I would like to add my plea to Diane's and Malcolm's to help us finish this project. I am the indexer(at present) for this fantastic collection. There are over 180 wills in it already and I am sure that some of them will be ones that were burned in the blitz and were therefore not available before. Do take time to have a look in the index and see if one of your ancestors is there. If you find something of use please consider "thanking" Malcolm by doing just one transcription. That will mean that my part of the project can finish by the end of the year (she laughs) and I can get on with the BMD's for my 5 OPC parishes!

Folks, This thread has gone on long enough. It is NOT a topic up for discussion. The list rule is we cannot post queries for living persons on this list. If posting information on your ancestor brings a living relative out of the woodwork, that's a plus. There's nothing more to debate. Please end the thread. Thank you, *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Yvonne Bowers Listmom/Webmom CORNISH, CORNISH-GEN, CA-CORNISH http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~yvonne/cornishlib/cornishlib.htm

Halloooo! It seems to me, that as usual, some read far more into a comment than was perhaps originally meant. Alan's original comment on 02 April was, "I thought seeking living relatives is frowned upon on these lists." My response was simply, "One of my major goals constantly is to make contact and exchange information with "distant cousins" who are living descendants of my ancestors! I never dreamed that anyone would take that to mean exchanging and making public that personal information or even asking for personal information about living people. All of us know, don't we, that it is an unwritten rule of genealogy to never, ever make public or share any private or personal information about living people unless they give explicit permission to do so. That is precisely the reason I responded to Alan, because I think we all do hope to seek and find living relatives of our ancestors. Making contact with people who have the same ancestors we have is one of the delightful perks of family research, I think. But what, in that comment, would make anyone think that implies posting or publishing or relating personal private information about the living individuals themselves? To be honest, I hate these diatribes on line about issues like this, and here I am in the middle of one! LOL! But I got a personal email telling me I was wrong, so thought I would explain my point of view a little more, so as to not be misunderstood. Blessings to all on this glorious Easter day...Alleluia...He is Risen indeed. Meli

I felt I should write and support the above. It was with a bit of trepidation I offered to do some transcribing for "Malc" having so much else to do. However, it is all fairly straightforward stuff and even if you do few lines each day ,it soon goes away. I set myself a "task" of, say 6 lines a day and if I feel like doing more, which is usual, then I do. The Cornish Saying of "Every little helps as the old woman said as she pee'd in the sea" rings very true. At least I assume it is Cornish as it was certainly common in West Penwith :)) The more people there are to help with this project, the quicker it will be done.

I agree with this view expressed by Meli. Somehow this thread has produced a number of comments in a tone we don't often encounter on this list and I have no doubt I speak for the suffering majority when I make the plea "Can we drop this now?" !

Hi List, I am again asking for assistance with transcribing my manuscript Cornish documents collection. Thanks to my last appeal I have some great transcribers come on board, these are doing a sterling job and my sincere thanks to all of them. As people’s lives and circumstances change some drop out of the project and these need replacing to keep the transcribing ticking along. For those of you who do not know of the project I have a massive collection of Cornish Documents from the 1500’s to the early twentieth century. These are being transcribed word for word, indexed by Susan Old, deposited at the Cornwall Record Office so they are available to all and the index hosted on the OPC site. All the early ones are now completed and there is nothing earlier than 18th Century left to be transcribed. The index is fully searchable and if you get a hit you just email me and I send a full transcript, _taclowcoth@aol.com_ (mailto:taclowcoth@aol.com) . If you are interested the way it works is, I photograph the document, I send the image to you, you transcribe it and send it back to me, I check it against the original and return the final transcript to you, and to Susan for indexing and enter it in an excel file ready for uploading into the Record Office Database on completion of the project. Many of my transcribers have had a go, never having done anything like this before, the feedback I have received back from them is that many of them enjoy transcribing. The project is coming to an end with hope this year, it has been ongoing for the last ten years and an incredible amount of work has been done, all those who have helped should feel very proud of themselves. The only parishes left now that require work are Bodmin, Lostwithiel Camelford and St Kew. Anyone who offers help does not have to commit to any time scales, everything is pretty relaxed. If you have read this and don’t want to help please search the index on the OPC Cornwall website as all this effort is being put in by volunteers and I am getting very few enquiries for transcripts. It is a very large database and easily searchable at present having over 17,000 entries so please have a look and with luck I can help you fill a gap in your tree. If you would like to help this project please email me off list, _taclowcoth@aol.com_ (mailto:taclowcoth@aol.com) . Many thanks Malcolm McCarthy in sunny Padstow

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 28th March, 1851. Part Two. TRIALS OF PRISONERS - THOMAS CANN, 20, JOHN MANSELL the younger, 17, SAMUEL JONES, 18, and ISAAC PIKE, 16, charged with stealing, on the 6th of January last, two carpet bags and a straw frail, the property of JOSEPH EDWARDS, bazaar-keeper, in Truro. It appeared that in the evening of the 6th of January, the prosecutor's son, a lad thirteen years old, saw the four prisoners loitering about the shop door and window. There were some carpet bags and other articles hanging outside the shop. In the same evening, the four prisoners went to the Police Station and asked of policeman FITZSIMONS if they could have a night's lodging there. He told them they could not, and directed them to go to the parish overseer. On his questioning them, Cann said he came from Redruth, where he had bought a carpet bag which he had under his arm. Mansell also had a carpet bag, which he said he bought at St. Austell. Jones had a frail in his hand. Fitzsimons took the four lads before the Inspector, and told him what had taken place, and afterwards determined to lock them up. Before doing so, Pike said that he had stolen the first carpet bag from Joseph Edwards. Fitzsimons went to Edwards's and found that he had missed some carpet bags. The jury found all the prisoners Guilty. Against Cann there was a previous conviction and he had been ten times summarily convicted. Cann was sentenced to Seven Years Transportation; and the other three prisoners to Three Months' Imprisonment each. ARSON - THOMAS SYMONS, 40, and JAMES GREEN, 23, were charged with having on the 6th of November, 1850, at the parish of Poughill, feloniously set fire to two stacks of hay, the property of Mr. EDWARD SHEARM, solicitor, of Stratton. Mr. SLADE conducted the prosecution. The prisoners were undefended. WILLIAM DOBLE, a clerk at Mr. Shearm's stated - Mr. Shearm has a field called the Furze Park, on a farm in Poughill. On the 6th of November, there were two stacks of hay there, belonging to Mr. Shearm. In the afternoon of that day, about four o'clock, I was going to Poundstock, and met the two prisoners going towards Stratton; when I met them, each of them had a stick. In the evening, between nine and ten o'clock, I was again in the field, and saw both stacks burning. SAMUEL GODDARD - I am an innkeeper at Stratton. On the 6th of November, about nine o'clock in the evening, I was in the Furze Park, and saw the two stacks burning. I was at that time police officer. I received information which induced me to seek for the two prisoners; and I afterwards, in the same evening, saw them in custody of the constable DREW. I began to search them, and asked Symons to let me see if he had any matches about him. He said the match-box had fallen out of his pocket as he fell over the gate where the hay-stacks were on fire. Symons, at that time had in his hand a stick which I now produce. I then locked up the prisoners and went to the field, and found another stick hanging at one of the gates. The next morning I showed that stick to the prisoners, and Green looked at it and said it was his. The ricks were about ten or twelve feet from the gate. They were on fire all round. JOHN HAWKRIDGE, servant of Mr. Shearm, proved finding, on the evening of the fire, while the ricks were burning, a box of lucifer matches, about sixty or seventy paces from the ricks, on the road leading to Stratton. WILLIAM POUND, innkeeper of Stratton:- I was going along the road from Furze Park, about seven or eight o'clock in the evening of the 6th November, and saw the two prisoners standing by the side of the road. I returned into Stratton, and in a quarter of an hour, I heard of the fire. JOHN DREW, constable of Stratton:- About nine o'clock on the 6th of November, the two prisoners came to my house and asked to speak to me; they then called me outside the house and said "we have done it." I said, "done what?" They said "set fire to two stacks of hay." I said, "I hope not." They said, "we have" I then took them in custody. I asked them where the stacks were; and they said, about half a mile out of Stratton on the Kilkhampton road. Mr. Shearm's Furze Park is on the Kilkhampton road. Both prisoners were found guilty. - In reply to questions from the Judge, Symons said: I went to Mr. Shearm's and begged for bread; Mr. Shearm refused to give my any, and threatened to send me to prisoner if I did not make off; I then said, he should not send me to prison for nothing. The other prisoner made no statement. It appeared that both prisoners had been several times summarily convicted, on charges of vagrancy, &c. The learned Judge, after expressing himself very strongly, on the enormity of the crime and on the malicious motive avowed by Symons, sentenced both prisoners to Transportation for Life. MARY GUY, 12, was convicted of stealing on the 13th of December, at St. Breock, a pair of cloth boots, the property of JOHN VARCOE, shoemaker of Bodmin. The robbery was committed as the prosecutor was returning in the evening from Wadebridge market, with a stock of boots and shoes on a cart. Guilty. - One Week's Imprisonment. ELIZABETH BOASE, 33, was charged with stealing, in December last, at St. Buryan, a gown, the property of Mr. JOHN MANN, farmer. She was also charged with feloniously receiving the same, from her daughter JANE BOASE. From the evidence it appeared that the daughter found a dog running about with the frock, and she took it up, put it in a basket, and carried it home. The learned Judge told the Jury it would be monstrous to say that that was a stealing; and if there was no stealing, of course there could be no felonious receiving. It would be their duty, therefore, to acquit. Verdict, Not Guilty. JOSIAH WILLIAMS, 14, was charged with stealing, on the 7th of January, at the parish of Kea, two sovereigns and two half-sovereigns, the property of WILLIAM RULE. Mr. ROGERS conducted the prosecution. The prosecutor state that he was a maltster and flour dealer, keeping a shop in Chacewater. On the 7th January, he received two sovereigns and two half-sovereigns, which he wrapped in a piece of brown paper and put into the till, about twelve o'clock. He left his shop for a few minutes, and on his return, saw the prisoner standing just behind the counter, with the till half out, and his hand over the till, and the paper and money in his hand. On the prosecutor's appearing, the prisoner dropped the money into the till. Witness had, on leaving the shop previously, closed the till. WILLIAM BARBERY, stated that he knew the prisoner, and saw him go into Mr. Rule's shop between twelve and one o'clock on the 7th of January, just after Mr. Rule had come out of the shop. The Judge in summing up, directed the jury that the removal of the property proved by the prosecutor was legally sufficient to constitute larceny. The jury found a verdict of Guilty. The Judge, as appears to be his usual practice, inquired particularly concerning the circumstances and character of the convicted; and on receiving from Mr. PAINE, Inspector of Police at Truro, a bad account of his practices, sentenced him to Six Months' Imprisonment. ELIZABETH JANE COCK, 19, was charged with stealing, at Truro, a gross and a half of tobacco pipes, the property of her master HENRY BASTIAN; and MARY ANN MAY, 21, was charged with feloniously receiving the same. The prosecutor, a pipe-maker of Calenick-street, Truro, missed some pipes on the 9th of January, and sent for the prisoner MAY, a companion of his servant, and in Elizabeth Cock's presence charged her with selling some pipes of his to Mrs. WELLINGTON at the Coach and Horses, and asked how she came by them. At first she said she was in the habit of leaving her door open and did not know how they came into her house; but afterwards she said Elizabeth Jane Cock brought them to her, and told her where to sell them and what price to charge for them. Cock then began to cry and begged prosecutor to forgive her; and the two girls began to abuse and blame each other. ELIZABETH WELLINGTON, wife of the landlord of the Coach and Horses, proved that Mary Ann May had often brought her pipes for sale, and that she brought her two gross in the Christmas week, which she bought at the proper price. The two girls had both brought her pipes, as if from Mr. Bastian. The prosecutor recalled, stated that he had not sent any pipes to Wellington's in December or January last. Both Guilty. Three Months' Imprisonment Each. EDMUND GILL, 36, a respectable looking young man, on bail, pleaded Guilty of stealing, at Carnanton, part of a hand of a stable clock, parts of copper flues, two lead window weights, and other articles, the property of Mr. HUMPHRY WILLYAMS. The Judge passed the lenient sentence of a Fortnight's Imprisonment; stating that the prosecutor had recommended the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the Court, on account of his good character. HENRY BURROWS, 21, and WILLIAM THOMAS, 20, charged with having, on the 1st of March, broken and entered the mill of WILLIAM PASCOE, of the parish of Bodmin, and stolen therefrom a quantity of flour, the property of the said William Pascoe. Mr. HUGHES conducted the prosecution; Mr. SLADE the defence. It appeared that on the night of the 28th of February, the mill was broken open, and a bag and a quantity of flour stolen. On the discovery of the burglary and robbery, at about half-past six on the morning of the 1st of March, two sets of shoe-tracks were traced from the window which had been broken into through a garden and fields to the turnpike-road. These marks were traced by JAMES WORDEN, a servant of the prosecutor, and by the prosecutor himself, William Pascoe, who stated that afterwards in the same day, he went with PHILIP SIBLY, the owner of the mills, to the house of the prisoner Thomas, and asked to be allowed to search the house. Thomas refused for an hour to allow them to do so. At length they threatened to get a warrant, and then he said they might go in. On entering, he (Pascoe) heard footsteps up-stairs, and, on going up, saw Burrows in the bed-chamber; where was also a bag, and a quantity of flour of the same kind as he had missed from his mill, which was about a quarter of a mile from Thomas's house. This evidence was corroborated by Mr. Sibly, the owner of the mill, and also a constable, who afforded no small amusement to the court and bar by his singularly energetic and also vehement manner of giving his testimony. Mrs. KNIGHT, a customer at the mill, stated that on the 27th of February, she gave the bag in question, to MATTHEWS, a loading boy in prosecutor's employ; and Matthews proved that he received the bag from Mrs. Knight, and took it to the mill on the 27th of February. JAMES WORDEN identified the bag, and stated that he saw it at the mill in the evening of the 28th of February. Mr. Slade addressed the jury for the defence, and examined several witnesses in favour of Thomas's character. The jury found Thomas Guilty, and Burrows Not Guilty. HENRY BURROWS was then indicted for stealing, on the 1st day of February, at the parish of Lanivet, two fowls, the property of SAMUEL SOLOMON, farmer. At the close of the evidence for the prosecution, the Judge said the prisoner ought not to be called on for a defence, considering the length of time --- about five weeks --- during which the fowls had been missing before they were found on prisoner's premises, and then they were found in his garden, without any circumstances of concealment. Nor could they properly convict on such evidence. The Jury, however, hesitated to adopt the learned Judge's view of the case; and his lordship told them that if they had the slightest doubt, it was their duty as regarded the prisoner, to hear his counsel. One of the jurors said, "well, we should like to hear him." Mr. Slade, apparently not well pleased at such a compliment bestowed on him at a late hour in the day then rose and told the jury they must be more fond of a speech than he could have imagined. He then, while admitting the power entrusted by the English law to jurors, reproved his twelve hearers for hesitating to defer, in such a case as the present to the opinion of an able and impartial judge, and then addressed them on the facts of the case, warning them, in conclusion, that they could convict only on satisfactory evidence, and not on mere suspicion. The jury eventually found a verdict of Not Guilty. Thursday, march 27. - GEORGE COCK was charged with stealing, on the 1st of August, a quantity of cordage, the property of her Majesty the Queen. Mr. CROWDER stated that this was a prosecution instituted by the Admiralty, and after stating the case he called evidence, from which it appeared that the rope in question was part of the cordage of her Majesty's ship "Octavia," which in August last was lying in ordinary in Hamoaze, the prisoner being "ship-keeper" at the time. Verdict, Guilty. Sentence, Nine Months' Hard Labour. ECCLESIASTICAL - The Rev. J. G. WULFF, vicar of Gwinear, has been presented to the rectory of Illogan, on the nomination of Lady BASSET, of Tehidy Park. The Rev. GEORGE LAMBE, has been appointed to the curacy of St. Ives, and the Rev. A. W. TAYLER, to the curacy of Moorwinstow, both in this county. APPOINTMENT - Major General WOOD, C.B., K.H., Colonel of the 3rd West India Regiment, is appointed Commander-in-Chief of the forces in the Leeward and Windward Islands, with the rank of Lieutenant General. The General leaves Falmouth immediately to proceed to Barbadoes, the usual head quarters. THE CENSUS - The preparations for taking the Census, on Monday next, are fully completed, and the schedules for each householder will all be delivered by Saturday night. It will be the duty of the officers to call on every householder in their respective districts, on the day above mentioned, to collect the schedules, which ought by that time to be filled up and ready to be delivered. GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT - A few days since the mechanics and others in the employ of Messrs. SANDYS, VIVIAN and Co's factory, at Copper House, having learnt with deep regret that Mr. OCTAVIUS WILLIAMS, who has been in the Civil Engineering department of that firm for many years, had suddenly resigned his situation, resolved to present that gentleman with a piece of place as an acknowledgment of the many advantages they had received from his superior talents, his amiable disposition and urbanity of manners towards them as their engineer. In a few hours a sufficient sum was subscribed to purchase a very handsome silver box, which was presented to Mr. Williams in appropriate terms. It is to be regretted that the intention of presenting Mr. Williams with a piece of plate was not publicly made know, as many gentlemen and others of the neighbourhood are disappointed in not having their names among the subscribers. We believe that Mr. Williams has since been appointed to a more important and lucrative situation as civil engineer in Wales, and we are sure that he will carry with him the universal respect and best wishes of the people of Copper House. TESTIMONIAL OF ESTEEM - The shareholders of the Birmingham and Midland Bank have presented a service of silver plate to Mr. CHARLES GEACH, their managing director, to express their appreciation of the talent, zeal and energy displayed by him in the administration of their affairs, which have raised the bank to its present flourishing condition. His portrait is also to be placed in the board-room of the bank. We understand that Mr. Geach is a native of St. Austell. A few years since he was the junior clerk in the Birmingham branch of the Bank of England. He has raised himself by his abilities and conduct to be the managing director of a large and flourishing bank, and has filled with much distinction the office of mayor of Birmingham. HELSTON - SHEEP STEALING - During the past week seven sheep have been stolen from Ventonvedna, in Sithney, the property of Mr. TYACKE. The sheep were stolen on three different nights and as yet no clue can be got to the thieves. APPREHENSION OF A THIEF - Information having been received in Plymouth, that a woman named ANN PLEACE, HAD STOLEN AT Liskeard, A watch, the property of Mr. THOMAS PEARCE, the police were instructed to keep a sharp look out for the lady should she make her appearance in that town. The result was, that on Tuesday, she was apprehended by P. C. HOLMAN, one of the detective force, and by him taken to Liskeard, where she was on the following day, committed for trial at he assizes. SUDDEN DEATH - On Monday morning about six o'clock, Mr. GEAKE, tanner, of St. Germans, went into his tan-yard, and having sent one of his workmen to his farm to take up some turnips, proceeded, as is supposed, to finish some work which the man had left. While thus engaged he fell head foremost into one of the pump holes. The accident was not observed, and the body must have been a considerable time in the water before being discovered. He was seen alive at seven o'clock, but was not found until nine o'clock, when his non-appearance at breakfast occasioned some search to be made. The surgeon at the inquest stated that he thought it was an apoplectic seizure, and that he was dead before he fell in. Mr. Geake had often expressed a fear that he would die suddenly. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE - A miner named HEAD, had a very narrow escape of his life on Friday last, whilst at work under ground in the Polberrou mines, St. Agnes. He was employ in turning a "Stull," when suddenly a large mass of stones and rubbish gave way on him, which carried him down a "pass," and buried him underneath. If occupied three house to extricate him from this perilous situation, and it was much feared that he could not be got out alive, but fortunately some large rocks fell around him in such a position as to screen his person from much weight, and he escaped with only a few bruises. MINE ACCIDENT - On Friday week, a young man named EDWIN TREMBATH, of the parish of Ludgvan, had his leg broken and shoulder-bone dislocated by a scale of ground falling on him while at work at the 140 fathoms level. At Wheal Margaret, in the parish of Lelant. CORONER'S INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held during the past week before Mr. W. HICHENS, jun., deputy-coroner:- On the 22nd instant, at St. Just in Penwith, on the body of ISAAC PERROW, aged 38 years. The deceased was a miner and worked at Balleswidden mine, in that parish, and on the preceding day was at his labour, at the 100 fathoms level of the "Colliver Shaft," with his comrade, a person named JOHN TASKIS. They were employed in what is technically called "running an old shell," and they had taken out some of the sollars for the purpose of letting a portion of the ground fall down to fill up a cavity below. It appeared that the deceased and his comrade in the expectation that the ground would quickly run or fall away, had agreed, in order to escape injury, that so soon as they had notice by noise or otherwise, of its being about to do so, the former should run westward and the latter eastward. In the course of their work the ground gave signs of its being about to fall, and Taskis immediately thereupon ran towards the east, as had been agreed, expecting that the deceased would go in the opposite direction. On looking round however, to see that his comrade was safe, he discovered that the poor fellow was following him, and in a second or two afterwards, he, the deceased, was struck down and buried by the falling ground. The unfortunate man was very soon afterwards dug out, but of course life was extinct. Verdict "accidental death." On the same day, in the parish of St. Hilary, on the body of JOHN TYACK, jun., about 16 years. The deceased was a miner, and worked at Hallamanning mine, in that parish, and was employed on the 21st with some other men, in clearing the adit level, when a large piece of timber (a half balk), which on the preceding day only, had been placed across the level to support the ground, came away, bringing with it a large mass of rubbish, and completely burying the deceased and his comrade, JOHN BECKERLEG. The utmost diligence was used in extricating the bodies, and Beckerleg, who happened to be taken out first, was alive, and has since so far recovered as to be out of all danger, but the deceased was lifeless. The timber had all the appearance of having been securely fixed in the ground, and no danger was apprehended by any one who saw it after it had been so fixed, and the were quite unable to account for its falling. Verdict, "accidental death." The adjourned inquest at Newquay, concerning the death of HEZEKIAH BUNT, mention in our last number, was resumed before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, on Friday last. After receiving evidence concerning the analysed contents of the deceased's stomach, the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Mr. WILLIAM HAMLYN PASCOE, surgeon, who, thereupon, was committed for trial at the Assizes.

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 28th March, 1851 Part One TRIALS OF PRISONERS - CHRISTIAN LOWRY, 21, was charged with stealing, on the 4th of January, a table-cloth, two bed-gowns, three pillow-cases, two sheets, and other articles, the property of JAMES SANDERS, of the Ship Inn, Truro. Mr. COLLIER conducted the prosecution. From the evidence of Mrs. Sanders, it appeared that the accused had lived with her some time as a servant, and that after she left her house, she occasionally came and worked as charwoman. Mrs. Sanders missed some articles in January last, and went to prisoner's lodgings (where she lived with her husband,) and charged her with taking them. About a week after, having received further information, she again went and charged prisoner with taking the things, and she delivered her two bed-gowns and a pillow-case. Sergeant HARE, of the Truro police, also gave evidence, of his having searched prisoner's lodgings. The learned Judge, however, directed an acquittal, observing that if anything wrong had been done, the prisoner seemed to have been much less a party to it than her husband; for according to Mrs. Sanders's evidence prisoner wished to give up the things when Mrs. Sanders called at her husband's lodgings, whilst the husband seemed to desire concealment. She appeared to have been actuated by a feeling of honesty in the matter. The goods being found at her husband's lodgings were in his possession, not hers; and she must be held also as acting under his authority. Verdict, Not Guilty. - Another indictment against the prisoner for stealing a yard of doeskin and two yards of ribbon, from JAMES HODGE, was not pressed against her. WILLIAM VANSTONE, 27, and FRANCIS GLOYN, were charged with stealing, at Launcells, on the 11th of January, a quantity of horse-hair, the property of THOMAS SHEPHARD. - Not Guilty. JAMES WADE, 20, was charged with stealing a quantity of rope, the property of WILLIAM HOCKEN and others. From the evidence of Mr. Hocken (who is a retired Custom House officer), it appeared that the rope was stolen from the schooner "Touch-me-not," of which prosecutor is part owner, and which on the 1st of January, was lying in the Fowey river, moored between the quay and the broad-slip. Prisoner sold the rope to a dealer in articles of that description, and had also confessed his guilt when before the committing magistrate. Verdict, Guilty. Sentence, Six Weeks Hard Labour. FOWL STEALING - JOHN COKER, SAMUEL HOSKIN, and BARTLETT SEARS, otherwise PASCOE, were charged with stealing, at Truthan, in the parish of St. Erme, on the night of the 15th of February, two tame fowls, the property of Mr. COLLINS, Mr. STOCK conducted the prosecution, and Mr. MAYNARD defended the prisoners Coker and Hoskin; Sears being undefended. At the desire of Mr. Maynard, the witnesses on both sides were ordered to leave the Court until called on. Mr. Stock stated that the prosecutor was a magistrate of the county, and then detailed the circumstances of the case, after which he called the following witnesses:- JOHN MICHELL, of Kenwyn parish, was in Truro on Saturday evening, the 15th of February; saw Coker and Bartlett Sears there, walking in the street together, between five and six o'clock. Cross-Examined - Prisoner Hoskin lives with his brother, and Coker with his father; both the brother and father are highly respectable men. WILLIAM BREWER, labourer, St. Erme, was going on Saturday the 15th of February, to Truro; met two men about three-quarters of a mile from Truro, going towards St. Erme; they had a greyhound and a bull-dog. JAMES KNIGHT was with me and said "good night, gentlemen." One of them, I thought it was Bartlett Sears, replied "good night." Had heard him speak before. Notice the greyhound, had seen it since at Truthan, on the 20th of February, lying dead in Mr. Collins's stable. Cross-Examined - Did not know the other man who was with Sears; it was then about a quarter to eight in the evening; never saw the dogs before. James Knight, labourer, St. Erme, was in company with last witness on the night in question. Noticed both the dogs the men had with them; had seen one of the dogs before; saw them both dead afterwards in Mr. Collins's stable. EDWARD WILTON BUDGE, of St. Erme, occasionally works for Mr. Collins; was at Richards's beer-house, at Highway, on Saturday evening 15th of February; saw Samuel Hoskin there; he had on a lightish coloured coat, and dark small clothes, (gave other particulars about his dress). He had a double-barrelled gun, and said he had been to Penair rabbit shooting. Richards's beer-shop is little more than a mile from Truthan. Coker also came into the beer-house; he had on dark clothes; Hoskin and Coker drank together and went away together, Hoskin taking his gun with him; they left at about ten or fifteen minutes before nine. Cross-Examined. - Witness was sober at the beer-house, nearly as he was not, perhaps not exactly. (Laughter) JOHN BUDGE, son of last witness, works for Mr. Collins. On Saturday the 15th of February, was at Richards's beer-house; saw Coker and Hoskin leave; about ten minutes after I left to go to Truthan, went to the gamekeeper's house there; went out watching for poachers at different places on the grounds. About twelve o'clock was in a field called Barn Close, about three or four hundred yards from Mr. Collins's farm-yard. While we were in Barn Close my father gave an alarm, and we went to the Wall-park, myself, SAMUEL WILLIAMS, DANIEL COLEMAN, the gamekeeper, RICHARD KEAST, and PHILIP GILL. These men were watching for poachers, when we got to the gate in Milldowns; saw fowls coming out of the cart-house, in Wall-park, and flying over the hedge. The fowls were kept in the cart-house. Saw two men in Wall-park coming from the yard. It was a clear moonlight; I was twenty or twenty-four feet from the men; knew them to be John Coker and Bartlett Sears; saw the men turn, went after them, and then said to Keast, "there go Coker and Sears." Did not see anything in their hands. They ran away, a grey-hound following close after them. I fired at the dog, and he fell. After that I heard a noise in the cart-house; went back and looked around; saw a man in the cart-house standing in the corner behind a post. He took a double-barrelled gun out of the cart, and pointed it at me; he did not speak. I pointed my gun, and told him, if he did not stand I would blow his brains out. My gun was not loaded at the time. He then ran away; and I said at the time to Keast, "there's Samuel Hoskin;" he was dressed as he was in the beer-shop. I believe it was Samuel Hoskin; but would not swear to a man at night unless I had him in my hand; have no doubt it was Hoskin. Cross-Examined - Had neither Coker nor Hoskin in my hand that night. Samuel Williams, hind to Mr. Collins, was out watching for poachers with Budge and others on the night in question; went to the farm-yard in Barn Close; heard Budge threaten to blow out a man's brains; and saw a man with light clothes run from the cart house and go by the hedge; was about fifteen yards from the man, and thought it was Hoskin. (Witness described the man's clothes.) Had known Hoskin before; as he ran away he fell down. Next morning (Sunday) went with Mr. Collins's gamekeeper, Daniel Coleman; first traced footsteps about a hundred yards from Richards's "kidleywink." Went from Richards's house to a field opposite; saw marks of footsteps there, at the first hedge the footmarks of two men; could not trace the steps across, it being a green field, but found them again, going over a hedge into a muddy lane; there were there marks of three persons with two dogs; one of the dogs had larger feet than the other. After crossing some fields found the same marks again; this was going in the direction of Truthan; tracked them to the farm-yard, they came down abreast with the dogs; the shoes of one of the parties had been lately half-tapped; for the last quarter of a mile saw the tracks all the way to the farm-yard. Cross-Examined - Would not swear positively it was Hoskin that ran out of the cart-house; Coker lives with his father, who is a very respectable man. Samuel Keast, works for Mr. Collins; was out watching with the others for poachers on the night in question; was near the gate in Wall-park and saw the fowls fly over the hedge into Mill-downs. (Corroborated other parts of the previous testimony.) Saw Philip Gill pick up a hen outside the cart-house; the neck of the hen was twisted; it was Mr. Collins's property, whose fowls roost in the cart-house. Saw a bull-dog near the farm-yard gate with a fowl in his mouth. Gill caught the dog; we took it to the hind's house, and hung the dog on the Sunday evening. The dead greyhound and the bull-dog were afterwards put in the stable at Truthan. WILLIAM WOOLCOCK, policeman at Truro, apprehended Sears on Wednesday night the 19th of February, in Truro. After knocking some time at the door of the house where prisoner was sleeping, he came down and opened it; he was not then dressed. He said "Come inside, it is all right," and he then said he did not intend to go away. I had not said anything to him before that. Was at Truthan and saw the dead greyhound in the stable; knew it immediately to be Bartlett Sears's dog; had seen it several times before; had seen it several times before; had seen it two or three times with Sears; he had had it two or three months. He told me some time before that he had bought this greyhound. This concluded the case for the prosecution. Mr. Maynard then addressed the jury for the prisoners Coker and Hoskin. He contended that the evidence did not even make out a case of strong suspicion against those prisoners. Not one of the witnesses pretended to speak with any certainty with regard to Coker; and with respect to Hoskin, the witnesses, with the single exception of John Budge, only speak as a matter of suspicion. John Budge speaks with more certainty, but he had no more right to be certain than any other person; for they saw the parties under circumstances in which it would be impossible to swear to their identity. Budge said he would not swear to any man at night, unless he had him in his hands, and what did that mean but that unless he had this man in his hands (which he had not), he could not swear to him. With regard to the footsteps of which evidence had been given they proved nothing. He would now call the respectable men to whom some of the witnesses had referred, to prove an alibi in the case of Coker and Hoskin. He then called HUBERT COKER, father of the prisoner Coker, who had lived at Lanner Mill twenty-three years, and been constable for seven years. He is my only son, takes part in my business; I entrust him with money, and never found anything against him with regard to dishonesty. Sent him to Truro on the 15th of February, to collect rent; he returned to my house about half-past nine, and after taking tea he went to bed; heard him after that talking to his mother. I went to bed about half-past twelve; he had not then come down, his shoes were at the bottom of the stairs. GEORGE THOMAS, miller in the employ of last witness. Saw young Coker come back from Truro about half-past nine on Saturday night the 15th of February. Truro is about four miles from Coker's Mill. When I came in the last time that night about half-past eleven, saw young Coker's shoes at the bottom of the stairs. I sleep with John Coker the prisoner, and spoke to him when I went to bed about half-past eleven. RICHARD HOSKIN, farmer, St. Allen, brother of prisoner Hoskin, said his brother had returned from America about three or four months, and had been living with witness. My brother went to see his aunt that day, (15th of February), and took his gun with him; returned home about ten o'clock, ate some supper, and went to bed. Sleeps in the same room with me; the beds are touching; did not hear him go out that night. He told me he had been at Richards's beer-house. PHILIPPA HOSKIN deposed that her brother went to bed about ten o'clock on Saturday night, the 15th of February; she carried some changes of linen into his room at twenty minutes to twelve; then saw her brother in bed. The prisoner Sears, on being called on for his defence, said his dog strayed away on Saturday the 15th of February; how he got to Truthan he did not know. Mr. Stock, in reply, made no observations on the case of Coker, but still contended that the evidence was weighty as against Hoskin, and threw doubts on the credibility of the witnesses who had deposed to the alibi, who might be mistaken, he said, with regard to the day. He would make no remark on the case of Sears, because he was undefended. In summing up, the learned Judge said it could scarcely be supposed that the respectable witnesses who had been called, hitherto of stainless character, would now have perjured themselves to prove an alibi. He did not consider that Sears's words to Woolcock when he went to apprehend him, showed his guilt, but were capable of another explanation. The evidence against Sears (except with regard to the dog) was not even so strong as against the others; and the question arose, what reliance the jury could place on evidence which (if they believed the proof of alibi) had been so completely mistaken with regard to the other two men. The jury after a short deliberation, Acquitted all the prisoners. NO BILLS - The Grand Jury ignored the bill against JOHN LOWRY, charged with stealing at Truro, a sleeve-board and pair of scissors, the property of JAMES HODGE. Also against WILLIAM HILL, charged with housebreaking at St. Kew. Also against GERTRUDE WELLINGTON, charged with having murdered, at Luxulyan, her male illegitimate child. The Grand Jury returned a true bill against JOHN MOON, for poaching on the lands of Mr. GREGOR, in Ruanlanihorne; also on a count for shooting at, in order to resist apprehension. Thursday, March 27. - JAMES HENRY HARRIS, 17, pleaded Guilty, after two former convictions, of stealing, on the 6th of March, at the parish of Kenwyn, one yard of duck the property of RICHARD HAWKEY, miller. DAVID ANDERSON, 21, charged with having, on the night of Tuesday the 15th of January, 1850, at the parish of Crowan, feloniously broken and entered the shop of THOMAS SYMONS, draper, and stolen therefrom several pieces of orleans and coburg cloth, a quantity of knives and forks, some tobacco, and other articles, the property of the said Thomas Symons. Mr. COLERIDGE conducted the prosecution; Mr. SLADE the defence. The fact of the housebreaking and robbery being proved by the prosecutor's son, the witnesses, MARY NICHOLLS and JOHN JULYAN, deposed that a man whom they believed to be the prisoner, and who was pock-marked (as was the prisoner) was selling Orleans and coburg cloth, and knives and forks at Treviskey, on the 17th of January, 1850; but these witnesses were not positive that the prisoner was the man. Another witness, however, JOHN GAY, swore positively that the prisoner was the man. ELIZABETH TIPPET proved letting three men, of whom the prisoner was one, into a lodging-house at Camborne, on the night when the robbery took place. In the course of the trial, and in summing up, the learned Judge remarked strongly on the absence of any evidence concerning the prisoner's apprehension (which took place lately in Wales), and any observations made by him at the time. His lordship also deprecated any attempt to substitute the opinion of a jury on a description of the person and dress of the man who sold the cloth and knives, for the opinion of witnesses who had distinctly stated that after their means of observation at the time the articles were sold, they could not positively identify the prisoner. The prisoner received a good character from a Mrs. FORD, keeper of a temperance hotel, at St. Just in Penwith. The jury found a verdict of Acquittal. PARKYN v. WYLD - Was one in which Mr. Parkyn, draper, of Bodmin, brought an action against Mr. Wyld, M.P., to recover the sum of GBP105 for flags and ribbons supplies for the use of the honourable member's party at his election in 1847. After the cause had been entered, it was settled out of court, the defendant, as we understand, paying the debt and costs. DOE DEM. - RICHARDS v. FORD - This was an undefended action of ejectment, in which a verdict passed for plaintiff. The plaintiff, we understand, resides at Penzance, and the defendant at St. Just in Penwith. ANDREW and ANOTHER v. BREWER - This was also an undefended action. Mr. MONTAGUE SMITH appeared for the plaintiff. The action was brought on a deed, dated the 19th of September, 1835, in which THOMAS ROWE BREWER, the father of the defendant, covenanted for himself, his executors and administrators to pay to the plaintiffs - HENRY PRYNN ANDREW, and THOMAS WHITFORD - the sum of GBP400 with interest at the rate of five per cent. The only witness examined was FREDERICK JOHNS, attesting witness of the deed referred to. The amount of interest claimed being GBP45. 3s., the Judge directed a verdict for plaintiff for GBP445. 3s., and ordered execution in a week. KEMPE v. KEMPE - Mr. COLLIER for plaintiff. An undefended action in which WILLIAM PETER KEMPE was plaintiff; and WILLIAM CORYTON KEMPE was defendant. The action was brought on a promissory note whereby the defendant promised to pay the plaintiff GBP100 on demand, with interest at five per cent. The note was dated the 23rd of November, 1849. The defendant's handwriting in the signature of the note was proved by Mr. JOHN CARLYON, solicitor. There being no demand for interest, the Judge directed a verdict for plaintiff, for GBP100 debt, and one shilling damages. His lordship ordered execution in a week. DOE DEM - GRENVILLE v. HICKS - Mr. CROWDER and Mr. KARSLAKE for plaintiff; Mr. SLADE for defendant. This was an action of ejectment brought on the demise of the Honourable ANNE BARONESS GRENVILLE, against the defendant GEORGE HICKS, to recover possession of a farm in the parish of Lanteglos by Fowey, called Triggabrown and Warren. Mr. Karslake having opened the pleadings, Mr. Crowder stated that the defendant had been a yearly tenant of the farm for some years, at a rent at first of GBP200 a year, which was subsequently reduced to GBP160, from which fifteen per cent was afterwards taken off. Still the rent was not paid, and, at length, it was found necessary to give notice to quit. That notice was given on the 23rd of March, 1850; and expired at Michaelmas last. After receiving notice, the defendant was anxious to continue on the far; and on his application to Mr. PEASE, Lady Grenville's steward, to that effect, that gentleman informed him by letter that it was not wished to turn him out immediately, provided some terms could be arranged; and he (Mr. Pease) appointed a meeting at Boconnoc, in order to have an interview with Mr. FORTESCUE, who had for many years managed Lady Grenville's estate. From that time, many attempts at arrangement were made, but without effect, and at length it became necessary that the notice to quit should be enforced. The only defence he (Mr. Crowder) anticipated was, that the notice had been waived in consequence of the negotiations that took place between the parties subsequent to its service. In point of fact, however, there had been no waiver, although there had been various attempts to prevent its being carried into effect; but the defendant would not comply with terms that were absolutely necessary for the proper cultivation of the farm. The witnesses examined were Mr. JOHN BOWEN, formerly steward to Lady Grenville for many years; WILLIAM POND, woodranger at Boconnoc, who, on the 23rd of March, 1850, received from Mr. Fortescue a notice, in the hand-writing of Mr. Pease, which he served the same day on the defendant; and Mr. WILLIAM PEASE, the present steward of Lady Grenville, who had succeeded Mr. Bowen in that office in March, 1850. Besides giving evidence on the subject of the notice and the subsequent negotiations, Mr. Pease stated that with respect to Lady Grenville's property he always communicated with Mr. Fortescue, who lived at Boconnoc, and, also gave evidence of an interview which a few days after service of the notice the defendant had with Mr. Fortescue on the subject of his tenancy. On the subject of the negotiations between the parties, Mr. Pease stated that after the notice referred to had been served, Hicks was very desirous of remaining in the farm, and if matters could have been arranged, there would have been no objection to his doing so. Negotiations went on for some time, Mr. BISHOP, solicitor, acting on behalf of Hicks. On the 27th of March, he (witness) wrote a letter to Hicks, informing him that if any satisfactory arrangement could be come to, the notice to quit need not be acted upon, and requesting him to meet Mr. Fortescue on the following Saturday at Boconnoc, and see if any arrangement could be made. He attended at Boconnoc on that day, and there was a long interview. On the 5th of September, 1850, he (Mr. Pease) wrote to the defendant, information him that he had that morning seen Mr. Fortescue with reference to what had passed between him 9Mr. Pease) and defendant the previous evening, and begged to inform him that the decision Mr. Fortescue had come to was, that the notice to quit must be acted on, unless he (Hicks) could manage to pay the rent at once without selling off the stock, and would enter into necessary covenants for the proper management of the estate, and also informing him that notice for letting the estate would be published the following week. Mr. Pease went on to state that notices for letting were published the following week. After that, Hicks and his attorney, Mr. Bishop, came to him, and were desirous of holding on for one year. Witness saw Mr. Fortescue on the subject, and communicated what had been said, and it was agreed that Hicks might remain on certain conditions. In consequence of that, witness saw Mr. Hicks and Mr. Bishop, and told Mr. Bishop he would write out the conditions in a day or two, and let him have them. Witness did so on the 24th of September, and, after two other letters, witness received a letter from Mr. Bishop, concluding the matter by stating that no agreement could be come to and no agreement was come to. Cross-Examined. Did not communicate directly with Lady Grenville on the subject. After the service of the notice to quit, and the letter which suggested payment of rent, the defendant paid a portion of the rent, but not all. He paid GBP150; but there were GBP230 due at the previous Michaelmas, after allowing him fifteen per cent. It was afterwards agreed that if he would pay GBP150 by the end of May, all the remainder should be forgiven hi. He did not pay by that time. He paid part in September or October; but he had not paid in respect of any rent that became due after Michaelmas, 1850. A distraint was levied on the 31st October last. At the conclusion of the evidence, Mr. Slade objected to the notice, on the ground that Mr. Fortescue was not shown to have had any authority to send it. The Judge was of opinion that there was evidence for the jury that Mr. Fortescue had sufficient authority. The notice to quit was then admitted and read. Mr. Slade addressed the jury for the defendant, still urging that it would be for them to consider whether it was satisfactorily proved, in the absence of power of attorney, that Mr. Fortescue was authorised to give the notice in question. The learned Judge summed up, and concluded by directing the jury that the real question would be whether Mr. Fortescue had or had not authority to give the notice in the case. The jury returned a verdict for plaintiff. The Judge ordered immediate execution, Mr. Crowder having stated that the defendant had 112 acres - more than half the farm, including all the meadow land - in tillage. This concluded the Nisi Prius business of the day; the two remaining cases - BODILLY v. THOMAS, and REGINA v. GARLAND - special jury cases - being fixed for Thursday.

Hi, Wondering if anyone has any additional information or can find any additional information on any of these families from Redruth Parish, Cornwall? The 1862 Marriage record for Peter Moore and Johanna Jordan, my ancestors listed a Michael Killahanan as a witness. Anyone recognize that surname or what it could really be/other spellings? I found him in 1861 and 1871 but no further (as well as his children). 1861 census Brea, Illogan, Cornwall Michael Killarn b abt 1826 Ireland with wife Mary (b abt 1826 Ireland), mother Mary (b. abt 1793 Ireland) and children Patrick (b. abt 1858 Illogan), Michael (b. abt 1859 Illogan) and Cornelius (b. abt 1859 Illogan). Boarding with them were Peter and Ann Moore. 1871 census Brea, Illogan, Cornwall Michael Kynan (b abt 1821 Ireland) with wife Mary (b abt 1821 Ireland) and children Patrick (b. abt 1858 Illogan), Michael (b. abt 1859 Illogan) and Cornelius (b. abt 1859 Illogan), Norah (b. abt 1861 Illogan), and Jeremiah (b. abt 1864 Illogan) Possible vital records (couldn't find most people above): Births Cornelius Cilnan b. Apr-May-Jun 1859 Redruth Michael Cilnan b. Apr-May-Jun 1859 Redruth Deaths Mary Kilnan b. abt 1791 died 1866 Redruth Patrick Killanahan b. abt 1796 died 1871 Redruth Cornelius Killanahan d. 1858 Redruth Ellen Killanahan d. 1858 Redruth Mary Killanhan/Kelenuen b. abt 1838 died 1878 Redruth Marriages Michael Killanahan 1856 Redruth. Mentioned twice for some reason so not sure who wife is. No Mary listed. A sister of my ancestor, Johanna Jordan Moore, Mary Jordan (born about 1847 in Ireland) married Jeremiah Driscoll in 1863. He was probably the Jeremiah Driscoll born about 1839 in Ireland, copper miner, in Illogan in 1861 son of Timothy and Julia Driscoll and sibling of Margaret, Patrick, Mary and Daniel Driscoll. I cannot find them in any census records. Any assistance would be great! Peter Trearchis

If someone is seeking information on a living person that I know, I will pass the name and address of the enquirer to that person to respond or not. That way it is their choice. Peter -----Original Message----- From: cornish-gen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cornish-gen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Diane Donohue Sent: Saturday, 3 April 2010 5:45 PM To: CORNISH-GEN@rootsweb.com Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] Looking for living descendants wrong? No !! Just another 2-penneth. I think Nick has made some very valid points. It is very easy to forget that when dealing with dead ancestors we want to find out all the information about them It is a different matter when people are still living. I don't see the harm in asking on the list if anybody knows the whereabouts of somebody but in these days, with identities being stolen, one has to take a bit of care. There was somebody on another list asking for the whereabouts of somebody I know. I know where he is but wouldn't dream of telling the enquirer without asking him first. Not everybody is into family history and there is a balance between being genuinely interested in finding a person and being paranoid about why the person wants to find out. Just a bit of common sense. As has been said we can always contact people off the list.
