    1. [CORNISH-GEN] weekly news, 24 January 1851 - Legal news, bankruptcy of Thos. DAVEY
    2. WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER 24 January 1851 LEGAL INTELLIGENCE EXETER DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY Wednesday, January 15 - Before Mr. Commissioner Bere Re THOMAS DAVEY, farmer, miller, and seedsman, Liskeard, sitting for last examination. The bankrupt was opposed by Mr. STOGDON on behalf of the assignees, and supported by Mr. PITTS. The bankrupt underwent a lengthened examination by Mr. Stogdon, which shewed several inaccuracies and omissions in his balance sheet. In the course of examination, the bankrupt stated that he owed debts to the following parties, but they were not inserted in his balance sheet at their own particular request:  viz, Mr. SHORT about GBP 3 or GBP 3.10s. for corn; Mr. HODGE, GBP 14 or 15 for sheep, (he was an intimate friend of the bankrupt, and said he had a particular wish that his debt should not be entered); Mr. MICHELMORE also GBP 5 or 6 for cattle; this gentleman, as well as the rest, had said he did not wish his debt to be entered.   The Commissioner inquired whether all this was not with a view to their being paid in full hereafter.This, the Bankrupt said, was not the case; it was merely from his having had many years' dealings with the parties, and they did not wish to burden his estate. He stated that it was about two or three weeks ago that he agreed with these persons that their debts should be altered. They asked him - he did not ask them. He might have asked them if they wished him to enter their debts. He could not tell if they were aware that he was a bankrupt. Upon being questioned as to the mode in which Mr. SHORT's debt was contracted, the bankrupt stated it was thirteen or fourteen bushels of barley, at 4s.6d. or 4s.9d. the Cornish bushel. The order was given after he had signed the declaration of insolvency, and on the very day the corn was delivered it was with other things distrained upon for rent. The reason for his giving the order after committing the act of bankruptcy by signing the declaration of insolvency, was, he had been informed by Mr. VENNING on the Friday before he ordered the corn, that his difficulties would be arranged, and he therefore thought he would be able to go on again with his business. His reason for signing the declaration of insolvency was to put all his creditors upon a proper footing. He knew that MESSRS. SERCOMBE held a dishonoured cheque of his for GBP 7.10s., on the Devon and Cornwall Bank at Liskeard, dated 25th of July last. This was paid to them on account of a dishonored acceptance of his draft for GBP15 on JOHN BAKER, which they held. Baker paid him the GBP15, and he then remitted them GBP 8 on account of the bill which they had put to his account generally. MR. TERRELL, who represented Messrs. Sercombe, said he had seen all the correspondence, and it was quite clear the GBP 8 was not remitted for the purpose of meeting Baker's acceptance. He promised to shew the letters which had passed to the assignees. The Bankrupt further said that a sum of GBP 50 entered as received from RICHARD PETER as apprentice premium was not received in cash. He owed the bankrupt GBP 70, and the premium was allowed in reduction of his debt. He stated that his profits of GBP 911 and GBP 18.17s.6d. were gathered from the amount of business done. They were principally on the corn. His receipts every month were estimated from the quantity of corn ground and payments made. Mr. STOGDON - I dare say you found that you had expended a certain sum every month,  and you naturally imagined that you could only have received an equivalent amount, though whether it was more or less you could not tell. The Commissioner said it was quite clear from the many inaccuracies, the examination must be adjourned. The bankrupt was then ordered to amend his balance sheet, and come up again on Wednesday the 22nd instant. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22 The bankrupt, THOMAS DAVEY, came up again to-day, having made the amendments required, and was questioned as on the former occasion by Mr. Stogdon, who stated that the creditors were very much dissatisfied with the amount taken credit for by the bankrupt, for maintenance of himself and family, viz. 45s. per week, for part of the period extended over by his balance sheet, and 35s. per week for the remainder of the time. The Bankrupt said that up to 1849, his maintenance he estimated had cost him 45s. per week, as he had to keep three men in the house night and day to work the mill from the scarcity of water, and afterwards when he went to a more commodious and more suitable premises, the three men were discharged, which lessened the expenditure 10s. per week. He was also examined as to his transactions with his daughter, in keeping a shop for sale of grocery, which appeared to be the bankrupt's own property, and which he supplied weekly or monthly, as occasion required, with flour, and allowed his daughter out of the takings to purchase other necessities. In answer to questions by Mr. Stogdon, he stated also that on the 22nd of August last, he wrote Messrs. Sercombe, of Exeter, a letter saying that "he had many returns both of corn and cattle to make which would be done with as little delay as possible," and promising out of the produce thereof to liquidate their debt. That the corn and cattle mentioned therein consisted of two or three fields of barley, and three or four bullocks, and that he afterwards (in September) paid Messrs. Sercombe GBP 5 on account of their debt. [The rest is partially cut off; the bankrupt was given his certificate, once he met certain financial requirements. The Commissioner noted he had 'been helping himself', and now thought it time his creditors received some repayment; therefore, he ordered GBP 1 a week be sent to the assignee.]

    1. [CORNISH-GEN] weekly news, 24 January 1851 Local Intelligence and Ads
    2. As almost every edition of the newspaper has articles regarding the Glass Palace and the Exposition, we've put images of the etchings which ran in the paper on the West Briton website.The etchings took up the entire width of the front page, and about 1/3 of the vertical space; they had so much detail it was amazing! The various "traveling" clubs set up for the Exposition certainly filled a need - so many people traveling to London en masse, without reservations, plans, etc., could have been a disaster.  Plus people could contribute small amounts throughout the year, so they needn't come up with the money all at once. The only other thing of note is that under "burglary", wouldn't the article simply encourage the burglars to return, as the location of gold and money had been pointed out? Please, enjoy. ...................................

The names of the exhibitors we cannot give, as it appears they are prohibited to be published by an order from the Royal Commissioners. The space allotted to the exhibitors of the Truro district is about 860 feet of floor, 280 of counter, and 140 of wall. VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL CONCERT - At Redruth on Monday evening, MISS STUART and Messrs. GEORGE TEDDER, GRENIER, and JAMES, gave a concert in the Town Hall, in the course of which they produced some very popular and brilliant music. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm with which the two vocalists were applauded. The duet of "Sailors' Sighs," and Miss Stuart's "Come off to the Moors," commenced the concert, and were sung with great taste and execution.  The old favourite of "The Thorn," sung by Mr. Tedder, was rapturously encored, and Miss Stuart's "Charlie ye are welcome," and "Bonnie Dundee" produced an excitement we have seldom seen equaled. Mr. James executed some very beautiful violin music in excellent style; and Mons. Grenier presided at the piano with considerable talent. We regret to say that in consequence of the rain, which fell in torrents all the evening, the attendance was very limited. The audience, however, having learnt that Miss Stuart and Mr. Tedder's engagements in town do not commence until Monday, and that they had made no arrangement for another concert in Cornwall,   unanimously begged the favour of their appearing again, which, after some hesitation, they consented to do on Friday (this) evening. We hope that in a neighbourhood, all classes of which are so celebrated for their musical taste and ability as those of Redruth and its vicinity are, the attendance will be such as to amply repay the kindness of these very deservedly popular performers, in consenting to remain so long in the county. MR. WILLYAMS, M.P. - We understand that the very liberal donation of Mr. Willyams, M.P., to the poor of Truro, has been partaken of by three hundred and three necessitous persons, all of whom have expressed their thankfulness for this seasonable act of charity. It has principally been bestowed in blankets and other warm clothing to the most needy of the town. DINNER TO MR. CHARLES ANDREW, of REDRUTH - On Thursday the 16th instant, a dinner was given to Mr. Charles Andrew, (to which nearly fifty sat down) on his taking to the conduct of the hotel  at Redruth, in consequence of his mother's death. The dinner comprised all the delicacies of the season, and gave much promise of the host as a good caterer for the public. The chair was occupied by Mr. PRYOR, the well known mining agent, who was supported by MR. MILFORD, of Truro, as croupier.  The usual loyal, national, and complimentary toasts were drunk in wines of the choicest quality, and not t"  The whole of the toasts were suitably and properly acknowledged, and the parties separated highly pleased with the convivialities of the day. PENZANCE TRAVELLING CLUB - A club called by this name has been formed at Penzance, to enable its members to visit the Great Exhibition. Each member is to pay the sum of 1s. per week,  until he has paid the sum of 22s., the probable expense of conveyance to and from the metropolis. A general meeting of all the members is proposed to take place in the Town Hall, the first week in July, to determine upon the time of starting, and the route to be taken. At the public meeting held at Penzance of the subject , Mr. COLLIVER (who has been active in getting up the club) stated that there are upwards of twenty such clubs formed, or in process of forming in this county. Since the meeting also, Mr. Colliver has received a letter from Mr. Charles SAUNDERS, the secretary of the Great Western Railway, with a copy of resolutions agreed on at the Euston Station by the directors from all the metropolitan railways, by which it appears, that the directors are determined to afford every facility, dispatch, and convenience to the members of all travelling clubs formed in the country; and it is stated that a less sum than that contemplated by the Penzance club (22s.) will be amply sufficient. BUDE - The boisterous state of the weather still prevents any ingress or egress of vessels. Several vessels are laden with grain, and waiting for weather to proceed to sea. FALMOUTH - Part of the immense fleet of shipping in this harbour, in consequence of the change of weather,have moved out of port. Amongst them, many vessels for Ireland, principally laden with grain, have left for their destinations. Still from the great number of vessels now remaining in the harbour it presents a very animated appearance. DISASERS AT SEA - On Saturday last, the schooner "SKYLARK," BLACK, master, belonging to Waterford, from Nantes, laden with wheat, bound to Waterford, got ashore on the ledge of rocks called the Flats, whilst working into Crow Sound, St. Mary's, Scilly. The vessel remained several hours on the rocks, but was got off with the flood tide, and has been brought within St. Mary's pier, with considerable damage to her keel. The bottom and stern have since been surveyed. -The Prussian brig "DIE PARNITZ," of Stettin, Perst master,laden with coals, supposed from Sunderland, was fallen in with on the 17th instant, about twelve miles S.S.W. of the Lizard, abandoned, with twenty-two inches of water in the hold, bower anchors and cables gone, and the crews clothing removed by the bark "FROWNING BEAUTY," of and from London for Valparaiso; the chief mate and three seamen were put on board, and with a pilot brought her into the port of Falmouth. -On the 16th instant, the French brig "FLETON," from Havre for Bayonne, in ballast, went on shore at Seaton, three miles east of Looe. The crew consisting of eight men, were all saved; the ship became a total wreck. BURGLARY - On Thursday night the 16th instant, about twelve o'clock, the Vicarage-house at St Winnow, the residence of the Rev. PERCEVAL FRYE, was broken into, and a box belonging to one of the servants forced open, and a sovereign taken out. The burglars then proceeded to Mr. Frye's study, where they forced open all the drawers, and other places where money was likely to be kept. A watch was taken from a case, and placed on the table.  Mrs. Frye, who slept over the room, heard a noise, and called out several times, asking if any person wanted her, which is supposed to have disturbed them, as a drawer containing gold and bank notes to a large amount was found to have been tried, but left unopened. Footsteps were traced to a considerable distance from the house across some fields, but lost on getting to the road, and there being nothing which would be likely to lead to detection, further search was considered useless. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE - On Saturday morning last, after the water of the Loe Pool, near Helston, had been discharged into the sea, and left the greater part of the space which it covered nearly dry, the mat and rug which had been used by THOMAS POLGASE, whose melancholy death we recorded last week, was found, and also very near them a black drawn silk bonnet trimmed with crape. How it got there no one can satisfactorily account. Whether some female was in the gig and drowned with him, and washed out into the sea by the very strong current of the Loe breaking, as it is termed here, or whether it might been been accidentally washed there, there is at present no means of solving. ACCIDENT - On Thursday the 16th instant, as JOHN BILLINGTON, a farm servant in the employ of Mr. R. FOSTER, was driving a waggon with three horses, the shaft horse which he was leading, (the road being steep) fell, and threw him before the wheel, which passed over his leg, breaking it in two places. The horse was dragged a considerable distance before the others could be stopped, whereby it was so much injured as to be obliged to be killed the next day. We are happy to say the man is doing well. MINE ACCIDENT - On Monday, an old miner called GEORGE NOEY, working in Balleswidden mine, had bored two holes for blasting, the one intended to relieve the other. He fired the first, and after the explosion went to fire the other, but when in the act of doing so the hole exploded, having been fired by the blast of the first, and in consequence the poor fellow's face was dreadfully injured, one of his arms broken, and his shoulder cut open, so that his life is at present despaired of. CORONERS' INQUESTS - -On Saturday last, an inquest was held at Pool, in the parish of Illogan, before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner, on the body of THOMAS HALL, a miner, aged 61 years, who died on Friday last, from injuries he had received on the preceding Tuesday, by falling down a winze which he and his comrade were engaged in sinking from the eighteen to the twenty-six fathoms level east of monument shaft, in Carn Brea Mine. Verdict, accidental death. -The following inquests have been held before Mr. HICHENS, county coroner. On the 19th instant, in the parish of St. Just in Penwith, on the bodies of two men found dead in that parish on the preceding day, one on Porthleddan beach, and the other on Porthnanwin beach, both were supposed to have belonged to the crew of the ship "NEW COMMERCIAL" of Whitby, lately wrecked on that coast. Verdict, found drowned. -The following inquest has been held before Mr. HICHENS, jun., deputy coroner. On the 20th instant, in the same parish, on the body of another man found dead at Porthnanwin Cove on the 19th, supposed to have been another of the same crew. Verdict, found drowned. -The following inquest has been held before Mr. HAMLEY, deputy coroner - On Monday last, at the parish of Landrake, on the body of JOSEPH BATH, a boy of about 10 years of age, who met his death under the following circumstances. It appeared that the deceased and other boys of the village were in the habit of going into the farm yard of Mr. BROWNE, who lives on the Barton, when the threshing machine is at work. On Saturday last, the deceased went into the round-house, where the horses were working, and by some means got jammed between the arm of the marchine and the wall, and was instantly killed. Mr. Browne's son had turned him out of the premises half-an-hour before but he unfortunately returned again, and met his death as stated. Verdict, accidental death. -The following inquests have been held before Mr. GILBERT HAMLEY, county coroner:  On the 15th inst., at Menheniot, on view of the body of ELIZABETH MICHELL, who was supposed to have died under suspicious circumstances. From the evidence of the witnesses, it appeared that deceased had been married about seven weeks, during which time she had many times received brutal treatment from the hands of her husband. On one occasion a man who lived under the same roof hearing Michell illtreating his wife, went into the room and found him knocking her with great violence against the wall; he told Michell that he appeared as if he wanted to kill his wife, and added "Now if she dies you'll hold your hand to the bar, and I'll be a witness against you." Other witnesses having also spoken as to the manner deceased had been treated by her husband, the deputy coroner adjourned the inquest until the following Monday that a post mortem examination of the body might be made. Mr. PRIDEAUX, having made a post mortem examination, stated that he had no doubt but that the deceased had died from an attack of apoplexy, and he could not take upon himself to say whether her death was accelerated by the violence she had received from her husband. The poor woman was near her confinement, and there was the greatest excitement in the village, it being rumoured that she had been poisoned. After the evidence of Mr. Prideaux, the jury returned a verdict "That the deceased had died from apoplexy."  And the deputy coroner, at the request of the jury, severely reprimanded the husband for his inhumane and brutal treatment towards his unfortunate wife, and told him he had had a very narrow escape from being sent to gaol on the charge of having caused the death of his wife. -On Monday, at St. Wenn, on the body of JAMES VARCOE. Deceased went to St. Columb on Saturday, and returned about seven o'clock in his usual good state of health. He ate a hearty supper, and about half past ten o'clock went to the stable to feed his horse. Upon his coming into the house again, he was taken sick, and desired his wife to call a neighbour. He shortly after became insensible and never again rallied. Verdict, apoplexy. -On Friday last, at Antony, on the body of ROGER LIDSTONE. Deceased had been to Looe to fetch a lady to whom he was about to be shortly married. The lady went to Plymouth in a van, whilst deceased followed on horseback.  He was last seen by a person at a place called Whacker Mill, when his hat blew off in the water, and it was supposed in attempting to reach it he overbalanced himself and fell in. A little boy at the mill heard some one cry out "Oh."  On going to the spot from whence the sound proceeded, he could not perceive any one. He then ran to his mother, who also went to look for him. Being unsuccessful, they went to Sheviock to procure the assistance of some person, and by the time they arrived, nearly three hours had elapsed. They soon discovered the body in the water. There being no direct evidence how the deceased got into the water, the jury returned a verdict of "found drowned."
