. K. LETHBRIDGE, Esq., Chairman:- Crantock, appellant; Mr. HOCKIN and Mr. SHILSON. St. Columb Minor, respondent; Mr. DARKE and Mr. G. B. COLLINS. An appeal against an order for the removal of KITTY MORRIS, wife of PHILIP MORRIS, and her children. Mr. Hockin stated, that in this case arrangements had been made for the admission of all the facts. The order appealed against was made on the 28th of August last; and six weeks previous to that time the pauper's husband was in prison under a conviction for felony; he was discharged at the end of October and returned immediately to his wife and children at Newquay, in the parish of St. Columb Minor, and had remained there since with his wife and children; having during his imprisonment always had an intention of returning to them as soon as discharged from prison. A prima facie settlement of the pauper in respondent parish was admitted, but the appellant's case was that the order ought to be quashed on the ground that the pauper was not removable. Appellants contended, first, that a temporary imprisonment of the pauper's husband for felony did not constitute a break of residence; and secondly, that if there were a break of residence, this order ought not to be quashed on the ground that the wife and children were irremovable. The husband at this time living with them, if the order were confirmed it could not legally be executed, since the law would not allow the separation of the husband from his wife and children. Various cases were cited, and it was submitted by appellant's advocates that the order ought to be quashed. The nature of the arguments advanced by appellants' advocates will be understood from the reply on the part of respondents. Mr. Darke, for respondents, affirmed that the cases already decided by the Court of Queen's bench clearly established the principle that imprisonment, either for misdemeanour or felony, was a disruption of the settlement. That was most conclusively decided in Queen v. Salford. He then replied to the cases cited on the other side, Queen v. Stogumber, AND Queen v. St. Mary Whitechapel, and said the language of the case of Queen v. Pott Shrigley was more definite. In that case it was argued that, inasmuch as the wife had been five years in the parish without break of residence, the husband's break of residence was not to affect her; but the Court decided that it did, and that where the husband was removeable, the wife was also removeable; and then, incidentally, it was argued whether imprisonment was a break of residence; and Lord Denman held that a long imprisonment for felony, misdemeanour, or any criminal offence, was a break of residence. There was no distinction as to felony or misdemeanour; in either case the party was prevented returning to his parish by operation of law. That was also the broad principle of the decision in Queen v. Halifax. But the case of Queen v. Holbeck was not one of conviction, either for misdemeanour or felony, but merely an imprisonment for a few days, for non-payment of a small fine for getting drunk, and the man might at any moment have been released on payment of the fine, and have returned to his wife and family. But the ground of Lord Denman's decision that the imprisonment in that case was not a breach of residence was that it would be a practice open to grave abuse, if overseers and churchwardens, who were by law the proper parties to proceed against a party for drunkenness, had it in their power to cause a break of residence of a man in their parish by getting him imprisoned for a short time for drunkenness. In Queen v. Caldicot, four New Sessions Cases, p. 691, there was only an absence of a few hours under an order of removal; and Lord Campbell said there was a period of time during which the pauper ceased to reside in the removing parish and during which he had no power to return to it; and the duration of that period was considered immaterial. On the two clear cases he (Mr. Darke) had referred to, and which were unaffected by the argument or the decision in Queen v. Holbeck, he contended that the imprisonment in the present case was a decided break of residence. On the second point taken by his friend Mr. Hockin, that the order of removal in the present case could not now be executed, Mr. Darke asserted that the original order of removal was good and might have been executed in twenty-one days from its date, but for the notice of appeal, which the appellants gave, in the expectation, he presumed, of getting the man back again. Their worships could only now inquire whether the original order was good or bad; and could not inquire into any state of facts between the order and the appeal. There was a broad distinction between the case of Whitechapel and the present; in the case of Whitechapel, there was never a moment in which the order could have been legally executed; but in the present case, the respondents were in a position to execute their order at the end of twenty-one days from its date. Another distinction was that in the case of Whitechapel the appeal was against the removal, and not against the order; whereas, in this case, there had been no removal, and the appeal was against an order which it was admitted was good at the time it was made. Mr. Darke, in conclusion, pressed for a confirmation of the order of removal, and evidence of settlement, although most probably it would not be executed; and he cited Queen v. Glossop as warranting his application. The Court confirmed the order; GBP5 costs, GBP1 maintenance. Mr. Hockin applied for a case on the first point, and on the other also; but the Court declined to grant it. ST GENNYS, appellant, Mr. DARKE and Mr. ROWE; Altarnun respondent, Mr. SHILSON and Mr. WHITE. This was an appeal against the order for the removal of Mrs. STACEY and her two children, from Altarnun to St. Genys. Mr. Darke moved that the case be adjourned in consequence of the absence of a material witness, ANN PROUT, of Warbstow, who, it is believed, had been put away to prevent her giving evidence. Mr. Shilson, for respondents, opposed the motion, stating that means should have been earlier taken to procure the attendance of the witness, and disclaimed, on the part of respondents, that they had any knowledge of her being out of the way. He said also that they had an old witness present, eighty-six years of age, whose important evidence they would be in danger of losing if the case were postponed. It was ultimately agreed, with the sanction of the court, that the sessions be adjourned to Launceston, at the Central Subscription Rooms, on Wednesday the 21st instant, for the purpose of hearing this case, and that should the death or incapacity of the old witness, THOMAS ROBINS, take place in the interval, his deposition taken in writing should be received as evidence. SEDLEY BASSET MARKE, Esq., took the oaths and qualified as a magistrate on the first day of the sessions, and not the Rev. SEDLEY BASSET MARKE, as stated in last week's paper. MISSING EMIGRANT SHIPS - Three vessels with nearly one thousand emigrants, which left Dublin for New York early in October last, have not since been heard of, and very serious apprehensions prevail for their safety. On Friday last a letter was received by a mercantile firm in Dublin from their agent in New York, stating that the non-arrival of those emigrant ships, nearly three months out, had caused much uneasiness, especially as several large vessels from Liverpool and other European ports, on the return voyage, were much over due, and it was known that the weather, for some weeks, had been more stormy and severe than ever had occurred during the memory of some of the oldest voyagers across the Atlantic. The owners of the missing emigrant ships from Dublin still entertain some hope that the long delay might have been caused by their having been driven out of their course in a northerly direction. THE WRECK OF THE STEAM VESSEL "AMAZON." - On Tuesday the 6th instant, the life boat belonging to this ill-fated vessel was picked up at Pridmouth, about two miles below Fowey. She had part of a hawser attached to her, corresponding with the reports which have appeared, having parted from the brig which conveyed the survivors into Plymouth. In reference to the wreck of the "Amazon" we have received the following from a Redruth correspondent:- "The wreck of this splendid steamer and its melancholy accompaniment, form one of the most distressing occurrences we have heard of for many years. The want of caution in stowing the cargo, appears in this, as in many other instances, to be the cause of the fire. Putting tallow near a fire seems a very absurd notion, and it certainly must have been an oversight of those in authority in that department; be that as it may, we see the fatal consequences. There is another thing which, had she been provided with, might have averted such dreadful loss of life, that is the means of shutting off the steam when there is no means of reaching the engine-room. I hope this latter remark may attract the attention of some one more able to prosecute such a suggestion." ACCIDENT - On Wednesday last, an ox belonging to Mr. THOMAS, butcher of Truro, whilst being driven through the streets of that town, became unmanageable, and occasioned much alarm to many persons. In Kenwyn-street the animal ran at a woman, but a child about six years of age, son of Mr. MINORS, carpenter, coming in the way, the horn of the animal penetrated the bowels of the child, who was immediately taken to the infirmary to be treated for this serious injury. The ox after this got into the leat, and gave a great deal of trouble before it could be secured. We trust we shall not again have to notice that human life has been placed in peril by driving infuriated animals through the streets. CORONER'S INQUEST - On Monday last, an inquest was held before Mr. GILBERT HAMLEY, deputy county coroner, at St. Austell, in view of the body of JAMES BROAD, a driver of one of the "Fairy" omnibuses, who met with his death from injuries he received by being thrown from the carriage the previous Wednesday. It appeared from the evidence that deceased was driving down the hill into St. Austell at an unusually fast pace. About half way down the hill there was a donkey cart in the middle of the road. The man to whom it belonged being rather deaf, did not hear the carriage coming until it was almost close to him. The man tried to pull in the cart, and the deceased in endeavouring to pass the cart struck against it, which frightened the horses and he lost all command over them. The wheels of the carriage then got into the gutter, and after proceeding a few yards, struck against a large stone which projects nearly sixteen inches into the street, and placed there to prevent vehicles from running against the corner of the house. The man was thrown several feet, the fall producing concussion of the brain of which he died three days after the injury. The jury, consisting of some of the most respectable tradesmen of the town, returned the following verdict. "That the said James Broad was accidentally killed by being thrown from Mr. KELLOW's omnibus, the wheels having come in contact with a large stone projecting in a narrow part of the street, which they hoped would be immediately removed." The jury also through their foreman hoped that Mr. Kellow and Mr. DUNN would caution their drivers against driving so fast down the hill entering St. Austell, feeling assured that if the deceased had driven down the hill at a moderate pace, the accident would not have happened. BENEVOLENCE - Sir S. T. SPRY has given a donation of a blanket to each of his poor tenants at St. Anthony and St. Mawes. APPOINTMENTS - The Right Honorable the Lords of the Privy Council of Trade have appointed Capt. WM. MILLER, of Falmouth, Surveyor of Steam Ships and Vessels, under the acts 14 and 15 Vic. Cap. 79, for the districts between Falmouth and St. Ives including all the Creeks, &c. And the Honorable the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs have appointed him Surveyor of Passenger Ships, under the acts 12 and 13 Vic. Cap. 33, and 14 Vic. Cap. 1. Mr. E. GILBERT of Falmouth, is the Engineer's Surveyor under the first named act, and for the same district. LONGEVITY - On Monday last DORCAS HAWKEN died at Port Isaac in the hundredth year of her age. Her death took place from the hooping cough, but for which she appeared likely to have lived for years longer. JURISDICTION OF CORONERS - A case affecting the jurisdiction of Coroners was decided at the Helston Borough Sessions, on Monday the 5th instant, by Mr. CHARLES DACRES BEVAN, the Recorder of the borough. At the borough sessions in April last, Mr. T. ROGERS applied under the 5 and 6 William IV., cap 76, s. 2, on behalf of Mr. R. H. ROSKRUGE, who had been appointed the Borough Coroner under that act, for an order on the treasurer for payment out of the borough fund, of Mr. Roskruge's fee, for holding an inquest within the borough in the month of January, 1851. The application was opposed by Mr. HILL on the part of the Town Council. The facts of the case are these: THOMAS POLGLAZE was drowned in the month of January last, in the Loe Pool, in the parish of Sithney, which is within the jurisdiction of the county coroner. The body of the deceased as soon as it was found, was carried to the house of the deceased, in the borough of Helston. The borough of Helston has a separate Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peach, and Mr. Roskruge was duly appointed the borough coroner under 5 and 6 William IV. Mr. HICHENS, one of the county coroners, received notice of the death, and came to Helston where the body was lying dead, and proceeded to hold the inquest. Whilst he was holding the inquest, Mr. Rogers, on behalf of Mr. Roskruge, gave Mr. Hichens notice, that Mr. Roskruge as the borough coroner, was alone entitled to hold the inquest; but notwithstanding this notice Mr. Hichens still persevered in taking the inquest, and Mr. Roskruge, the same evening summoned a jury, and held his inquest on the body of the deceased within the borough. After Mr. Rogers had satisfied the Court, that the inquest had been duly taken by the borough coroner, Mr. Hill, who opposed the application for the order, contended that inasmuch as the death happened in Sithney, the borough coroner had no jurisdiction, and cited Reg. v. the Great Western Railway Company, 3, Q.B. 333, 2 Hales, P.C. 66; and further that the recent statute, 6 and 7 Vic, c. 12, s. 1. did not affect this case. On behalf of the borough coroner, Mr. Rogers then argued, that since the statute 6th and 7th Victoria, cap 12, it was not material where the death happened, but the coroner, within whose jurisdiction the body was lying dead at the time the inquest, was taken was the proper coroner to hold the inquest, and cited Reg. v. Hinds, 5 W.B., 947, Reg. v. Ellis, 2 Car. And K., 470. The Recorder then said he should take time to consider the case, and at these last sessions delivered a very lengthy and elaborate judgment, making an order on the borough treasurer for payment of Mr. Roskruge's fee out of the borough fund. PENZANCE QUARTER SESSIONS - These Sessions were held on Friday last, before Mr. COLLIER, the Recorder, and the Mayor and borough Magistrates. There were only two prisoners for trial. MARY CHAPPLE, 34, wife of a working miner at Sancreed, was found guilty of stealing at Penzance, on the 27th of November, a quantity of sugar, coffee, soda, and a handkerchief belonging to GEORGE WILLIAMS, of St. Levan. She was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Another indictment against her was not proceeded with, it being a charge of stealing from the shop of Messrs. HIGGS and SON, grocers, on the 27th of November, a sack of flour, belonging to JOHN TRENOWETH, of Paul. Mr. PASCOE, was for the prosecution, and Mr. ROGERS defended the prisoner. HENRY ELLIS, a lad of 13, was charged with obtaining, under false pretences, form WILLIAM HARPER, ostler at the London Inn, Penzance, a horse and cart, with intent to defraud the owner, HENRY TREWARN, of Madron. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for six months. CORNWALL COUNTY COURTS - Truro - At this Court on Friday last, there were forty-five cases entered, and eleven adjourned from the previous court. In the case of WM. BIRRELL v. JOHN and THOMAS McFadden, heard at the last court, the referee, Mr. W. CLYMA, on examining the books had found a balance due to plaintiff of GBP32. 10s. After, however, the reference had been closed, but the award not drawn up, Messrs. McFadden, discovered that an amount of GBP25 in their favour had been overlooked in the reference. Mr. Clyma, however, having taken advice on the subject, did not feel justified in re-opening the inquiry. Mr. Stokes therefore applied to the court on Friday last, for a new trial of the case, and a rule was granted which will be argued at the next court. In the case of NICHOLAS FRANCIS BASSETT, v. REUBEN DYER BONE, who owed plaintiff rent for an estate, defendant for non-payment of debt and costs, amounting to GBP37, was committed to prison for forty days. In the case of SHEPHERD v. RICHARD WHITFORD, of Probus, defendant for contempt of court, in not appearing to summons, was committed for thirty days. ST AUSTELL - This court was held on Thursday the 8th instant, when thirty-eight cases were tried, but none were of public interest. Mr. SILIAS TINNEY, Upholsterer of St. Austell, received his final order. The petition of Miss GRACE BENNET, grocer, was adjourned to the next court. LAUNCESTON - This court was held on Wednesday last, before Mr. PRAED, when only thirteen cases were entered for trial, - his Honor gave judgment in the case of KITTOW v. JULIAN, adjourned from last court. Plaintiff sued defendant for GBP31. 3s. for work and labour done by him as engineer and surveyor in the year 1845, on a projected line of railway called the Great Western and Falmouth Junction. Judgment was given for plaintiff for GBP28. with costs, to be paid on the 24th of January. TRURO POLICE - On Monday last, JOHN ALLEN, of Truro, waterman, was charged with stealing a quantity of new rope from the rafts of timber in Truro river, the rope being the property of Mr. W. BAYNARD, merchant. It appeared from the evidence that police constable FITZSIMMONS met Allen about nine in the morning in East Bridge-street, with a bundle under his arm. Suspecting that all was not right, the policeman went to a marine store dealer's shop in Kenwyn-street, kept by THOMAS PENNA, and found that Allen had that morning sold a quantity of rope there. He afterwards discovered where it had been stolen from, and taking a portion of the rope from Penna's shop, in company with Mr. CURNEW, clerk to Mr. Baynard, the policeman found that the rope from the shop corresponded with the ends left on the rafts. Allen was remanded until Tuesday, and then committed to take his trial at the assizes. ST. AUSTELL PETTY SESSIONS - These sessions were held on Tuesday last, when there were more cases than usual, most of them for assaults. ELIZABETH TEAGUE, of Carvath, summoned MARY PENHALL for assault, but this case was dismissed, each party having to pay her own costs. A lad named CLOAK of Mevagissey, was charged with assaulting a man named CROSS, and committed for six weeks to the House of Correction. JOHN PAUL, of Redruth, was summoned by the St. Austell police for ill-treating a horse, and fined 5s. and costs. Mr. JAGO, of Mevagissey, charged two persons names Cross, and a person called PEARCE with assaulting him. The charge against Cross the younger and Pearce was dismissed; but Cross sen., was fined 1s. and costs. RICHARD HANCOCK, of St. Blazey, was fined 5s. for getting drunk. A man called BERESON, of St. Austell was charged with poaching on the grounds of Sir J.S.G. SAWLE, Bart., and was fined 7s. 6d., with costs. Captain WEBB, of Great Brynn Mine, was summoned by the keeper of a toll-bar near the Victoria Inn, charged with pulling down and destroying the bar, but the charge being wrongly preferred, the case was dismissed. COMMITTAL - On Friday last, at St. Austell, a man named WILLIAM JOHNS, was committed for twenty-one days, for leaving the union and wearing away the workhouse clothing. CAUTION TO MINERS - At the West Penwith Petty Sessions, OLIVER POOLE and GEORGE HAWKE, miners were charged by Mr. RICHARD BOYNS, purser of Wheal Owles mine, St. Just, with having on the 8th of December last, contracted to stope four fathoms at the bottom of the eighty fathom level of that mine, at West Cargotha, and subsequently refusing to complete their engagement. After hearing the evidence, the bench convicted the defendants, but allowed them a brief period to say whether they would go back and complete their contract, at the same time informing them that they had incurred the penalty of three months' imprisonment in the house of correction at Bodmin. The defendants, however, persisting in declining to fulfil their arrangement, they were sentenced to one month's imprisonment at Bodmin, with hard [labour]. PRESENT TO Mrs. KELYNACK - The fame of this old fisherwoman is so widely spread that lately there was received from Worcestershire, by Mr. LAVIN, of Penzance, a handsome Bohemian vase, accompanied by directions that it should be given to the Cornish octogenarian. The vase was presented on Monday last, and Mrs. Kelynack was delighted with the present.
