West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 7th March, 1851. FOR COQUIMBO, CHILI - The fine fast-sailing A 1, Ship "Chelydra," Will sail on or about the 20th instant, for Coquimbo. This vessel has good accommodations in a full poop deck, miners and others going in parties of six will have a reduction made from the usual steerage fare. Apply to N. F. CARDER, the Commander on Board; or to HENRY J. MADGE, High-street, Swansea. February 24. 1851. FOR VALPARAISO, COQUIMBO, COPIAPO, AND LIMA - The fine fast sailing Ship "Forfarshire," A 1, and Coppered, 746 Tone Register, THOMAS PLATT, Commander, will leave Falmouth for the above Ports about the 20th of next month (April). A few Cabin and Steerage Passengers can be accommodated, and there will also be room for a small quantity of goods. For freight or passage, apply to G. C. and R. W. FOX and Co., Merchants, Falmouth. 4th of 3rd month, 1851. CALIFORNIA. - For San Francisco, the splendid first-class British built barque, "Victor," Coppered and Copper-fastened, 650 tons burthen, ISAAC PUNCHARD, commander, now loading in the St. Katherine Docks, London. This vessel will meet with quick dispatch, a considerable portion of her cargo having been engaged, and from her reputation of making quick passages, offers a most desirable opportunity to shippers or passengers. A limited number of cabin passengers only will be taken at a very moderate charge. The cabins are roomy and well ventilated, and every attention will be paid to the comfort and convenience of passengers. For freight or passage, apply to SWEET, BAHE, and Co. EMIGRATION TO QUEBEC - The fine fast sailing coppered and copper-fastened first class ship "Daedalus," 650 tons burthen, THOMAS BULLMAN, Commander, will leave Padstow on or about the 10th of April next for Quebec, and will take both cabin and steerage passengers. The "Daedalus" is a regular trader, has a comfortable poop cabin, and airy, spacious, and lofty between decks, which will be fitted up in every way calculated to ensure the health and comfort of passengers. The fortunate passages of this favourite vessel are well known, and as she is the finest ship leaving Padstow this spring, persons intending to emigrate, are advised to inspect her before engaging their passage. The passage money will be very moderate, and the passengers will be plentifully supplied with provisions and water according to the Act. The advantages of Padstow as a port of departure are well known and appreciated by all connected with the county of Cornwall, as vessels sailing from thence have often from its situation, been many days less on their passage than those which have been advertised to leave other ports. This is therefore well worthy the attention of all about to emigrate. Apply to Mr. HENRY HICKS, Newquay; Mr. S. WORDEN, Amble; Mr. N. KEAT, Delabole; Mr. JAMES BRENTON, Rock Quay; or SEATON, BRYANT and Co., Padstow. February 25, 1851. EMIGRATION TO AMERICA - Direct from Penzance to New York. The fine A.E. 1. fast sailing ship "Mountaineer," 900 tons burthen, C. H. CAREY, commander, will, weather permitting, sail from Penzance on the 1st of April next. The "Mountaineer" has very superior accommodations for both Cabin and Steerage Passengers, her between decks are lofty; every precaution will be taken to promote the health and comfort of the passengers by regularly fumigating the ship during the voyage, and finding them with provisions at the ship's expense, until the arrival of the vessel at New York. The Captain is well experienced in the trade, and the passengers of last year having expressed their entire confidence in the Master, presented him with a letter of thanks for his kindness and attention on the voyage, signed on behalf of all the passengers, by RICHARD ELLIS, SIMON HARRIS, and JAMES EADE; also, representing the supplies and provisions to be quite satisfactory and of the best quality; the first part of the voyage was tempestuous, but all the passengers were landed safe and well, in thirty-five days; the sailing of the "Mountaineer" on the 1st of April affords an excellent opportunity for passengers to any part of the United States. The Owner will give letters to Farmers and Mechanics, to parties in Michigan and Utica, who can put them in the way of procuring employment; and to those desirous of settling in lands, how to manage for farms to the best advantage. To Miners also, this affords a favourable opportunity, and the Owner being acquainted with some of the Proprietors of mines, letters of recommendation will be given to passengers who can produce satisfactory testimonials of character, &c. As the "Mountaineer" will take only a limited number of passengers, an early application should be made to the Owner, at Treneere; W. C. HEMMINGS, Penzance; THOMAS CORFIELD, Penryn; WILLIAM BROWNE, St. Austell; L. NEWTON, jun., Camborne; and at the office, Roseworthy. Dated February 25, 1851. HELSTON INSTITUTION - On Tuesday, Mr. THOMAS REED delivered a lecture on Phonography, or the system of short hand invented by Mr. PITMAN, of Bath. A spirited discussion followed, and at the close a cordial vote of thanks was given to the lecturer. HURLING AT ST. COLUMB - The annual hurling between the town and countrymen of this parish, came off on Shrove Tuesday, and the sport which it afforded to all who joined in the game, was excellent, and by far exceeded any former hurling in the remembrance of that respected individual "the oldest inhabitant." A very handsome silver ball was presented to the hurlers, by a generous and much esteemed gentleman, which insured a very large attendance, and throughout the day there was a general aspect of excitement as to whether the Town or the Country would have the honour of first winning the new ball, which no previous hurling has tended to produce. In the race of competition, the countrymen occasionally got the start, but after about two hours smart hurling, the townsmen made up by their unceasing and usual activity, and other equally valuable qualities in the field, and succeeded in putting the ball in the goal. This annual play-day was attended by multitudes of all ages, and among the lookers on, it was pleasing to see many who had been principal actors in the self-same game, forty, fifty, and even sixty years ago, and from the interest taken by these veterans, it was evident they could feel that it was pleasant to be but for a few brief moments young again. PLANE TRIGONOMETRY - The following notice of a work on Plane Trigonometry by the Rev. J. W. COLENSO, son of Mr. Colenso, of Lostwithiel, is extracted from the Morning Chronicle of Friday last:- "We are glad to see that Mr. Colenso has contributed another volume to his very useful and popular series of works on elementary mathematics. Every body had read, or ought to have read, his "arithmetic." Its soundness and accuracy have already secured for it a reception in every well-conducted school in England; and its lively and entertaining examples almost claim for it a place on the drawing-room table among the diverting and ingenious recreations of charades and Chinese puzzles. His "Geometrical problems" appended to the "elements of Euclid, and his "Algebra," are no less valuable, and scarcely less known to the mathematical student than his "arithmetic" to well educated youth in general. It is peculiarly a matter of congratulation to the public, in this day of learned and pedantic quackery, that Mr. Colenso continues to extend his labours in the field of mathematical instruction, in which we know no one so competent to smooth the way to useful and exact knowledge. In this first part of Plane Trigonometry he fully maintains the character he has established of unrivalled success in the selection and construction of apt and interesting examples, by the aid of which alone mathematical theories become familiar and practical. His proofs and illustrations, too are written with clearness and perspicuity; and many of them with more ingenuity and originality than we are accustomed to see in works of the kind. In one or two places we fancy that we could suggest a little compression, and in a few others slight amendment; but we doubt not that in a future edition, Mr. Colenso will, with his usual care and accuracy, render useless any such minute criticism. We are thankful for what he has already done, and wish him success in a long career of usefulness." PENDENNIS GARRISON - The detachment of the 4th or King's Own Regiment, which is the Grenadier Company, under the command of Captain WELHAM, and Lieutenants RAMSBOTTOM and THOMPSON, were superseded on Tuesday last, by the Battalion Company, No. 5, under the command of Captain BARSLEY, and Lieutenants MAUNSELL and SKINNER. The detachment was brought from Plymouth by H.M. steamer "Stork," who also took the other detachment to Plymouth. ROYAL MARINES - We understand that Mr. ANDREW JOHN BUCKINGHAM HAMBLY, of the Royal Marines, eldest son of the late Captain P. S. HAMBLY, R.N., formerly of Penryn, and late of Longbrooke House, Plympton, Devon, has just received his promotion as Captain in that corps. VICE-CONSULAR APPOINTMENT - Mr. FRANCIS BANFIELD has been appointed Vice-Consul at the Scilly Islands, for the kingdom of Prussia. AEROLITE - A correspondent states that Mr. BAWDEN, of Alternun, has an aerolite, for which he has been offered GBP50, but is indisposed to part with it. He intends to send or take it to the Great Exhibition in London. It was seen to fall from the sky during a thunder storm; the person who saw it fall had a pick in his hand, and dug after it about eighteen inches under the surface of the earth, and when he found it, it was warm and smelt strongly of sulphur. It is of a greyish colour and about 3 lbs in weight. LAUNCESTON COUNTY COURT - This court was held on Wednesday last before Mr. PRAED, when there were twenty-eight cases entered for trial. BRIGHTEN v. MULES. This action was brought to recover a beer score; plaintiff keeps the Exeter Inn, at Launceston, and defendant is a cabinet maker of the same town. Defendant was summoned for GBP6. 18s. 9d., for beer which he had drunk during his visits at the Inn. His Honor gave judgment for plaintiff with costs, the case having occupied the court several hours. SINGULAR APPLICATION - At the Bristol Police Office on Wednesday last, a respectable looking man, whose name was not stated, applied for advice to the bench under the following circumstances:- About a year and a half ago he came to Bristol from St. Austell, in Cornwall, where he had carried on an ironmongery business, for the purpose of obtaining a situation; but failing in his expectations, by the advice of his friends he determined on emigrating to Australia. He applied to Messrs. C. F. THOMAS and Co., emigration agents of Bristol; but those gentlemen, having no ship proceeding to Australia, he closed with an offer made to him of going to New York by their next ship. They accepted as security for his passage-money the ticket of a gold watch which he valued at GBP12. 12s., and a gold chain work GBP5. 5s. On the morning on which the ship sailed, however, he happened to be too late to start with her, and was consequently left behind. The same night he accidentally broke his leg by falling down in the public streets, and was confined in the Infirmary for four months. Believing the watch and chain to be in safe hands, on coming out of the Infirmary in May last, he went to Bath to look for a situation there; soon afterwards, on returning to Bristol, he fell down and broke his leg a second time. He subsequently ascertained that during that time the Messrs Thomas had taken the watch out of pledge, and with it they retained the chain, and two keys, one of which was worth five shillings, and the other he valued as being a present from his brother. All these things the Messrs. Thomas had still in their possession for nothing at all, and he wished the bench to inform him how he should proceed to procure their restitution. Mr. BURGES (magistrates' +clerk) remarked that the applicant first of all agreed for the passage, as security for which he deposited the ticket and chain, and then was too late for it, apparently by his own negligence. Mr. LANGTON inquired what was the amount of the passage money? The applicant replied GBP5. A friend of his had tendered Mr. Thomas the amount he (Mr. T.) had paid to redeem the watch, and Mr. T. had promised to return it; but, unfortunately, he had been made a bankrupt since. He believed Mr. Thomas had sole the chain to his mother-in-law. The bench said they could not assist the applicant except by advising him to apply to an attorney. TRURO POLICE - On Saturday last, THOMAS DUNSTAN STEPHENS, cabinet-maker, was committed for trial at the Assizes, for stealing a quantity of lead, the property of Mr. STOKES, solicitor, Mr. JEREMIAH REYNOLDS, merchant, and others. The lead was stolen from over the porch of the Music-hall in Kenwyn-street. On Thursday the 6th instant, PHILIP ROWE, of Truro, cordwainer, and FRANCIS KELLOW BENNALLACK, carpenter, were committed for trial for stealing lead from the dwelling-house at Coosbean Paper Mills, (about half a mile from Truro), the property of the representatives of the late Lord VIVIAN. The robbery was committed on the 4th instant, the lead having been stolen from the roofing behind the chimneys, and sold to WILLIAM BURRIDGE, a dealer in marine stores at Truro. Another man named JAMES VARCOE, was remanded on the same charge until Friday for the production of further evidence. On the same day, JAMES HENRY HAINES, of St. Columb, brush-maker, was committed for stealing a yard of duck, the property of RICHARD HAWKEY, of Roscolla-mill, in the parish of Kenwyn. PENZANCE POLICE - On Monday last, RICHARD DAVY, of St. Just, PETER BOASE, and RICHARD HOCKIN, were fined, the first 5s. and the others 7s. 6d. and expenses, for furious driving in the streets. The Mayor cautioned the parties as to the great danger of such practices and the impropriety of driving without reins. JOHN OLDS, the recently appointed Inspector of Weights and measures for the borough, entered into his own recognisances of GBP200 for the proper performance of the duties of his said office. ROBBERIES - On Thursday morning the 27th ult., about nine o'clock, as the wife of a man called TREBILCOCK, was journeying from Bojewyan, in St. Just, to Madron, she was stopped by two men, who demanded her basket. This she gave them, but on their finding nothing of consequence in it, they insisted on her giving them all the money she had with her. She then cried for help, on which one of the men presented a knife, and swore he would cut her throat if she spoke again, and the other held her tightly by her clothes. All the money the poor woman had with her amounted to GBP2. 8s., which was in a small purse, and this they took from her. This took place in a large croft between Morvah, and the village of Bossullow, and as it was market day at Penzance, it would seem that the fellows had been on the look out thus early in the morning for the country people, who would be going to market. The woman states that from their manner of speaking she knew they were not of the neighbourhood, and believes she should know them again, but no trace of them has yet been discovered. The poor woman has been confined to her bed since the occurrence. A most daring and impudent robbery was committed about nine o'clock on Monday morning last, in a small and lonely cot at Trevassack, near Hayle. A poor woman, the wife of a labouring man named PETER COURAGE, who was at that time working at Messrs. HARVEY's factory, had just relieved a man who described himself as a navvie in search of work, when a ruffianly looking fellow entered the dwelling and begged relief. The woman told him she was not in a position to relieve him, having just given a loaf of bread to one of his comrades. He then asked permission to light his pipe, but whilst in the act he seized the nearest loaf then lying on the shelf and was about leaving the premises when the woman raised an alarm, the only member of the family at home being an infant about two years old. Immediately on her making such an attempt, the ruffian seized her by the neck, tore her cap, dishevelled her hair, threw her to the ground and instantly decamped. The fellow appeared to be about five feet eight inches high, of sandy coloured hair, and huge whiskers, and wore at the time a blue velvet waistcoat with several rows of buttons, and a "barragon" jacket containing large and deep pockets; and appeared to be without shirt of neckerchief. There is as yet no clue to his apprehension. COMMITTAL - On Tuesday last, MARY STEPHENS, of St. Austell, was committed by Mr. TREMAYNE, to the House of Correction, at Bodmin, for seven days, as an idle and disorderly person, for allowing her three children to become chargeable to the parish of St. Austell. ATTEMPTED HOUSEBREAKING - On Monday morning the 24th ult., about two o'clock, the inmates at the residence of Mr. CAMPBELL, at Treneere, near Penzance, were alarmed by sounds as if some persons were endeavouring to effect an entrance into the house, and by the loud barking of the dogs. Search was made for the suspected depredators, but none were found. STOLEN PROPERTY FOUND - The cash box with the policy of insurance was stolen from the house of Mr. WILLIAM VERREN, at Holmbush, near Callington, was found, a few days since, in a field not far from the house whence it was stolen. There is no clue as yet, to the party who committed the robbery. SHIPPING DISASTER - On Saturday last, during a strong breeze from the north, the schooner "St. Agnes," of St. Agnes, NANKIVELL, master, in attempting, at a little more than half tide, to run for the pier at St. Agnes, struck the bottom when near the entrance of the basin, which caused her to lurch against the pier-head with such force that she recoiled with the blow, and consequently, having lost all way was driven by the rolling sea ashore on the beach; but fortunately assistance was soon at hand, and by means of warps from the pier, aided by the flowing tide, she was soon got off and drawn into the quay. The ship sustained but little damage, but a lad who was in the rigging when the vessel struck, was thrown off by the shock and fell upon the deck, by which he broke an arm and put his elbow out of joint, and otherwise sustained severe injuries. He was, however, promptly attended to and having obtained the necessary medical assistance, is now doing favourably. CHILD BURNT - At Carne, in the parish of Veryan, on Saturday last, a child about eight years of age, belonging to THOMAS JULIAN, was so dreadfully burnt by the igniting of her clothes, that her life is in great danger. ACCIDENT - On Tuesday evening last, an accident happened to Captain DELBRIDGE, who was riding down the street at Redruth at a rapid pace, when his horse came in contact with a cart at the bottom of the town. The horse was so severely injured that it died on the following morning. Captain Delbridge also received some considerable injuries, and was removed on the following day to his residence at Gwinear. MINE ACCIDENT - A miner named STEPHEN TREVENA, sustained severe injuries in consequence of a scale of ground falling on him whilst at work in South Pink mine, on Monday last, and but for the assistance of his comrade, by whom he was speedily got out, the accident would have proved fatal. SELF DESTRUCTION - A sailor named THOMAS WALLIS, of St. Just, had been paid off from the "Sophia," of Penzance, at Sligo, whence he proceeded to Dublin, and after remaining there a day or two, cut his throat in a fit of temporary insanity. A coroner's jury has returned a verdict to that effect. FATAL ACCIDENT - On Saturday evening, as a man called OLIVER, was returning from Helston market, when about half-a-mile from the town, he heard a cart behind him coming up at a rapid pace, and although the poor fellow moved out of the centre of the road, at this very spot the horse swerved from the direct line, and the pole of the cart coming in contact with the man's body, he was knocked down, and the wheel passing over his head, he died almost immediately. An inquest was held before Mr. HICHENS, on Monday and it having been proved that it was a young spirited horse, and that the person driving it, had lost all control over it, a verdict of "accidental death," was returned. CORONER'S INQUEST - On Saturday last, an inquest was held by Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner, at Andevore-veor, in the parish of Philleigh, on the body of JANE ANN RICKARD, aged about five years. It appeared that on Friday last, shortly after her parents had bone out into a field near their house to draw some turnips, leaving the deceased, and a sister between six and seven years of age, in the house by themselves, the former, in attempting to unhook a crook from above the grate, caught her pinafore on fire. Her sister in vain attempted to put it out, and the deceased then ran out and lay on the ground until all her clothes were consumed. She then rose up and walked into the house, and sat in the window seat, where she was found by Mr. DINGLE, the tenant of the farm. Mr. PRYNNE, surgeon, was sent for, but she was so much burnt that remedies were unavailable, and she died in a few hours. She did not appear to suffer any pain. Verdict, "accidental death."

Can I find the 1851 census for St. Ives online?   Ernie

I have written to Ivor privately However, in case anybody else wants to know. If you select "Person Search" then put either 18, 17, 16 as the year - no extra numbers and then the Surname it will throw up all the entries there are, Bapt, Mges etc, etc. for the specific Surname. This will, however, only give the first page and not the second page with additional information but at least you will get all entries.

Myra That's a shame. I had figured out how to do what I wanted by searching century by century and copying the results to Excel. I could then sort the data by name, parish and date to get what I wanted. Unfortunately, I don't think my eyes or wrists are up to doing the job for every name beginning with HUN. Michael is quite right, the OPC database only accepts % as a wildcard and no other operators (such as AND or OR). Unfortunately, Ivor's search should produce even more results than he has found so far, because an early spelling of the surname was HUN. Ivor

Your best method is to restrict your search by years. This is a little tedious if you are looking at a very common name and as you have to leave the parish blank, you will get Calstock people as well.

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 28th February, 1851. Part Two ARSON - On Monday last, JOHN WILLIAMS, of St. Stephens in Branwell, was brought before Mr. E. COODE, jun., charged with having on the 18th instant, maliciously set fire to a rick of hay and mow of corn, the property of Mr. PHILIP WILLIAMS of Resugga Lane End, St. Stephens. There is no doubt the fire was the act of an incendiary. Tracks of footsteps were visible near the corn; two sheaves which had been taken from the mow the same afternoon and laid near had been evidently removed and there were many circumstances which excited strong suspicion against the prisoner, but nothing to warrant his committal. He was therefore discharged. The value of the corn and hay burnt is about GBP30. TRURO POLICE - On Saturday last, a lad called HENRY FARR, living in Goodwives' Lane, was committed under the Juvenile Offenders' Act for a month to hard labour, on the charge of stealing a watch from WILLIAM WALE, shoemaker. Prosecutor lives in Goodwives' Lane only a few doors from the prisoner. He closed his door on Friday evening, but left it unlocked, and went down into the town; whilst he was absent, prisoner went in and took the watch. In the evening he sold the case for 3s. 6d. to Mr. SCHWERER in the Church-lane; and Mr. Schwerer sold it next day as old silver to a Jew whom he did not know. Prisoner sold the body of the watch for 3s. and an accordion to ISAAC LUDFORD, keeper of a bazaar open near the White Hart. Ludford's wife took the watch to Mr. EDWARDS, jeweller, &c., and wished to exchange it for a smaller one for her little girl. Mr. Edwards having received information from the police that a watch had been stolen, detained this watch and sent to the police station, in consequence of which the prisoner was afterwards apprehended. BARTLETT PASCOE, who was apprehended with two others for fowl stealing from the premises of Mr. COLLINS, at Truthan, has been admitted to bail, to appear and answer the charge at the ensuing assizes. DARING ROBBERY AT PROBUS - On Friday morning last, between one and two o'clock, Mr. THOMAS STEPHENS's mill was unexpectedly struck idle, in consequence of a deficiency of water. The miller supposing that some portion of the mill leat had broken out, was induced to lock up and secure the mill, and retire to rest. But on examination by day light, it was discovered that the hatch for letting out water had been drawn up, evidently with the desire to induce the miller to leave the mill; and on further examination, Mr. Stephens found that every door and window had been wrenched with an iron bar; but these being too securely fastened, the thief then finding his way to a door on the ground floor, situated at the back part of the mill, he there used such violence with an iron two-bail and the coulter of a plough, as to break the door in pieces. After ransacking the mill, he succeeded in carrying off some wheaten meal, but what beside, it is not easy to ascertain. We regret to say the thief is not as yet detected. ST. Ives - For some time past this town and neighbourhood have been infested with a number of beggars, many of them strong and sturdy men. On Thursday last, a fellow answering the name of JAMES MOORE, was more than ordinarily impudent in his vocation, and information having been given of his conduct, he was apprehended in the evening at the house of one PETER LUGG, who is in the habit of lodging beggars. The next morning (Friday), Moore was brought before the magistrates for the borough, and was by them committed to Bodmin for one month at hard labour, as an idle and disorderly person. The bench expressed their determination to endeavour to put a stop to vagrancy in the borough, by inflicting on those that may be brought before them the utmost punishment that they are empowered to do; and have caused notice to be given to Lugg of their intention to fine him in the full penalty, if he be know to harbour vagrants in future. HIGHWAY ROBBERY - On the night of Friday last, a young man called GEORGE BRYANT, of Trelyon, near St. Ives, when on his way home from the town, between ten and eleven o'clock, was attacked by a man who he succeeded in beating off, but before he could get away two others came up, and having knocked him down and beaten him with a stone until he was senseless, they robbed him of GBP2. 9s. 0d., being nearly the whole of his pay, received at one of the neighbouring mines in the course of that day. The thieves have not yet been detected. Bryant's clothes were literally torn from his back. COMMITTAL - On Saturday last, MATTHEW RICH, of Mevagissey, was committed by Mr. TREMAYNE, to the house of correction to be kept to hard labour for three weeks, for running away from the St. Austell Union Workhouse, and taking with him sundry articles of clothing, the property of the Guardians. A NOTORIOUS CHARACTER - A woman called SARAH YEO has been committed by the magistrates at Launceston to the county gaol, for three months hard labor, she having assaulted one of the inmates of the Union. This is the nineteenth time she has been sent to prisoner for various offences. VILLAINOUS OUTRAGE - On Monday last, about half-past eight in the evening, some malicious scoundrel discharged a gun or pistol into the window of Mr. JOHN WAYLIN, builder, Carharrack. It is supposed that the pistol or gun was fired by some one on horseback, as two persons were seen riding furiously from the direction of the house immediately after the report was heard. A reward has been offered by Mr. Waylin for information which may lead to the conviction of the offender. ACCIDENTS - On Friday last, a young man named JAMES HAMBLY, employed at Messrs. HARVEY and CO's. Factory, Hayle, had his hand much bruised at the steam grinding stone, and his fingers much injured, one of them so seriously that it was obliged to be amputated close to the hand. On Saturday last, a young man named NICHOLAS BRYANT, employed at Messrs. SANDYS, CARNE, and VIVIAN's Factory, whilst attending to the planing machine, his hand be some means became entangled in the machinery, and one of his fingers sustained such injury that a part of it was obliged to be amputated. On Monday last, one of the men employed on the West Cornwall Railway, named PATRICK O'CALLAGHAN, was engaged in lowering a large tank, when the tackle gave way, and the tank fell, and struck his right leg, causing a compound fracture just above the ankle. The above cases are under the care of Dr. R. O. MILLETT, of Penpol, and are going on favourably. As a poor man named EDWARD HUTHOR, of Treloweth, was on Wednesday last, attending with others to a thrashing machine belonging to Messrs. HOSKING, at Gunwin, in the parish of Lelant, while in the act of thrusting a wad of straw to stop the drum after the horses had ceased to move the machine, his arm was drawn in by the drum and was smashed so dreadfully that the medical gentlemen in attendance deemed an immediate amputation necessary, a little below the elbow. NARROW ESCAPE FROM BEING POISONED - At Launceston, a short time since, a little girl named MARTHA BLEWITT, nearly lost her life under the following circumstances:- Some one had given her a penny, with which she procured a bottle of scent, marked on the label, "Essence of Jasmine." When playing at home, in the midst of her brothers and sisters, she placed the bottle to her lips and swallowed a small portion of the contents. Immediately she complained of a bitter taste in the mouth, and a burning pain in the stomach; in the course of a few minutes was taken very ill, vomited, grew speechless, and insensible. Convulsions came on, with locked jaw and rigid contraction of various muscles. Paroxysms returned with increasing severity, and had not reached their worst until after the expiration of an hour. About this time medical aid was called in, when it was all but too late to do any good. However the stomach was emptied of its contents by means of a strong emetic, and in about half an hour more the convulsions subsided and consciousness returned. The next morning she was perfectly recovered. The quantity of liquid gone from the bottle was not at most more than thirty drops, and some of this was rejected very shortly after being swallowed, the poison therefore must have been extremely virulent. That it was not essence of jasmine, is evident from the price of that article, viz., four shillings an ounce; and that it contained neither oil of bitter almonds nor prussic acid, was ascertained by chemical testing. Such virulent substances ought not to be sold without poison marked on the label. (newspaper creased here -) CORONERS' INQUESTS - On Monday an inquest was held by Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner, at the George and Dragon Inn, St. Austell-street, Truro, on the body of WILLIAM GATLEY, aged 50 years, who hung himself to a beam in a linhay behind his house on Clement-street, on Sunday morning. From the evidence, it appeared that the deceased had until recently, been a quiet and industrious man; but that lately, there had been a great deal of quarrelling in his family, and he had become quite an altered man. William Gatley, jun., son of the deceased, deposed as follows: I lived with my father, mother, sister, and little brother. My father was in the habit of getting up about five o'clock in the mornings. I heard him go down stairs yesterday morning about ten minutes past five. He called to my brother who was sleeping with me, for the keys of the cow-house: they were given to him, and he then went down stairs. My brother got up and went down stairs about twenty minutes past five; he found that father had gone out backward, and waited for him to come in; after waiting for some time, and father not coming in, he called up to me to know what he should do; I told him to go out and see where he was. He said he was afraid; he called out to father that it was past six o'clock, but received no answer. I then got up and went down, and on going out backward, I saw the linhay doors open. On looking in, I saw deceased hanging to a beam; I was afraid to go in, and went out into the street and called for assistance. WILLIAM ISAAC and WILLIAM THOMAS came in, and the former cut him down. My father had been complaining of his head for the last three or four days; he had been in a very depressed state of mine; he was in arrear of rent and fancied he was going back in the world. His manner had been such of late that I had suspicion of what had happened, when I found he was out backward so long. One of the jurymen asked the witness whether there had not been a good deal of quarrelling, and whether he had not given his father a black eye last Thursday. Witness denied that he had; he said that the black eye which the jury had seen was caused by one of the cows kicking his father as he was righting up the bedding. The witness admitted that he and his father had a quarrel on Thursday, and that after his father had thrown a cabbage at him, he seized him by the collar and shook him; but he denied that he struck him. MARTIN TEAGUE, one of the jurymen, deposed:- On Thursday last, deceased called to me, told me he was in difficulties and expected to have a distress put in that day for tithes. He appeared to be greatly excited, and requested me to accompany him into Ferris's public-house, as he wanted to tell me more. He then told me that he was a ruined man, and stated many things concerning his wife and his son William, and their conduct towards him, and said he must separate from his wife. From his manner on that occasion, witness had no doubt that he was beside himself. THOMAS JENKIN, stated that on Friday he saw deceased, who was then in a very excited state, and said he should sell every thing he had, and after paying his debts go into the Union-house. He complained of injuries which he said his son had inflicted on him - a black eye, a cut on the back part of his head, and some injuries to his teeth; but he said he should give out that the cow had kicked him, that the public might not know there had been family quarrels. He was then in a very excited state and crying. William Isaac, deposed to his having been informed soon after six o'clock on Sunday morning, by William Gatley, that his father had hung himself and to his having proceeded immediately to the linhay, and where he cut him down. He was hanging from a beam, by a bit of cord, his legs just touching the ground; he was quite dead. - Verdict, "temporary insanity." The following inquest has been held before Mr. HICHENS, county coroner:- On Saturday last, in the parish of Wendron, on the body of MARY PATTEN, aged 83 years, who was found dead in her bed on the preceding day. The deceased lived alone in a dwelling-house having two apartments, but she and one ALICE GOLDSWORTHY who occupied the other part of the house went to their bed-rooms by the same flight of stairs. The deceased, who was in her usual good health on Thursday, went to bed that evening about six o'clock, and the following morning Alice Goldsworthy, as she was accustomed to do, called to her at her bed-room door, which was closed, and getting no answer after several repetitions she became alarmed and went in search of some one from an adjoining house. She soon met with a person named MARY PHILLIPS, who accompanied her to the deceased's bed-room where they found her in bed lifeless, having apparently been dead some hours. The jury returned a verdict "found dead," but not the lease doubt was entertained that the deceased's death was a natural one. The following inquests have been held before Mr. HAMLEY, county coroner:- On Tuesday last, at the Lunatic Asylum, Bodmin, on SUSAN JAMES, a patient. It appeared that she was admitted as a pauper lunatic from Illogan, about a year and half since. She was subject to epileptic fits. On the morning of the 24th, the night nurse in going into her room found her sleeping and apparently well. On another nurse going into her room about seven o'clock she found her out over the bed. The nurse got assistance, put her into bed, and sent for Mr. TYERMAN, the surgeon, who promptly attended and found her dead. Mr. Tyerman deposed to the jury, that she had frequent epileptic fits, was a very stout young woman, and predisposed to apoplexy, which caused her death. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. On the same day, at Charlestown, in the parish of St. Austell, on THOMAS HOSKING, a lad eleven years of age who was supposed to have died from a blow received from a man named LEE, sometime before. GRACE HOSKING deposed, that she was a widow and mother of the deceased. He had always been a healthy boy. About three weeks since he was taken ill and complained of his head. She thought it was a cold, and went to Mr. VAWDREY, surgeon, and got some medicine; but he still complained of his head. Three days before he died Mr. Vawdrey came to see him, and asked witness whether she knew that her son had ever received any injury in the head. She told him no. He asked her that question every time he came; and she always told him that she had never heard that he had received any injury. WILLIAM UREN, a boy aged fourteen, said - I was at work at Bucklers mine. The deceased Thomas worked there also. About a month since, we were working with a miner called NICHOLAS LEE, doing something about the stamps. Lee told deceased to do something to the lifter; deceased said he could not raise it, when Lee struck him on the head with the mallet which he had in his hand, but whether with the iron part of the handle, I could not tell. He worked afterwards with me and never complained, and did not appear to be hurt. He has done so ever since until last week and played with the other boys as usual. I never said anything about Lee striking him to any one but JANE VIVIAN, a girl who works at the mine, until I heard of his death. Jane Vivian said she worked at Buckler's Mine. About three weeks since Uren told her that Lee had struck deceased with a mallet. She had seen him frequently since at the mine. Mr. Vawdrey, surgeon, deposed that about three weeks since, Grace Hosking came to him for some opening medicine for her son, as she thought he had a cold. About six days since I was called to see him. I found him in a state of insensibility, as I considered, from fracture on the brain. I asked if he had ever received any injury on the head. He mother said no; I think it was in consequence of his walking some distance in a cold day without his hat. I told her I thought he was in the greatest danger, and saw him from time to time until his death. I found him in the same state, and always asked the mother whether he had received a blow; but she always said no. Since the boy's death a report has come out that Lee had struck him with a mallet, in consequence of which I deemed it necessary that an inquest should be held. I have now by order from the coroner, made a post mortem examination. I have found no external marks of violence whatever; nor is there any fracture of the skull. On opening the head I found the brain gorged with blood, and the whole of it a mass of disease, which was the cause of his death, and that the blow could not have had anything to do with it. The jury were satisfied and returned a verdict that he died from natural causes. THE LAND'S END - Leaving the Logan Stone, we next shaped our course for the Land's End. We stopped on our way, to admire the desolate pile of rocks and caverns which form the towering promontory, called "Tol-Peden-Penwith;" or, "The Holed Headland on the Left." Thence, turning a little island, passing over wild, pathless moors, occasionally catching distant glimpses of the sea, with the mist sometimes falling thick down to the very edges of the waves; sometimes parting mysteriously and discovering distant crags of granite rising shadowy out of the foaming waters - we reached, at last, the limits of our outward journey, and saw the Atlantic before us, rolling against the westernmost extremity of the shores of England." Before you, the wide, wild ocean stretches gloriously and afar; the largest of the Scilly Islands being barely discernible on the extreme horizon, on clear days. Tracts of heath; fields where corn is blown by the wind into mimic waves; downs, valleys, and crags, mingle together picturesquely and confusedly, until they are lost in the distance, on your left. On your right is a magnificent bay, bounded at either extremity by far-stretching promontories, starting upward from a beach of the purest white sand, on which the yet whiter foam of the surf is ever seething, as waves on waves break altogether, in long and regular order, one behind the other. The whole bold view possesses all the sublimity that vastness and space can bestow; but it is that sublimity which is to be seen, not described, which the heart may acknowledge and the mind contain, but which no mere words may delineate, which even painting itself may be faintly reflect. However, it is, after all, the walk to the Land's End along the southern coast, rather than the Land's End itself, which displays the grandest combinations of scenery in which this grandest part of Cornwall abounds. There nature appears in her most triumphant glory and beauty - there, every mile, as you proceed, offers some new prospect, or awakens some fresh impression. All objects that you meet with, great and small, moving and motionless, seem united in perfect harmony to form a scene which presents a wild primeval aspect - a scene where original images might still be found by the poet; and where original pictures are waiting, ready composed for the painter's eye. On approaching the wondrous landscapes between Trereen and the Land's End, the first characteristic that strikes you, is the change that has taken place in the forms of the cliffs since you left the Lizard Head. You no longer look on variously shaped and variously coloured 'serpentine' rocks; it is granite, and granite alone, that you see everywhere - granite, less lofty and less eccentric in form than the 'serpentine' cliffs and crags, but presenting an appearance of adamantine solidity and strength, a mighty breadth of outline and an unbroken vastness of extent, nobly and impressively adapted to the purpose of protecting the shores of Cornwall, where they are most exposed to the fury of the Atlantic waves. In these wild districts, the sea rolls and roars in fiercer agitation than ever; and the mists fall thicker, and, at the same time fade and change faster, than elsewhere. Vessels pitching heavily in the waves, are seen to dawn, at one moment, in the clearing atmosphere - and then, at another, to fade again mysteriously, as it abruptly thickens like phantom ships. Up on the tops of the cliffs, furze and heath in brilliant clothing of purple and yellow, cluster close round great white, weird masses of rock, dotted fantastically with patches of grey-green moss. The solitude on these heights is unbroken - no houses are to be seen - often, no pathway is to be found. You go on, guided by the sight of the sea, when the sky brightens fitfully; and by the sound of the sea, when you stray instinctively from the edge of the cliff, as mist and darkness gather once more densely and solemnly all around you. Then, when you discover a path again - a winding path, that descends rapidly - you gradually enter on a new scene. Old horses startle you, scrambling into perilous situations, to pick dainty bits by the hill side; sheep, fettered by the fore and hind leg, hobble away desperately as you advance. Suddenly, you discern a small strip of beach shut in snugly between protecting rocks. A spring bubbles down from an inland valley. Not far off, an old stone well collects the water into a calm, clear pool - sturdy little cottages, built of rough granite, and thickly thatched, stand near you - gulls' and cormorants' eggs are set in their loop-holed windows for ornament; great white sections of fish hang thickly together on their walls to dry, looking more like many legs of many dirty duck trousers, than anything else - pig-styes are hard by the cottages, either formed by the Cromlech stones of the druids, or excavated like caves in the side of the hill. Down on the beach, where the rough old fishing boats lie, the sand is entirely formed by countless multitudes of the tiniest, fairy-like shells, often as small as pin's head, and all exquisitely tender in colour and wonderfully varied in form. Up the lower and flatter parts of the hills above fishing nets are stretched to dry. While you stop to look forth, over the quiet, simple scene, wild little children peep out at you in astonishment; and hard-working men and women greet you with a hearty Cornish salutation, as you pass near their cottage doors. You walk a few hundred yards inland, up the valley, and discover in a retired sheltered situation, the ancient village church, with its square grey tower surmounted by moss-grown turrets, with its venerable Saxon stone cross in the churchyard - where the turf graves rise humbly by twos and threes, and where the old coffin-shaped stone stands midway at the entrance gates, still used, as in former times, by the bearers of a rustic funeral. Appearing thus amid the noblest scenery, as the simple memorial of the prayers of a simple race, this is a church which speaks of religion in no formal or sectarian tone - which appeals to the heart of every traveller, be his creed what it may, in loving and solemn accents; and sends him on his way again, up the mighty cliffs, and through the mist driving cloud-like over them, the better fitted for his journey forward here - the better fitted, it may be, even for that other dread journey of one irrevocable moment - the last he shall ever take to his abiding-place among the spirits of the dead! These are some of the attractions which home rambles can offer to tempt the home traveller; for these are the impressions produced, and the incidents presented during a walk to the Land's End. - Rambles beyond Railways, by W. WILKIE COLLINS. UNITED STATES AND CANADA - We have accounts from New York on the 8th inst. The papers are full of articles relative to the fate of the United States steam-ship "Atlantic." Deeper gloom had been caused by the arrival of the "Canada" at Halifax without tidings of her. A revenue cruiser, which had been despatched from Halifax on a cruise in search of her, had returned from Sable Island unsuccessful also; and the general alarm appeared to be gradually giving way to despondency. Discussions relative to the merits of the ship as a sea-boat, generally complimentary, are frequent in the columns of the journals and much stress appears to be placed on the discovery of a wreck in the ocean, cut down, apparently, by collision with some steamer. Of course, however, the journalists unanimously persisted in "hoping against hope," and in their efforts to quiet the public anxiety some of them exactly predicate the real facts of the ship's disaster. Her safety would be announced about the 15th instant.

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 28th February, 1851. Part One TAPSCOTT'S LINE OF PACKETS, for New York. Regular Packet of the 5th March. The Magnificent fast-sailing Z line Packet Ship "Arctic," Capt. JOHN ZEREGA, 2500 Tons Burthen, will positively sail as above her regular day. This splendid new Packet Ship is one of the largest and most superb Ships afloat, and is fitted up in a superior manner to meet the wishes of all classes of Passengers, having Private Rooms in Second Cabin and Poop, for Families or Single Persons; which with the well-known gentlemanly and kind attention of her Commander to his Passengers, should command for this noble Ship a decided preference. The superior qualities of this noble Ship have been fully proved during her last passage to New York, when so many first-class Packets returned after being at sea as many days as it took the "Arctic" to make her voyage. For terms of passage, and to secure a preference of berths, Deposits of GBP1 a-head should be remitted by Post-office Orders, or otherwise, to W. TAPSCOTT and Co., St. George's Buildings, Regent Road, Clarence Dock, Liverpool, and 7 Eden Quay, Dublin. EMIGRATION TO AMERICA - The following fine first-class fast-sailing well-known Passenger Ships, now lying in Catwater, Plymouth, will be despatched on the undermentioned days from Plymouth to New York and Quebec. "John", JOSHUA SYMONS, 900 tons burthen, New York, 25th[?] March. "Queen Victoria", JOHN NIXON, 1000, Quebec, 2nd April. "Dublin", Capt. TOZER. 1000, Quebec, 8th April. These Ships have great height in their between decks, and will be ventilated and fitted with all the improvements which experience suggests; to insure the health of passengers a distinct apartment will be provided for single females, and every arrangement made to insure decency and comfort. The Ships will, as regard hull, stores, rigging, crew, fittings, and provisions, be under the inspection of a Government Surveyor, and Her Majesty's Emigration Office, Plymouth, being the only channel port which is the station of an Emigration Office, whose duty it is to protect and watch the interests of passengers. The rates of passage money will be very moderate, and will include a considerable supply of provisions. No charge will be made for luggage, and the Ships will be despatched under the immediate superintendence of Mr. J. B. WILCOCKS. Agent for Government and General Emigration, Barbican, Plymouth; to whom, or to the following Agents, application should be forthwith be made:- Mr. W. J. OKE, Truro; Mr. GEAKE, St. Thomas, Launceston: Mr. W. JOHNS, Helston; Mr. J. JOHNS, Registrar's Office, Redruth; Mr. ALLEN, Penzance; Mr. HENNESSY, Camelford; and Mr. W. DONY, Liskeard. EMIGRATION - The Barque "Good Intent," JOHN WARBURTON, Master, is expected to sail from Fowey for Quebec, with Passengers, on or about the first week in April next. The Fares will be the same as of any Ship from Padstow, Falmouth, Plymouth, or other parts in the Channel; with the full allowance of Water and Provisions to every Passenger. This well-known Ship, which possesses such superior accommodations, and which obtained so much approbation from the passengers who have sailed in her, is strongly recommended to those who intend crossing the Atlantic. Application to be made to Mr. JOSEPH MORCOM, or Mr. JOSEPH DREW, St. Austell; Mr. W. HICKS, Merchant, Fowey; Mr. SAMUEL ALLEN, Mevagissey; Mr. CHANNON, Innkeeper, Liskeard; Mr. HENRY TRESTRAIL, Looe; Mr. HENRY DREW, Stationer, Bodmin; or to Mr. HENRY COUCHE, Emigration Agent, Fowey. February 11, 1851. EMIGRATION TO QUEBEC - The fine fast sailing Coppered and Copper-fastened first class Ship "Daedalus," 650 Tons Burthen, THOMAS BULLMAN, Commander, will leave Padstow on or about the 10th of April next for Quebec, and will take both Cabin and Steerage Passengers. The "Daedalus" is a regular trader, has a comfortable Poop Cabin, and airy, spacious, and lofty between decks, which will be fitted up in every way calculated to ensure the health and comfort of passengers. The fortunate passages of this favourite vessel are well known, and as she is the finest ship leaving Padstow this spring, persons intending to emigrate, are advised to inspect her before engaging their passage. The passage money will be very moderate, and the passengers will be plentifully supplied with provisions and water according to the Act. The advantages of Padstow as a port of departure are well known and appreciated by all connected with the county of Cornwall, as vessels sailing from then have often from its situation, been many days less on their passage than those which have been advertised to leave other ports. This is therefore well worthy the attention of all about to emigrate. Apply to Mr. HENRY HICKS, Newquay; Mr. S. WORDEN, Amble; Mr. N. KEAT, Delabole; Mr. JAMES BRENTON, Rock Quay; or SEATON, BRYANT and Co., Padstow. February 25, 1851.

Dated Registrar's Office, Truro, February 26, 1851. PROPOSED NEW CHURCH AT STELLENBOSCH, CAPE OF GOOD HOPE - There is, at present, no building for public worship in connexion with the English Episcopal Church, in the whole district of Stellenbosch. The only service in English in the town itself of Stellenbosch, or within fifteen miles on any side of it, is that of the Church of England, which is now performed in the Government School Room, which for many reasons, is not convenient for the purpose. Besides a large coloured population, the town and neighbourhood of Stellenbosch contain several resident English families, many young persons, who have emigrated from England within the last fifteen or twenty years, and are a favourite resort of the numerous visitors from India who come to the Cape for the benefit of its fine climate. It is therefore most desirable that there should be, with as little delay as possible, a church erected in Stellenbosch, in which all of these may have the opportunity of meeting together to hear the word of God, and the gospel preached in their own language, and may enjoy the privilege, in this distant country, of joining in the same solemn offices of devotion and praise as their friends are using at home, and as they themselves enjoyed before they left their native land. The Rev. F. CARLYON, the minister of the district, appeals therefore with confidence to the Christian sympathy of all who have at heart the extension of the Redeemer's Kingdom, for a supply of the funds necessary for the building of a church at Stellenbosch, where, it must be felt, it is so much needed. A most suitable site for a church has been granted by the municipality of the town, and the good work will be commenced as soon as a sufficient sum has been raised to warrant the building committee in taking such a step. FREDERICK CARLYN, B.A., Minister. Mr. W. McDONALD, Mr. GEORGE BLATCHFORD, Churchwardens. Stellenbosch, June 13, 1850. Subscriptions will be received by E. T. CARLYON, Esq., Truro; EDMUND CARLYON, Esq., St. Austell; and at the Cornish Bank Truro, Falmouth, and Redruth. Also, at the London and Westminster Bank, London; and at the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. It is requested that all sums shall be made payable to the Lord Bishop of Cape Town, and the Rev. F. Carlyon, and that it may be expressly stated that the remittance is sent for the "Stellenbosch Church Fund." MARRIAGES BILL - The Earl of St. Germans moved the second reading of the Marriages bill. The Noble Earl contended that marriage with a deceased wife's sister was not prohibited in Scripture, and quoted largely from authorities both theological and legal in support of his argument. The Archbishop of Canterbury opposed the bill on religious grounds, and moved that it should be read a second time that day six months. The Bishop of Exeter in seconding the amendment, denounced as incestuous the marriages which this bill proposed to legalize. The Bishop of St. Davids admitted that there was no express prohibition in scripture against these marriages, but the public feeling against them was so strong that he could not consent to the second reading of this measure. The Bishop of Norwich opposed, and Lord Gage supported the bill. Lord Campbell said that the parties seeking relief by this bill had knowingly and wilfully violated the law. He was opposed to the measure on principle, and hoped it would be rejected. The Bishop of London, Lord Brougham, and the Bishop of Ossory likewise spoke against the measure, and Earl St. Germans having replied. Their lordships divided, when the bill was rejected by a majority of 34 - fifty peers voting against the motion for the second reading, and sixteen for it. THE GREAT EXHIBITION - Reduced Fares By Times Coach, Truro to Exeter and back for 24s.! ! ! - On Monday the 3rd of March the "Times" will commence leaving Pearce's Royal Hotel, Truro, at half-past Four (after the arrival of the mail from Falmouth), and will continue to do so every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, reaching the White Lion Hotel, Exeter, at Five in the Afternoon, in time for passengers to proceed on to Bristol by the 5.45 train. Mr. PROCKTER has also determined to commemorate the present eventful year by issuing return tickets (a new era in coaching) available at any time, so as to enable his friends to travel from Truro to Exeter and back again for the reduced charge of twenty-four shillings, being a saving of twenty-five per cent. over any other mode of transit, as the following list of prices will shew:- Truro to Exeter and back 24s. outside. 42s. inside. St. Columb and back 24s. 42s. Wadebridge and back 22s. 36s. Camelford 20s. 39s. N.B. - The "Times brings up passengers to Launceston for the Express Coach to Bideford and Barnstaple, and also to Tavistock. The fairs will be received by Mr. Prockter, and tickets will be given in exchange. Observe - twenty minutes allowed at Launceston for refreshment both up and down. THE SHERIFF'S CARRIAGE - A very elegant state carriage is in course of preparation by Messrs. G. FRANKLIN and CO., coach-builders, Exeter, for the high Sheriff of Cornwall, Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, of Tregullow. THE ARMY - Mr. W. R. OLIVEY, son of Mr. H. O. Olivey, of Mylor, has been appointed (by purchase) an Ensign of the 91st Regiment of Infantry, now stationed at Liverpool. Mr. J. C. ADAMS - The portrait of this eminent mathematician has been painted by Mr. MOGFORD, and will be engraved by Mr. SAMUEL COUSINS, on of the first of mezzotint engravers. It is gratifying to see that the portrait of this gifted Cornishman, the twin-discoverer with Le Verrier, of the planet Neptune - is about to be given to the world through two of our most celebrated artists; and it is gratifying also to observe that the subscription list is headed by his Royal Highness Prince Albert.

Your best method is to restrict your search by years. This is a little tedious if you are looking at a very common name and as you have to leave the parish blank, you will get Calstock people as well. It is possible to have an exception filter on a search, but I guess it is a matter of trying to keep the site simple for the vast majority at the slight disadvantage of researchers such as yourself.

If you go to "People" search and put in the Surname and 18 (or 17) or (16) with no numbers after it will give you all the HUNN names for the 1800's e.g. putting 18 in the year will throw up all the 1800's. 17 in the year all the 1700's and so on.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I couldn't see an obvious place on the OPC database page. I'm researching the Hunn Family among others, who mostly came from Calstock. I can easily get a listing of all records for them from the OP database from the Calstock Parish records by entering Hunn as surname and CAL as the parish. What I would now like to do is find all the records that don't come from Calstock. I tried entering NOT CAL as the parish but that doesn't work. I could leave the parish blank but this returns an error due to finding too many records if I do a person search rather than the baptism, marriage or death search. Is there a simple way of doing a Person Search for a surname for all parishes other than Calstock? Thanks Ivor Jones

The West Briton (Friday, 07 Feb 1851) published a thoroughly garbled account of a St. Ives marriage: > Marriages > > At St. Ives, on Monday last, Mr. William OWLES to Miss Grace TURAN, both > of that place. The groom was in fact Thomas OLD, shoemaker, who was born in Hampshire circa 1830, the son of William OLD. The bride was actually Mary TROON, baptized 20 Sep 1833 at St. Ives, the daughter of William TROON and his wife Prudence BENNETTS. However, the newspaper did manage to get the date correct. The St. Ives marriage register indicates that the event took place 03 Feb 1851, which corresponds to "Monday last." The marriage was registered at Penzance during 1Q1851.

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 21st February, 1851. Part Two JUSTICES' MEETING, PENZANCE - The following case was heard on Wednesday last, before the Rev. URIAH TONKIN, and Mr. D. P. LE GRICE. For the last week or two a great many "navvies" have been arriving at Penzance, and some of them, in consequence of not being able to obtain work, have been perambulating the country around, begging assistance, and their surly looks seldom failed to create fear, and in some instances they have been known to have had recourse to intimidation to obtain what they wanted; hence the timid portion of the population have been in anticipation of hearing of a robbery, or something more serious. In the early part of this week, a rumour became current, that one of the "navvies" had assaulted a woman near Hayle, and had presented a pistol at and threatened to "blow out the brains" of a man who came to her assistance. This rumour proved to be partly correct; the circumstances from whence it arose are detailed in the following case:- MARY PHILLIPS v. GEORGE WARRINGTON. The defendant is an "overlooker" in the employ of Mr. RITSON, the contractor for the West Cornwall Railway: the complainant is a widow, and late on Saturday night last was returning from Camborne market with her donkey and cart, and when near Hayle, the defendant came up and asked her to allow him to get into her cart. He then immediately seized her by her clothes, and at the same time got hold of her basket, in which she had butter, meat &c., but on seeing a man coming, he ran away up a place near Floyd's public house. A man called KING (a night watcher employed by Messrs. HARVEY) came to her, and she informed him what had taken place. On arriving at the foundry she again saw the defendant, and King went and asked him what he had stopped her for. The defendant's answer was "go to h-ll." King then presented a pistol, and threatened to blow the defendant's brains out, upon which the defendant ran off. This was the substance of the complainants' case. Mr. Pascoe ably addressed the magistrates on behalf of the defendant, and adduced evidence that he (defendant) had been in the employ of Mr. Ritson for several years, and that he had always been a very steady and peaceable man. The magistrates reprimanded the defendant, and cautioned him as to his future conduct. HORSE STEALING - On Thursday last, JOHN LIDDICOAT, of St. Stephens in Branwell, was brought before Mr. E. COODE, jun., charged with stealing a pony, the property of Mr. ENOS CHANNON, of St. Austell, veterinary surgeon. The pony in question belonged to Mr. JOHN TRUSCOTT, of St. Stephens, who disposed of the same by a raffle. Channon took a chance, but not being present at the time the pony was drawn for, and not having paid for his chance, Liddicoat paid for him, and said he would take half the risk with Channon. The pony was won by them. On the following day Liddicoat took the pony to Channon, and said it was their joint property, but Channon refused to recognize the claim of the prisoner, and took forcible possession of the pony. At the last County Court, the prisoner brought an action against Channon, but the verdict was against him. On the following Saturday night (the 8th inst.,) the stable in which the pony was kept was broken open, and the animal put away. The prisoner having been seen in the neighbourhood the same day, and having been heard to threaten that he would still have the pony, suspicion fell on him, and he was apprehended on the charge, but there being no sufficient evidence to connect the prisoner with the robbery, he was discharged. The police had been in active pursuit, but could obtain no trace of the pony. FOWL STEALING - On Wednesday last, SAMUEL HOSKIN and JOHN COKER were charged before Dr. CARLYON and Captain WIGHTMAN, magistrates, at Truro, with stealing a fowl, the property of Mr. COLLINS, of Truthan. It appeared that on Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning last, Mr. Collins's gamekeepers being out on his grounds, saw two men in a field, and heard a noise proceeding from some fowls roosting in a linhay. On their going towards the linhay, a man rushed out, followed by two dogs. The keepers shot one of the dogs, a greyhound, and caught the other. The man, who had a double-barrelled gun, presented it at one of Mr. Collins's men, called BUDGE. Budge also levelled his gun, and called out to the other man that he would shoot him, on which the fellow turned and made off, Budge's gun being in fact not loaded at the time. The two men seen in the field also fled, and though Mr. Collins's people pursued, the three parties escaped. The man who levelled the gun at Budge was afterwards fired at about his legs, but whether the shot struck him or not is not known. The dog that was captured by the keepers was afterwards killed. A long investigation took place before the magistrates, a number of witnesses being examined. The evidence as bearing against the accused parties was, that on the same night they had met at a beer-house, where they were drinking with others, and had afterwards left, apparently with the intention of going to their homes. They were not sworn to by their features, but their dress, it was stated, when at the beer-house, was similar to that of the men who were seen by the keepers on Mr. Collins's premises. After hearing the evidence the magistrates bailed the accused to appear to answer the charge at the ensuing assizes. Mr. BENNALLACK attended in their behalf when before the magistrates. ESCAPE OF A PRISONER - The pickpocket WILLIAM JOHNSON, had broken out of Callington gaol, but Mr. GIBBONS (superintendent of the Plymouth police,) started off toe Bristol, and with the assistance of the detective officer, BANWELL, at Bristol, apprehended the man in that city within three hours of his arrival. He has been since sent to Callington, and committed for trial. We hope that some attention will be given to our country gaols. RECAPTURE OF A PRISONER - On Sunday last, MITCHELL, who escaped from the police some weeks since, and for whom a sharp look out had been kept, was again apprehended, and on examination before the magistrates of the Helston borough, was committed to the borough gaol to await his trial at the ensuing sessions. FIRE - On Tuesday last, a fire broke out in one of the houses on Wheal Trehane Mine, near Liskeard. Many of the buildings containing miners' clothes, two casks of tallow, gunpowder, &c., were destroyed. ACCIDENT FROM LUCIFER MATCHES - On Friday morning last, as a boy about nine years of age, was passing a rick of furze, at Ninnis, near Gwennap Pit, he set fire to a lucifer match, and threw it on the rick, which immediately ignited, and the wind blowing in the direction of a dwelling house, occupied by Mr. HARRIS, the flames immediately caught the thatch, and in the course of a short time, both the rick and house were entirely destroyed. The household furniture was saved. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE - A woman named ELIZABETH DAW, the wife of ANTHONY DAW, a shoemaker, residing in New-street, Penzance, on Tuesday morning about six o'clock attempted to commit suicide by cutting her throat. It appears that she had secured her husband's razor for the purpose, and after her husband had got up and gone down stairs she inflicted a severe gash across her throat. Medical assistance was promptly procured, and she is now likely to recover. FATAL ACCIDENT - On Saturday last as Mr. JOHN VOSPER and his son THOMAS (a lad of about twelve years of age), of Castlewick near Callington, were engaged in stowing away some corn in the barn prior to its being thrashed out, the lad slipped off from the top and was caught by the corn pike, (which had been left against the pile with the prongs up,) and the points ran into his bowls. He lingered about two hours and then expired. An inquest has since been held and a verdict of accidental death returned. CORONERS' INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner:- On the 14th instant, at Bolenna, in the parish of Camborne, on the body of THOMAS WEBSTER, miner, aged 40. Deceased worked in Carn Brae mine, and on Wednesday the 12th instant, in reaching over a stull to get at a piece of timber, he missed his footing and fell, head-foremost, a distance of ten fathoms into a gunnis, and was killed on the spot. Verdict, "accidental death." On Wednesday the 19th instant, at Bereppa, in the parish of Mawnan, on the body of MATTHEW YEOMAN, aged 59 years, who dropped down and almost instantly expired as he was leaving his house, the preceding day. It appeared that the deceased had been an ailing man for some time, and he died from disease of the heart, Verdict, "visitation of God." On Saturday last, an inquest was held before Mr. HAMLEY, county coroner, at the parish of Pelynt, on the body of RICHARD DREW, a boy aged about 14 years, servant of Mrs. PHILP, of that parish. It appeared that Mrs. Philp, who is a widow, farmed an estate in that parish called Muchlarnick. In November last she went to the Liskeard Union, to get a boy as servant, and took the deceased to live with her. He was rather delicate, but continued to do his work until within a few days of his death, when he appeared to be unwell, it was considered by Mrs. Philp and her family, that he was merely suffering from a cold. The night before his death he went to tea but was not considered worse; he became however, much worse in the morning and died rather suddenly. Preparations were made for the funeral, but in consequence of reports that the boy had been ill-treated by Mrs. Philp, the parish authorities insisted on an inquiry taking place. A man named LEAN, a mason, deposed that about three weeks since he was working on the roof of Mrs. Philp's house when he heard the boy screaming, and on looking down, saw Mrs. Philp beating him with a stick. He saw him afterwards go to his work and did not think he was at all hurt by the beating. Lean having mentioned this after the boy's death, induced the parish authorities to interfere, particularly as no medical man or nurse had been called in during his illness. Several neighbours proved that he had always been treated kindly by Mrs. Philp, and a man named LOBB saw him the night before he died and did not consider him worse or in danger, but he went to see him in the morning and found him dying. On the jury viewing the body the feet and hands were dreadfully swollen and inflamed, but Mr. ROWE, the surgeon, stated that he had examined the body carefully and there were no marks of violence whatever, but that the feet and hands were covered with erysipelas and ulcers of the most malignant character, which he had no doubt was the cause of his death - as that disease was very prevalent in the neighbourhood. The jury were perfectly satisfied that there was no blame to be attached to any one, and returned a verdict accordingly. Mrs. Philp said the inflammation on the feet and hands had only appeared the day before. The case had caused a great deal of excitement in the neighbourhood. The following inquest has been held before Mr. HICHENS, county coroner:- On the 12th instant, at St. Just in Penwith, on the body of a lad named ROBERT JAMES, aged ten years, the son of a miner living in that parish. The deceased had been employed on the 10th, in breaking clay in a marl pit, on the tenement of Truthwell, and in the evening of that day went to his father's house for a sack to put some potatoes into, which were in a field near by, but the father for some reason did not allow him to take the sack, and the deceased left without it. About half-an-hour afterwards, the father went to the field with the sack, and not seeing the deceased there, and having observed as he passed the pit in which deceased had been working, that some of the clay had fallen down, he became alarmed and immediately set to work to remove it, and in a short time discovered under it the lifeless body of his son. Verdict, "accidental death. RAWLINGS and OTHERS v. BARRETT - Roche Rock Mine. On the motion of Mr. BENNALLACK, a rule absolute was granted for sale of the machinery. SIMMONS v. MARTIN - A rule absolute was granted, on the motion of Mr. G. N. SIMMONS, for sale of defendants shares in Carvannal mine. In the case of the same plaintiff against WILLIAM HENRY MARTIN, a similar rule was granted. RICHARDS v.

On the motion of Mr. Bennallack, the Registrar's report was confirmed. KENWORTHY v. LAW - Mr. HOCKIN (for Mr. ROBERTS), moved for a rule absolute for sale of defendant's shares under the purser's petition. Rule nisi made absolute. WILLIAMS and OTHERS v. TWEEDY and OTHERS - Defendants are assignees of JOSEPH MICHELL, a bankrupt. On the motion of Mr. HOCKIN, (for Mr. Roberts), a rule absolute was granted for sale of the bankrupt's shares in Wheal Unity Wood West. A similar rule was granted in respect to the bankrupt's shares in Wheal Unity Wood East. STANNARIES' COURT - (Concluded from our last paper.) Friday, February 14. TYACK v. MANLEY - Wheal Henry - On Saturday, the first day of the sittings, Mr. CHILCOTT, on the part of plaintiff, made a motion in this case respecting costs. The decision now given by the Court was, that plaintiff pay the costs of the day at the hearing, and defendant the remainder of the costs. TILLY v. GUSTARD - West United Hills Mine - A purser's petition. Mr. HOCKIN obtained a rule absolute for sale of defendant's shares, he being in arrear of costs. RICHARDS v. CLEAVE and OTHERS - In this case the Court had ordered that the representatives of a person of the name of WOOLCOCK, should be added to the list of defendants. But Mr. G. N. SIMMONS, on inquiry had found that Woolcock died intestate and insolvent; and he now moved that the case be referred to the Registrar to take an account without the addition of Woolcock. Mr. CHILCOTT opposed the application on the ground that sufficient search had not been made to ascertain whether or not letters of administration had been taken out by Woolcock's representatives. The Vice Warden, however, thought the search sufficient, and directed that the case be referred back to the Registrar, with directions to take such an account as he may be able; that he consider Woolcock's shares as abandoned, and Woolcock as not existing. POWELL v. POWELL - This was an action tried at the last sittings, when a verdict was given for plaintiff for GBP28. 5s. Mr. Bennallack subsequently obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the signature to a memorandum produced was not the signature of the defendant. Mr. Chilcott, for plaintiff, now showed cause against the rule, and it was discharged. SHARE BARGAINS - BLAMEY v. JEWELL - We reported this case last week when a verdict was given for plaintiff for GBP30. Mr. HOCKIN, for defendant, now moved for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection in regard to the completion of the contract between the parties. The Vice Warden said he considered it was borne out by the evidence that the contract was completed. But there was a point of law involved, on which the case, if it was desired, might be reconsidered. There were four or five cases of joint-stock companies, in which it was laid down, that in actions for the non-delivery of shares according to contract, the measure of the damage was the difference between the price of the shares when bargained for, and the price at the time when they ought to have been delivered. But all those were cases where a considerable time had elapsed between the bargain and the time for delivery - perhaps two or three days; so that there was ample time for the person who had bargained to buy, putting himself into a situation of loss, by acting towards other purchasers as if the party would fulfil his contract to him. But in the present case the question arose whether they could inquire into the damage to the person who had bargained to buy, it being evident that he could not have taken any step to prejudice himself - he could not have done any thing as if he were the owner of the share, or on the faith of the other fulfilling his obligation. The case might therefore be reconsidered on the point of law, whether the measure of the damages should be the same in this case as in the cases of the joint stock companies' shares before referred to. He then granted a rule nisi to reduce the damages to nominal damages; or for a new trial of the case. CLEMENS v. PENROSE and ANOTHER. - In this case the jury had given a verdict for plaintiff for GBP50. Mr. HOCKIN, for defendants, moved for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of evidence, or to reduce the damages to GBP3 odd, or to such sum as the Court might think fit. Rule refused.

Part One. West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 21st February, 1851. THE CORNWALL RAILWAY - We understand that Mr. BRUNEL has received instructions to survey the Cornwall line of railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, in order to ascertain and report the very lowest possible cost at which it can be constructed. SAFETY PLUG FOR BOATS - Mr. J. H. GEACH, watchmaker, of Fairmantle-street, Truro, has invented a contrivance in the form of a brass screw and nut, to be used as a plug for boats instead of a cork as at present. It is an ingenious though simple invention, and appears to be admirably adapted to answer its purpose. We understand that he intends to forward it for the inspection of the admiralty. ST. STEPHENS IN BRANWELL INSTITUTION - The annual dinner of this institution took place at the house of Mr. JACOB JENKYN, on Monday last. The Rev. J. CROSSLEY occupied the chair, and was supported by Mr. SMITH, of Ventonwyn, and other gentlemen of the neighbourhood. The officers for the ensuing year were elected, and the usual business transaction after which the health of the chairman and other toasts were drunk. The company then adjourned to the schoolroom, where a lecture was delivered on "Phrenology," by Mr. REUBEN THOMAS, of Roach, and the able and spirited manner in which it was treated elicited frequent applause. After a lively discussion, a vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer, and it was announced that the next lecture would take place on the 17th of March, by Mr. JOHN STUTHRIDGE. THE IRVINGITES - The building erected in the moor, Falmouth, for a chapel-of-ease or district church, is let to the Irvingites. The opening service on Sunday evening last, was conducted by Sir GEORGE HEWITT. SALE OF ADVOWSONS - The perpetual right of presentation to the rectories of St. Breock and St. Ervan, has been submitted to auction by Messrs. SHUTTLEWORTH, at the Auction mart, London. Both advowsons belonged to Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH. The gross annual rent charge of St. Breock amounted to GBP966, but including the glebe, and deducting rates and taxes, the living was estimated at GBP1000 per annum. The parish containing about 1730 inhabitants and the incumbent sixty-three years of age. This was sold for GBP5990. The other rectory, estimated at GBP470 per annum, and the incumbent of the same age, was sold for GBP2460, both being under the reserved price. THE ARMY - Mr. HENRY ARTHUR SLEEMAN, eldest son of Colonel Sleeman, British resident at Lucknow, has been appointed cornet in the 16th Light Dragoons, by purchase, vice Sartors, promoted. VICE CONSULAR APPOINTMENT - Mr. ROWE, of Stratton, has been appointed Vice Consul for Spain for the ports of Padstow and Bideford, and the north coast of Devon and west coast of Cornwall. FESTIVE ENTERTAINMENTS AT HELIGAN, &c. - On Friday last, the children of the St. Ewe school, ninety-six in number, were sumptuously regaled at Heligan, the seat of Mr. TREMAYNE, in celebration of the marriage of Miss Tremayne with the Rev. J. T. BOSCAWEN, which took place on Thursday the 13th instant. It may be observed that the St. Ewe school, which is entirely supported by the liberality of Mr. Tremayne, has received much attention from Miss Tremayne, who, by her kindness has greatly endeared herself to the children. On her farewell visit to the school, she was presented by the children, with a handsome token of their esteem, which met with a most sincere and heartfelt acknowledgment. On the 12th instant, a ball and supper were given at Tregothnan, by the instructions of the Earl of Falmouth, to some of his tradesmen, and the tenantry of his estates in the immediate neighbourhood, to celebrate the marriage of the Rev. J. T. Boscawen (cousin to his Lordship) with Miss Tremayne, of Heligan. The festivities were greatly enjoyed by those assembled. SCHOONER LAUNCHED - On Thursday the 13th inst., a fine new schooner was launched from the building yard of Messrs. JOHN and MARTIN CLEMENS, at Newquay, of the burthen of about 130 tons, called the "Tower," and belonging to Capt. JOHN CARTER and CO. She went off in gallant style, amidst the cheers and congratulations of a vast number of spectators. This vessel is well adapted for the coasting or foreign trade. DISASTERS AT SEA - About a mile off Port Mellon Cove, in the Parish of Mullion, there may be seen from the cliff the top mast of a vessel upright, about four feet of which is out of the water. On the 8th instant, SAMUEL HICHENS and THOMAS STEVLING went out to it in a small boat, but the weather being boisterous, they could not make out what vessel it was. REDRUTH COUNTY COURT - At this court on the 13th and 14th instant, the following case was heard which involved a serious charge of "kitting." TRESTRAIL and HICKS v. GARLAND. This was an action to recover the sum of GBP40. 3s. 4d., claimed by the plaintiffs as their proportion of certain ores raised in Carn Brea mine in the month of October last. The defendant was sued as one of the adventurers in this mine. The plaintiffs were represented by Mr. THOMAS ROGERS. Mr. STOKES, on the part of the defendant, admitted that his client was properly sued as an adventurer; but denied being indebted to the plaintiffs on the ground that they had forfeited all claim to payment for any ores raised by them, by reason of their breach of one of the rules or bye-laws of the mine, which declared all ores forfeited in cases where the tributers mix any other ores with their own. To prove their case the plaintiffs were examined. They stated they took a pitch of Captain LINTON (one of the agents of the mine) subject to the rules of the mine; that they worked at the eastern end of the pitch close against the boundary shaft about a week, and broke five or six barrows of ore, which they wheeled back to the western end of the pitch. This was away from the shaft about thirty fathoms; that they afterwards went to work at the western part of the pitch near to the cross-cut, where they worked the remaining part of the month; that from both places they obtained about twenty-nine barrows of ore, which they put together in one pile; and that the tribute they had agreed for was 13s. 4d. in the pound. On cross-examination by Mr. STOKES, they admitted this tribute to be a very high one, and that it was agreed to be given, because their pitch was well-known to the agents to be an unproductive one. They denied they had been under-ground at night at any time during the month, or that they had thrown "attle" or loose stuff over their pile of ore to conceal its colour. They admitted that Captain Bennetts had looked at it, and remarked that it appeared to him to be two sorts of ore in the pile, but they explained to him that they had broken a red colour ore at the eastern part of their pitch, and a grey ore at the western part, and shewed him where they broke them; that he appeared satisfied and that until six weeks after, when they went to be paid, no complaint was made that they had taken the ores of certain tut-men working a short distance from them. Mr. Stokes, for the defence, called HENRY PAUL, WILLIAM PAUL, ANDREW HARRIS, EDWARD, TREVEAN, JAMES HARRIS, THOMAS WHITE, THOMAS MARTIN, RICHARD ANNEAR, Mr. R. PIKE, purser of the mine, and Messrs. LINTON, ROBERTS, and BENNETTS, three of the agents, whose evidence is embodied in the following statement. That on the 18th of October, certain tut-workmen, who were working in or near the forty-six fathom level, missed about a ton of ore from their pile; and that the quantity taken out was so remarkable they could not help missing it. Suspicion first fell on a man called CANNON, but on examining his work nothing could be discovered to justify that suspicion. Captain Bennetts then proceeded to examine the plaintiffs' pitch, and on approaching was attracted by the sound of "spalling;" a circumstance quite unusual under ground, and which was discontinued on his arriving near the place. That on examining the plaintiffs' pitch, two sorts of ore were discovered, and the accounts of the plaintiffs differed as to where they got their ores. The ore discovered in the plaintiffs' pile corresponded with the ore in the tut-workmen's pile, which was of a peculiar black colour. The plaintiffs' pitch was examined by men who had worked there before, and also by the three captains, who spoke to the work that had been done there, and the improbability of their having found the ore there. It further appeared that at midnight on the 17th of October, the plaintiffs went under ground, a thing quite unusual when there were only a pair of tributers working a pitch; and on the following morning they were seen coming from the shaft with their faces very black, evidently shewing they had been working about an ore of that colour. It also appeared that a day or two previous, one of the plaintiffs were seen examining the tut-workmen's pile of ore, and taking some of it and putting it in the belly of his shirt, and on leaving desired one of the men called ANNEAR, to be sure you don't tell the captain I have been down here." The ore was taken from the pile of the tut-workmen between ten and six o'clock of the same night on which the plaintiffs were known to go down, and during which period there were no tut-men working. Afterwards, the respective piles of ore of the tut-men and the plaintiffs were brought to "grass," and examined and tried, and found to be exactly similar. On the discovery being made, the plaintiffs were at once discharged from the mine, and told they had forfeited all claims to payment for any ores. The rule referring to the case was read by Captain LINTON, and runs as follows:- "If any ores be found amongst the tributers' ores which do not belong to their respective pitches, all such ores will be forfeited to the adventurers." Some discussion took place as to the proper construction of this rule, which appeared to be rather ambiguously worded as to whether it intended that all the ores found in the pile should be forfeited, or only the ores that did not belong to the pitch. On this point his Honour decided against the plaintiffs, and eventually gave his judgment in favour of the defendant, observing that the chain of circumstantial evidence against the plaintiffs was too perfect to admit of a doubt. The case excited great interest and occupied nearly the whole of the first day. SMUGGLING - On Monday last, WILLIAM REDBOURNE, an American, and a seaman called SHELLY, two of the crew of the schooner "Copy," of London, were charged at Crotch's hotel, Hayle, before the Revds. URIA TONKIN and T. PASCOE, magistrates, with having smuggled seven and a half gallons of brandy. They were convicted and fined GBP100 each, and in default of payment were committed to the county gaol for six months. The charge was preferred by instructions of Mr. JAMES, Comptroller of c=Customs at St. Ives. Mr. PASCOE appeared for the prisoners. FORGERY - Mr. DANIELS, who some time since forged a receipt for GBP50, in the name of Mr. BOASE, of Liskeard, in the case of shares in Wheal Mary Ann, has been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. TRURO POLICE - On the 12th instant, JOHN HILL was committed to the House of Correction for three calendar months to hard labour, as a rogue and vagabond, for wandering in the public streets, and obtaining charitable contributions under false pretences. The fellow went into the shop of Mr. JAGO, tailor and mercer, St. Mary's-street, and pretended to be deaf and dumb, but as soon as he was given into custody, and his begging brief taken from him, he showed that he could speak fast enough. On Saturday last, WILLIAM MARTIN was committed for fourteen days to hard labour, as an idle and disorderly character. JAMES THOMPSON was charged with being an impostor, going about the town and asking for lodgings under false pretences; but no legal offence was proved against him, and he was discharged. On Monday last, ANN PLACE was committed for fourteen days to hard labour in the House of Correction, for being a disorderly character. On Tuesday last, BENJAMIN HOSKIN, who represented himself as of St. Just, was committed for three months to hard labour as a rogue and vagabond, and for obtaining charitable contributions under false pretences. He stated that he was the master and owner of a vessel which was wrecked, whereby he had lost GBP600, and therefore solicited charity. On Wednesday last, JOHN LOWRY, tailor, was committed for trial at the next assizes, for stealing a piece of cloth, &c., from Mr. JAMES HODGE, tailor, Walsingham-place. KITTY LOWRY, wife of JOHN LOWRY, was likewise committed on a charge for stealing two calico sheets, one table-cloth, three calico pillows, one pair of silk gloves, and one window blind, the property of Mr. JAMES SANDERS, of the Ship Inn.
