West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser 12th December, 1851. PART TWO TRURO COUNTY COURT - A BUILDER'S CASE - COCK v. SEYMOUR. - In this case, the plaintiff and defendant are both builders in Truro. Mr. STOKES appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. CHILCOTT for defendant. The plaintiff's claim was for GBP8, in respect of a party-wall which it was alleged he had built and sold to the defendant. It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff, Mr. EDWARD COCK, that he had built several houses on land belonging to the Earl of Falmouth, in Edward-street, Truro. The last built of those houses he had sold for GBP77 to Mr. JOSIAH RAWLINGS, with a reservation of the punion-end for an adjoining house. The defendant being about to build on the adjoining plot, made application to plaintiff in February last; and the plaintiff gave him up the advantage of that piece of ground on the defendant's agreeing to pay him for the end wall, according to a valuation to be made by Mr. JOHN HALL, another builder. Mr. Hall valued the wall in March, and although the defendant at first said he considered GBP8, the sum named as his half-expense of the wall - "a little too stiff," he agreed to pay it in two or three weeks; but had not done so. Mr. Hall proved the valuation; and both he and Mr. WILLIAM JOHNS, another builder, proved that it was customary, in building a house to make fireplaces, stacks, &c. in the end wall for the convenience of the person who might build adjoining; and for the person so building to pay half the expense of the wall. Several other witnesses, it was stated, were in attendance to prove this custom. Mr. Chilcott, for the defence, said that Mr. Seymour was quite willing to pay the GBP8 for the wall, but he only wished to be satisfied as to whom he was to pay it to - whether to Mr. Cock or to Mr. Rawlings. The promise made to Mr. Cock was before Mr. Seymour knew of any claim by Mr. Rawlings. He (Mr. Chilcott) should show that the hole of the house, including the end wall was sold, without any reservation whatever, by the plaintiff to Mr. Rawlings, who insisted that the GBP8 for the party wall was due from Mr. Seymour to him, and not to Mr. Cock. Mr. Josiah Rawlings was examined; He stated that he bought the house early in 1849, of Mr. Cock, without any reservation whatever in respect of the end wall, which continued open and wholly unprotected by any other building, until Mr. Seymour began to build. After purchasing the house, witness took up the lease from the Early of Falmouth; he produced the lease, with measurement and plan of the plot of ground, and stated that the whole of the wall in question stood within the limits of the ground granted him by the Earl of Falmouth through his steward. As soon as he heard that Mr. Seymour was going to build on the adjoining plot, he claimed from him payment in respect of the end wall, and Mr. Seymour had paid him part of the price. (It appeared, however, that this payment was made subsequent to the origin of the present dispute between plaintiff and defendant). Mr. Rawlings who gave evidence concerning an interview which he had on the subject, with Mr. FOULKES, the Early of Falmouth's steward; and, afterwards added that when he bought the house of Mr. Cock, he distinctly offered a less sum for the house without the end wall. This statement was positively contradicted by Mr. Cock. Mr. Stokes replied, and Mr. Chilcott made some observations on the evidence concerning the lease to the effect that the case would seem to resolve itself into a question of title, and therefore was beyond the jurisdiction of the Court. - Judgment deferred. RECOVERY OF TITHES - NICHOLAS FRANCIS BASSETT v. [REUBEN?) DYER BONE - Mr. HOCKIN appeared for the plaintiff, who lives in Lemon-street, Truro; and Mr. BENNALLACK for defendant, a farmer of the parish of Ladock. The action was brought to recover GBP31. 12s. 7d.[?], the arrears of tithe rent-charge alleged to be due by defendant, to the 1st of July last, as occupier of an estate called Penhale, in the parish of Ladock, which sum had been paid by plaintiff, as owner of the estate, to the Rev. RICHARD FARQUHAR WISE, rector of Ladock. The action was brought under an act of Parliament passed in the present year, 14th and [..h?] Victoria, c. 25, s. 4, - "That if any occupying tenant of land shall quit, leaving unpaid any tithe rent-charge charged for or upon such land, which he is by the terms of his tenancy or holding, legally or equitably liable to pay, and the tithe-owner shall give, or have given notice of proceeding by distress upon the land for recovery thereof, it shall be lawful for the landlord, or the succeeding tenant or occupier, to pay such tithe rent-charge and any expenses incident thereto, and to recover the amount or sum of money which he may so pay over against such first-named tenant or occupier, or his legal representatives, in the same manner as if the same were a debt by simple contract due from such first-named tenant or occupier to the landlord or tenant making such payment." Mr. Bassett was then called and deposed that he was the owner of Penhale estate, and that Bone was his tenant up to Michaelmas last, and by the terms of his tenancy was to pay the tithes. Bone was tenant from year to year, having taken on the estate from his father. Defendant had said on different occasions that he was quite ready to pay the tithes. Defendant had lately sold off his stock; and plaintiff had since paid the amount claimed for tithes to the 1st of July, to the rector's agent. On cross-examination, witness said the estate was held by defendant at GBP110 a year, he never agreed to let it to him for GBP95, but as Bone was greatly in arrear, he told him if he would close his account he would allow him GBP15 a year. Plaintiff had distrained on defendant; had made him a considerable allowance on what he owed, but always told him he was subject to the tithes. The estate was so much out of condition, from the seeds not having been sown, &c., that it had been let to another tenant since Michaelmas, for a term of seven years, at GBP60 the first, GBP70 the second, GBP80 the third, and GBP90 yearly for the remainder of the term. Mr. Hockin also produced evidence to show that a formal notice of distress for the tithes had been served by the [...ctor?] on Mr. FRANCIS, the present occupier of the estate. For the defence, Mr. Bennallack submitted that the act under which recovery was sought, was not retrospective in its operation; it received the royal assent on the 24th of July, and tithes to the previous lst of July were not recoverable by it. The only sum recoverable was that accruing after the act, and even that could not be sued for until the 1st of January, tithes being made payable by the commutation act, on the 1st of January and the 1st of July. The Judge said in this case all that was claimed was the amount due to the 1st of July; there was no claim for the quarter ending at Michaelmas. The act received the royal assent on the 24th of July, and its words were, that if any occupying tenant shall quit, leaving unpaid any tithe rent-charge, &c. Those words "shall quit" he thought showed the act to apply to the present case, defendant not having quitted till Michaelmas, whereas the act came into operation on the 24th of July; the verdict would therefore be for the plaintiff. Mr. Hockin applied for costs and for immediate execution; defendant, he said, had sold a large farm stock, and had now the means of paying the money. He then put questions to defendant, who stated that he has no farm at present, but lives with his friends, sometimes at one house, and sometimes at another. The Judge asked defendant when he would pay the money, to which he replied not until the next court. The Judge then granted costs, and ordered payment of the claim to be made on the 13th instant. WILLIAM BIRRELL v. JOHN and THOMAS McFADYEAN - Mr. CHILCOTT appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. STOKES for defendants. This was an action for recovery of GBP36, balance alleged to be due to the plaintiff for salary, as the servant and traveller of the defendants, who are Scotsmen carrying on business at Truro, and in other parts of the county. The case lasted a considerable time, and it would be useless to enter into its minute particulars, but the following appeared to be the main facts of the evidence. The plaintiff was examined, and stated that his agreement with the defendants was that he should be paid GBP25 per annum; and that he had regularly attended to his duty, but had recently been discharged by peremptory notice of the defendants, without payment of his salary, and without any means being afforded him of returning to his own country. On cross-examination by Mr. STOKES, he admitted that his masters had charged him with having neglected to account for sales of goods, and monies received by him to a considerable amount; but said he had saved monies from the weekly allowances made to him for travelling expenses, and it was with those savings that he had made purchases of books, minerals, and other articles. He denied having failed to account to his masters; but admitted that in March last they had signed a written agreement with him, which dated back to April 1849, and by which he became bound to serve them for three years at a salary of GBP25 per year, to be paid at the end of the three years. He denied that his masters had offered to refer the question of accounts to any person accustomed to the trade, and he also denied that they had offered to give a week to him to go into the accounts, to ascertain whether they were correct or not. He stated that during the first year of his service, his accounts were found to be quite correct. For the defence, the Messrs. McFadden were both examined, and stated that on examining the books showing the deliveries of goods to the plaintiff, and his account of the mode in which they had been disposed of, it appeared that on the 25th of January last, plaintiff was deficient in cash to the amount of GBP17. 4s. and to October last, there was a further deficiency of GBP28. 8s. 3d. It appeared however, that these items of deficiency did not correspond with the particulars of set-off delivered by defendants in the case, which set-off showed a much smaller deficiency. Defendants further stated that they had since ascertained, by going round to the customers and comparing their receipts with the accounts plaintiff had rendered to defendants, that several sums appeared in the receipts which were not credited in the plaintiff's accounts. In particular, as regarded a customer named SEYMOUR, the sum of five shillings had been received by plaintiff which he had not credited, and for which he had afterwards gone with one of the defendants to her and demanded payment. The accounts of the transactions between the parties were very lengthy and complicated, and after considerable time had been consumed in the examinations of the parties, and flat contradictions given in the testimony on either side, defendants stating that they had offered to give a week to the investigation of the accounts, or to leave the same to a reference, which plaintiff persisted in denying - the Judge recommended a reference of the accounts to some person acquainted with such matters, and it was ultimately arranged that the same should be referred to Mr. WILLIAM CLYMA, of Truro. ST. AUSTELL - At this court on the 4th instant, thirty-two cases were entered. STOCKER and OTHERS v. TRUSCOTT was a trial by jury. It appears that the parties are clay merchants, and defendant had refused to pay a portion that was claimed of land money, out of which arose the present action. The case was one of difficulty, there being several points of law in the question at issue. The jury decided in favour of plaintiffs, for GBP30. 17s. 6d. Mr. BISHOP of Fowey, appeared for plaintiffs, and Messrs HODGE and HOCKIN for defendant, who gave notice of appeal. FALMOUTH - COMMITTAL FOR PERJURY - At this court held on Saturday the 6th instant, there were forty-seven cases for trial, none of which were of public interest excepting the case of HANNIBAL LYNE JOHNS v. THOMAS BOLT. Plaintiff is a colt gelder, living at Cury, near Helston, and the defendant is the hind to Messrs. FREEMAN, the granite contractors, and resides in Constantine. Mr. MOORMAN appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. BAMFIELD for defendant. The action was brought to recover GBP1. 16s. for gelding a colt, and for three visits afterwards at Main Farm, in Constantine, and which colt plaintiff said he had agreed to risk or guarantee for GBP16 at Penryn May fair, if the colt should break his legs during the operation or die within ten days therefrom. Defendant admitted he had spoken to plaintiff at Penryn May fair about gelding a colt for him, but nothing was said as to the price by either party, nor anything about risking or guaranteeing of the colt, not had he known or heard a word about risk or guarantee until some time after the operation was performed and just before the action was brought. Plaintiff declared the work was done in the forenoon, and took him about two hours, whilst defendant and two witnesses who assisted, said it was completed in about half an hour, and was all over by eight o'clock. Johns after having been to an adjoining farm, returned to where Bolt was in a field sowing carrots, when Bolt said, "what have I to pay you?" Johns replied, "I shall charge Squire Freeman a guinea." Bolt said, "no, the usual price in the neighbourhood is 2s. 6d., but as you had no refreshment in the house here's 6d. more making 3s." Johns still persisted in his charge of 21s., and to get rid of him Bolt offered him 5s., which he refused saying, "I shall take the law of you if you do not pay me." Three workmen who were in the field at the time and heard what passed, stated in evidence that the money was tendered, and that Johns mentioned nothing about risk or guarantee. Mrs. Bolt, (defendant's wife) said that Johns came to her at the farm house after leaving Bolt in the field, and told her. "I have been to Mr. Bolt for my money and he won't pay me but 5s. for what I have done, when my charge is a guinea." Twelve witnesses were subpoenaed in the cause, and after some of them had been examined, his Honor said perjury had evidently been committed, and requested Johns to be placed in the witness box again, and stating that notes would be taken of what he said, he asked him if on the day of the operation, or at any other period before the 31st of May, he had asked for any sum or sums of money from Bolt? To this Johns answered that he had not. His Honor then asked if he had said to Bolt, at Penryn fair, anything about risking the colt for GBP16. To this he answered, that he had. After the examination of several other witnesses, who contradicted Johns in several points, his Honor said that he had determined to make an example of the first party by whom perjury was committed, and there could be no doubt but that Johns had been guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury, he should therefore commit him to take his trial at the next goal delivery for the county, giving him the opportunity of finding bail, himself in GBP50 and two sureties in GBP25 each. The necessary bail not being found, the defendant Bolt was bound over to prosecute at the next assizes, and the warrant of committal was placed in the hands of the high bailiff, and in the course of the evening, prisoner was handed over to the contractor for conveyance to Bodmin gaol. HELSTON - At this Court on Monday last, amongst others the following cases were tried:- SAMPSON NICHOLLS, v. JAMES BISHOP and MICHAEL SAUNDERS. (In replevin) This case was heard at the last court, of which we gave a full report. Two points of law having been reserved for argument, - first, that there was no fixed rent, and secondly, that the distress on the plaintiff Nicholls under the notice was illegal. Mr. ROGERS and Mr. PLOMER appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. HILL for the defendant. His Honor, after hearing the arguments of the learned advocates on the points reserved, gave a verdict for the defendants. JAMES ROSKRUGE, v JAMES CADDY and EDWARD CROSSMAN - Distress for Rent - The damages in this case were laid at GBP42. 14s. 6d., the particulars of the plaintiff's demand charged the defendants with having made an excessive distress, with charging more than reasonable costs and expenses for the distress, and for selling beasts of the plough, there being other goods and chattels on the farm liable to be distrained, and sufficient to meet the amount of rent due. Mr. PLOMER and Mr. HILL appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. ROGERS and Mr. PASSINGHAM, for defendants. The case excited considerable interest. Several witnesses were examined and from their evidence it appeared, that on the 24th of September, 1849, the plaintiff took of Captain CADDY, the defendant, the farms of Kestle and Polhore, in the parish of Manaccan, under the following agreement:- "Falmouth, 24th September, 1849, - I hereby agree to accept Mr. JAMES ROSKRUGE, as my tenant on Kestle Wartha and Polhore, for seven years, from the 29th day of September instant, paying me for the first year at the rate of GBP80, the following years to be dependent on the rise or fall of the price of corn. James Caddy. "-The plaintiff entered on the estate and still resides there. In July last plaintiff had some idea of emigrating, and arranged with Captain Caddy to quite the estate at Michaelmas last. Captain Caddy obtained a tenant, but Mr. Roskruge altered his mind, and interviews took place between them, for the purpose of fixing the amount of rent for the future. They could not agree and on the 29th of August last, Capt. Caddy's solicitor sent the defendant Crossman, to distrain for GBP88, rent due on the 24th of June, 1851. Crossman seized about GBP145 worth of sheep, bullocks, and horses, and continued in possession of them until the day of sale. During this time a negotiation took place between Mr. Roskruge's friends and Mr. PASSINGHAM, with the view to an amicable arrangement, but no terms were come to and on the 4th of September, last, Mr. GREENWOOD, auctioneer, of Truro, attended at Kestle, and sold the following cattle:- Fifteen sheep for GBP18. 7s. 6d.; two oxen for GBP20; one cow for GBP4. 7s.; total GBP42. 14s. 6d. This amount was appropriated thus:- GBP28 for rent, and GBP14. 14s. for costs of the distress. It appeared that only GBP28 could have been distrained for, as the plaintiff was a yearly tenant under the agreement. At the time the distress was levied there was a considerable amount of property which might have been distrained, besides the working oxen and sheep. Mr. Rogers addressed the jury on behalf of the defendants, contending that the plaintiff could have suffered but very small damage, as the cattle were taken at the time of the year when they were of little service to the plaintiff in his farming pursuits. The learned Judge with his usual ability, carefully summed up the facts of the case bearing on the particular charges of complaint in the plaintiff's particulars, and told the jury that if they were satisfied sufficient property was on the estate liable to be distrained, independent of the sheep and beasts of the plough, they would have to find a verdict for the plaintiff for GBP38. 7s. 6d., the amount for which they were sold, and he considered there were charges in the distress which the tenant could not be fairly called on to pay, and it would be for them to consider if the plaintiff was entitled to the full amount he claimed. The jury, after a short deliberation found a verdict for plaintiff for GBP42. 14s. 6d. PENZANCE - Mr. HENRY MURRAY, of Liskeard, has been appointed High Bailiff of the Penzance County Court.

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 12th December, 1851. Part One POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS - A requisition having been numerously and very respectably signed by the inhabitants of Camelford, Boscastle, and its vicinity, addressed to the Rev. ROGER BIRD, mayor of Camelford, a public meeting was held in the Town-hall, on Friday the 5rh instant, for the purpose of memorialising the Post-Master-General, to alter the present badly conducted and inconvenient postal arrangements for the northern part of the county. A very spirited memorial was adopted, with a request that the mayor sign it on behalf of the meeting, and forward it to the Postmaster-General. BODMIN - A Chase - On Friday last, an officer from London, and Mr. TAPSON, a sheriff's officer from Launceston, arrived at Bodmin in charge of a debtor whom they had arrested at Probus. They put him into the Garland Ox Inn for the purpose of getting some breakfast; and, while there, the debtor asked for a sheet of paper to write a letter. The three were then sitting at a table near the window; but the debtor, saying he found the light too strong, retired to another table near the door, and in a minute, seeing the officers in close conversation, darted out, shut the door after him, and rushed into the street. The officers, both somewhat elderly men, immediately gave chase, accompanied by all who happened to be in the inn crying "Stop thief! Catch him! Hold Him!" at the top of their voices, and to the immense delight of the whole neighbourhood. Nobody, however, for some time did stop him; but, on the contrary, those who happened to be in his way, immediately got out of it, - some looking on in great glee, others in blank amazement, - and horses were being caparisoned in order to follow, when just as he was gaining the open country, he was seized by a man called JAGO, and the hand cuffs having been put on him, was conveyed to prison. Mrs. KELYNACK - A spirited and life-like lithographic print of this old Cornish fisherwoman has been executed by Brandard, and published by Colnaghi, of London. MARAZION - A school-room for boys, with a master's dwelling house, built at the sole expense of lady MARY COLE, as a memorial of her husband, Sir CHRISTOPHER COLE, R.N., K.C.B., has lately been opened for the instruction of the boys of this town, of which Sir Christopher Cole was a native. The school room is thirty-six feet long by eighteen wide, and accommodates 100 scholars; class room twelve feet by twelve; kitchen twelve feet by twelve; with wash house, three bedrooms, court yard and other offices. The walls are built of elvin, in random courses with granite dressings. The cost has been about GBP800. The builders were Messrs. MAY, of Devonport; and the architect Mr. J. P. ST. AUBYN, of London. BITE OF A RATTLESNAKE - A correspondent sends us the following extract from a letter he has received from Mexico:- "A Cornish gentleman by the name of HOCKIN, who has been for many years director of the Zacatecas Mint in Mexico, and is fond of shooting, whilst out the other day with his gun, was bitten by a Rattlesnake, the result of which is certain death, if a remedy be not instantly applied. Hockin, in the absence of medical aid, heroically cut the wounded part out with a knife, and filled the hole, in the left, three times with gunpowder, blowing it off each time, and I understand it saved his life. SHEEP STEALING - Early on Sunday morning last, some person entered a field belonging to Mr. RICHARD EDMONDS, Treswithan, near Camborne, and stole a fat sheep. It is evident the sheep was killed in the field, traces of blood having been discovered. FOWL STEALING - On Saturday night last, upwards of thirty fowls were stolen from the premises of Mr. ROWE, of Cargoll farm, in Newlyn east. Suspicion fell upon a lander and a carpenter employed at East Wheal Rose mine. The house of one of those parties was searched, and a number of dead fowls, fowl pasties &c., were found. They were afterwards both apprehended for the offence. ACCIDENTS - About ten days since, the brig "Eagle," MABLEY master, from Quebec, was discharging her cargo at Padstow, when the wrench gave way, and a young man named Mabley, was considerably injured; another called OLIVER, had three fingers cut off, his collar bone put out, and three ribs broken, but they are now in a way of recovery. GUN ACCIDENT - To the shop of Mr. SEARLE, blacksmith, Fowey, a fowling-piece was brought for repair, and having snapped it and tried the barrel, the ramrod being beneath the muzzle, it was considered free from charge. The touchhole being pricked and a cap put on, the gun was snapped. JAGO, Mr. Searle's journeyman, held his hand a short distance from the muzzle to feel the force of the wind from the cap, but unfortunately the load, which had not been discovered, (the touchhole being foul and the ramrod short,) exploded, and shot off the fore and middle fingers, besides shattering his right hand. CORONERS' INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held before Mr. JOHN CARLYON county coroner, during the past week. - On Friday last, at Rail Stamps, in the parish of Illogan, on the body of DOROTHY HARRIS, a child six years old, who accidentally caught her clothes on fire on the previous Wednesday, and was so dreadfully burnt that before her elder sister, who was present, could extinguish the flames that she died the following day. Verdict, "accidental death." On Saturday last, at Lanner, in the parish of Gwennap, on the body of the male infant child of JOSEPH COLLINS, found dead in bed on its mother's arm. Verdict, "visitation of God." The following inquests have been held before Mr. HICHENS, county coroner:- On the 4th inst., at Camborne, on the body of WILLIAM WEBSTER, aged 32 years, who being a labourer in Stray Park Mine, in that parish, was on the preceding day at the 96-fathoms level in the engine shaft, standing on a plank across the shaft, and about to drive some nails into a piece of timber there, when the plank on which he stood slipped, and he fell from that level to the 170 fathoms, and received such injury to his head as to cause immediate death. Verdict, "accidental death." On Monday last, in the parish of Buryan, on the body of ANN MADDERN, the younger, aged 36 years. The deceased lived with her parents, and attended to the household affairs, and occasionally assisted in the outdoor work on her father's farm. She was a strong, robust person, but subject to fits, which would render her helpless without a moment's warning. On Saturday last, having taken her breakfast, she left the house without saying where she was going, and being absent longer than her mother thought she has occasion to be, she went to seek for her and supposing that she might have gone to the turf-rick for fuel she went round the dwelling-house in that direction, and at the back of the house she found her lying by the side of a mud pool, with her head in the pool and her mouth and face under water. Her mother pulled her out, but she was dead, and though means were used to endeavour to resuscitate her, they were without effect. Verdict, "accidental death." The following inquest has been held before Mr. GILBERT HAMLEY, deputy coroner:- On the 9th inst., in the parish of St. Austell, on the bodies of WILLIAM and ELIZABETH WELLINGTON, two children who died after a few hours illness. Both having been fine healthy children, and there being a rumour that the children had died from poison, the coroner issued a warrant to Mr. VAWDREY, surgeon to make a post mortem examination of one of the bodies. It appeared that both children had complained of violent pain in the head, and vomited a good deal. Mr. Vawdrey stated that the children had been suffering from the prevailing epidemic - that fever had set in with considerable violence. There was an absence of everything in the stomach that could be an indication that anything improper had been taken. There was no poisonous substance, nor the slightest evidence that any had been there. Judging from the symptoms stated by the father, the other child died from the same cause. The jury in each case returned a verdict of "death from natural causes;" and, in consequence of some reports in the neighbourhood, appended to their verdict, that they were satisfied that nothing improper had been taken in the stomach. The jury after the inquest told Mr. GELDARD, chemist, at St. Austell, that they thought he had acted very properly in doing his utmost to advise the father at once to call in the assistance of a medical man. COURT OF EXCHEQUER - Friday December 5. - ISAAC v. WYLD - This was a motion for a writ of prohibition to the judge of the County Court of Cornwall. The action had been brought for GBP50, but it appeared that the total debt was GBP96. By the County Courts Acts a suitor may not divide his claim in order to bring it within the jurisdiction of the court; but in case his claim shall amount to more than GBP50 he can only sue for that sum, and the judgment of the court is a full discharge for the whole debt. The question, however, had arisen as to at what stage of the proceedings the disclaimer of the excess must be given? In the present case it had been given during the trial, and a minute of it had been entered upon the books of the court. Mr. BARON PARKE said that undoubtedly the fairest way would be that the plaintiff's abandonment of the excess over the GBP50 should appear on the face of the summons or particulars, in order that the defendant might, if he thought fit, at once acquiesce in the demand, and not to put to the expense of contesting it. The language of 63rd section, however, contained no express provision on the subject; and the court, therefore, thought the rule must be discharged; but it would certainly be better if the County Court judges, under the powers of the Act 12 and 13 Vic., chap. 101, would make a rule requiring the abandonment to be entered on the face of the summons. Rule discharged. EXETER DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY - Thursday December 4. - Re ROBERT ALLEN of Falmouth and Truro. This was a meeting for the choice of Assignees. The bankrupt was a partner with his brother in a brewery and wine business at Falmouth, about the end of the year 1850, the bankrupt took cellars at Truro, and commenced business as a wine, spirit, beer and porter merchant, going there frequently by day to superintend its management, and generally returning to Falmouth in the evening. It, however, sometimes happened that he remained at Truro over night, when he slept at the Red Lion Hotel, kept by Mr. JOHN LENDERYOU. In the early part of April last, enough occurred to induce Mr. Lenderyou, to commence an action against the bankrupt for crim. Con. With his wife, soon after which the partnership with his brother was dissolved. The action was tried at Bodmin, in August last, and the jury gave Mr. Lenderyou and verdict with GBP350 damages. The bankrupt some weeks prior to this discontinued his business at Truro, transferred his stock to his brother, and paid off all his trade debts, except GBP50 or GBP60. Messrs. BIAS and BARCLAY, of London, whose debt of GBP50 would not, in the course of trade, be due until February or March next, sued out this fiat, and Mr. Allen now availed himself of his protection to defeat the judgment obtained against him by Mr. Lenderyou, for whom Mr. STOGDON appeared to oppose, and he subjected the bankrupt to a very rigid examination. In reply to these questions, the bankrupt said :- He carried on business in partnership with his brother George at Falmouth, from October or November 1843, until last June, when the approaching trial at Bodmin was one of the reasons for the dissolution. George undertook to pay all the debts. The partnership was insolvent by about GBP700, and in consideration of a balance owning to him George undertook his share of that loss. The balance George owed him was about GBP200, being the amount of money [less?] drawn out of the concern than George had. His brother was very competent to conduct the business, but was sometimes poorly; when not ill, he regularly attended the counting house and kept the books. Stock was taken in January, 1850, and the balance against the firm was then GBP300 or GBP400. About the end of 1850 he (bankrupt) determined to start a business at Truro, which was ten miles from Falmouth; took no house there, but went over in the morning and back in the evening sleeping there occasionally. Some of the stock of G. and R. ALLEN was sent over to Truro, to open the business with; the business at Truro was his own; he had GBP400 lent him by a friend in London, a Mr. CHASSEREAU; first GBP195 on an acceptance, which Mr. Chassereau's son drew by mistake upon the firm of G. and R. ALLEN, and then GBP200, for which he drew on Mr. Chassereau himself. He signed the GBP195 bill, G. and R. Allen because it was so drawn. All the money went into the bank. The business at Truro was shut up in April last, and the stock was removed to his brother's cellars at Falmouth, some in April, some in May, and the last of it in July. The spirit stock was removed in July, an account of which had been entered in the waste book. As to his present position, he was at his brother's mercy; he was George's servant, selling George's goods; they became his goods in July; they were put to his debit, and he remitted sums on his (Bankrupt's) account. His brother advised Chassereau's acceptance. Had drawn cheques since the dissolution, as his brother's agent. His debts, which had been paid off, had been paid by him under his own hand. After the dissolution there was an alteration in the banking account. Signed cheques by procuration after that. In addition to GBP254, other sums, amounting to GBP200 or GBP300, were paid into his brother's cash box, and by him paid away to creditors. Generally rode over to Truro and back on horseback. Stayed there all night sometimes at the Red Lion Hotel, kept by Mr. Lenderyou. In April some unpleasantness occurred, and Mr. Lenderyou commenced an action, which was tried at Bodmin in August and a verdict, with GBP350 damages, and costs, was given against the bankrupt. The costs amounted to GBP215, for which he had been held to bail. Had sworn positively that he had never had at any time, criminal intercourse with MARY ANN LENDERYOU and adhered to that affidavit now. Might have written the advice for Mr. Chassereau's bill in September and his brother taken it to the bank. Now owed GBP1,200 and estimated his assets at GBP50 or GBP60. The debt of Messrs. BIAS and BARCLAY was for wine. The only other trade debt was STEPHEN GREEN GBP33. 6s. 9d. for jars. Chassereau and the other creditors were paid by his brother at his (bankrupt's) request. Went to London in October and requested Bias and Barclay to make him a bankrupt. Was aware that no steps could be taken by Mr. Lenderyou on the verdict he had obtained, until November. No creditor was pressing him, except the plaintiff in the action. Bottles, jars, stock, and everything were transferred to George Allen at Falmouth. Green's account for the jars was not yet sent in. His mother was a creditor for GBP398 on a bond, which he gave her, on entering the brewery, because she was liable to pay an annuity of GBP40 to the widow of his brother William, who had previously been in partnership with George. The trade debts were only GBP50 or GBP60. Three-fourths of the goods had of Bias and Barclay were transferred to his brother. His mother lived in Falmouth and his wife and children lived with her; she kept house and he paid her for their board. Mr. Stogdon submitted that his Honor ought to refuse the bankrupt any further protection. If he had been in custody under Mr. Lenderyou's judgment his Honor would have had no power to release him; because among the excepted offences of the 112th section, was the identical offence of which he had been convicted by the verdict of a jury. There was no estate; the whole was a dishonest proceeding; it was a mere cloak, a sham to avoid the penalties which the law wisely imposed on men, who, like the bankrupt, trifled with the feelings of others, and he hoped his Honor would withdraw protection from a person who ought not any longer to enjoy liberty. His Honor thought the way in which the matter ought to come before him, was by a petition from the creditor to annul the fiat. He would grant protection until Friday, when his Honor stated that (without hearing Mr. G. W. TURNER, the bankrupt's advocate) he was of opinion that the bankrupt was certainly entitled to protection until the last day for surrender, and that, if taken into custody in the meantime, he would obtain his discharge without even an endorsement on the committal. There were several cases in point and they were all uniform. It was arranged that the petition for annulling should be considered on Wednesday next, the bankrupt being at liberty to call witnesses to support the fiat.

Hello All - I've finally completed the St. Austell Holy Trinity baptism transcriptions from 1632 to 1813, which fill in all the "holes" the database had previously, and added over 150 years. They're uploaded to the St. Austell website, and the links seem to work. So please, enjoy. Should anything be incorrect, or not work properly, please let me know. 1767 to 1812 have the LDS image numbers associated, so that you can easily find the original. Every LDS image has 2 register pages, so be sure to note which page number is associated with the information. I've also added the LDS film numbers from which the various transcriptions came on the Index page, just in case. It always amazes me how every change in clerk changed the spelling of names - Cawsantin for instance, which was probably Constantine. So be sure to check for various spellings!!! My favourite name thusfar? "Bar-net Gar-trell", accents on the second syllables. It sounds almost like "Rhett Butler".... (now you KNOW I've been transcribing too much this week!)<VBG> Best regards, Julia Julia Mosman, OPC for St.Austell,Charlestown, and Treverbyn Website at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~staustell W.

I sent this to the list two days ago and it has not appeared. Apologies if it does end up appearing twice. For the last ten years I had believed that PETER TOY who married CHRISTIAN ROBERTS on 13 OCT 1780 in Wendron was the son of PETER TOY and CATHERINE TRESSIDER who was christened on 13 DEC 1761 in Wendron. To support this, there is a burial record for a PETER TOY on 26 NOV 1829 in Wendron aged 67. Image my surprise, when going through the on line Wendron parish register, I found a burial record for PETER TOY the son of PETER AND CATHERINE on 15 Aug 1779. This would have made him around 18 years when he died. Normally, I've only seen the parents names mentioned for young children. I stand to be corrected ! According to the IGI there are six children named as being of Peter and Catherine:- Catherine 18 Sep 1754 in Helston (born in Wendron) Elizabeth 7 Nov 1756 in Wendron Ann 23 Dec 1759 in Wendron Peter 13 Dec 1761 in Wendron Jone 30 Dec 1764 in Constantine John 27 Oct 1767 in Constantine I am now wondering whether I have the correct Peter Toy and the one that was buried in 1779 was from another family called Peter and Catherine or maybe it was written down wrong in the register. However, I can found no other marriage entry for a Peter and Catherine. If the information is correct and the Peter that was buried was in deed the son of Peter and Catherine Tressider, who was the Peter who married Christian Roberts ? Any help and advice would be appreciated.

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 5th December, 1851. APPOINTMENT OF CAPTAIN DAVIES, R. N. - We understand that Captain Davies, R.N., late inspecting commander of the coast guard, Penzance, has just received the appointment of chief constable of the Cambridgeshire rural police. The appointment took place at an adjourned county sessions held a few days ago for the purpose, when Captain Davies was proposed by the Earl of Hardwicke, and seconded by Mr. ALEXANDER COTTON. There were, we understand, thirty-five candidates for the appointment; which is one of considerable responsibility, and of a lucrative character. ARBITRATION - ELLIOTT v. ROBERTS - In this case Mr. W. ELLIOTT of March, in the parish of Landulph, was the plaintiff, and Mr. R. ROBERTS also of Landulph, the defendant. The estates of those two gentlemen are immediately adjoining each other, and the principal subject in dispute is the right to a watercourse which passes through the defendant's land and enters that of the plaintiff. The case was to have been heard at the assizes, but by the consent of both parties was referred to the arbitration of Messrs. B. SNELL, (Wayton), W. SNELL, (Ashton), and J. WIDDICOMBE, (Ugborough), and those gentlemen fixed Friday last for hearing the evidence and examining the locus in quo. Mr. W. LAVERS was engaged as attorney for Mr. Elliott, and Mr. JOHN BEER on behalf of Mr. Roberts. Mr. Lavers in consequence of sudden illness on Thursday night, was unable to attend or procure a substitute. Mr. Beer, however, as well as the witnesses on both sides were in attendance. After some discussion between Mr. Elliott and Mr. Roberts, they agreed to go into the case before the arbitrators without an attorney on either side, so that neither party might be in that respect in a more advantageous position than the other, and the parties accordingly adjourned, after inspecting the premises in dispute, to the inn, kept by Mr. PRIDEAUX, at Cargreen for that purpose, but a misunderstanding arising as to the arrangement which had been made - Mr. Elliott believing that it was not intended he should be compelled to examine the witnesses himself - which he said, his age and slight knowledge of the matter would prevent his doing - but that his son, Mr. EUSTACE ELLIOTT, would be permitted to do it for him; Mr. Roberts on the contrary expressing his belief that the principals alone in the absence of professional assistance on either side should be allowed to act as advocates, the hearing was postponed until Monday the 22nd of December instant, to enable both parties to be professionally assisted. By arrangement between Mr. Elliott and Mr. Roberts, a dinner was provided for the arbitrators, witnesses, &c., of which about twenty-five partook, Lieut. E. Elliott, in the absence of Mr. W. Elliott, his father, occupied the chair, and Mr. R. Roberts, the vice-chair. The dinner was served up in very good style by Mr. and Mrs. Prideaux. Shortly after the removal of the cloth, Mr. Elliott, sen., made his appearance, and all appeared unanimous in a desire to make the evening one of conviviality and harmony. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY - On Thursday, JOHN LUSCOMBE, miller, Higher Salter Mill, Landulph, came up for his last examination at the Bankruptcy Court, Plymouth. Some bill transactions were referred to, and his Honor said he saw no reason why he should not pass his last examination. His certificate is to be filed on December 18th. ST AUSTELL PETTY SESSIONS - These sessions took place in the Town-Hall, St. Austell, on Tuesday last, when there was only three cases for trial. JOHN VERRAN, and SAMUEL CUNDY, of St. Stephens, were charged by the police with leaving their wagons in the road. Cundy's being the first offence, he was fined 1s. and costs; and Verran was fined 5s. and costs. JOHN STEPHENS, of Mouth Charles, was charged by Mr. C. B. G. SAWLE, with riding on the shafts of his waggon, and was fined 10s. and costs. TRURO POLICE - On Thursday evening, the 27th ult., JANE CHYNOWETH, an inmate of the Probus workhouse, was seen by another inmate to go into the bedroom of Mr. NICHOLLS, the master of the house. She asked her on her return what she had been doing in the bed-room to which Chynoweth made no reply. On the following morning she absconded from the house, and the circumstance of her having been in the bed-room being spoken of, Mr. Nicholls went to examine, and on searching found that three sovereigns had been taken from a box in the room. He went in pursuit of her to Truro, and gave information at the police station, and with the assistance of police constable HARE she was found at Mrs. PASCOE's second-hand clothes shop in Kenwyn-street, where for a sovereign she had purchased a complete suit of clothes for herself. The policeman took possession of the clothes, and had the sovereign returned to him by Mrs. Pascoe, and on asking the prisoner what she had done with the rest of the money she took from her pocket two sovereigns. On Friday last she was charged with the robbery before the Mayor, and was committed for trial at the next quarter sessions. ST. AUSTELL POLICE - On Saturday last, ELLEN CUNDY and MARY ANN TREMAIN, were charged, before Mr. E. COODE, jun., with stealing 9s. from a corporal of the Scotch Fusilier Guards, engaged in recruiting at St. Austell. The charge being fully proved, they were committed for trial at the ensuing sessions. CORONERS' INQUESTS - The following inquest was held on Tuesday last, at Newquay, before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner, on the body of Mrs. LLEWELLYN, THE WIFE OF Mr. DAVID LLEWELLYN, chief boatman in the Preventive Service, at Newquay, who dropped down and died in a most sudden and unexpected manner on Monday last. Verdict apoplexy. The following inquests have been held before Mr. GILBERT HAMLEY, deputy county coroner:- On the 26th ult., at St. Austell, on view of the body of FRANCIS GEACH, a child six months old, who was found dead in bed. It appeared that deceased went to bed with his mother about eight o'clock on the previous evening apparently well; it sucked several times during the night, but at five in the morning, the mother awaking, found the child dead. A woman, called BARRETT, who occupied the adjoining room, stated that she had heard the child cry in the night, and that the mother suckled it, and it went to sleep again. The mother called her as soon as she found the child was dead. One of the jury would not, for a long time, consent to come to a verdict unless the body was examined by a medical man, but the coroner and the rest of the jury did not think it necessary to put the county to that expense. The witnesses who had been examined not having varied in their statements, and there being no external marks on the body, eventually a verdict of "found dead" was returned. It transpired at the inquest that no less than fifteen men, women, and children slept in the room in which the child died, and the adjoining one. On the following day at Quethiock, on the body of ELIZABETH RICKARD, who came down stairs on the preceding morning about ten o'clock, complaining of great difficulty in breathing. She sat down near the fire and took up the bellows to blow the fire, when she fell back and died instantly. The poor woman had been subject to asthma for some time. Verdict, "visitation of God." EXTRACT FROM THE HOME COMPANION - A Weekly Magazine of the amusing and the useful; - At the present time when the discoveries of gold in California and Australia are exciting so much attention, the above "Notes on the gold districts" will doubtless be read with great interest. Considering the size of the work, which is printed in a pamphlet form, a great amount of information is condensed into it, relative to the gold regions of California, New Holland, Russia, Virginia, and South America; and the localities of the gold deposits are shown on Maps, whereon the auriferous districts in the countries of the world where they occur, are coloured yellow. It appears from the information given, that in California mining for gold is expected to be more productive than it has been in any other part of the world, as many of the quartz veins in that country are found to be rich in the metal. The geological formation of the country belongs to the primary series, and the chief rocks are granite and quartz. In so far the resemblance in general between California and the other gold-yielding countries is complete; but whereas, in most other cases gold mining is unproductive, the veins when found, however widely spread about, and however much they may hold as a whole, being unproductive for working in detail, yet, in California the rocks are ascertained to be a fertile source of metal. It is peculiar to California, that the process of quartz-crushing has been introduced and carried out on a large scale; and it has this advantage, that as it requires large and expensive machinery, capitalists can take part in it, though the limit of their profits is necessarily the tribute or portion at which the miner will supply the quartz rock, unless as in the case of the great companies, the quartz belong to the proprietors, when the profits made are enormous, and almost beyond belief. The success of these quartz operations has turned the attention of gold-finders in another direction, and now, where gold-stream works are discovered, researches are likewise made for gold-bearing rocks in the neighbourhood. Some of the chief quartz workings are in Nevada and Mariposa counties, but the best known are on the rancho or large estate bought by Colonel FREMONT from Alvarado, the Mexican governor. They are those of Mariposa, Agua Fria, Nonveau Monde, West Mariposa, and Ave Maria; the first leased by an American company, the third by a French, and the others by English companies. Some of the quartz has been assayed for GBP7,000 in the ton of rock. A Mariposa specimen was in the Great Exhibition. The Agua Fria mine, the lease of which was granted by the Hon. Colonel Fremont to Messrs. PALMER, COOK, and CO., bankers, of San Francisco, is held by an English Company. This property is situated on the small river of that name, which is a branch of the Mariposa, and is about eighty-five miles from the city of Stockton, to which place vessels of 400 tons can navigate, and between which and San Francisco there is almost daily communication by steam-packets. This mine was surveyed and examined by Captain W. A. JACKSON, the well known engineer, of Virginia, U.S., in October last, for which purpose openings were made by a cross-cut, of sufficient depth to test the size of the vein and richness of the ore. The vein appears to be of nearly uniform thickness of from three and a half to four and a half feet, and its direction a few points to the north of east, the inclination of the vein being about forty-five degrees. Of the ore, some specimens were transmitted to the United States Mint in January 1851, and the report of the assays then made showed that 277 lbs. of ore produced 353ozs.[?] gold, value 3,222 dollars, or upwards of GBP650 sterling. In the month of May, a quantity of the quartz was brought over to this country and submitted to the inspection of the Governor of the Bank of England, under whose orders it was assayed at the Bullion Office; and the result was that the different specimens, which were of three classes, and weighed in the aggregate 24 lbs. 2 oz. 2 dwts., yielded gold to the value of GBP272. 2s. 7d. A further assay was made of a quantity of the quartz from the Agua Fria mine so recently as September, 1851, by Messrs. JOHNSON and MATTBEY, of Hatton Garden, which their certificate shows to have been of specimens of the quartz "selected as being below the average richness of the whole mass," was this a weight of rock of 5lbs. 4oz. 18 dwts., yielded 4[...?] 4 oz. 12 dwts. Of gold, or a value of GBP63. 1s. 10d., less the expenses of separation. STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGLAND, INDIA AND AUSTRALIA - A government advertisement for tenders for conveying mails between Singapore and Australia every alternate month, has appeared in the London papers. The difficulties which the Australian colonists will have to encounter, the sudden changes which will arise in their circumstances, and the fluctuations which will take place in their markets owing to the gold discoveries in New South Wales and the consequent influx of population, will render a rapid communication between England and Australia more than ever necessary. It is most important to notice that the government had decided on the southern route to Australia from Singapore. A mail route through Torres Straits will, therefore, not be adopted; and the whole of South-Western and Southern Australia will be materially benefited by this arrangement. According to the terms of the advertisement the parties tendering to convey the mails between Singapore and Australia must also undertake to establish a fortnightly communication between this country and the Mediterranean, India, and China. It appears, then, that at length the highly important scheme of an overland communication with India and China twice a month is about to be established. It will be seen that this mail scheme contemplated by the government is almost identical with the one which the Peninsular and Oriental Company offered some time since to carry out without any expense to the country, and which they were prevented from doing by the East India Company insisting on conveying in their own ships the Bombay mails. As Bombay is not mentioned in the advertisement, it would appear that the East India Company have not given way to the government on the Bombay mail question. Of course when the fortnightly communication with India and China is established the East India Company's line of mail steamers on the Red Sea will no longer be necessary, and the government mail steamers between Malta and Alexandria will be removed. To carry out the mail scheme contemplated in the advertisement, viz., a fortnightly communication with India and China and a communication every other month with Australia, will require a fleet of twenty steamers of the largest class.

I am trying to locate information about the GARLAND family living near Redruth between 1889 and 1921. father John James GARLAND mother Mary Emma Orchard son William Henry GARLAND wife Annie RICHARDS 1st daughter Audrey GARLAND, b. 13 Aug 1913, Iron River, Michigan, USA 2nd daughter Edith Kathleen GARLAND PAINTER, b. 4 Jan 1915, Lower Lady Farm, near Redruth? in Cornwall for sure Mrs. Painter is still living and has been able to supply much of this information, but does not know much about Cornwall some ninety years ago, except Pasties. Thanks, Tom Tregoning

A friend found this website and forwarded it to me, quite a few Cornish names http://website.lineone.net/~remosliema/invincible.htm Cheers Julie The Camborne Girl
