    3. Bill, according to the Towednack parish register, William Martin Jenkyn was buried on 11 Nov 1858, aged 6, of Buzza Hill. Although this information doesn't help identify the child, it does offer evidence as to the veracity of the two newspaper notices.

    1. Re: [CORNISH-GEN] NEWLYN (WEST) FAMILIES
    2. Jocelyn Gould via
    3. HI Diane I'm one of the many descendants of the Mann families of Newlyn, Mousehole and St Buryan according to my research. My family are included in the flaxman website and I'm very interested in your project. Briefly, my great grandfather, Edward Tegertha Mann was born 28 February 1844 at Newlyn to parents William Mann and Jane Maddran/Maddern. Their address was Boase Street, Newlyn according to the Census records. Edward was a blacksmith and emigrated to South Australia on The Peeress arriving 9th July 1865. He died in Melbourne, Australia on 16 November 1914 and is buried there. His siblings were Dorothy Tregurtha Mann b 1835, Richard b 1837, William Edwin b 1842, John Maddern b 1849. Dorothy married John Victor Mathews in 1862. Edward's father, William, b 28 October 1804 at Newlyn was reputed to have lost his life at sea on the Irish coast on 4 May 1877 whilst navigating a vessel from Newlyn to Ireland. No other details are known including the name of the vessel. All efforts to find any information about the incident over many years have been fruitless, including professional research. There is no death or burial record for him but he is commemorated on the family gravestone in the Paul Cemetery. Are you able to refer me to any source which may elaborate on this incident? I would be most grateful. A search of old newspapers of the time did not mention the presumed shipwreck either. I have full details of the descendants of Edward Mann and his wife Annie Green if you would like them. I find the Newlyn Archive website very interesting and hope to visit Newlyn one day to see where some of my ancestors originated.

    3. Hi Bill The birth of William Martins JENKYN was registered Penzance Dec Quarter 1852, so I would be inclined to accept the Royal Cornwall Gazette's version of his death. If he was born circa Dec 1852, however, he is unlikely to be the William in Towednack at the 1851 census. Unfortunately he was born and died between the two census years.

    1. [CORNISH-GEN] West Briton, 3 Dec 1858 - News - Cornubiana & Sir H. Davy
    2. Julia Mosman via
    3. WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER - transcribed by J. Mosman  3 DECEMBER 1858  CORNUBIANA THE WESTERN PENNINSULA (and Sir Humphry DAVY) The most westerly corporate town in England may justly pride itself on being the birth-place of one whose fame will never die – one whose name is known to every man of science in the civilized world, and whose splendid discoveries are recorded in all the first-class works on chemistry of the nineteenth century. If Sir Issac Newton discovered a law that affects all the great planetary orbs that compose our magnificent solar system, Davy investigated the nature of the finest atoms, and brought to light some of the latent gases, chemical properties, and laws by which they are governed. Some of his experiments were exceedingly hazardous, such as his inspirations of carburetted hydrogen, carbonic acid gas, axote, hydrogen, and nitric acid. One of his most important and valuable discoveries was that of the safety lamp, by which, no doubt, many lives have been saved. . Posterity cannot but honour the man whose labours tend to such results. He who endeavours to preserve the life of his fellow, the noblest work of the Almighty, must certainly be vastly superior to the individual who boasts and glories in its destruction. Sir Humphry must, therefore, be placed high up in the list of the world's truly great men. As a chemist and a discoverer, we may safely place him side by side with Sir Isaac Newton as an astronomer, &c. Much has been said and written about this celebrated Cornishman; all his biographers have spoken highly of his unwearied perseverance, and patient investigation. . In visiting the town in which he passed his youthful days, one feels inclined to ask some of the oldest inhabitants passing the streets, if they knew Sir Humphry Davy when he was a boy, and if he were like other boys, and if it were true that he secured all the old crocks and pans to perform his early experiments. A certain writer on the school-days of eminent men says, “Sir Humphrey Davy, when a boy, excelled in story-telling, partly from books, especially the Arabian Nights,and partly from old people, particularly from his grandmother Davy, who had a rich store of traditions and marvels. These stories were narrated by Davy to his boyish companions under the balcony of the Star Inn, and here with his playfellow ROWE, a printer of Penzance, Davy also exhibited his earliest chemical experiments, and by means of those of an explosive nature, many a trick was played on the innkeeper, and some other testy folks in the neighbourhood. This, and another boyish pursuit, followed him! into manhood, namely fishing, for when a child, with a crooked pin tied to a stick by a bit of thread, he would go through the movements of the angler, and fish in the gutter of the street in which he lived, and when he was able to wield a fishing-rod, or carry a gun, he roamed at large in quest of sport in the adjoining country.  . Under the same favourable circumstances, his taste for Natural History was indulged in a little garden of his own, which he kept in order, and “he was fond of collecting and painting birds and fishes.” DR. HENRY, in comparing Davy with WOOLASTON, says "To these high gifts of nature, which are the characteristics of genius, and which constitute its very essence, both these eminent men united an unwearied industry and zeal in research, and habits of accurate reasoning, without which even the energies of genius are inadequate to the achievements of great scientific designs. With these excellences common to both, they were nevertheless distinguished by marked intellectual peculiarities. Bold, ardent, and enthusiastic, Davy soared to greater heights, he commanded a wider horizon, and his keen vision penetrated to its utmost boundaries. His imagination, in the highest degree fertile and inventive, took a rapid and extensive range in the pursuit of conjectural analogies, which he s! ubmitted to close and patient comparison with known facts, and tried by an appeal to ingenious and conclusive experiments. He was endued with the spirit, and was a master of the practice, of the inductive logic, and he has left us some of the noblest examples of the efficacy of that great instrument of human reason, in the discovery of truth. He applied it, not only to connect classes of facts, of more limited extent and importanve, but to develop great and comprehensive laws, which embrave phenomena that are almost universal to the natural world. In explaining their laws, he cast upon them the illumination of his own vivid and clear conceptions; he felt an immense admiration of the beauty, order, and harmony which are conspicuous in the perfect chemistry of nature, and he expressed those feelings with a force of eloquence, which could issue only from a mind of the highest powers and the finest sensibilities." . Varfell, a small farm in Ludgvan, was for many years the property of the Davy family, and at one time, writes DAVIES GILBERT, actually belonged to Sir Humphry, whose name has reflected so much honour, not on Cornwall alone, but on the whole nation to which he belonged. The place lies a few yards to the right of the road leading from Gulval, and is nearly opposite the Marazion railway station. It may be easily distinguished by the tall fir trees on the west side of the dwelling. Rambling in this neighbourhood one fine day in August last, on arriving at the pathway field leading to Ludgvan church, the view of Saint Michael's Mont and the Bay was a most delightful one. The tide had flowed over a great part of the causeway leading from Marazion; two or three large waggons laden with coal were moving slowly along, the water reaching nearly to the middle of the wheel. Sometimes the tide rushes in very fast, and quickly covers the road. Being on the Mount a short time since with a friend, and perceiving the tide approaching the causeway, we hastened down to cross over; the water had just met. A waterman hailed us: “Here is my boat; you will get wet.” “No,” was the reply, “we shall run for it.” but ere we got half-way over, the tide was half-way up the leg, and laughing and splashing we got through wet only to the knee. . On the day alluded to the sea was beautifuly calm; scarcely "a ripple on the sandy shore;" Tregoning hill and the surrounding country dotted with numerous whitewashed cottages, their whiteness increased by the clear sunshine; Godolphin hill bringing to the recollection a page in English history when Sidney Godolphin was Lord High Treasurer of England, and Marlborough won his splendid victories. . At this spot the high land of Perranuthnoe hides a great part of the Lizard district. On approaching the church the bells struck out a merry peal, and passing the inn, it was evident that a wedding had taken place that morning. All seemed mirth and jollity within, connecting the fine scenery, the clear bright sunshine, the retired rustic situation, the happy faces of the party, brought involuntarily to the memory a line of Lord Byron's: "And all went merry as a marriage bell." . The church-yard and church-doors were open, and the door-keeper conducted me into the church, and answered most of my inquiries. In the panels of the pulpit there are several old carvings in box-wood let in even with the other parts. It is probable they were intended to represent some of the apostles. Just over the door, near the chancel, there is a plain marble tablet with the following inscription: "Sacred to the memory of Robert Davy, of Varfell, in this parish, who died the 16th day of December, 1796, aged 55 years. Also of Grace his wife who died the third day of September, 1826, aged 73 years. Their remains are interred in the eastern part of this churchyard, at the end of the south aisle. They were the parents of Sir Humphry Davy, late President of the Royal Society, &c., who died at Geneva, and was buried there. He was deprived of his father in his youth, but his mother lived long to rejoice with a meek and thankful spirit in the distinctions which rewarded the merit! s of their oldest child. This tablet, in testimony of grateful remembrance, has been erected by their surviving children." The expression in the tablet is remarkably beautiful, and one cannot but feel a pleasure in being told that Sir Humphry's mother lived to witness the distinctions and honours that were conferred on him. . Gulval Carne was a favourite spot of the great chemist. It faces Mount's Bay; the rocks are clad with ivy, and several kinds of low thick bushes grow about their base. Forty years ago it was not so public as it is at present; it is however a truly beautiful spot, and the view from the highest part is a delightful one. If the admirers and friends of the celebrated Cornishman were disposed to erect a monument that would be conspicuous, and attract the notice of all who visit the Western Penninsula, this carne, associated as it is with his early life and habits of retirement and study, would be a very suitable spot; but then it would be only a monument. Perhaps one of the best methods of preserving his memory would be to erect a tasteful, durable and detached building, containing a library and apperatus for the study of chemistry. Such a plan would not only be a perpetual monument to the memory of so great a man, but would also be a lasting benefit to many who might acquire som! e knowledge of a science that placed one of its most devoted followers on the highest pinnacle of fame. . The inhabitants of Truro have shown a grateful remembrance of their townsman, the enterprising Lander. The county of Cornwall erected a monument to the memory of Lord de Dunstanville; then why such apathy respecting the merits of one so truly deserving? A monument of some kind would be an honour to every man who assisted in erecting it. Strangers visiting the county next year will doubtless make some enquiries respecting him. Such enquirers may be told that several of the family are amongst the most respectable of the town - that Sir Humphry played some of his boyish pranks under the balcony of the Star Hotel – that the house in which he was born no longer exists - that he was very fond of Gulval Carne - that he became a very celebrated man, and died abroad. . A fact or two relative to an ancient legend connected with Ludgvan, will end the present notice. Whilst copying an acrostic on the name of Anne DAVY, at the east end of the church, an elderly man seated himself on one of the nearest tomb-stones. On asking him some questions relative to the virtues attributed to a spring of water running through the church-town, he told me that a great many years ago some wonderful qualities were conferred on the spring by a st. Paul; one was, that whoever was christened with the water from the spring, or well, would never be hanged with hemp, or killed in battle. Ludgvan men, said he, are not better than other folks, and some years ago, one of them committed a crime, and was condemned to be hanged. It was known to some that he had been baptised in infancy with Ludgvan water, and they had strong faith in its efficacy until the eve of the day fixed for the execution, when their confidence began to waver. It turned out a glorious triumph, said ! the old man, for Ludgvan water, for early the next morning the condemned one was found dead without any marks of violence. . In the French war, too, several from this parish were in some of the great battles, but not one that was sprinkled at his baptism with this water had been killed. Hundreds of bottles, said he, were formerly carried away to other parishes for the purpose of baptising, that the children might have the benefit of escaping death by the hempen cord, or the bullet. . On enquiring if the practice was continued, he replied that he did not believe that much was taken away now; "however," he observed by way of finish, "there is a family living up about St. Austell, that always bring their children down to Ludgvan to be christened." The stream is at present a small one, near the south gate, and does not appear to have that attention paid it that is reputed virtues would seem to demand. (to be continued_ ) . . ST. COLUMB CHURCH-YARD . To the EDITOR of the WEST BRITON . SIR - This subject has, in the last few weeks, occupied so much attention that I reluctantly ask you to insert my communication [..] as it appears that the observations of a Mr. DAVIS contained in the Cornwall Gazette on the 26th inst., are calculated or intended to convey to the public impressions which cannot be substantiated. . [I deem it but fair that I should offer some remarks on the matter, especially since one of the persons giving unfavourable testimony to the abettors of the church-yard alterations has been unjustly treated.] I refer to JAMES BENNEY, a young man more than 23 years of age, whom I have known from his birth; and, perhaps, no one has had so complete an opportunity of knowing his character as I have had, from the fact of his having been in my service several years when a youth. I, therefore, do not hesitate to say, that I know him as a young man of the strictist integrity, and as one whose statements I receive with confidence. . [However, I do not rely solely on his evidence, because that evidence can be supported by many who have stated the consequences of the grave-yard diggings, which have been carried out to an unwarrantable, if not unprecedented, extent.] . I am sorry that I entertain upon this question, opinions and feelings which are opposed to those of our Rev. Curate, because I must here do him the justice to remark, that I believe his motives to have been of a most praiseworthy character. . But I fear these proceedings have been injudiciously conducted. The depth to which the diggings have been carried, exceeds in some places three feet, and it so happens that I am peculiarly interested in the operations, so far as they have extended, because the grave of one whose memory is dear to me as having been the faithful and valued servant of my late father and myself, through a period of fifty years, has been so approached, as to leave the coffin separated from the atmosphere by little more than a foot of earth, thus giving the inevitable and the painful inference, that but for the interrupted work, the grave would have been wholly destroyed. . . So far then, I feel our Rev. Curate has been wrong in one point, a point in fact which can only be seriously entertained by those who, unlike the Rev. Gentleman, associate the best of human feelings with the memory of those whose remains rest in our church-yard. . But there is another consideration which affects alike the living, whether they do or do not revere the memory of the dead in that burial ground.  That consideration refers to the sanitary part of the proceedings, and after observing that I have been in this town more than 27 years as a medical practioner, I offer an unprejudiced and deliberate opinion, that had the diggings and excavations been continued, such procedure would have exposed the town to the strongest chances of disease as a consequence.  . I lament that this subject has provoked so much controversy and dispute, and I cannot refrain from adding, that while I believe these unwelcome innovations have been undertaken by strangers in misguided zeal and enthusiasm, I at the same time feel, that of those who really have that interest in our church-yard, which can only be possessed by the people of Saint Columb, a large majority will naturally and persistently express their disapprobation of such proceedings. . I here subjoin the facts as stated by two persons of unquestionable veracity. 1. A cart-load of church-yard earth on its way to the quarry with a portion of a human skull – seen by Miss RETALLICK, to whom one of the workmen admitted that many human bones had been so removed. 2. A coffin of considerable size lying exposed in the church-yard with the end broken in – the putrid and decomposing body exposed to view – seen by Mr. Martin A. WEST. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM MOORMAN Dated St. Columb, 27th November, 1858 Julia M.   West Briton Transcriptions, 1836-1856 at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wbritonad St. Austell Area History and Genealogy at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~staustell

    3. Hi Gordon, I Googled William CRABB and Elizabeth BUNT and found some leads for you. There is a family tree online which is definitely the family you're researching. See http://www.jeanajin.webspace.virginmedia.com/pages/Petherick%20Bunt%201707.rtf According to that, William CRABB was born in Braddock on February 10, 1737 or 1738. The same tree states that Elizabeth 'met' William on March 21, 1762. That was actually the marriage date (you can find it on the opc database, and also the banns which were called in Dec 1761 and Jan 1762). Their first child was William (BUNT or CRABB) who was christened in Cardinham on February 10, 1761. The dates, plus the alternate surnames, suggest that at least this child was born out of wedlock. There are records on Ancestry for this family as well which show a 2nd son: Gershom CRABB (1763 to 1839) and give William's birthplace as Bradoc and his parents as John CRABB (born 1713) and Sarah SOUTHEN (born 1715). Cornwall OPC database shows the marriage of John CRABB and Sarah SOUTHEN on July 14, 1734 in the parish of Landrake. Also on there is the christening of several children with the surname CRAPP (which has a similar sound to "CRABB") with parents John & Sarah: Sybella (1738), Sarah (1740), Sybella (1741) and Robert (1744), all christened in St Germans which is one of the next-door parishes to Landrake. Keeping in mind that these 'records' may only be clues, or family trees submitted by Ancestry members, other records on Ancestry show that John CRABB was born in Linkinhorne in 1713, parents John CRABB and Mary CROCKFORD. The family also features on Ancestry's "WorldConnect Project" which also have William's birthdate as February 10, 1738 in Linkinhorne. There are 6 "records" featured, and several of the database holders have links to trees. One says John CRABB (father of William) was born c.1713 in Linkinhorne, married Sarah Southen in Landrake in 1734, and died in Landrake. His father was another John (born May 25, 1688 in Saint Ive), married Mary CROCKFORD on October 25, 1708 in Linkinhorne. And that John CRABB's father was Edward CRABB (born Tywardreath May 6, 1666) married Joann about 1687 in Callington. There are some obvious errors and guesses (such as Eliabeth HUNT), so tread cautiously and try and confirm information from actual records. For example, OPC database, transcribed from the BT's, has the baptism of John CRABB, son of Edward and Johan, on May 25, 1688 in Saint Ive, and the baptism of Edward CRAB, son of William, in Tywardreath on May 6, 1666. This is a shortened URL to the World Connect Project page from which I got the above information. http://tinyurl.com/pohk2uw In the left hand column beneath the name is an icon which takes you to the pedigree which has been filled in by the submitter. At the bottom of the page, you can enter other information and see what turns up. You also may be able to contact the submitters. If that requires an Ancestry subscription, many libraries have one.

    3. Dear List: I sent out the below request for help quite some time ago but unfortunately had no response. I thought I might try it one more time before I discard it. Possibly someone researching the Bunt family might have some helpful data. Again, I would like to thank the OPC’s for their help in getting this far. Kindest regards, Gordon Dear List After several years of chasing my CRABB tree, I arrive at the doorstep of William Crabb who married Elizabeth Bunt in Cardinham in 1762. Their son John who married ( I believe) Mary Kelly in St Austell circa 1792 is my direct line. The problem now is William. There were no Crabb families in Braddock/Cardinham in 1762. There are no deaths of an adult William Crabb to be found in Braddock/Cardinham. But William and Elizabeth were married in Cardinham and raised their family in Braddock. Where did he come from? Where did he go? What was his age? Who were his parents? The marriage entry lists no parents for William and indicates he was living in the area at the time. I have no conclusive evidence of anything. None I am leaning to him being William Crabb of Lanlivery the son of John Crabb and Elizabeth Berry who were married in Fowey. They raised their family in Lanlivery then they too disappeared. William Crabb of Lanlivery was born in 1724 which would have made him 15 years older than Elizabeth Bunt. That concerns me a little. The only clues I have ( based on my limited genealogy experience) are two items. but I have no proof. 1. Lanlivery is a lot closer to Cardinham than other William Crabb’s who would be in the appropriate age bracket at that time. 2. When I examine the names of the children of William and Elizabeth, I find them to be the same names as the siblings of William of Lanlivery. Obviously that is not proof and gives me little satisfaction. The OPC’s have been very helpful with their efforts and I would like to thank them for their support but I still have no proof. My hope is that there may be someone on the list who has researched this family and can take me a step further. I would appreciate any help. Kindest regards, Gordon Crabb, USA

SMITH and ROBERTS, Dated 24th November, 1858.  Truro._ ________________________ A Cure of 50 Years' Asthmatic Cough at the Age of 66, by Dr. LOCOCK'S Pulmonic Wafers. FROM Mr. William WOMLINSON, Bookseller, 15 Stodman-street, Newark. "A lady of this town (whome I can refer any not to privately), who is now in the 66th year of her age, has been afflicted with a most violent asthmatic cough ever since she was 15 years old. For many years she has been constantly under medical attendance, and all means tried in vain to remove her complaint. About two months ago she was induced, though at the time apparently on the brink of the grave, to try the above medicine, which, through the Divine blessing, has not only removed her cough, but her lungs appear quite regenerated: her appetite, rest, & c., has returned, and her general health is wonderfully improved" Dr. Locock's Pulmonic Wafers give instant relief and a rapid cure of asthma, consumption, coughs, and all disorders of the breath and lungs. To singers and public speakers they are invaluable for clearing and strengthening the voice. They have a pleasant taste. Price 1s. 1-1/2 d., 2s 9d., and 1! 1s. per box. Sold by all druggists. CAUTION. - Every box of the Genuine Medicine has the words "Dr. Locock's WAFERS" in white letters on a red ground in the Government Stamp, and without which words all are counterfeits and an imposition.  ________________________________ THE BLESSING OF HEALTH: BY HOLLOWAY's PILLS. WHY ARE DISEASES FATAL? - Merely because we prescribe for their effect, instead of their cause, and try to relieve symptoms instead of striking at their root. The action of these Pills is precisely the reverse. They expel from the secretive organs and the circulation the morbid matter which produces inflammation, pain, fever, debility, and physical decay; and the basis of disease being removed, its manifestations vanish. While ordinary remedies only afford a temporary respite to the sufferer, whereas these Pills annihilate the disorder. BILIOUS and LIVER COMPLAINTS frequently lead to the worst phases of human suffering , yet how many are thus afflicted unknowing the means of cure, placed within their grasp: such should take a few boxes of these Pills according to the directions given in the books, and their ailments will quickly leave them; in short, most disease incidental to the human frame may be quickly subdued by their uses. DROPSICAL SWELLINGS AND TURN OF LIFE. - This is a most distressing period in women's history, it destroys thousand, the whole of the gross humors collect together, and like a tide sweep away health and life itself, if not timely and powerfully checked. The most certain remedy for all these dangerous symptoms is Holloways' Pills. Armed with this great antidote, the fiery ordeal is passed through, and the sufferer is once more restored to the possession of unimpaired health. These Pills are equally officious in all female complaints, and obstructions at the dawn of womanhood. Holloway's Pills are the nest remedy known in the world for the following diseases:  Ague, Asthma, Bilious Complaints, Bletches on the Skin, Bowel Complaints, Colic, Constipation of the Bowels, Consumption, Debility, Dropsy, Dysentary, Erysipea, Female Irregularities, Fevers of all kinds, Fits, Gout, Head-ache, Indigestion, Inflammation, jaundice, Liver Complaints, Lumbago, Piles, Rheumatism, Retention of urine, Scrofula, or King's Evil, Sore Throats, Stone and Gravel, Secondary Symptoms, Tic-Doloureux, Tumors, Ulcers, general Affections, Worms of all kinds, Weakness, from whatever cause &c., &c. Sold at the Establishments of PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY, 244 Strand, (near Temple Bar, London; also by all the respectable Druggists and Dealers in Medicines throughout the civilized world, at the following prices: - 1s. 1-1/2 d., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., 11s., 22s., and 33s. each box. There is considerable saving by taking the larger sizes. N.B. - Directions for the guidance of patients in every disorder are affixed to each box. ____________________________________ TRURO POLICE. - On Friday last, before the mayor (Dr. BARHAM) and Mr. W.T. CHAPEL, magistrate. Mary PEARSE, wife of James Pearse, a lighterman, of Truro, was charged with being drunk and disorderly in Lemon street, and annoying her husband. The husband stated that for some time past the prisoner had been much addicted to drinking; had spent the money which he gave her for housekeeping, and neglected his home. About a quarter after eight o'clock on the evening of the previous day, she followed him through the street while in liquor, abusing him, and collecting a crowd of boys about him, and being unable to prevail upon her to go home, he brought her to the station house and gave her in charge. The wife now expressed regret for what had occurred, and promised to abstain from drink in the future. Pearse said that he did not wish to press the charge, and as they both promised to endeavour to live comfortably together for the future, the prisoner was discharged with a caution tha! t if she was again brought up on a similar charge she would be required to find sureties for her good behavior. Thomas TARRENT, a shoe-maker, of Truro, who had been apprehended on a warrant, was charged with having assaulted Mary HARE wife of William Hare, pensioner, residing in Boscawen Row. Torrent had recently married Hare's daughter, and his father-in-law had kindly allowed him to live in his house until such time as he was in a position to make other arrangements. Tarrant when sober is a steady man, but it seems he is in the habit of indulging occasionally in a carouse, and while in liquor, he is very pugnacious. Recently while in one of his drunken fits, he struck his wife, and Mrs. Hare, as was natural, interfered on behalf of his daughter, when he up with his fist and struck her a blow on the eye, knocking her down. He now expressed contrition for what had occurred, said that he was so drunk that he did not know what he was doing, and promised never again to repeat the offense. Under these circumstances, Mrs. Hare stated that she did not wish to press the charge, and the defen! dant was dismissed on paying the expenses. On Wednesday, before Mr. CHAPPEL and Mr. E. MICHELL, Richard DENNIS, a housekeeper, at the Union Hotel, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance in Boscawen-street, and assaulting James BURNETT, stone-mason, of James' place, Truro. The assault was witnessed by P.C. CHRISTOPHER, but the complainant not wishing to press the charge, not having received any great injury, it was dismissed , and the prisoner was then fined 5s. and costs for being drunk. Caroline CERVEN, a vagrant, from Penzance, was charged by P.C. GAY, with begging about the streets of Truro. On being brought to the police station, a bundle which she carried was found to contain a quantity of provisions sufficient to last a poor man, his wife, and three or four children for two or three days, and although she denied having any money about her, yet on being searched by the female searchers, 2s. 11/2, all in copper coin, was found in her possession. Being an old offender, she was committed to fourteen days’ hard labour in the house of correction. COMMITTAL. - At the Truro Police Court, on Thursday, the 25th inst., Alice POLLARD, who belongs to Penzance, was committed to take her trial at the next quarter sessions of this county, for keeping an improper house in the parish of St. Mary; and Mr. Superintendent NASH, Sergeant WOODCOCK, and P.C. JOHNS, of the Truro Police were bound over to give evidence.  REDRUTH POLICE. - John BERRYMAN, as in-door pauper of the Redruth Union, was apprehended on the 17th instant for assaulting John PEMBERTHY, governor of the union, and was taken the same day before Mr. MAGOR, county magistrate, and committed to Bodmin gaol for six weeks, with hard labour. William CROWLE, of Redruth, was apprehended on the 27th instant, for being drunk and disorderly in the streets of Redruth. He was taken before Mr. S. DAVEY, and fined 5s. and costs. He was allowed time to pay the money, and in default of payment, to be committed to Bodmin Gaol, it being the fourth time he has been convicted in the last sight or ten months for drunkenness.  HELSTON. - On Saturday, at the Borough Petty Sessions, William James TAYLOR, and James BLEE, miners, were fiend for disturbing the peace. Thomas W. GOACH, landlord of the White Hart Inn, was fined GBP1 for having a party in the house drinking on the Sunday morning previous, and was cautioned as to his future conduct. The most energetic measures are being carried out by Mr. ROGERS, the Mayor, against drinking in public houses during the prohibited hours, and he is also determined to put a stop to disorderly behavior in the streets at night, little attention having been paid to these matters for the last two or three years. On Saturday, the town crier gave notice that in future the streets are to be cleared of the the market people at ten o'clock p.m., which is quite a necessary measure, as frequently close on Sunday morning people have been allowed to  carry on business which might easily have been done before so late an hour. FALMOUTH POLICE. - At the Guildhall, on Tuesday, before Mr. MOORMAN, Mayor, and Mr. T. ROGERS, magistrate, Joseph MIDDLETOWN, master of the barque "Gratitude," was summoned to answer John ANDERSON, a seaman, for an assault. It appeared by the evidence, that on the 17th instant, complainant came on shore with the captain; on going off to the ship, some altercation took place between Anderson and the captain, and on getting alongside the captain struck complainant on the head with an oar. Mr. GONN appeared for complainant. The Mayor said the assault was proved, and that no provocation on the part of the complainant towards the captain justified his assaulting the man in the way he had done. The bench fined defendant GBP1 and costs. Mary PRIGGINS was brought up in custody, charged with having committed an assault on Mrs. Jane TOMS, landlady of the Duke of York Inn, by striking her on the head with a teapot, inflicting a cut about two inches in length. The magistrates fined the defendant 7s. and 8s. costs, or fourteen days’ imprisonment. FELONY. - At Truro, on Monday last, a woman of loose character, named Carolin PAULL, was charged, before the Mayor and Mr. W.R. CHAPEL, magistrate, with having stolen a boy’s cape, of the value of 16s. and a cotton handkerchief, the property of William POLLARD, a miner. It appeared that the prisoner came from Great Wheal Busy, and the prosecutor is a miner working at that mine. On Saturday last he visited Truro, for the purpose of purchasing some articles of clothing. After he had bought the cape, he remained in Truro some time, and during his rambles about the town he met the prisoner, and knowing her as a former resident in his neighborhood, he accepted her invitation to accompany her to her lodgings. he stated that he was induced to do in order that he endeavour to win her from the error of her ways, but however that may be, when he got there he sent for some beer, and after partaking of two or three glasses, he began to feel fatigued, and he asked her if he could sleep i! n the house for that night. She replied that he could, and pointed to a bed, the charge for which was 2s. He paid her the money, and went to bed, placing the bundle containing the cape under his pillow. In a short time after, he discovered that the bundle was gone, and he called to the prisoner to bring it back to him; but she denied having taken it, and ran down stairs. He remained in the room until the prisoner returned at twelve o'clock, bringing with her a man named W.H. TUCKER, of Calenick-street, who keeps the house in which the prisoner resided. Tucker asked the prosecutor what business he had there, and on being told, he laid hold of the latter and endeavored to thrust him out of the room.  During the uproar, P.C. NORTHER, who happened to be passing, interfered, and the prisoner was given into custody. On the way to the police station, she stated that another girl had stolen the bundle, and concealed it in an ash-pit in a yard adjoining the premises, and on the officer searching this place, he found it in the spot indicated. The prisoner now pleaded guilty, and preferring to have the case summarily dispose of, rather than transferred to the next quarter sessions at Bodmin, she was sentenced to two months' hard labour. Tucker was then charged as an accomplice, but denied all knowledge of the robbery. The magistrates expressed their belief that he was guilty, and ought to be committed to the quarter sessions to take his trial. They would, however, give him the benefit of the doubt this time; but they informed him that if ever he was again brought before them for a similar offense he would be dealt with most severely. APPRENTICE COMMITTED.-  At St. Austell, on the 18th instant, Broughton John RUNETTE was charged before Mr. LAKES, county magistrate, with neglecting and refusing to work as an apprentice with Mr. HAMMER, tailor. This was the second time he had been charged with the offense, and he was now committed to the house of correction for 14 days hard labour. VESSEL LOST. - On Thursday evening, the 18th inst., as the schooner "Unity," of Looe, Captain BOWDEN, was on her voyage from Neath to Plymouth, with a cargo of coals, when off Gorran Haven, she struck upon the Yaw rock, and very soon swung off, when she was found to be in a sinking state. The Captain immediately tried to run her on Colona beach, which was close at hand. The crew being, however, afraid she would not keep afloat long enough to reach the beach, left in the boat, when he almost directly sunk about 100 fathoms from the shore. On the day following, all her spars, sails, ropes, and everything that could be got at, were taken from her, and on Tuesday last she was sold for GBP17. The Captain knew the rock, and thought he was further from it that he really was. The vessel was uninsured, and the men lost all their clothes. BODY FOUND.- On Tuesday last the body of a man was discovered at the foot of a cliff about half a mile from Mevagissey. It was immediately converted to the poor-house, and was identified by the clothes it had on, as the body of William ROUSE, late mate of the steamer "Albatross," who was drowned about a month since by falling from the above-named vessel. A Coroner's inquest was held on the following day, when a verdict of "found drowned" was returned. The body was removed to St. Austell for interment.  FOUND DROWNED.- On the morning of the 24th instant, a woman was found drowned at Trewornan Bridge, in the parish of St. Minver, and, until the evening of the  same day, no one could be found to identify her, when she was discovered so be the wife of a man called KITTOW, waggoner at the Camel slate quarry. CORONER'S INQUEST.- The following inquests have been held before Mr. Hitchens  county coroner - On the 22nd instant, at Camborne, on the body of Mary Odgers. aged 64 years. The deceased left her dwelling house between eight and nine o'clock on the evening of Saturday last, to go in the town in search of one of her sons, and when opposite the shop of Mr. Whear,  printer and auctioneer, near the market-place, was heard by him to exclaim, "I am dying," "I am dying," and on looking out he saw her fall to the ground. He immediately called for assistance, and the deceased was taken up lifeless and carried to her home. Verdict, "natural death". On the following day, at Halsetown, in the parish of St. Ives, on the body of James NICHOLAS, aged about 4 months. The infant was taken to bed by his mother on Monday night last about ten o’clock, apparently in his usual health, but he had been weakly child from his birth, and after [….] him she laid him down by her side and both went to sleep. She nursed him again about three o'clock in the morning without discovering that there was nothing the matter with him but on awaking about six, she found him dead by her side. This was the first and only child of the parents, who showed great affection for him, and they being both persons of good character, the jury without hesitation procured a verdict of "accidental death."  BURNT TO DEATH. - On Friday last an inquest was held at Tregarland, in the parish of Morval, before Mr. JAGO, coroner, on the body of Sarah CRABB, a pauper, 83 years of age, who was burnt to death. Deceased retired to rest as usual on Thursday evening, but not appearing the following morning at he  accustomed hour, nor for some time after, one of her neighbors went to her room, and found her lying on the ground, near the fire-place, quite dead, and severely burnt. Verdict, "accidentally burnt." ACCIDENT. - On Friday, as a workman was employed on the farm of Mr. Thomas OLVER,of Corgarlow, in the parish of Morval, with six oxen and a horse, drawing up earth from the bottom of a field, over a quarry, by some mistake in turning, two of the oxen broke loose, and the others, with the horse, were precipitated over the height, which was upwards of thirty feet, and quite perpendicular. All escaped unhurt, with the exception of one of the oxen breaking its horn, which was obliged to be taken off. As Mr. BOASE, of Penzance, surgeon, was returning from Mousehole, on Friday last, on the cliff, a little to the the Penzance side of that place, he drew in his horse to allow another vehicle to pass him. In doing so, his gig upset, and he and his assistant were violently thrown out; the latter fortunately escaped uninjured; Mr. Boase fell on his right side and sustained a severe blow on the shoulder, which will prevent for a short time his following his profession avocations. SUFFERED LOSS OF THE "CUBA," SCREW STEAMSHIP.- Considerable anxiety was evinced on Monday last, in London, regarding the fate of a new iron screw steamer called the "cabs," 1,000 tons burden, trading from the Thames, which was reported to have foundered off the Land's-end during the recent heavy easterly gale, and it was feared that many of the crew had gone down with her. She belonged to Messrs. ROBINSON, of Mark lane, the agents of the St. Petersburg Steam-ship Company, and we understand was on a passage from Waterford and Cardiff to London. She had taken in part of a cargo of coals at Cardiff, and was making round the Land's-end to pursue her course up the English Channel when she encountered a succession of the heavy easterly winds. She labored fearfully for some time, and at length sprang a leak which entirely baffled all efforts. The chief mate, Mr. T. F. MARSH, perceiving there was no chance of saving the ship, with the steward and eleven hands took to one of the boat! s, and abandoned the vessel, leaving Captain APPLETON, the master, and the rest of the crew, fifteen in number, on board in the set of leaving in another boat to follow them, but whether they succeeded in getting away the mate is unable to state; the darkness of the night and fearful weather that prevailed prevented them seeing the unfortunate steamer a few minutes after they had left her. The sea had extinguished her fires, the hip was quite unmanageable, and the water was two feet above the chief cable  (saloon) deck. As near as the mate could make out, the ship was abandoned between forty and sixty miles northwest of Scilly. The boat which took off the mate and ten hands was buffeted about the ocean for sixteen hours, and the poor fellows suffered much from exposure and cold. They were at length seen by the schooner "Annie Grant." Captain HEATH, of Dartmouth, which was on a voyage from Zante to Plymouth, who at once bore down to them, and after some difficulty succeeded ! in picking them up. On hearing of the condition of the steamer! and the likelihood of Captain Appleton and the other hands having managed to leave the ship, Captain Heath bore up for five hours, in the hope of hearing or seeing something of them. No tidings, however, could be gleaned, and the schooner bore up for Kindle, and arrived there on Sunday. So long a time having elapsed since the steamer was abandoned without any intelligence being received of the master and the remainder, has led to a belief that they must have perished, but it is possible they may have been picked up by some outward bound ship. The "Cuba" was 300 horse power. She is reported not to have been insured at Lloyd's. The names of those  in the missing boat are Captain Richard Thomas APPLETON, master; Mr. William M’GRATH, second mate; James CASSEL?, carpenter; William RICHARDSON, third mate; Frederick PARKLER, cook; Robert Richard Thomas ….. [incomplete] _________________________________________________ STEALING FROM A MASTER. — At the Truro police court, on Wednesday last, before the Mayor and Mr. CHAPPEL, GeorgeMABIN, a journeyman baker, from Plymouth, who has been for some months past in the employ of Mr. John FURNISS, baker and confectioner, Church-lane, Truro, was charged with stealing, on the 13th instant, five loaves of bread, of the value of 2s. 1d., the property of his master. The prosecutor occupies two shops facing each other in this lane; in one of which he carries on the confectionery business, and in the other the cutlery trade. He resides in the latter, and on the day in question Mrs. FURNISS, on looking out of the window, saw the prisoner, while her daughter was engaged in attending to customers, come out of the baker's shop with a basket containing five loaves of bread, and go up the street. This being a very unusual thing, there being a boy employed to carry the bread out, Mrs. Furniss mentioned what she had seen to her daughter, who stated that they had not directed the prisoner to take any bread out. The prisoner was next interrogated, and he at first denied the charge most  positively, but at last stated that he recollected having taken some bread to Mrs. MATHEWS, the owner of a van, but on inquiry being made a day or two after, she stated that she had not received any bread on the 13th, from the prisoner or any one else. Mr. Furniss then told him that he was satisfied he had been robbing him. Subsequently it was ascertained that the prisoner had been in the habit for months past of supplying bread to Mrs. COLLINS of Edward-street, and that the loaves had been taken there. It appeared that the prisoner on coming to Truro, had taken  house belong to Mrs. Collins, and she living next door, and knowing him to be a baker by trade, ordered him to bring her bread, and he had done so for the last eight months, receiving payment regularly. He had never acquainted Mr. Furniss with this order, nor had he ever accounted for the money which he had received. Upon this Mr. Furniss applied for a warrant for the prisoner's apprehension, and on Wednesday morning he was taken into custody by Superintendent Nash, to whom he admitted having taken the bread. The depositions having been taken, the prisoner was remanded till the next day, when he pleaded guilty, and was summarily committed to the house of correction for two months. _________________________________ SHOPLIFTING. - On Wednesday afternoon, a man named John MACINTOSH, alias Robert CARLEW, who stated that he came from Inverness, in Scotland, called at the shop of Mr. JAMES, chemist, Lemon-street, Truro, and asked to look at some hair combs. Several were shown him, but to all he made some objection, and at last left the shop without purchasing any. Immediately after, Mr. James missed a valuable snuff-box from the counter, which he had seen there just before the man had entered the shop, and he told Mr. MICHELL, an assistant, that he suspected the fellow had stolen it. The assistant went after Macintosh and brought him back; upon being told that he was suspected of having stolen a snuff-box, he pretended to be very indignant at the imputation, pulled off his coat and said they might search it. Mr. James, however, was not satisfied with searching this, and on feeling down the fellow’s trousers, he discovered the box concealed between the lining and the top of his boots. P.C. G! AY was then sent for, and he was given into custody. On being searched at the police-station, an unsoiled copy of the Farmer's Almanac for 1859 was found in his possession, and it was afterwards ascertained that he had stolen this from the shop of Mr. BLACKER, bookseller, Truro. The prisoner was brought before Mr. CHAPPEL, magistrate, on Wednesday afternoon, and remanded till the next day, when he leaded guilty and was summarily committed to a month's hard labour for stealing the snuff box, and another month for stealing the almanac. ___________________________________________________________ HUSBANDRY FROM THE LANDLORD'S POINT OF VIEW. There have been so many things said at agricultural meetings during the past autumn, which, for some cause or other were worth nothing, that our limits have not permitted more than a glance at a few of them at the time of their occurrence. Some of them, however, have such a bearing on the permanent interests of English agriculture, that, though no longer news, they form fit subjects for comment. Thus, in Norfolk, at the North Waltham Agricultural Society, Lord WODEHOUSE, passing by the ordinary topics of practical husbandry, said :  "He should confine himself to what might be called a landlord's point of view, with which those present had for the most part, some considerable acquaintance. It was extremely important that landlords and tenants should duly understand and appreciate their mutual relations, and in what manner they could best work in unison, and promote the interests of agriculture, which were the common interests of both."  This is much to the purpose. A landowner is not necessarily a farmer, but the degree of knowledge with which he manages his estate has a most important influence on the interests of the farmers who occupy his land. But this is a topic of which landowners generally are very shy. They are too commonly conscious that their systems of management will not bear public discussion.

BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. (Electric and International Company.) LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25. SENTENCE OF M. DE MONTALEMBERT. - Paris, Wednesday night. - The case of M. De Montalembert was tried to day at the Correctional Police. Proceedings commenced at twelve o'clock precisely. The pleading lasted till half-past six. The Tribunal was one hour considering the verdict; the sitting resumed at half-past seven. The verdict sentences Montalembert to six month's imprisonment and 3000 francs fine. The Editor of the Correspondent is sentenced to one months' imprisonment and 1,000 franc fine.  It is reported that an Anglo French fleet will leave on the 19th December for the Gulf of Mexico. The French fleet will have on board a battery of artillery, in order to oppose any enterprise of the Filibusters against Central America. GENERAL NEWS. The Times, in a most severe leader upon the prosecution and sentence of Montalembert, concludes by asking "what a fate the Emperor imagines he is preparing for himself and his dynasty, by proceedings like the present. Have all the lessons of a long adversity, of a severe imprisonment, of a protracted and dangerous struggle with the hostile legislature, been thrown away? and does there remain nothing of these rude, but, we had hoped, salutary lessons, except the disposition to inflict on those who thwart his will the pains which he himself endured. When will sovereigns remember that nations must be educated as well as ruled. And he who deliberately shuts out from his subjects the ennobling influence of free discussion, is preparing them for gross delusions, unfounded panics, violent animosities and furious revenges; in a word, for the indulgence of all those evil passions which are best regulated and corrected by an open heart and a well-disciplined intellect." Admiral Lord LYONS died at Arundel Castle on Tuesday night. The "Great Eastern" will probably be ready for sea next Midsummer. The first year's trips will be between this country and Portland, in Canada; where she will be eventually employed is undecided, but it is suggested that she should be employed as a great trunk line of communication with India. A deputation from the Anti-opium Association had an interview with Lord STANLEY; he promised that the government would lend no support or countenance to the reaffix. The severe cold abated last evening in London. A slight rain has fallen; weather mild this morning. _____________________________________________ LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. BAIL COURT, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice CROMPTON and a Common Jury) LIDSTONE v. MASKEW. Mr. COLLIER and Mr. FIELD where counsel for the plaintiff; Mr.H.T. COLE for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a printer and publisher, of Plymouth, against the defendant, a clergyman of the church of England, at Penzance, for the recovery of hi bill for printing a volume of the defendant’s sermons. The defendant paid GBP5 into court. The parties met in 1853, and had a conversation relative to the publication of the sermons, the defendant stating that it was the wish of his congregation, and was also his own desire, that his sermons should be published. The defendant expressed a wish to have them published on good paper and in rather an expensive manner, and he then gave the defendant some manuscript, and so supplied him from time to time, and the sermons were partly printed. The defendant removed from Penzance to Dorchester, and then went abroad, and the plaintiff did not hear anything of him for some years, but eventually found he was living at Zante, in the Ionian Islands, whither he had gone as chaplain to the forces. The plaintiff's a! ttorney then wrote the defendant demanding GBP53. The defendant replied, promising to pay some money on account on the 1st of January, 1858. The plaintiff wrote to the defendant, saying that if he had gone to Zante really with a view of paying his creditors, he would give him any reasonable time. The plaintiff afterwards received a letter from an attorney of the defendant, saying that he had instructions to endeavour to settle with the defendant's creditors, but he feared the sum he should have to offer would be very small. To this the plaintiff replied that he would not take 19s. 11d. in the pound, and added that the defendant was a "little professing, canting saint." The plaintiff in the course of his cross-examination said he had charged interest, because it was a very hard case. The defendant returned to England this year, and then wished the plaintiff to complete the work, and wrote to him, stating that if he would do so he would at once send him GBP10, and pay him the remainder as soon as the volume was completed .The plaintiff wrote to the defendant refusing to go on with the work unless his former bill were paid, and that if that were not done by a certain day, saying "If I cannot have your chattels, i will have your body inside a gaol." A printer who was called to prove the reasonableness of the charge, said he was in the habit of printing both of both High and Low Church, but principally the sermons were High Church, as that church was fond of ornament, and these were ornamental. For the defence it was admitted that the plaintiff was entitled to some sum above that which had been paid into court, but it was urged that the sum charged was much too high. In an evil hour the defendant had consulted the plaintiff about publishing twelve sermons, and the plaintiff had told him he would do it for GBP36. The defendant sent the plaintiff some of the manuscript, but in consequence of the illness of his sister, he was obliged to go to Zante, and had not been able to complete the volume. The plaintiff had charged 15s. a half-sheet for correcting proofs, but he had not produced any of them by which the jury would have been enabled to see what had been done. The bill should be reduced from GBP40 to GBP16. Mr. Cox, the printer, of Lincoln's-inn-fields, said the proper sum was GBP16 15s. It was agreed that upon this evidence, without hearing more speeches, the jury should decide. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for GBP14 12s. 6d., in addition to the GBP5 paid into court. _________________________________________ THE BASSET HUNT. A general invitation having been given to Mr. BASSET to the leading gentry and tenantry of the neighborhood, connected with the late demonstration, to meet at Tehidy House at 10:30 on Wednesday morning, about 150 gentlemen, well mounted, and about 400 pedestrians met at the mansion, where an excellent breakfast was prepared. The tables of the large dining-room and other apartments were well laden with substantial joints and the choicest delicacies of the season. The massive gold vases and shields ornamenting the dining-room, gave to the whole a style of elegance baffling description. our attention was particularly struck with the magnificent pines and grapes on the tables, and the splendid collections of orchid flowers filling the gold vases. At 11:30 the whole party started, and, from a number of the gentlemen being dressed in true hunting costume, ....... [incomplete] EMIGRATION TO NEW ZEALAND - By an official notice in another column, we observe that Mr. WILCOCKS, of Plymouth, Emigration agent for the Provincial Government of Auckland, New Zealand, is prepared to make free grants of forty acres of land to persons actually proceeding thither. THE ARRIVAL OF MAIL PACKETS AT FALMOUTH -  A correspondent writes as follows: The Southampton people are greatly "riled" at the mail steamers "Ceylon" and "Magdalena" putting into Falmouth last week and would "burke" the facts. The "Ceylon's" cause of putting in, they try to explain away, and the "Magdalena's" arrival at Falmouth, was quite ignored by the London papers, or at least by some of them. The Daily News merely stated the "Magdalena" had arrived at Southampton from the West Indies on Friday, and after giving dates of calling at different ports, and a few bits of West Indian news, it concludes by saying "The Magdalena's mails were landed at Southampton." What occasion was there for saying this if she had not touched at any other port in the channel, as every one of course would infer that she had arrived at Southampton, that the mails were landed there. (See Daily News of Saturday). Our correspondent refers also to the following paragraph which appeared in the Daily News in relation to the "Magdalena"; "The West India Packet was telegraphed off Hurst Castle at 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon, and she ought to have arrived in Southampton dock at four o'clock. A dense fog, however, came on about three o'clock, and the "Phoenix" steamer was sent out in search of the "Magdalena." The fog horns were blowing from all the vessels in Southampton Water, and collisions were apprehended. The "Phoenix" nearly ran into the "arrogant" frigate, and was nearly ran into by an Isle of Wight steamer. Several boats went out in search of the “Magdalena,” and returned without finder her, amongst which was the Custom-house boat, with Dr. WIBLIN, the quarantine officer, and Mr. O’BREE , the superintending tide surveyor. After three hours' traversing up and down Southampton Water, the "Phoenix" found the "Magdalena" off Hamble Creek, not four miles from the docks." The above is an illustration of the delays and risks of the Channel navigation, which would be avoided by making Falmouth the port for departure and arrival of the packets. Had we (observes our correspondent) a railway to Falmouth, or even to Truro, the "Magdalena's" mail would have been delivered in London on Friday morning, instead of arriving on Saturday from Southampton. MARRIAGE OF LORD ASHBURTON. - The marriage of Lord Ashburton with Miss STEWART MACKENZIE, youngest daughter of the Hon. Mrs. Stewart Mackenzie, and grand-daughter of Lord SEAFORTH, was performef by special license on Thursday afternoon, at Bath House, Piccadilly. The Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Bath, and a select party were present at the ceremony, which was performed in the drawing room. The Bishop of Oxford officiated at the religious solemnity. The Ladies PROBY, Miss ANGRUTHER, and Miss DAWKINS acted a bridesmaids on the occasion. A dejeuner, to which thirty relatives and friends were invited.         Julia M.

    3. Hello, list; my umpteenth g-grandfather William Lanion of Morvahthe (Morvah) in his will of 1619 left " To my garnd child Allexander BOLYTHO one colt of a yeere old". The witnesses also included an Alexandr Bolithoe. I believe a witness cannot be a beneficiary. William Lanion mentioned three daughters, so I presume one of them married Alexander. the will was proved in 1619. Has anyone any idea about these early Bolithos? I always thought there were none of that name in the Penwith area until James came to St. Just in the early 1700s. Any help welcome, Horton in fine cold Penzance, watching Rugby by the fire.
