Sorry, but it seems that I can't send messages to the Lists anymore starting with "weekly newspaper"; they keep "bouncing". So am back to trying "West Briton". Let's hope it comes through now. Julia From: jwmos99@msn.com To: cornish@rootsweb.com; cornish-gen@rootsweb.com Subject: weekly newspaper, West Briton, 12 Sep 1851 - County Courts, statistics of Cornwall Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:18:53 -0500 WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER 12 SEPTEMBER 1851 - County Courts & VERRAN v. CAMPLIN - Mr. Chilcott for plaintiff, and Mr. Hockin for defendant. The plaintiff was CAPTAIN WILLIAM HENRY VERRAN, and the defendant was MR. THOMAS CAMPLIN, of London. Plaintiff was the captain and manager of East Wheal Fortune Mine, in the neighbourhood of Bissoe, and sued the defendant, as an adventurer in that mine, for GBP 50, which plaintiff alleged was due to him for salary, for money he had paid on account of the mine, for some supplied, and for expenses of his journey to London to see the directors and endeavour to get the matter settled. Mr. Chilcott produced the cost-book, in which defendant's name appeared as an adventurer; it was signed in three places. He also produced a letter from defendant to plaintiff, in reference to the mine. It appeared that the mine was stopped in consequence of the failure of the purser, Mr. CARY, of London, who was a large shareholder. On that occurring and plaintiff going to London to see some of the adventurers, he saw defendant, Camplin, write a cheque, and he also received from him his address where to call on him the next day. From these instances he said he was enabled to swear to defendant's handwriting in the letter produced as evidence. Plaintiff had written to defendant, and received the letter in question in reply. Further to show defendant's connexion with the mine, MR. CHILCOTT called a MRS. CARBIS, who lives at Cross-lanes, near Chacewater. She stated that in August last two gentlemen called at her house and asked the way to East Wheal Fortune. She did not know who they were, but she said one of them talked to her about the mine, and said he had thirty shares in it. Now on referring to the cost-book, it was found that defendant Camplin had at that time thirty shares in the mine, and that no other adventurer had that number. It appeared that Mrs. Carbis conducted the two gentlemen to the house of a MRS. FRANCIS, whose husband was an agent in East Wheal Fortune. Mrs. Francis said she knew one of the gentlemen was CAPTAIN RABEY, and she heard him address the other as Mr. Camplin. The captain's amount of salary was proved by the cost-book, it being six guineas per month, and the other payments sued for, he swore to himself. Mr. HOCKIN, for defendant, contended that the evidence was not sufficient to show that the Mr. Camplin who was sued, was the same whose name appeared on the cost-book, or who was concerned with the mine. He suggested also that there might be collusion between the purser and the plaintiff, who might possibly wish to help him. Mr. Hockin also put in two letters, with the view of showing that plaintiff had not sued for the right amount. His Honor gave judgment for the plaintiff, for GBP 35.16s., observing that he could not allow plaintiff for the expense of his journey to London, that having been undertaken partly for his own benefit. The case lasted several hours. The court rose at half-past nine o'clock. PENZANCE - The monthly sittings of this court were held on Tuesday and Wednesday last. The list contained thirty-eight cases, including two adjourned cases from the last court. The sums claimed were chiefly of small amount, and most of the trials were devoid of public interest. COULSON and another v. WRIGHT and RICHARDS - The amount claimed in this case was GBP 2.13s.2d. for two pieces of Quebec red pine, supplied in September, 1846. Mr. Davies for the plaintiff, and Mr. Roscorla for the defendant Wright. The real question at issue was which of the defendants was the party liable to pay the plaintiff's claim. In 1846, Wright contracted with Richards, the second defendant, a respectable builder of Buryan, for the erection of a shop and premises in Paul, for GBP 73.15s. A contract with specifications was written; Wright was to provide certain materials, including "shop lintels." The pieces of pine were needed for the shop window. Richards stated he applied to Wright for an order to get them, and Wright told him to get them from either Messrs. Batten or Messrs. Coulson. He did so, and charged them to Wright. NICHOLAS UREN corroborated Richards's evidence. Mr. Wright contended the pieces of pine were used as "girders," over the shop windows, and did not qualify as "lintels." Eventually his Honor solved the difficulties by directing the name of Richards to be stricken out, and a verdict to be entered against Wright alone for the amount claimed. FRIGGENS v. LAWRY - The plaintiff claimed the sum of GBP 4 as a balance of rent due for a farm at Bojewyan, in St. Just in Penwith. The defendant in reply stated that the plaintiff had agreed to make some rent abatements and she did not anticipate any claim for any sum beyond what she had already paid. Plaintiff admitted he had agreed to make some abatement, but stated the defendant had not farmed the land properly, and consequently he did not feel justified in making an allowance. His Honor observed that the plaintiff had made an agreement to make some abatement and until very recently he had no intention of making for the arrears. Verdict for defendant. BIRCH v. NASH - The plaintiff resides in Penzance. Defendant is the landlord of the Nelson Tavern, in Bristol. The action was brought for recovery of GBP 3.18s. a balance due for the board and lodging of the defendant's daughter. There was no defence - an order was made for payment of the amount on the 13th instant. J. GETLEY v. T. WEAVER -The amount claimed was GBP 24.15s., which was paid into the court office on the morning of the court day, too late to apprise the plaintiff of the circumstance, and to prevent his sending his witness to Penzance. His Honor allowed the witness's expenses. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR STATISTICS OF CORNWALL (No. 35) SIR - After the parish of Wendron, we come to the parishes in the district of Meneage, and first take- GUNWALLOE - Near the cliff, about half a mile southward of the church, there are four barrows, diameters 55, 40, 40, and 25 feet. CURY - Near Polwyn are remains of a circular entrenchment, about three quarters of an acre. About a quarter of a mile W.S. W. of "Dry Tree" is a barrow, diameter 85 feet, and further W.S.W. about a quarter of a mile, are three barrows, diameters 80, 70, and 60 feet. MULLION - About three quarters of a mile N.E. of Penhale are three barrows at some distance from each other. Thre quarters of a mile east of Clabar garden, there is a barrow, diameter 65 feet. Half a mile S.S. W. of the windmill, is a barrow, diameter ... feet, the summit of which is sunk down, as if there had been a hollow place which had given way. LANDEWEDNACK - On the western side of the windmill, are two barrows, diameters 65 and 45 feet, one of them is partly destroyed. About a quarter of a mile N.W. of the church, are the remains of a circular enclosure, which may probably have been a plain-an-gwarry. RUAN MAJOR - A little southward of the church are the remains of a round enclosure; probably a plain-an-gwarry. About a half mile west of the last mentioned, is a barrow, diameter 55 feet; S.E. of which, about a quarter of a mile, is another barrow, diameter 65 feet. About a mile west of Trelan in St. Keverne, are three barrows of Goonhilly Downs. RUAN MINOR - I have seen nothing in this parish. ST. KEVERNE - About a mile and a half west of the Black Head, is "Carrack Loos," a promontory entrenchment, about three acres, single bank and ditch extending from sea to sea, about 65 fathoms long. At half a mile south is Coverack, is Chynal's Point, which has also a promontory entrenchment about four acres. The ditch is about 60 fathoms from sea to sea. In the enclosures S.W. of Arrowan Downs, is a barrow, diameter 85 feet; there is another barrow in the enclosures a little south of the Downs, diameter 65 feet; and on the downs is another diameter 40 feet. About half a mile N.W. of Polcoverack is a barrow, diameter 65 feet. On Goonhilly Downs, about a mile west of Trelan, are three barrows. On the same downs, about three quarters of a mile S.E. of Dry Tree, is a barrow, diameter 80 feet; and at a quarter of a mile east of which is another, diameter 85 feet. About a mile east of Dry Tree, and a quarter of a mile S.W. of Treraboe, is a barrow on the Downs, diameter 80 feet, N.W. of which are four barrows, diameters 85, 85, 60, and 70 feet; and a little further N.W. are two barrows, diameters 65 and 50 feet. A quarter of a mile west of Rosuick, is a barrow on the downs, diameter 55 feet. A quarter of a mile S.E. of Anhay are traces of a circular entrenchment about half an acre. About half a mile W.S. W. of Porthallow is a circular entrenchment about an acre. Near the village of Tremenheer is a high stone set up. ST. ANTHONY IN MENEAGE - Roskreeg Beacon is on the highest ground in this neighbourhood, (385 feet above the sea at low-water) and is a high-barrow, diameter 50 feet. About half a mile eastward of Roskreeg farm house are the remains of entrenchments. North-east of Lanarth, near the inner end of Gillan Creek, are traces of a circular entrenchment, about one acre. A furlong N.W. of Gillybold and near Gillan Creek are the remains of a circular fort, about one acre. The promontory of Little Dennis that projects between Helford Haven and Gillan Creek, has been fortified by an entrenchment extending from sea to sea, which cuts off about fourteen acres of the promontory. On the extremity of the top of the promontory are the remains of a more modern small, rectangular fort, with a bastion at each corner. It extends about 100 feet by 90. This little fort is probably the place taken possession of by the parliamentary army under Fairfax, at the time they were besieging Pendennis Castle; as it appears by Sprigge's "England's Recovery," published in 1647, that on the 18th of March 1645. "Wednesday, the General went to view Pendennis, and possessed Pennycome Quick" (now Falmouth); "also Dennis Fort, with twenty-six pieces of ordnance, and thirty barrels of powder, was the same day surrendered to the General, and Pensans and Saint Ives stood upon their guards against Goring's forces." At Condurrow are the traces of a large circular entrenchment, which appear to have extended over fifty or sixty acres. Borlase mentions that at this place was found twenty-four gallons of Roman brass money; the coins all somewhat smaller than our farthings. (Caer-an-dirra the lasting or enduring fort?)

North-east of Lanarth, near the inner end of Gillan Creek, are traces of a circular entrenchment, about one acre.  A furlong N.W. of Gillybold and near Gillan Creek are the remains of a circular fort, about one acre. The promontory of Little Dennis that projects between Helford Haven and Gillan Creek, has been fortified by an entrenchment extending from sea to sea, which cuts off about fourteen acres of the promontory. On the extremity of the top of the promontory are the remains of a more modern small, rectangular fort, with a bastion at each corner. It extends about 100 feet by 90. This little fort is probably the place taken possession of by the parliamentary army under Fairfax, at the time they were besieging Pendennis Castle; as it appears by Sprigge's "England's Recovery," published in 1647, that on the 18th of March 1645. "Wednesday, the General went to view Pendennis, and possessed Pennycome Quick" (now Falmouth);  "also Dennis Fort, with twenty-six pieces of ordnance, and thirty barrels of powder, was the same day surrendered to the General, and Pensans and Saint Ives stood upon their guards against Goring's forces."  At Condurrow are the traces of a large circular entrenchment, which appear to have extended over fifty or sixty acres. Borlase mentions that at this place was found twenty-four gallons of Roman brass money; the coins all somewhat smaller than our farthings. (Caer-an-dirra the lasting or enduring fort?)

Our > reporter attended that meeting, at which letters were read from some of > the surgeons in the > neighbourhood, and from MAR. cROTCH, of the hotel at Hayle, stating that > the roads were in an > unsafe condition for travelling over. A letter of similar import has since > been addressed to the Rev. W. > BROADLEY, incumbent of Carnmenellis, by MR. ANDREW, of the hotel at > Redruth. The letter is as > follows: "Hotel, Redruth, September 6th, 1851, > Rev.

On Wednesday last, MR. > HOOPER from the West Briton > office, hired of me a horse and gig to go to Carnmenellis, and I find that > my post-boy refused to > proceed the whole of the distance, in consequence of the disgraceful state > of the roads, and even > then he broke one of the springs.

I shall feel obliged if you will attend the next vestry, and > make a complaint on my behalf. By > so doing you will oblige, Rev. Sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES E. > ANDREW. > > HALLAMANNING AND CROFT GOTHAL MINES - The seventy-inch cylinder engine on > the Hallamanning > sett, in the parish of St. Hilary, was started on Saturday week, in the > presence of the chairman, several > members of the London committee, CAPT. STEPHEN LEAN, of Wheal Seton, MR. > POOL, connected > with SANDYS, VIVIAN, and Co., and a considerable number of persons.

COOKE entered Truro, with > his equestrian > procession, the proprietor driving sixteen horses in hand, and in the > evening the company performed > to a very numerous assembly, in a field at the top of Lemon-street. On the > following evening, Mr. > Cooke's establishment performed at Falmouth; and on Friday last, at > Helston, their capacious marquee > was greatly crowded with spectators, who appeared much pleased with the > entertainments. On > Saturday and Monday last, the troupe performed at Penzance, when the > attendance was very good, > particularly in the evenings, and the equestrian feats seemed to give much > satisfaction. Mr. Cooke has > announced his intention of again performing at Truro on Monday next. > > FIRE AT HELSTON - About eleven o'clock on the morning of Sunday last, a > house in Meneage street, > Helston, was discovered to be on fire; and the roof of that and two of the > adjoining houses being > thatched, they were all of them quickly on fire. The town and Norwich > Union engines were promptly > on the spot, and were most efficiently used in quelling the flames, there > being a plentiful supply of > water.

The claim was for a trifling amount, and was > remarkable only for the > strenuous manner in which the defendant's wife denied the truth of the > plaintiff's account, and for > the observations of the Judge thereon.

(He was referring to Lord Campbell's act, > entitled "an act for further > improving the administration of criminal justice.")

J. REYNALDS's > farm. The robbery was committed between eight in the morning, and one > o'clock; an entrance was > effected by taking out a pane of glass in one of the windows; and the > articles stolen were a shot-silk > gown, a shawl, loaf of bread, &c. After the robbery at Mr. Hodge's, he had > suspicion from some > circumstances, of a man called RICHARD RICHARDS, a labourer who lived at > Greenbottom, in the parish > of Kenwyn.

Wills prior to 1858 are often found at the CRO. I looked at the online index and see nothing there for anyone named Flowers. David Coppin >>> >>> Hi >>> >>> I am looking for suggestion please.

WEST BRITON and CORNWALL ADVERTISER 12 SEPTEMBER 1851 - THE LATE MR. TREMAYNE OF HELIGAN - On Sunday last, the Rev. T. J. TREVENEN, of St. Ewe, delivered a most impressive sermon to an unusually large congregation, on the death of the late lamented MR. TREMAYNE, of Heligan. The rev. gentleman's text was from 1 Thes. Iv13, "Sorrow not even as others which have no hope." The discourse was admirably adapted to the occasion, and formed an excellent opportunity of setting forth the many virtues of the deceased. On Thursday the 4th inst., the shops in St. Austell were closed throughout the day, and the minute bell was tolled from the time that the funeral of the late Mr. Tremayne left Heligan, until the solemn and affecting rites were over. On Sunday evening last, the REV. F. TODD preached in St. Austell church with reference to the death of this much lamented gentleman; a crowded congregation was present, and the impressive discourse delivered was from the 31st Psalm, and part of the 15th verse; "My time is in thy hand." In reference to the estimation in which the late Mr. Tremayne was held, a correspondent bears the following testimony. The circumstance, he states, was related to him by a solicitor of this county, now no more: After a contested election for a borough in this county, now in Schedule A, there was a petition against the return of the sitting members, who were in the interest of the Earl of Darlington. A committee of the House of Commons was appointed to try the merits of the case; Dr. Lushington was the counselor on behalf of the sitting members, and it was then a right of each to strike off a certain number of persons from the committee. When Mr. Tremayne's name was read over, my informant said, "I suppose we must strike him off." "No," said the Doctor, "let him remain; he is opposed to us in politics, but he will do dirty work for no man; he will judge the case on its merits." CORNWALL CLERGY FUND - The ninety-eighth anniversary meeting of the Governors of the Fund, established in 1755, for the relief of meritorious clergymen, their widows and children within the Archdeaconry of Cornwall, including their particulars, was holden at the Guildhall, in Bodmin, on Tuesday last, the 9th of September. There were present twenty-nine. MR. FRANCIS RODD, chairman. The sum of GBP 345.10s. was allotted to eleven applicants. The meeting recorded on the minutes their deep regret, at the loss the charity had sustained by the sudden deaths of MR. TREMAYNE and the REV. WILLIAM MOLESWORTH. HELSTON - On Wednesday , Mr. RICHARD KERBY was elected Town Councillor of this borough, in the room of his late father, MR JOHN KERBY. BOROUGH OF EAST LOOE - LIEUTENANT COLONEL BULLER ELPHINSTONE, recorder of the borough of East Looe, has appointed MR. ROBERT BISHOP, solicitor of Fowey, town-clerk of East Looe, in the place of MR. TICKELL, solicitor, retiring from practice. CAPTAIN FERRIS, R.N. - Amongst the veteran war officers removed from the active commanders list to the reserved list of captains, we notice the name of CAPTAIN THOMAS FERRIS, formerly of Truro, now resident at Penzance. This officer has seen much and hazardous service, and has, by the recent modifications of the various naval ranks, received a well-merited, though late reward. Captain Ferris received a medal with two clasps for the victory of 1805, and that of the Basque roads. The record given of Captain Ferris's career in O'Byrne's invaluable biography will show that the medal of two clasps specifies but an exceedingly small minority of the actions in which he has served. Captain Ferris is related by marriage to MISS S.E. HATFIELD, authoress of the "Wanderer of Scandinavia, or Sweden Delivered," and other works, one of which "The Fruits of Solitude," was dedicated from feelings of gratitude to the generous friend of her brother-in-law, SIR R. T. WILSON. Miss Hatfield, now MRS. ALFRED MILES, and her sister MRS. FERRIS, formerly Miss JANE ARUNDEL HATFIELD, are great-grand daughters of the late MR. WILLIAM ARUNDEL, of Trengwainton, near Penzance, and grand daughters of the late MR. WILLIAM STARMAR, of Northampton, and descendents on the paternal side from a family of the highest respectability in Yorkshire, whose estate, "Hatfield Hall," is situated near Wakefield, in that county. THE BAD ROADS IN THE DISTRICT OF CARNMENELLIS - We gave last week a report of a vestry meeting of the rate-payers of Wendron parish, which had been called to take into consideration the bad state of the roads in the neighbourhood of Carnmenellis, with a view to their repair and improvement. Our reporter attended that meeting, at which letters were read from some of the surgeons in the neighbourhood, and from MAR. cROTCH, of the hotel at Hayle, stating that the roads were in an unsafe condition for travelling over. A letter of similar import has since been addressed to the Rev. W. BROADLEY, incumbent of Carnmenellis, by MR. ANDREW, of the hotel at Redruth. The letter is as follows: "Hotel, Redruth, September 6th, 1851, Rev. Sir - You will perhaps excuse the liberty I am about to take, but I think it only necessary to name the reason, and you will I am sure overlook it. On Wednesday last, MR. HOOPER from the West Briton office, hired of me a horse and gig to go to Carnmenellis, and I find that my post-boy refused to proceed the whole of the distance, in consequence of the disgraceful state of the roads, and even then he broke one of the springs. I must beg to inform you that I shall be very unwilling to allow any of my carriages to go that road again until they are put in such repair, that I can do so without injury to my vehicles. I shall feel obliged if you will attend the next vestry, and make a complaint on my behalf. By so doing you will oblige, Rev. Sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES E. ANDREW. HALLAMANNING AND CROFT GOTHAL MINES - The seventy-inch cylinder engine on the Hallamanning sett, in the parish of St. Hilary, was started on Saturday week, in the presence of the chairman, several members of the London committee, CAPT. STEPHEN LEAN, of Wheal Seton, MR. POOL, connected with SANDYS, VIVIAN, and Co., and a considerable number of persons. The engine went to work in excellent style, and reflects credit on the makers, Sandy, Vivian, and Co., and upon the engineer who has superintended its erection. The whole of the works and buildings are executed in a substantial and superior manner, and drew forth the approval of all present. The mine has been formerly worked, and there are a number of tributers waiting for the water to subside, to enable them to explore. AN OLD REAPER - There is now living in the parish of St. Enoder, a small farmer named JOHN BASSETT, who is in his eighty-sixth year, and has been labouring in his harvest field every day since the commencement of the harvest. He cut 220 sheaves of wheat in one day with the reap hook, and another day he took the lead of four scythe men. HARVEST FAIR - This fair was held on Tuesday, and was more plentifully supplied with lean cattle than we ever remember. Prices were low, which may perhaps be partly accounted for from the uncertain state of the turnip crop. Fat beasts, of which there were not many, sold freely. COOKE'S CIRCUS - On Tuesday the 2nd instant, MR. COOKE entered Truro, with his equestrian procession, the proprietor driving sixteen horses in hand, and in the evening the company performed to a very numerous assembly, in a field at the top of Lemon-street. On the following evening, Mr. Cooke's establishment performed at Falmouth; and on Friday last, at Helston, their capacious marquee was greatly crowded with spectators, who appeared much pleased with the entertainments. On Saturday and Monday last, the troupe performed at Penzance, when the attendance was very good, particularly in the evenings, and the equestrian feats seemed to give much satisfaction. Mr. Cooke has announced his intention of again performing at Truro on Monday next. FIRE AT HELSTON - About eleven o'clock on the morning of Sunday last, a house in Meneage street, Helston, was discovered to be on fire; and the roof of that and two of the adjoining houses being thatched, they were all of them quickly on fire. The town and Norwich Union engines were promptly on the spot, and were most efficiently used in quelling the flames, there being a plentiful supply of water. The roofs continued burning nearly two hours before the fire was got under. It is supposed to have originated from a spark which must have fallen on the thatch. Only the roofs were burnt, and the inmates of the houses had sufficient time to remove all their furniture before any damage was done to it. The houses are the property of MR. CHIPMAN of Helston, and we hear they are insured. PERJURY IN COUNTY COURTS - At the Penzance County court, held on Tuesday last, the case of GREEN v. THOMAS was tried. The claim was for a trifling amount, and was remarkable only for the strenuous manner in which the defendant's wife denied the truth of the plaintiff's account, and for the observations of the Judge thereon. His Honor remarked that by an act which came into operation on the 1st instant, he was empowered to give into immediate custody, and authorize a prosecution of, any party committing perjury. (He was referring to Lord Campbell's act, entitled "an act for further improving the administration of criminal justice.") [They then printed the entire portion of the act which referred to perjury, but did not mention the case again.] PENZANCE GUILDHALL - On Friday last, WILLIAM HENRY WAKFAR, of Penzance, mason, was committed to prison for one month at hard labour, for deserting his wife and family. ELIZABETH JENKIN v. RICHARD BOASE. Both complainant and defendant reside in Madron. The defendant was summoned to shew cause why he should not contribute to the maintenance of the illegitimate child of the complainant. The evidence adduced to shew the defendant's liability was deemed very unsatisfactory, and the case was dismissed. TRURO POLICE - On Wednesday last, THOMAS COOKE, mason, of Truro, was convicted of assaulting WILLIAM DELBRIDGE of Truro, also a mason. He was fined GBP 2 with 14s. costs, and in default of payment was committed for one month to the House of Correction. SHIPPING DISASTER - On Saturday last, the schooner "Sophia," COBBLEDICK, master of Padstow, arrived at Scilly in tow of the schooner "Unity," of Looe. Whilst reaching to southward of the larboard tack that morning about one o'clock, off the Rundlestone, the "Sophia," was ran into by a large barque, running with studding sails set, which carried away the Sophia's mainmast, main topmast, main rigging, and all sails and gear attached; carried away also the larboard fore-rigging, fore-yard, top gallant yard, broke several chain plates, and shook the vessel throughout. Capt. Cobbledick hailed the barque, thinking the schooner was sinking, but they took no notice and passed on. The schooner was afterwards found to be making a considerable quantity of water. COMMITTAL FOR HOUSEBREAKING - Several houses have recently been broken into within a few miles around Truro, but the suspected offender has been at last secured, and committed to the county gaol for trial at the sessions. On the 7th of July last the house of Mr. HODGE, assistant overseer of the parish of Kea, was entered during the absence of the family. The thief broke some glass, unfastened the window, entered the house, and stole a quantity of wearing apparel. On the night of the 2nd of September, a robbery was committed at the grocer's shop of MR. THOMAS HICK, about three miles from Truro on the Redruth road. In this case also the thief gained admission by taking out a pane of glass in the back window of the house; and the articles stolen were a cheese, a pound and a half of tea, two females' caps, two canisters, and some copper coin from the till. On the same night, the house of MR. RAME, near the grocer's shop, was attempted to be entered, by taking out a square of glass from the back-window, but in this case the burglary was prevented by the barking of MR. RAME's dog. On the next day (3rd of September), the house of a widow called Ternace Groves, who lives at Pelendarvel, in the parish of Kenwyn, was broken into whilst she was at work on MR. J. REYNALDS's farm. The robbery was committed between eight in the morning, and one o'clock; an entrance was effected by taking out a pane of glass in one of the windows; and the articles stolen were a shot-silk gown, a shawl, loaf of bread, &c. After the robbery at Mr. Hodge's, he had suspicion from some circumstances, of a man called RICHARD RICHARDS, a labourer who lived at Greenbottom, in the parish of Kenwyn. He gave information to the Truro police, but Richards was no where to be found, and the police have for some time been keeping a strict look-out for him. At length it turned out that he was in MR. EVEREST's custody at Bodmin, he having been committed to the county gaol for disorderly conduct at Falmouth. On Saturday last, Richards, having been released from prison, came to Truro, and took lodgings at a man's house, called POWELL, in Castle-street, where he was very soon apprehended by policeman FITZSIMMONS, and on Monday last the charges against him were heard before DR. CARLYON at Truro. When taken into custody, he was wearing a waistcoat and trousers which Mr. Hodge swore to as being part of the property which was stolen from his house. The policeman had also received information that the articles stolen from Mrs. Groves had been pledged at the shop of MR. MOON, pawnbroker, Penryn. The silk dress had been pledged for eight shillings, and the shawl was also pawned, in the name of JAMES WILLIAMS, of Ponsanooth. Two witnesses swore that they saw the property in the possession of the prisoner on the day the robbery was committed; and on these two charges of robbing Mr. Hodge and Mrs. Groves's premises, he was committed for trial. There were some tea-papers found on the prisoner when apprehended, which it was stated corresponded with those in Mr. Hick's shop, but this charge was not gone into before the magistrate. SUDDEN DEATH - On Tuesday evening last, MR. HILLS, assistant surveyor of taxes, who lived in Edward-street, Truro, was attacked suddenly with coughing, and in about ten minutes afterwards expired. He had been in his usual health in the early part of the evening. An inquest was held at the Globe Inn, on Wednesday, before MR. JOHN CARLYON, coroner, and a verdict returned, "death from apoplexy." DEVON NEWS - AN ELOPEMENT - No inconsiderable amount of excitement prevailed in Plymouth, on Saturday week, amongst a certain class of the population, by the announcement that Mr. P. EMERY, a favourite play- actor, had decamped with another man's spouse, to wit, the wife of a fruiterer and green-grocer named CHRISTMAS, the occupier of a small shop at the corner of King-street, Plymouth, and who has been accustomed to supply refreshments in the saloon of the theatre. It appears that, by a concerted arrangement, no sooner had the luckless husband been dispatched by his wife to Devonport at an early hour on Saturday morning, to effect sundry purchases of fruits and vegetables, than his faithless spouse packed up her wearing apparel, and having also possessed herself of money and jewellery, said to be of the value of GBP 40, she went off, in company with Emery, per first train from the Railway station. On the husband's return home he was not slow in discovering his loss, nor in guessing what were the attendant circumstances. The consolations of philosophy and religion being alike ineffectual, in his case, he had recourse to that very useful officer, MR. GIBBONS, Superintendent of Police, who forthwith hastened with Christmas to the Railway Station, and the agency of the electric telegraph being employed, the runaways were stopped at Newton, much to their chagrin, and nothwithstanding the virtuous indignation which they expressed at the supposition that they could possibly be suspected of the crime imputed to them. They were secured and brought back to Plymouth by the express down train, their arrival at the terminus being hailed with noisy demonstrations by a large crowd assembled upon the occasion. They were then taken by Mr. Gibbons, before MR. JOHN MOORE, the sitting Magistrate, and PHILIP EMERY and SARAH CHRISTMAS were charged with feloniously robbing HENRY CHRISTMAS to the extent abovenamed. The injured husband was in attendance, but declined to prosecute, that he might prevent, it was said, as far as in him lay, exposure that would have been most discreditable to all concerned. THE DARTMOOR CONVICTS - The two convicts who escaped last week from the convict establishment in Dartmoor, have been apprehended at Zeal, on the northern boundary of the Moor. POSTSCRIPTS We read in the Ocean of Brest - "It is announced that the most positive instructions have been sent by the government to the commandant of the French squadron at the Antilles to assist the Cuban government in repelling the aggressions of the American pirates." The "Baltic" steamer has brought three days' later news from New York, viz. to the 30th ult., inclusive,. Many more of the Spanish residents in the States had been grossly assaulted, in consequence of the fifty American pirates having been shot at Havannah. We have no further information of the Cuban invasion by this arrival. Julia Mosman, OPC for St.Austell,Charlestown, and Treverbyn Website at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~staustell W.
