I agree with Meli contacting 'living descendants' is a bonus, you share information, family bibles, family oral history, photos etc, and make new friends . but I suppose the way to do it is to reply off list so that the privacy is retained. I cannot see any harm in asking for information if anyone has it to share, but not to be too specific about anyone that may be alive.

*Goodness, the Australian Family Tree Connections has a classified advertisement category: Missing Relatives [Living] In fact, I answered one such advertisment only to find I had extended family hitherto unknown, and more, had memories of grandmother whom I had never met, and gave me the BirthdayBook which belonged to my g+grandmother. I was and continue to be exceeding grateful that such a category exists.

A general comment on how I manage people who are or maybe still alive. My program has an option which in GEDCOMs and reports one just can record the name of individuals and their relationships to parents, spouses and children thus:- Tom Smith (1865-1940). He married Catherine Johnson (1870-) in Exeter, Devon in 1898. ALL INFORMATION GIVEN ON TOM AND CATHERINE (she is assumed dead being > 100). They had issue:- 1. John Smith (1900-1980). He married Mary Brown (1905-1995) in Plymouth, Devon in 1930. ALL INFORMATION GIVEN ON JOHN AND MARY. They had issue:- 1.1 William Smith who is still alive. He married Anne Jones who is still alive. They had issue:- 1.1.1. Tom Smith (1960-1962). ALL INFORMATION GIVEN 1.1.2. Jane Smith who is still alive. She married Michael Roberts (1962-2005). ALL INFORMATION GIVEN ON MICHAEL. 1.1.3. Susan Smith who is still alive. 2. Other sibling and their descendents and spouses This is what I would call "open" format and is the information I would make available to anyone who has a proved link with these Smiths. However if the enquiry is from any descendent of Tom Smith (1865-1940) I would let them also have all the information on relations who are alive - "closed" format. I inform anyone who lets me have data on living people of my policy. Another area - how does define information obtained from the BMD Index - as public information or as private. Any comments appreciated.

Come on kiddies! The Peterville Inn has been a living relative of my family for centuries - and still is! I will be contacting this relative throughout the coming Summer and will happily buy you a pint of fine Cornish ale if your interpretation of the privacy laws permit you to approach me! :-) Kernow bys vyken!

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.

Like it or not, the vast majority of genealogy lists and message boards regard rightly the seeking of details on living people as an invasion of their privacy. I would be offended if I came across somebody that I did not know asking for details of my private life on a message board. Of course I am in contact with living cousins all over the world as a result of discovering shared family. That is very different from asking for those individual's details before I had made contact with them about dead family. How would anybody who replied to such a message know that the enquiry was made with a legitimate purpose? If you are asking for details of distant cousin George's whereabouts or his marriage, how do you know that cousin George is happy for such details to be publicly shared? I know several family historians who have expressly asked that not only their details but also the details of their parents whether living or dead are not shared anywhere online. Why should anybody think they have a right to disregard and disrespect those sensitivities, or jeopardise them unwittingly, just in pursuit of a hobby? If you can't see why asking for information about a person that you don't know may be harmful, than I am sorry Nick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Faraway" <Faraway@xtra.co.nz> To: <cornish-gen@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 11:29 PM Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] Looking for living descendants wrong?

The CORNISH Volunteer Lookup Library has been updated. There are updates in the "Lost" Library and updated links. OPC REMINDER: it is redundant to have the OPCs listed in both the Parish Lookup pages and the OPC website http://www.cornwall-opc.org/. The CORNISH Volunteer Lookup Library pre-dates the Online Parish Project by a couple of years and at that time (the bad, ol' days) we had volunteers doing lookups in their own resources or in parish records. The OPC network has shaped up nicely but it's a task trying to match the Lookup Library with the OPCs. Therefore the Parish Lookup section of the Library is back to personal lookups and the OPC link will take you to the OPC site and index for all the latest OPCs and their websites and contact information. For you lookup volunteers now is a good time to check your links. Let me know if anything needs updating. FYI - I had a hard drive failure in Feb. and lost my pending mail. If anyone had library updates that haven't been done, please resend to me. Also, if anyone has pics of the Mineral Point Festival in Feb. 2009 or the St. Piran's Day Celebration in Grass Valley last month, please email to me for the albums.

Dear Alan and other List Members, I am sorry if I have contravened the rules of the list. The information on the JENKIN family from Peterville Inn has been obtained mainly through research using online tools. I believe that Elizabeth is the niece of my ancestor James. I would like to confirm the information that I have is correct and I am not sure how else to do this. The other reason that I have for wanting to locate other interested researchers is that Elizabeth's father William was according to a document held at the Cornwall County Record Office living in Nevada in 1882. It appears that he left the family sometime in the 1860s and although there are two Williams in the 1880 US census for Nevada neither of them is a match in terms of age and marital status. The town in Nevada where William was supposed to have been living was very short lived and nothing now remains. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dear Friends, This comment was just posted in a recent Corn-Gen digest issue: "Date: Fri, 2 Apr 2010 06:11:01 +0100 From: "Alan Nelson" <atgn@elder53.fsnet.co.uk> Subject: Re: [CORNISH-GEN] JENKIN - Peterville Inn, St Agnes To: <cornish-gen@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <DBBB037FF03841158BED9046C270BE67@YOUR60C1573C39> I thought seeking living relatives is frowned upon on these lists" Surely not!

Can anyone give me the new e-mail address for Bill and Gwen Phillips. Have sent them e-mail, but it is being returned. Thank you, Bear Johnson, Michigan, USA

What Nick says is absolutely true, but his statement might be misinterpreted to mean that no one is allowed to communicate with other respondents to the list. I am am sure that he does not mean to say that two people who recognize a relationship cannot of their own volition write to each other. The reality is that the only people who respond to information on a list are living people. It is also true that people who have the information sought also often happen to be related to the same people and are themselves relatives of the inquirer. I have established contact with living relatives through this and other lists because of information requests, and that has been mutually beneficial. It is an absolute "no, no" to share or post any information on a living person here or anywhere else on the internet, and it is also not proper to ask that others provide contact information about other people. But that is not the same as a situation where someone is asking for information about a deceased person, and that I see that this happens to my ancestor, and that I then voluntarily invite that seeker to voluntarily contact me off-list to see whether we might gain some mutual benefit from collaboration. I always try to extend that invitation directly and off-list, making certain that no privacy is breached. Even privately, it is improper to give information on living people without the express permission from that person. However, noticing people who are researching the same people as I seek is, in my opinion, a valuable benefit of watching the traffic on the list. That also is different from the forbidden practice of asking that others provide us with contact information about living people. (So far I have been unable to establish contact with any deceased persons). Just my opinion, but I hope that if I am looking for information about a deceased relative and someone recognizes that as his ancestor, that he will not be deterred from contacting me if he wishes to do so.

I am to say the least surprised if seeking living relatives or the sharing of living relatives details were permitted on this list.

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday, 21st March, 1851. ECCLESIASTICAL - On Sunday last, the following gentlemen were ordained by the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, on letters dimissory from the Bishop of Exeter:- Deacon- GEORGE LAMBE, B.A., Saint John's College, Cambridge. Priest- JOHN ROBERT NANKIVELL, B.A., Exeter College, Oxon. On Sunday last, by the Bishop of Ripon:- Deacon- WILLIAM PESTER CHAPPEL, B.A., Worcester College, Oxford; who was afterwards licensed to the curacy of Garforth, near Leeds. SOCIAL TEA - On Wednesday the friends and admirers of Mr. W. O'BRYAN held a social tea meeting at Hicks Mill chapel, Gwennap, after which a public meeting took place, when Mr. T. TREGASKIS, of Basset Wharf, was called on to preside. Mr. O'Bryan gave a most interesting account of the origin and rise of that body of Christians. The meeting was also addressed by the resident minister, and several other friends; at the conclusion of which a handsome sum of money, the proceeds of the tea and collection, was presented to their old friend as a token of their esteem and regard. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GREAT EXHIBITION - Mr. C. ROGERS, late of Hayle Foundry, now in Prussia, hammersmith to Messrs. JACOBI HANNIEL, has smithed a monstrous piece of cast steel for the Great Exhibition. It is eleven inches in diameter, weights 20 cwt., and is supposed to be by far the largest piece of steel ever manufacturer. There have been shipped from the Restormel iron mines two lumps of iron ore, weighting respectively 18 cwt. and 12 cwt.; so rich and solid that it would not be imagined from their small size, they would be half that weight. PORT INSPECTION - On Saturday last, Mr. DICKENSON, one of the Commissioners of Customs, accompanied by his secretary, Mr. DAVIES, paid an official visit of inspection to the Port of Penzance; and left on Monday to pay a similar visit to St. Ives. BRIG LAUNCHED - On Tuesday last, there was launched from the building yard of Messrs. TREDWEN, at Padstow, a very handsome modelled brig, called the "Florist," 300 tons burthen, and the sole property of the builders. She is chartered for the southern trade, and will shortly sail for the river Plate. EXETER DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY - Before Mr. Commissioner Bere. At the sitting on Wednesday March 12th, the case of THOMAS DAVEY, seedsman, farmer &c., Liskeard, was heard, it being a sitting for certificate. Mr. PITTS supported the bankrupt, and Mr. STOGDON and Mr. TERRELL opposed. Mr. Stogdon examined the bankrupt, from which is appeared that in February, 1845, Mr. SYMONS, of Liskeard, butcher, owed the bankrupt GBP40, and made a transfer by way of mortgage to him, of a share in Wheal Trelawny Mine as a security, with a proviso, that the share was not to be sold within six months. The bankrupt, after the expiration of the six months, sold the share, and proceedings were taken against him in the Stannaries Court by Symons, to recover the difference between the amount of his debt, and that for which Davey sold the share. The Vice-Warden finding that Davey had sold the share without taking proceedings in the court to foreclose the mortgage, gave judgment against him for GBP104 and costs. This was in 1847, and since that time, Symons had forborne to put in execution, numerous attachments which had been issued, until about the middle of November last, on the 16th of which month, Davey expecting Symons to levy execution, filed a declaration of insolvency and obtained a petition for adjudication against his estate. It appeared also that in April last, Davey obtained the acceptance of JOHN BAKER, of Liskeard, for GBP15, which he handed to Messrs. SERCOMBE, who were creditors, to be placed to his credit, and that when the bill fell due, he received of Baker in discharge, an acceptance of one LUCAS, (which he afterwards discounted) and GBP3 in cash, but he did not forward the amount to Messrs. Sercombe in payment of the bill, though he informed Baker he had done so, but sent them a cheque on the Devon and Cornwall Bank for GBP7. 10s., which, as his account was overdrawn was not honored, and Messrs. Sercombe were not suing Baker for the GBP15. There also appeared to have been one or two preferences made immediately before the bankruptcy, though not of large amount. Mr. Stogdon addressed the court upon the facts, and contended that Davey had committed a fraud upon Symons, and had been guilty of great irregularity as to Baker's acceptance, and was not therefore entitled to the consideration of the court. Mr. Pitts, on behalf of the bankrupt, put in two or three certificates from creditors, all desirous of the bankrupt having his certificate. The Commissioner said if it had not been for the documents presented to him by Mr. Pitts, he should have refused to grant any certificate whatever, but they had to a certain degree altered his determination. He considered the present case among the worst that had ever come before him, for it appeared evident that the bankrupt had been guilty of a very great fraud upon Mr. Symons, and as to Baker's acceptance, and Messrs. Sercombe's debt, his conduct was irregular in the extreme. He should therefore suspend the certificate for two years. REDRUTH COUNTY COURT - At this court, on the 13th instant, there were several cases entered for trial, but many of them were settled out of court. The trial of HARRIS v. RICHARDS occupied the court a long time. It appeared that about ten years ago, Mr. ELISHA HARRIS, innkeeper of Redruth, purchased a farm at Forge, of one of the younger daughters (the administratrix) of the late Mr. JOHN RICHARDS, of Forge, in the parish of Redruth, for GBP160. There were two aged women whose lives were on the property, at the time it was purchased by Elisha Harris, and as there was a mortgage on the property of GBP130, the life of one of the women was insured in GBP130, by the Richards's family. The policy of assurance was also purchased by Elisha Harris; the annual premium he had to pay was GBP9 to the office. In about six months after Forge was purchased, the life which was insured died, and Elisha Harris received the GBP130. One life aged about eighty years is still on this property. JOHN RICHARDS, the son of the late John Richards, the former proprietor, claimed possession of this property merely because it once belonged to his father, and he was the eldest son. Mrs. BAWDEN the wife of Mr. Bawden, innkeeper of St. Agnes, proved that administration was offered to her brother John, (the defendant), but that he refused to have anything to do with it; that she then was obliged to take out administration herself, and to sell the property, and afterwards to pay the various debts, which were due. The wife of JOSEPH THOMAS, the tenant, proved that John Richards, his son, and his wife, came to Forge, and took out one of the windows of the house, and that he said he was come to take possession of the premises. Mr. SALTER, auctioneer, of Truro, proved that he sold the premises by auction, that the sale was well attended, and that the utmost was made of the property that could be made. Defendant appeared to have lost sight of the administration, as he imagined that no person had a right to sell the premises. Defendant had more than once, prior to the present occasion, disturbed Mr. Harris in the quiet possession of the property. Mr. Harris now sought to recover the sum of GBP2, being the cost of putting in another window and an allowance he had made to his tenant in consequence of the annoyance, and loss of the use of part of the premises, resulting from the defendant's proceedings on the 17th of February last. Mr. CHILCOTT, for the defendant, submitted that the plaintiff was out of Court, inasmuch as the action should have been brought by the tenant in the actual occupation of the premises, and not by the landlord, on the ground that the injury complained of was not of such a permanent nature as to be necessarily injurious to the landlord's reversion; that in order to enable the landlord to sue, it should have been shewn that it was done to the damage of his reversion. He quoted "Jackson v. Pesker" 1 Maule and Selwyn's reports, in support of his objection, but on perusal of this case, it was found to have been decided on another point. His Honor remarked that a landlord was bound to keep his premises in a fit state for occupation, and decided against the objection. Another objection was then taken to the jurisdiction of the court, on the ground that the title to the premises was in dispute. His Honor remarked that in every case where such an objection was raised, he was bound to inquire into and see whether there was a bona fide question of title before the court. In the present case, he believed, there was not, that the defendant had not a scintilla of title to the premises, and directed the defendant to pay 30s. and all the expenses. Mr. PASCOE appeared for the plaintiff. An insolvent, EDWIN WALES, of Redruth, received protection for another month, and in the mean time he is to amend his balance sheet. He was opposed by Mr. JAMES JENKIN, grocer, of Redruth. CAUTION TO EMIGRANTS - FORGING SIGNATURES TO EMIGRATION CERTIFICATES - On Saturday last, Mr. J. P. MAGOR, and Mr. STEPHEN DAVEY, sat in the Town-Hall, Redruth, for the purpose of hearing a charge brought under the 51st clause of the Passengers Act, 12 and 13 Victoria, cap 33, by Lieut. CAREW, R.N., her Majesty's emigration officer at Plymouth, against EDWARD MOYLE, of Trethellan Water, Gwennap, for returning a false emigration certificate to Mr. OKE, of Truro, sub-agent of the Emigration Commissioners. The prosecutor in addressing the Bench, said that her Majesty's Commissioners of Emigration, anxious to carry out the provisions of the law under which they were appointed, in such a manner as that while it relieved this country of its super-abundant labour, should at the same time, supply the colonies such a class of industrious and well-conducted labourers as we necessary to the prosperity of a newly settle country, had appoint agents on whose discretion they could rely for the purpose of selecting from among the applicants for free passages to the colonies, such persons as appeared most calculated to afford, and to derive, advantage by their emigration. These "selecting agents" appointed sub-agents in the principal industrial districts of the country, whose duty it was to receive applications, and transmit them to the selecting agents. On receiving an application, the sub-agent supplies the applicant with blank forms of certificate, which are to be signed by two householders to whom the applicant is known, and by a clergyman, a medical man, and a magistrate, attesting the soundness of the body, and the moral, and industrial character of the party, or the genuineness of the other signatures. Great importance was attached to these certificates; and it was hoped their genuineness had been sufficiently secured by the serious penalties attached to their fabrication; while at the same time the utmost facility was afforded to the obtainment of genuine papers. No charge was made for them by the sub-agent, and he hoped that in not case would a charge be made by a professional man for a certificate which should be regarded as an act of charity to a poor man, whose necessities obliged him to leave the home of his fathers in quest of a livelihood in a foreign land. Such charges were a cruel advantage taken of a poor man's necessities, and were unworthy of a liberal profession, and a temptation to such offences as that with which he charged the prisoner. Mr. Carew then called Mr. OKE, of Truro, who stated that he acted as sub-agent to Mr. WILCOCKS, of Plymouth. The prisoner personally applied to him on the 6th of February, for an emigration order for Australia. He was furnished with a form, which was returned on the 12th of February, purporting to be duly signed. The form now produced was the one so returned. Had no doubt that the prisoner returned it personally, as no mention is made in his register of its having been otherwise returned. It is always the rule to state in the register how certificates are returned, when they are not brought back by the parties who obtained them. Mr. EDWIN ROBERTS, clerk to Mr. OKE, corroborated Mr. Oke's evidence. The certificates returned were signed JOHN TUCKER as clergyman of Gwennap, and GEORGE MICHELL as surgeon. The Rev. John Tucker and Mr. George Michell, surgeon, respectively deposed that the signatures to the certificates purporting to be theirs were forgeries. This closed the case of the prosecution. The prisoner declined to ask any questions of the witnesses; and being asked if he had any defence to make, and particularly cautioned as to the use which might be made of any thing he might choose to state, said "I have nothing to say gentlemen; I didn't think there was any harm in it." He said Mr. Tucker did not know the householders whose signatures were signed to the certificate; and Mr. Michell's servant said his master would not sign a certificate unless he was paid a shilling. Mr. Michell was his bal doctor. He told the servant if he could not have it done under a shilling, he would not have it done at all. He then got another person to do it, but did not think it any harm. The magistrates consulted together for some time; after which Mr. Magor, addressing the prisoner, said the Bench was of opinion that the case had been fully proved. The offence was one which a few years ago would have involved the most disastrous consequences; and which even the milder law under which he had been convicted, left the bench no alternative but to impose a penalty, which to a man in his situation, was a very serious one. He thought the offence of which the prisoner had been guilty was wholly inexcusable. His brother magistrates and himself, of course, never thought of making a charge for attaching their signatures to such papers; and he was quite sure the professional gentlemen would be quite as unlikely to do so. The object of the legislature in passing the act was a most benevolent one, and there was ingratitude as well as folly and crime in such an utterly gratuitous offence as that of which the prisoner had been convicted. He could not believe the prisoner had a right perception of the very serious nature of the act he had committed; still it was necessary that he should suffer punishment in conviction of his own act, and as a warning to others. The bench fined him GBP5 and the expenses of the prosecution; or, in default of payment, sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment with hard labour. Mr. Tucker and Mr. Michell declining to receive any fee for their attendance to give evidence, the costs were limited to GBP1. 9s. 6d., which, together with the penalty, having been paid in the course of the day, the prisoner was discharged. PENZANCE GUILDHALL - On Monday last, four men called EDWARD PASCOE, REUBEN LIMPENNY, JOHN KNAPP, and HENRY VINGOE, all of Penzance, were charged before the Mayor, Mr. R. BRANWELL, Mr. JOSEPH CARNE, and Mr. J. J. A. BOASE, with having been concerned in the robbery which took place early on the morning of the 11th of February last, of a quantity of gold and silver watches from the shop of Mr. PETER ARTHUR, watchmaker. The parties were detected in the following manner. On the morning of Thursday last, the 13th instant, Knapp pawned a silver watch at the shop of Mr. JOSEPH, pawnbroker; and attempted to pawn a gold watch. Mr. Joseph's suspicions were excited, and leaving Knapp in the shop he went to Mr. ARTHUR, who at once returned with him. On Mr. Arthur's examining the gold watch, he at once pronounced it to be his property. Knapp, on being questioned, stated he had been employed by Pascoe and Limpenny to pawn the watches, and immediately offered to show Mr. Arthur where he had left those parties. This resulted in the apprehension of Pascoe and Limpenny, who with Knapp, were forthwith brought before the magistrates, but were remanded until Monday, to enable Mr. Arthur to procure further evidence. It afterwards appeared that the fourth prisoner, Vingoe, had been concerned in pawning a watch, he also was apprehended, and on Monday last further evidence having been adduced of some of the watches having been disposed of by Pascoe and Limpenny at Helston, all the parties were committed to take their trial at the approaching quarter sessions for the borough. HELSTON PETTY SESSIONS - At these sessions, JOHN PERRY, coltbreaker, was committed to the county gaol for six weeks, for an assault. PORCUPINE PETTY SESSIONS - At the Porcupine sessions on Monday last, before Sir COLMAN RASHLEIGH, Mr. KENDALL and Mr. GRAHAM, a man called POLSUE, keeper of a beer-shop at Traise Mill, in the parish of Tywardreath, was charged with drawing beer in prayer time and fined 50s., including costs. A great number of witnesses were examined. He was charged with a similar offence on the 17th ult., and fined GBP2 with costs, both offences having been committed on the same day. COMMITTAL - On Wednesday last, ELIZABETH PEAK was charged before Mr. D. P. LE GRICE, at Penzance, with having neglected to maintain her illegitimate child, which had thereby become chargeable to the parish of Madron. She was committed to the county gaol for one calendar month, with hard labour. SHEEP STEALING - For some months past the farmers of the neighbourhood of Helston have suffered to a great extent by having their sheep stolen. No clue to the guilty parties could be obtained until Wednesday last, when two stolen sheep were found with a respectable farmer in Breage, who it appears, purchased them of JOHN RICHARDS, a small farmer from Breage. On this being discovered, Richards fled from Breage, which gave rise to the discovery of between fifty and sixty sheep having been stolen from different parties within the last few months. The prisoner was apprehended on Saturday last, by constable SAMPSON and Mr. T. H. JOHNS of Breage, at a house in Penzance. Five charges of sheep stealing were preferred against him before the Rev. W. THOMAS, at Helston, on Monday and Tuesday last; a great number of witnesses were examined on those days, and the prisoner was full committed for trial at the coming assizes, Mr. HILL conducted the cases on the part of the several prosecutors, and Mr. PLOMER defended the prisoner. SHEEP WORRIED BY A DOG - On Monday night a very fine sheep was killed on the farm of Mr. WALTER JAMES, of Trehill, by a dog. The sheep was very near its lambing time. Unfortunately, Helston and the neighbourhood are infested with such an extraordinary number of dogs that these occurrences are not unfrequent. INCENDIARISM - On Sunday night about twelve o'clock, a rick of wood belonging to Mr. SYMONS, baker, and situate near the centre of the town of Liskeard was set fire to, it is believed by an incendiary. The fire-bell was rung, an engine was speedily on the spot, and by the exertions of a number of people the fire was soon subdued. If the night had not been calm, the fire would soon have extended to the surrounding buildings. A few nights before, the capitals of some Corinthian columns were broken in pieces. ACCIDENT - On Friday evening, as a horse and cart belonging to Mr. HOCKING, of Lelant, were standing in front of the Mount's Bay brewery, at Penzance, the horse, from some unknown cause, took fright and started at a rapid pace up East-street, until he came into collision with one of the stone posts of Mr. STEVENS's gateway. The cart was upset and partly broken, but the horses escaped with a few bruises. CORONERS' INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner; - On Wednesday the 19th instant, at the Shipwrights' Arms, Falmouth, on the body of JOSEPH DOURESKY, a foreigner, aged 18 years. The deceased had been living at the Dolphin Inn, kept by Mr. SHARP, for the last six or seven weeks, Mr. Sharp understanding that he had been sent there by the Messrs. FOX; but that was not the case. The deceased had stated that he was wrecked on board the "Alessandro Grande," near the Scilly Islands, on the 1st of January, and was sent from the islands in a packet boat to Penzance, where the consul furnished him with a letter to the consul at Falmouth. He was taken ill on Saturday last, and died on Tuesday. In consequence of rumours that the deceased had formed an acquaintance with some women of the town, and that those had threatened "to do for him," an inquest was deemed necessary; but Mr. BULLMORE, surgeon, satisfied the jury, that the deceased had not been subject to any foul or improper treatment, and that his death was caused by apoplexy. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. On the 12th instant, at Newquay, to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of a person of Saint Columb, called HEZEKIAH BUNT, about 50 years old. It appeared that the deceased had gone to consult Mr. PASCOE, surgeon of Cubert, and not finding him at home, followed him to Newquay, where he found him at the shop of Mr. MICHELL, druggist. Mr. Pascoe, on that occasion gave Bunt a draught which he immediately took. Within a few minutes afterwards the patient fell into a state of stupor from which he never rallied, and he died in about seven hours at the New Inn, whither he had been removed a few hours before he died, by order of Mr. JEWEL, surgeon, who had been sent for. The inquest was adjourned to the 14th for the result of a post mortem examination, and for the hearing of further evidence; and, on that day, was again adjourned to the 21st instant, in order that the contents of the stomach might be analysed. The following inquests have been held before Mr. JOSEPH HAMLEY, coroner:- At St. Neot, on STEPHEN KEAST, an old man, a labourer of that parish. He was sitting with some others in a public-house, in the church-town, when he suddenly fell away against the person sitting next to him, who, on lifting him up, found that he was quite dead. He was in perfect health before, and had only drank part of a pint of beer with another man. Verdict, "Visitation of God." At Tywardreath, on MARY ANN TOMS, an infant, nine months old, daughter of a miner. The child slept in a cradle by the side of her father and mother's bed. They were awoke in the night by the child crying. The mother rocked the cradle, when she thought, as the child was quiet, she would go to sleep, but, on waking in the morning, she found the child dead. Verdict, "died from natural causes."
