There was a letter to the editor regarding the early closing of drapers, asking why those hours could not be extended to chemists, since they have a much more difficult job, being that they have to smell the chemicals they mix, and "they often work mentally to a far greater degree".  Julia .......................................................................................................... West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser 12 November, 1858 . LOCAL INTELLIGENCE . THE PRINCE OF WALES AND DUKE OF CORNWALL - The Prince of Wales, as may be seen in the Gazette which we publish this day, has been invested with the rank of a Colonel in the Army. The significance of this event is, that it marks the period when the Heir to the British Throne is about to take rank among men, and to enter formally upon a career which every loyal subject of the Queen will pray may be a long and happy one for his own sake, and for the sake of the vast empire which in the course of nature he will one day be called upon to govern. The best wish that we can offer for the young Prince is that, in his own path, he may ever keep before him the bright example of his Royal mother, and show himself worthy of her name. Times of Wednesday. . BIBLE CHRISTIAN CHAPEL, POLMASSICK - The anniversary of the above place of worship was held on Monday last. On the preceding days sermons were preached by Mr. GILBERT, of St. Austell. A tea meeting was held in the chapel on Monday, which was well attended, after which there was a public meeting, presided over by Mr. MOSES PARNELL, and addressed by several friends. . OPENING OF A NEW CHURCH - On Wednesday the 4th instant, the New District Church of St. John's, Halsetown, near St. Ives, was opened for Divine worship. Halsetown is a large scattered village within two miles of St. Ives. The church stands in the immediate neighbourhood of some considerable mines, about a mile from St. Ives, on an elevated spot which will make its tower, when finished, a conspicuous object from the sea. It is a noble building, in the early English style, with lofty nave and chancel, north and south aisles, simple open roof, and clerestory windows. There is accommodation for 458, and the seats, which are all open and free, are substantial, and very convenient. The church was crowded at the opening services, and there was a considerable attendance of the clergy. The vicar of the parish, Rev. U. TONKIN, delivered an admirable sermon from Genesis xxviii, v 16, 17. Nearly GBP 50 was collected at the Offertory. . WESLEYAN MISSIONS - On Sunday last, two sermons were preached in behalf of the Wesleyan Missions at Holmbush. On the Tuesday following a public meeting was held, when effective addresses were made by Messrs. POLGLASE, ROWSE, MAYNE, FERREL, and ALLEN, the meeting being ably presided over by Mr. HORE of Charlestown. Collections were made after each of the services in aid of the missions. . On Wednesday, the 27th ult., a public meeting was held at Rosemelling, Luxulyan, for the purpose of advocating the claims of the above missions, Mr. R. ROBERTS in the chair, when able addresses were delivered by the Rev. J. ALDIN and WATSON, circuit ministers, and Mr. T. PEARSE of Bodmin, to a crowded audience. The collection amounted to GBP 4.9s.9d. together with GBP 2.13s.6d. Miss JANE LEWIS’s missionary box amounted to GBP 7.3s.3d. . THE GRAVES OF ST. COLUMB CHURCH YARD - We have received another long letter, we presume from Mr. DAVIS, schoolmaster, (for it is unsigned, and breaks off in the middle of a sentence), for which it is impossible to find room. A great part of it is taken up with personalities which have nothing to do with the matter in dispute. The only parts of his letter which are material, are a statement that the reason why it was not thought necessary to consult the parishioners as to the changes which were made in the church yard was that the clergyman intended himself to be at the expense of the alterations; and the following passage in regard to the alleged exhumation of bodies: "The respectable inhabitants upon whose testimony all this ado about nothing has been made, is a youth of some eighteen summer's growth, son to the bellman, and, it is said, a carpenter’s apprentice. Against his individual assertion, I place the most direct, complete, and emphatic contradiction of the clergy, m! yself, and family, and of the eleven men who were employed on the work; and we undertake, moreover, if this person will point out the spots of asserted exhumation and re-interment, to examine them, and abide by the results. We will now leave the public to determine who speaks the truth." . TRURO SCHOOL OF ART - Early this week a select committee was formed for the purpose of awarding medals for the best productions in painting, chalk, and mechanical drawing, in their various stages. The awards were as follows: Group of natural objects, as a composition of colour, (in oil), Miss J. LEVERTON; pomegranates from cast, (in chalk), Miss M. SOLOMON; flowers from the flat, (water colours), Miss J. GATLEY; three ditto, ditto, Mrs. R. BULL; flowers from the flat, (in pencil), Miss M. L. JENKINS; honeysuckle, (in chalk) Mr. T. LAWRIE; practical geometry, Mr. W. SALMON. As an incentive to greater exertion and merit on the part of the students, the master, Mr. H.T. ANDERSON, intends on giving in March next, medals for the best productions in various stages; and any student gaining three prizes in any of these stages, will receive the first class silver medal, which will be given by the master yearly, in addition to the general competition of the department of science and a! rt. . FALMOUTH WINTER BALLS - The first assembly of the season came off at the Royal Hotel, Falmouth, on Wednesday evening last, and was attended with a success that must have surpassed even the most sanguine anticipations of the promoters. Through the kindness of Captain STOREY, the band of H.M.S. "Russell," was in attendance and excited general admiration throughout the evening by the admirable manner in which they performed some of the newest and most popular dance music. The company began to assemble soon after nine, and dancing was continued with unabated vigour until a late hour. Much credit is due to those who undertook the arrangement of the room, which was most tastefully decorated with the ensigns of various nations. The next ball will take place on Wednesday December 1st, of which notice will be given. . Amongst those present were: Mrs. FENWICK, Mrs. M.V. BULL, Mrs. and Miss COOPE and Mrs. WADHAM, Mrs. GRYLLS (Bosahan,) Mrs. E. B. TWEEDY, and the Misses ROGERS, Mrs. and Miss EDMONDS, the Misses BULLMORE, Miss EDGECOMBE, Miss ROWLAND, Miss BULLEY, Mrs. and Miss CHAPMAN, &c. – Gentlemen – Colonel FENWICK, C.B., 10th Regiment;  Captain STORY, R.N., Captain SAULES, R.N.; Major SHAW, Hants. Artillery; Captain GRYLLS; Messrs. J. BORLASE, M.V. BULL, E.B. TWEEDY, S. HODGES, H. TILLY; ASHTON, R.N., JAMES, R.N. , LUCAS, R.N.; BORWARIGGER, ALDER, and MANSELL, Hants. Artillery; GUTTERES, FISHER, ASHTON, SWATMAN. REED, BULLMORE, SLEEMAN, LUCAS, HOCKIN, MARTIN, PAWLEY, &c. . TRURO FRIENDLY SOCIETY - The following donations have been made to this charity: Mrs. TWEEDY, Truro-vean, GBP 5; Mr. HUMPHRY WILLYAMS, GBP 5; and Mr. BRYDGES WILLYAMS, M.P., GBP 10. . LEDRAH HOUSE - Mr. SOPER, a pupil from Dr. DRAKE's school, has just taken his B.A. degree at the London University, and stands in the first division of the list. . NEW ZEALAND FREE LAND GRANTS - Mr. JAMES B. WILCOCKS, of Plymouth, has received a communication from the provincial government of Auckland, New Zealand, appointing him emigration agent for the province, with power to issue orders for free grants of land to such persons as he may deem eligible, who are disposed to proceed to the colony. . LOSTIWTHITIEL - A great number of men are employed on the Cornwall Railway, preparing the timber for the permanent way; several of Mr. OLVER’s men are engaged in erecting the station buildings, and now the gas works employ many more, so that lodgings for mechanics &c. are difficult to obtain, and this once dull town is now almost turned into a “bee hive.” . STRIKE OF CARPENTERS AT HELSTON - On Wednesday, about 24 men, in the employ of Messrs. SAMBLE and Son, builders &c., stopped working on account of a dispute as to the time of leaving work. The men hold out for working from daylight to half-past six in the evening during the winter months, and the Messrs. Samble require then to work until seven in the evening. It is hoped this matter may be amicably settled, as a strike is of very rare occurrence in this town. . LOSTWITHIEL GAS COMPANY - The introduction of gas into this town being much required, a few weeks since some of the principal tradesmen of the place held a meeting, and formed themselves into a company, for the purpose of carrying out this desirable object. A prospectus was issued, and the required capital raised in the town within ten days. A very desirable site for erecting the works having been granted by the corporation, and a contract entered into with Mr. ROBERT SHARPE, jun., for the erection &c., on Tuesday last the foundation stone was laid, in the presence of several of the directors and others, by WM. COLLINS, Esq., chairman of the company, who made a very appropriate speech on the occasion. If weather &c. permit, the works will be completed and in full operation by next February, and it is hoped the town will then be supplied with gas of the best quality. . ST. COLUMB - On the night of the 8th instant there was a display of fireworks prepared by Mr. TEMPLAR, (to whom great credit is due,) to celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of Inkerman. All would have passed off well had it not been for the act of a miscreant named MATHEWS, who placed a lighted squib within a very few inches of the eyes of a middle-aged gentleman, and held it there, though remonstrated with, until it exploded. The gentleman was temporarily blinded, but is now only suffering from a scorched face. A balloon was also to have ascended, but unfortunately it caught fire. . LOSS OF A SCHOONER IN MOUNT’S BAY - About six o'clock on Wednesday morning last, the schooner "Mary," of Cardigan, BEDDOE, master, from Plymouth for Liverpool, with copper ore, parted her chain in Mount Roads and drove foul of the schooner "Gazelle," of Kirkaldy, DOOLEY, master, from Ardrosson for Rouen, with pig iron, when the "Mary" sunk. Fortunately all the crew escaped, and landed at Penzance, where they were immediately taken in charge by the honorary agent to the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners’ Royal Benevolent Society, who will forward them to their home. . WASHED OVERBOARD - WILLIAM TEAGUE, aged 19, son of SAMUEL TEAGUE, of Truro, was washed overboard in the ship "Dolphin," from the Black Sea bound to Leith. . TRURO POLICE - On Monday, before Mr. CHAPPEL, and Mr. E. MICHELL, magistrates, JOHN ROBINS, of Calenick, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, assaulting Mr. OLIVER HOCKING, beer-house keeper, Kenwyn-street, Truro, and breaking a pane of glass, at about half-past eleven o’clock on Saturday night last. The case was proved, but Mr. Hocking said that he did not wish to press it, and the defendant was discharged on paying the expenses, with a caution that if he was again brought there for a similar offence he would be dealt with severely. . On Wednesday, before the Mayor, (Dr. BARHAM) and Mr. CHAPPEL, PHILIP WEBB, labourer, was charged with having assisted in making a bonfire in Lemon-street, Truro, about nine o’clock, on Tuesday night last, contrary to the provisions of the Truro Improvement Act. It appeared that a large bonfire was lighted in Lemon-street, on Tuesday evening, and the prisoner, amongst others, being very active in rolling blazing tar barrels about the streets to the great danger and terror of the inhabitants, was taken into custody by P.C. GAY. The charge was clearly proved, but the bench dismissed the case, at the same time stating that in future no more such dangerous displays would be permitted, and that the Superintendent of the police had orders to caution all dealers in fireworks in the town against exposing these articles for sale.  . At Truro, on Monday last, before Mr. CHAPPEL and Mr. E. MICHELL, magistrates, charges of assault were preferred by JOHN EVANS and JOHN RUNDLE, against JOHN MARTIN, shoemaker, RICHARD JOHNS, gardener, and CHARLES BOASE, carpenter, all of Truro. Martin did not appear, and the case against him was proceeded with in his absence. Mr. EVANS is a farmer living in the parish of Tregony, and it appeared that on the 3rd instant, he and his father, an old man between 70 and 80 years of age, came to Truro fair with some cattle. While the son went into the fair, the father proceeded to the Union Hotel, in St. Austell Street, where he had been in the habit of putting up during his visits to Truro; and whilst there, in passing one of the tables in the room in which he was partaking of some refreshments, he accidentally upset a quart of beer belonging to another person. He was asked to pay for the beer, and upon refusing, he was assaulted by several men who were in the room drinking, amongs! t whom were the three defendants. The son having finished his business went to the inn, in company with JOHN RUNDLE, the driver of the Tregony van and some of the passengers, and, on seeing his father bleeding and his clothes torn, he remonstrated with the party for assaulting an old man, observing that had he been present they should not have used him in such a way. Immediately Martin and Johns assaulted him, knocked him down, giving him a pair of black eyes, and kicking him violently on the legs and body. Rundle, who had gone to the hotel for the purpose of collecting his passengers, while endeavouring to rescue Evans, was also assaulted by the defendants. A police officer was sent for, but before P.C. JOHNS arrived, the defendants had left. Their names were, however, ascertained, and summonses applied for. . For the assault on Evans, Martin and Johns were each fined GBP 1, and GBP 1.4s.6d for costs, or the alternative of one month’s imprisonment; and for the assault on Rundle, Martin was fined GBP 1, and 10s.6d. costs. The charge against Boase, not having been proved to the satisfaction of the magistrates, was dismissed. . STEPHEN MINORS, the landlord of the Union Hotel, was then charged with having, on the same afternoon, knowingly permitted drunkenness and disorderly conduct in his house. He stated that he could not prevent what took place on the occasion in question, and that with regard to some of the persons who had assaulted the complainants, they had been drinking before they came to his house. The case was ultimately dismissed, the defendant being, however, cautioned that he must be more particular in future, as if he did not preserve good order in his house, he would run a risk of losing his license, the magistrates being determined to put a stop to such disturbances in public-houses. . STEALING GROCERIES – At Truro, on Wednesday last, before the Mayor (Dr. BARHAM) and Mr. CHAPPEL, GRACE RICHARDS, servant to Mr. CHARLES BARRETT, boot and shoemaker, Truro, was charged with having stolen a quantity of groceries and a door-key, the property of her master. It appeared that Mrs. Barrett had lately missed a quantity of groceries from a store-room in which they were kept. This room was always locked, Mrs. Barrett keeping the key, but leaving a duplicate key hung up inside, and it seems that the prisoner had obtained possession of this duplicate key, and had helped herself to the goods. Recently a young woman named CREWES, residing in Daniell-street, and who had been in custody on a charge of felony, having been seen on the premises in company with the prisoner, the latter was suspected, and on being questioned, she admitted having stolen sugar and other articles, and given them to Crewes, who waited outside to receive them. She now pleaded guilty, was summarily co! nvicted, and sentenced to 14 days’ imprisonment in the House of Correction. Mr. Barrett said that he had felt it to be his duty to prosecute in this case, as the prisoner was the seventh servant who had robbed him. . REMARKABLE FAILURE OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE –-At the Truro Police Court, on Wednesday, before the Mayor and Mr. CHAPPEL, WILLIAM JAMES, a boy 14 years of age, apprentice to Mr. WILLIAM HEARN, ;shoemaker, Old Bridge-street, Truro, was charged with having stolen a pair of kid boots, of the value of 10s. It appeared that the servant of Mr. CARLYON, at Kenwyn, bought a pair of boots from the prosecutor, but finding them to be rather tight for her, she brought them back in order that they might be made easier. On Tuesday evening they were lying on the counter at the time that James was engaged in shutting up the shop, but on Mrs. Hearn going for a moment into another room, she found on her return that they were gone, and she saw James, who had just fastened the shutters, dart quickly away. Believing that no one else had been in the shop, and that the prisoner had taken them, she followed him to his father's, but obtaining no satisfaction there, the services of police-sergeant W! OOLCOCK were obtained, and James was given into custody. Subsequently, however, the boy's mother saw the girl to whom the boots belonged, who stated that whilst he was engaged in closing the shop, she went in and took her boots from the counter, without saying anything to Mrs. Hearn. The girl now repeated this statement, and James was at once discharged, the magistrates observing that there was not the least stain upon his character. . COMMITTAL FOR PERJURY - At the Truro County Court on Friday last, an action was brought by JOHN STAFF, a master mariner at Penryn, against RICHARD HARVEY, the post-master at Chacewater,  to recover GBP 34. 14s.3d., balance for wages, travelling expenses, and money paid on the defendant's account. Mr. BULLMORE, solicitor, of Falmouth, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. EDWARDS, solicitor, Truro, for the defendant. . >From the facts deposed to in evidence by the plaintiff and his witnesses, it appeared that the plaintiff's wife keeps a coffee-shop at Penryn, and in the early part of this year a man named CHARLES WASLEY was instrumental in bringing a female named MARY PAULL to the plaintiff's house, where she was introduced as a young woman whose husband was gone to Australia.  Soon afterwards HARVEY came to see her, and she was subsequently visited by him there two or three times a week. . Defendant had been in the habit of purchasing and shipping off mundic, and while at Penryn in the Spring, in the course of conversation, he asked Mrs. STAFF what business her husband was in. He then said that he had purchased a vessel, and desired her to send for her husband to come home, saying that if he approved of him, he would engaged him as captain. The plaintiff was accordingly sent for, and on his arrival the defendant approved of him, and agreed to pay him GBP 1 per week until the ship went to sea, and subsequently to pay him, as master, the ordinary wages paid out of port to masters of similar vessels than the defendant's. . The plaintiff was after about eight weeks’ delay sent to Southhampton to take the command of the ship. On his arrival at that port, he took charge of the vessel, and remained in her until the middle of August last, when, after expending some money on repairs, and finding that he could not get any wages or money from defendant to enable him to go to sea, he returned home. It was also proved that on Mrs. Staff complaining that her husband was not sent to join the vessel, the defendant said “never mind; his wages are going on; he is to have GBP 1 a week until the vessel goes to sea, and afterwards he will be paid the same wages as the other captains in the port.”  . Subsequently the relationship between Paull and the defendant was suspected, and upon one occasion he showed the register of the vessel to Mrs. Staff, remarking "one good turn deserves another,(alluding to her having allowed Paull to lodge in the house); I will employ your husband as captain; so you see, good sometimes comes out of evil." . It also transpired that the way the defendant had obtained possession of the register of the vessel was this: He had supplied HILLS with mundic to the value of GBP 100, and the latter not having the money to pay him, offered to hand over the shares which he possessed in the ship. This was agreed to, and Hills sent the ship's register to the defendant, but without any bill of sale; and it turned out that Hills, who is now a bankrupt, had previously given a bill of sale to the whole vessel to a creditor in London .  At the conclusion of the plaintiff's case, Harvey was called, and in his examination he positively swore that he had never desired Mrs. Staff to send for her husband, that he had never agreed to pay GBP 1 a week to the plaintiff till the ship went to sea, and that he had only agreed to pay him GBP 3.10s per month after the vessel was ready for sea. In cross-examination, he admitted that he knew Mary Paull, that he had lived with her at the plaintiff’s house, where she was confined of a child of which he was the father, he being a married man with 11 children. He called C. Wasley whose evidence merely went to show that he was present when it was agreed to send the plaintiff to Southhampton, and that no claim was then made by the latter for any previous wages. . The Judge then read over the evidence to the plaintiff and his witnesses, asking them solemnly whether all that they had stated was true. They replied in the affirmative. The Judge then commented on the gross perjury that was frequently committed in cases brought into County Courts, and after giving verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed, and ordering immediate payment, committed the defendant to take his trial at the next assizes on the charge of perjury. . Defendant was allowed, however, upon undertaking to return next morning, to visit his family that evening. On Saturday the Court consented to accept bail - the defendant's own recognizances of GBP 200, and two sureties of GBP 100 each for his appearance at the assizes, but the latter not being produced, Harvey was sent off to the county gaol at Bodmin, and Mr. Bullmore was directed to conduct the prosecution at the assizes. This case occupied the time of the Court about five hours, and created very considerable interest among the spectators. . We should add that the Judge told the defendant’s attorney that no blame was attached to him in the case, but on the contrary he deserved great credit for the manner in which he had conducted the defense. . REDRUTH POLICE - On Saturday last a woman named JOHNSON was apprehended upon a charge of being drunk. She was taken before Mr. S. DAVEY, and fined 5s. and costs. RICHARD COLLINS, of Gwennap, was fined 5s. and costs for being drunk and disorderly. He was also charged with having three sacks of tin in his possession, for which he could not account. He was remanded, but ultimately discharged, there not being sufficient evidence to commit on a charge of kitting. .  COMMITTAL AT FOWEY - On Thursday, the 3rd instant, JANE HOSKING, a married woman with a large family, was committed from Fowey to take her trial at the next county sessions for stealing a silk umbrella, and other articles, the property of Mr. W. SWEET, landlord of the Sailor’s Return, at Fowey, where she had been employed as an assistant. . TOLL ILLEGAL ON THRESHING MACHINE - At the Callington Petty Sessions, on November 4, Mr. COURTICE, manufacturer of steam threshing machines, was summoned by the collector of tolls on the Callington Trusts, 1st, for refusing to allow the toll collector to take the measurement of the waggon which passed through his turnpike gate; 2nd, for driving the said waggon through his turnpike gate without having his name on such waggon. . Mr. MOON, who appeared for the toll collector, said, on the 16th of October last, the defendant passed through one of the turnpike gates with two waggons laden with a threshing machine and steam engine for working the machine; that by an Act of Parliament which regulates tolls on the Callington Trusts, such waggons were liable to pay tolls unless the wheels were of a certain dimension; that the defendant refused to allow the wheels to be measured, but drove through the turnpike gate, telling the toll collector he might summon him before the justices and he would defend. On the second charge, Mr. Moon said the defendant’s name was not painted on the waggon, and that, on both summonses, he claimed a penalty of GBP 5. . Mr. FROST, for the defendant, urged that no waggon passed through the turnpike gate on the 16th of October. It was a threshing machine and steam engine; that the wheels and the body were parts of the same machine, and they could not be worked separately; that threshing machines were allowed to pass without toll through turnpike gates over any part of England as agricultural implements; that the owner was not obliged to paint his name on the machine any more than he would on a plough or roller; the Act 14 & 15 Vic., c 38, sec 4, was passed expressly to prevent toll being taken on threshing machines, and the decision of the Queen’s Bench had been made on this point. He cited the Queen v. Matty, Law Journal Reports. The bench dismissed both summonses, and ordered the toll collector to pay the defendant’s witness for his attendance. . ACCIDENT - On Monday morning last, at St. Just in Penwith, as Mr. R.B. SEARLE, surgeon, who had been in attendance on a patient all night, was returning on horseback, just as he entered the town he was thrown to the ground, falling on his head. Mr. HARVEY and Mr. JOHN JAMES, of London, were soon on the spot, and subsequently Mr. DODGE, of Penzance, joined them in consultation on the case. The greatest attention was paid to the unfortunate sufferer, and every means that medical skill can devise will be used for his restoration. There is undoubted concussion of the brain; but what other injuries are sustained time only can show, as there is not the slightest mark of contusion to be seen on the head. Great sympathy is expressed for the sufferer. . MINE ACCIDENT - A young man called CARNE went down one of the shafts in the Hallenbeagle mine, on Saturday last, to see a friend of his who was there at work. On returning he unfortunately struck his head against the back of the adit, and fell into a shaft, a depth of eight fathoms. He received some severe injuries, and we hear that there is not the least hope of his recovery. . HAYLE - The steamer "Jarrow" of London, 700 tons burthen, R. SEDGWICK, master, sailed on Tuesday last for Odessa, via Cardiff, to coal, with a cargo of machinery consisting of two steam engines and sundry details convenient for grinding corn, dressing flour &c., on a large scale in that great grain country. This pile of machinery was manufactured at Copper House Foundry by Messrs. SANDYS, VIVIAN, and Co, who send out engineers in the "Jarrow" to erect the same. . CORONER'S INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held by Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner: On Monday, at Flushing, on the body of a new-born male child which had been found dead on Sunday night in a saw pit connected with Mr. CURTIS's workshop, wrapped up in a piece of linen cloth much stained with blood. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. JEWELL, surgeon, that there was no doubt of its having been born alive after full period of gestation, and that it died from neglected birth; but there being no suspicion as to the mother, the jury returned an open verdict in conformity with the medical evidence. On Wednesday at Penryn, on the body of JAMES HILL, aged 20 years, who whilst employed on Monday in discharging a brig laden with bones near Boyer’s cellars, fell into the hold of the vessel and was so seriously injured that he died the following morning. Verdict “accidental death.” . HUNTING  APPOINTMENTS - A new pack of harriers has been started by some gentlemen to hunt the neighbourhood of Roborough Down, Mr. AMBROSE MARSHALL, brother to Mr. WILLIAM MARSHALL, of Treworgey, St. Cleer, will preside over the sport. . STANNARIES COURT This court was opened at Truro, on Wednesday last, before His Honor the Vice-Warden, EDWARD SMIRKS, Esq. The following motions were made: . HOLLOW v. WHITNEY and OTHERS - Rosecarne Consols - a purser’s petition for recovery of costs. One defendant, COLLIVER, had died since the petition was filed. Order granted. TREGASKIS v. SARGENT - Withill St. Mary Mine, Callington – creditor’s petition for recovery of GBP18.13s.6d, plaintiff being a mine labourer. Mr. STOKES, for defendant, consented to a decree of payment, which was ordered to be made in a week. BENNETT and Others v. COOK and Others - Calstock United Mines – creditor’s petition for recovery of GBP 28.11s.4d. Mr. HOCKIN moved for decree for payment. Mr. STOKES, for defendant, said there had been some misapprehension as to the debt, and the amount would be remitted to him to-morrow to satisfy it. Decree for payment granted. . PETERS and Others, v. COOK - petition by tributers against the same defendant as in the previous case, for recovery of GBP 22.10s. for tribute. Mr. HOCKIN moved for a decree of payment. . Mr. STOKES said in this case, and also in the case of HOOPER v. COOK, he gave an undertaking in writing on the part of the defendant, to consent to the decree. In so doing, he had acted as an agent under instructions given him from town; but since then, it was found that nothing was due from defendant; but that, on the contrary, plaintiffs were indebted to defendant. His clerk was preparing an affidavit by defendant to that effect; and as soon as it was ready, he should ask the court on that affidavit, to allow him to defend the case on its merits. To discharge himself, however, from liability as regarded the undertakings given, he thought it best to consent to the decree. . A decree was then made by the Vice-Warden, in this and the case of Hooper v. Cook, the claim in the latter case being for GBP 22, for breaking and bringing tin to surface from the 28 fathom level in Calstock United Mines. The Vice-Warden, however, said he would suspend the operation of the decree, on the assurance of Mr. Stokes that he would shortly move in each case. . JEFFREE v. STRANGEMAN and Others - Wheal Guskus - Mr. HOCKIN said this was a purser’s petition, on which he had already obtained a decree for payment. He moved now against only two of the defendants, RICHARD GLANVILLE, who held 100 shares, and owed GBP 87.10s., and JAMES LANE, who held 25 shares, and owed GBP 17.10s. Both defendants had been personally served in London, of which he read affidavits. The machinery and materials had been sold under a decree of this court; but he presumed it would be necessary to go through the form of selling the shares, in order to proceed personally against the defendants. Mr. STOKES said, with regard to the defendant Glanville, he had received an affidavit from him, sworn before the Lord Mayor, stating the whole of the circumstances, but it being informed in consequence of being so sworn, he had sent it back to be sworn before a commissioner of this court in London; and he then proposed to move, so far as Glanville was concerned, to set asid! e all the proceedings, inasmuch as he was never a shareholder in the mine. The Vice-Warden said he could only be present, on the affidavits and circumstances before him, make the order absolute for sale. . RASHLEIGH and Others, v. TRETHEWY  and Others - Mr. STOKES said this was a common law action tried to the last sittings of the court. There was a plea,,, to the jurisdiction on the part of the defendant, which was held to be sufficient, and he (Mr. Stokes) applied subsequently to his Honour for the costs of the suit, and his HONOR took time to consider. The Vice-Warden said he had since looked into the question, and he would grant a rule nisi to show cause why the costs should not be paid. . The court was then adjourned. . On Thursday, the court proceeded with the hearing of small debt cases, of which there were 23 for trial. We shall give a further report next week. . CORNWALL COUNTY COURTS - Truro - At this court, held on Friday and Saturday last, there were for hearing eight adjourned plaints, three adjourned commitment summonses, 125 new plaints, and sixteen new commitment summonses. Only one or two of the cases, however, possessed any public interest. . PERRYMAN v. RUNDELL of Tregony - In this case the plaintiff sought to recover damages for injury and loss of time which he had sustained in consequence of having been bitten by the defendant’s dog. There were several witnesses on both sides, but ultimately the case was referred to Mr. JOHN PENHALLOW PETERS, of Philleigh, and Mr. JOHN STEPHENS, of Tregony.  . RICHARD HUMPHREYS and Others v. THOMAS VINCENT - Mr. HOCKIN, solicitor, appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr. STOKES, solicitor, for the defendant. The plaintiffs are interested in Great Wheal Busy mine, and they brought this action to recover possession of a dwelling-house belonging to the adventurers of that mine. Mr. Hockin stated that the defendant had been employed as a pitman on the mine, and was allowed to occupy the house in question while so engaged. Having been discharged, he was requested to quit the house, when he refused to give up possession. Mr. Stokes, on the other side, stated that when the defendant was engaged, he was promised a permanent situation, and the occupation of the house for five years. The case was adjourned till the next setting of the court in Truro, no witnesses being examined.  . INSOLVENT - This being the day appointed for the first examination of GEO. WICKS, bookbinder &c., Truro, the insolvent appeared, and there being no opposition, he passed. The 10th of December was fixed as the day for granting the final order.  . COMMITTALS - Five persons were committed for periods varying from 20 to 48 days, for not appearing to summonses, or non-payment of debts. One of the parties committed was a plaintiff, in the case of TREGLOWN v. GEACH. Plaintiff is the well-known wrestler, and summoned defendant, as the manager of the recent wrestling match at Truro, for GBP 5, which plaintiff claimed as the amount of the first prize. The case was heard and decided against TREGLOWN, who was ordered to pay GBP 3, defendant’s costs. He was summoned for non-payment of that amount, and for not appearing to summons, was committed for thirty days. . REDRUTH - At this court held on the 4th instant, the following cases were heard: NICHOLL v. PEARCE. Mr. DOWNING appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. HENRY ROGERS for defendant. The plaintiff is an auctioneer residing at Redruth, and the defendant an innkeeper of Penzance. The action was brought to recover the sum of GBP 10.12s for services rendered as a valuer. According to plaintiff’s statement, the defendant on quitting his inn, at Connor Downs, and taking the Dolphin, at Penzance, employed him to value at the two places, that he attended on the day appointed, but found that he had been supplanted by Mr. SODDY. He claimed GBP 10.12s., at GBP 2.10s. per cent. The plaintiff in support of his case produced a book in which he had noted his retainer. . The plaintiff was subjected to a severe cross-examination by Mr. Rogers, who afterwards humorously addressed the court, and then called the defendant, from whose statement it appeared that Soddy was his man of business; that the plaintiff called on defendant and solicited the business, representing himself as an exceedingly astute and economical valuer; that the defendant never once employed him or intended to do so, but called on his former valuer. The case was heard at the October court, and his Honor now gave judgment in favor of defendant with costs. . HARRIS v. WALES - Mr. DOWNING for plaintiff, and Mr. ROGERS for defendant. This action was brought to recover the value fo a shed removed by the defendant on the expiration of his tenancy, and was tried before Mr. PETER, who gave judgment for plaintiff. At the last court, Mr. Rogers moved for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against evidence, and that the defendant had a right to remove the erection. In support of his argument, Mr. Rogers cited several cases, and his Honor to-day granted a new trial to be tried before a jury. . BANFIELD v. BERRYMAN - Mr. ROGERS for plaintiff, and Mr. DOWNING for defendant. These were two actions, the one for the recovery of a balance due on a contract, and the other for the recovery of a watch, chain, and key. The evidence was of a very conflicting character, and his Honor gave judgment for plaintiff. . CLOGG and SEARLE, INSOLVENTS - Mr. DOWNING appeared for insolvents, and Mr. ROGERS for several creditors to oppose. His Honor fixed a day for the final order; but in consequence of the arguments advanced by Mr. Rogers, intimated to the insolvents that they must be prepared to make some proposal at the next court acceptable to the creditors.

Peter, Yes this is the one I mentioned at the bottom of my original post. 1. Firstly, I do not know his or her parent's names so can't just assume this is Alice's family (although it does look good). 2. William Edwards was her husband...if we assume this is the same family for both of them then she married her brother. I know it's very confusing but we have Alice Edwards (maiden name) who married 1. John Lushman and then 2. William Edwards.....and I have no idea if they were actually related....I know of 1st and 2nd cousins marrying back then and also a couple of cases of brothers and sisters....but I just can't get a lead on these two. Liz, Thank you very much for this information.....I will try to track this family on the 1841 and 1851 census and see what I can come up with. Cheers, Kate

Hi all, Hoping someone may be able to help with this. Can anyone suggest where I can try to find out WHERE in Cornwall William and Alice EDWARDS came from? William EDWARDS – born approx. 1836 Cornwall England. (Can’t find WHERE in Cornwall as all certificates to date only state Cornwall as place of birth). Don’t know when he and/or his family arrived in the Burra region South Australia, it may have been prior to the 1841 census in the UK. Also can’t locate death certificate for William. Alice EDWARDS – born approx. 1835 Cornwall England. (Again don’t know where in Cornwall). According to her Death Certificate (Time in Aust Colonies: About 70 years in NSW 1 year South Australia). Now this wasn’t quite correct as we know she was in South Australia 1852-1860. Alice died 24 Nov 1914 and is buried in the Methodist section Catherine Hill Bay Cemetery....can't find the actual plot as there is no headstone or marker.

Also the Digger Index South Australia. Sometime between 1860 and 1863 they moved from South Australia to Newcastle NSW…..why? Was it because the mines at Burra where closing down? How did they decide on Newcastle as a destination? Also on ALL NSW birth certificates where they list previous issue they always state 1 male deceased….I have not been able to locate the birth of this male in either NSW or South Australia. I have seen an 1841 Census entry with Alice Edwards around the age of 4 but I can't prove that this is correct as I don't know her parents names. Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated.

Kate, If they were still in Cornwall at the time of the 1841 Census. From FMP they could be the Alice & Willm recorded at Trelowarrin Street, Camborne, Redruth, Cornwall, England. Alice was 6, Willm was 3, parents were Willm (30) & Mary (25). There was another child, Mary (1). They don't seem to appear in the 1851 Census.

The BBC has an article, looking for descendants of soldiers who fought at Waterloo. Maybe there were some Cornish? http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-30773030 The closest I can get is my Royal Marine Richard Penhaligan/Pennylegion,, baptized in Philleigh in 1781, who m. Ann Jamieson in 1804 Renfrewshire, Scotland( near Glasgow).. Their son also Richard, was b. there in 1805, and the family returned to Cornwall. Richard b. 1805 latter emigrated with his wife and children to Mineral Point, Wisconsin, USA Julia Hanneman-Schoenbach, Waterford MI (Jacka, Penhallegon, Toy)

Dear List, I thought I would send a short post on the Australian website, Immigration Place, which has stories written (complete with spelling mistakes) by folk who have emigrated to Australia, and written about their own stories, or who have contributed stories on their forebears. You can search on surnames, or on the words, Cornwall, Cornish etc., or two words at a time such as "Cornwall, Queensland". Url below. www.immigrationplace.com.au Click on "Immigration Stories" to search. If you don't know about this site, you may find it interesting, or you may be interested to contribute something on your family who emigrated to Australia. It isn't a genie site, so may well contain "technical" mistakes, however, it may also provide some information for searching government databases. Kind regards, Rowena

Here's part 2 from Lorena - hope everyone enjoys!  The West Briton was printed at Truro, Cornwall; first established in 1810, it continues to this day.  Please do visit our website (address below) to search for family and place names; never know what might turn up!

I paid no attention to the steerage. > Between 2 and 3 o'clock of the afternoon of the 18th, I noticed the > captain a little the worse for liquor. At 7 the same night I noticed he > was more intoxicated. About 8 o'clock I took the bearings of the North > Foreland Light, and put it down at N.W. ½ N. - I now speak from memory > ­- and the South Foreland Light W. No one directed me to take those > bearings. I have no right to take bearings when the captain is in > charge. At this time I thought he was capable of navigating the vessel. > > I went below at eight o'clock. I again saw him at midnight. He was then > more intoxicated than at eight o'clock. At 12 at night he was not in a > fit state to command the ship. He gave me no directions as to the > steerage of the ship, but gave me orders to get the stunsail in and to > get the topsail sheet bent on, which had been carried away during the > first watch. He spoke distinctly when he gave me these orders. They > were proper directions to give in my opinion. He was drunk at the time > and staggered. His voice was rather thicker than usual. He gave me no > orders, but I went aft at half-past 12 and found her head W.S.Q. I kept > her that course during my watch, until she struck. I then called the > captain and all the crew. On going below I found the captain coming up. > He was still drunk. > > Mr. TRAILL - I will read to you that which you are here said to have > declared, and which is signed by Mr. TERRY, the receiver-general. It is > this: - "The mate and steward of the "Jane May," Richard, May, master, > having made a statement before the magistrate at Lydd, accusing the > master of being brunk [mispelled in paper] and otherwise in fault in causing > the loss of the said vessel, which is untrue, we, the undersigned, > think it only justice to state that the mate and crew came and > requested that the papers containing the accusation might be withdrawn, > the same being untrue and made in a moment of irritation in receiving > nothing for loss of clothes in the ship; and we further regret having > made the said charge against the said master." > > Witness - Upon my oath I never made such a declaration. The captain > came and spoke to me and the steward about the charge we had made, and > we told him that what we said was true. He said it was a very serious > charge, and we told him we could not help it; that he knew it was true, > but that if it would hurt him we would withdraw it. > > John CALLAGHAN, the steward on board the "Jane May," deposed - I was > asked by the captain to withdraw the statement, as it was very serious > charge against him, I asked the captain who was going to make our > losses good? The captain said he was going to give us something. He > then said it was a mere piece of spite on our part. I said "No, sir, > the words we spike last night were the truth, and nothing but the > truth." He then spoke of how serious it was to bring such a charge > against him. We then went into Mr. Terry's room, and the captain told > Mr. Terry we had agreed to make out a contradictory statement. I said, > "The statement was made, if it is to benefit you, we will withdraw; but > to make out any contradictory statement we will have nothing to do with > it." On the 18th, I noticed the captain had a stupid look about him. Up > to eight o’clock in the evening, he was in a half stupid state, rather > worse that better. The stupidity, I think, was from drink. I saw him > take about a third of a tumbler of brandy in water. After the vessel > got aground the captain went below. I went down two or three minutes > afterwards and saw the captain helping himself to brandy. I asked him > if he was going to leave the ship, as the crew were getting ready. He > said there was no immediate danger. I told him the vessel was breaking > up fast. The captain then said, "She ain't break up too soon for me." > He then lay down in the state cabin. The mate afterwards called upon > him to leave the ship; and hour and a half after she struck. > > Further proceedings were then adjourned. > > > > THE WRECK OF THE "JANE MAY," OF FALMOUTH. - We have given a report in > our sixth page of an enquiry instituted by the Board of Trade into the > cause of the loss of this vessel. The adjourned inquiry took place on > Monday last, at the Greenwich Police Court. On the former occasion it > was alleged that some of the crew had made statement before Mr. TERRY, > the Receiver-General of Wrecks, that the captain was intoxicated at the > time of the wreck, and had afterward made a declaration that such > statement was untrue. They, however, denied that they had made such > declaration, and the inquiry was adjourned for the attendance of Mr. > Terry to speak to the fact. Mr. Terry now deposed to the > first-mentioned statement having been made and sworn to by the mate and > steward. On the following morning he was sent for, and they said they > wished to withdraw the statement they had made, as it was quite false, > being made in a moment of irritation of account of their not receiving > compensation for the loss of their clothes. They, however, refused to > sign a declaration to this effect, as they said they would be > chargeable for perjury if they did so. Mr. TRAILL said it was highly > improper on the part of the witness to have sent in such a statement as > that, without mentioning the fact of the parties refusing to be sworn > to its contents, as it led the court to infer that this had been done. > >  Captain May was then recalled, and denied the charge of drunkenness, > and also that he had stated the ship could not strike soon enough for > him. The mate and steward had told him they had made the charge of > drunkenness because he had not offered to compensate them for the loss > of their clothes, and were willing to withdraw it if he would do so. He > said everyone should be paid what was due, and they then said they were > willing to withdraw their statement. > > Mr. W. T. PHILLIPS, shipowner of > Tooley-street, Borough, spoke to the character of Captain May, who he > denied was addicted to habits of intemperance. He also knew him to be > an efficient seaman.  Mr. TRAILL said the evidence was of such a > nature as to cause the delay of a few days in making a report to the > Board of Trade, but this would be done without loss of time. > > > > FOUND DROWNED - On Tuesday last, at Lostwithiel, an inquest was held > by Mr. J. C. BLEWETT, borough coroner, on the body of Mr. Saml. > HENWOOD, of Lanlivery, which was found in the river near the quay that > morning.

James RICHARDS, carpenter, and William TURNER, > mason, of Helston, contracted with defendant to alter and repair some > dwelling houses at Leedstown, in Crowan. The work had proceeded until > June, when Turner suspended payment, and his business was closed. Up to > this time GBP10 had been paid on account of the work to plaintiff, half > of which he gave to Turner. Defendant, who carries on business at > Penzance as house agent, bill discounter, &c., during the progress of > this work had discounted a bill, it was stated at the rate of sixty per > cent, for Turner, and which proved to have b been a forged acceptance > bearing the signature of James SAMBLE and Son. When Kevern discovered > that he had been duped, he came to Helston and had an interview with > Turner, Samble, Richards and some others, and the former confessed to > the forgery. To prevent further proceedings Turner's friends, assisted > by Richards, made arrangements to satisfy Kevern, Richards advancing > money towards the forged bill in consideration of being released from > the contract with Turner; but he was to complete his portion of the > work and the amount agreed to in presence of the whole of the parties > was GBP22 10s., which was the sum sought to be recovered now. When > plaintiff had completed the work, defendant's surveyor reported that > there were still some trifling jobs necessary to be done, which > although not mentioned distinctly were included in a general sentence > at the end of the specification. > > Mr. W. Samble was examined in > support of the plaintiff's case, and stated that he had surveyed the > work, which was well and properly done, with the exception of about one > pound's worth of specified work, but most of which could not be > finished on account of the mason’s work being incomplete. He considered > that Richards had done quite value for the amount claimed; and with > respect to the painting of some cottages, &c., which it was sought by > Kevern to make Richards do, no mention was made in the contract, and > the stipulation that "the whole be rendered tenantable" was not > intended to refer to particular work not specified, but only meant that > the work was to be completed properly as far as specified. > > Mr. James Samble and Mr. Thomas Williams were both examined as to the arrangement > made between plaintiff and defendant for dividing the contract, and > each stated distinctly that defendant was to pay plaintiff for his > portion of the work irrespectively of Turner’s part, and that during > the whole of the interview referred to, Mr. FORFAR, solicitor, was > present on behalf of Kevern, and that he drew up several papers > purporting to contain this arrangement, but Richards refused to sign > them until one was drawn which clearly released him from the first > joint contract. This paper, it seems, plaintiff has lost, and > consequently it was not produced. > > At this stage of the trial, Mr. H. ROGERS addressed his Honor for defendant, and contended that although > an arrangement such as described might have been made, the action was > untenable, because Turner’s name was not coupled with Richards’s; and > he denied that the work was completed as it should have been. — The > learned JUDGE here intimated that he could not give his judgment that > night, and he would hear any witnesses for the defence at the next > court; or if defendant’s solicitor wished, he would give judgment > without hearing any witnesses for defendant.

Mr. STOKES, for plaintiff, said the > sum of GBP417 was sued for by himself as agent for Messrs. BISHOP and > WREFORD, of Fowey, Mr. WEST’S solicitors; and injunction to restrain > sale was issued, and on this a written undertaking was given by > defendant’s attorney to pay the debt, interest, and the costs of the > action, and he anticipated that the case would have been heard at the > present sitting of the court, but owing to the absence of a material > witness (Mr. BISHOP) he was under the necessity of asking his Honor to > postpone it. As a four days notice of a countermand must be given, > however, it would be better perhaps to give notice of a new trial. What > he would suggest was, that the disputed part of the claim should be > referred to the Registrar, and that the latter should afterwards report > to his Honor his decision. Mr. HOCKIN did not object to this course, > but asked his Honor to refer the case at once to the Registrar, in > order that the money which had been paid into court might be locked up > as short a time as possible. His HONOR thought that the order should be > made in such a form as would not leave any vagueness about the > questions, and he should therefore take a little time to consider the > matter. > > CUNDY v. TRISCOTT. — This action was brought to recover GBP39 14s., for > work done, money paid, and goods sold, but from this sum the defendant > claimed a set-off. Mr. STOKES, who appeared for the plaintiff, said > that the action had been instituted in the County Court, in the first > instance, but no formal award had been obtained. The account between > the parties was a very long time to investigate it, Mr. Chilcott, who > appeared for the defendant, and he had agreed to ask his Honor to refer > the case to two parties to be afterwards named. A verdict was then > taken for the plaintiff, subject to a reference of all matters of > difference in the cause. > > HORSE CASE, —PRIDHAM v. BALE.— Mr. STOKES and Mr. PASSINGHAM appeared > for the plaintiff, and Mr. HOCKIN and Mr. CHILCOTT for the defendant. > The plaintiff was Mr. Edward PRIDHAM, of Truro, and the defendant Mr. > Henry BALE, of Stonehouse, near Plymouth. The declaration stated that > the defendant took and drove away a horse belonging to the plaintiff > without his consent, and drove and rode it about, using it in a brutal > and cruel manner and with such little care as to render it of little > value, so that the plaintiff was obliged to sell it for a trifle; the > second count alleged that the defendant converted the horse to his own > use, and willfully deprived the plaintiff of it; the third count set > out more particularly the real cause of action, alleging that the > defendant, at his own request, had the use of the horse for the purpose > of trying it, that he took such bad care of the same, and used it in > such a brutal manner, that by reason of defendant’s conduct the horse > was so greatly injured as to be of little use to the plaintiff, who was > obliged to sell it for very little money. To the first of these > allegations the defendant pleaded—not guilty of the charges imputed to > him; and with respect to the second and third counts, he pleaded that > he committed the acts therein charged with the plaintiff’s leave and > license. Upon that issue was joined. > > From the opening of Mr. Stokes and the evidence of the > plaintiff and his witnesses, it appeared that Mr. Pridham, the > plaintiff, is the proprietor of the Times coach running between Truro > and Exeter; and the defendant is a tailor and draper, carrying on > business in partnership at Stonehouse, in the adjoining county. In 1857 > the plaintiff purchased a grey horse from Mr. CLIFT, of Redruth, giving > in exchange for it a bay horse and GBP10. The horse was warranted as a > strong sound horse, and he continued to work and drive it in the coach > sometimes from Truro and Blue Anchor, a distance of twelve miles, and > sometimes between the latter place and Wadebridge. It was a large > powerful horse, 16 hands high, and it continued regularly to do its > work, never having any sickness except once in the month of February, > when it caught the mange while in another stable, but having been > placed under the care of Mr. KARKEEK, veterinary surgeon, it was cured > in the course of a fortnight, and afterwards continued to work in the > coach, never showing the slightest symptoms of unsoundness, and always > eating its food heartily. On the 18th of April, last, Mr. BALE came to > the plaintiff in Truro, to enquire if he had a horse which would suit > him, as his own was such a kicker that he was determined never to drive > it any more. Mr. Pridham took him to his stables and showed him five > horses which he had there, one of which he recommended as likely to > suit the defendant. The latter, however, did not like this horse and > thought that another, a bay horse, would suit him better. Mr. Pridham > said that he might have this in exchange for his own horse and GBP10, > and the defendant agreed to take it on trial. In the course of > conversation, the plaintiff told Mr. Bale that he had a grey horse at > Wadebridge which he thought would suit him, at the same time, > mentioning the character of the animal which had been received from Mr. > LEE of Penzance, from whom it had been purchased by Mr. WICKETT, the > agent of Messrs. MAGOR’S brewery at Redruth, for Mr. Clift, of that > place, and which he warranted to be perfectly sound. Mr. Bale agreed to > take the bay horse on trial, and left his own horse to be worked in the > Times coach, promising to meet MR. Pridham on the Tuesday or Saturday > following, on the evenings of which days the latter would in the course > of his business be in Truro. On neither of these days, however, was the > plaintiff able to see Mr. Bale, but having sent the grey horse from > Wadebridge to Truro on the Wednesday, he learnt on the Saturday, that > Bale had, on the previous day, the 23rd of April, taken it away and > left the bay horse, which he said would not suit him. The horse, it was > alleged, had merely been sent to Truro in order that the defendant > might look at it, and that no authority had been given him to take it > away. On the Friday morning, however, he sent Gill the ostler, to Mr. > Pridham’s stables for the horse, in order that he might try it, and it > was presented to the horse keeper that Mr. Pridham had authorized him > to do so. On this representation, or rather misrepresentation, the > horse keeper allowed him to take the horse away, but the plaintiff was > so displeased with the defendant’s conduct, that he stated he should > have had him apprehended for felony, had he not known his partner to be > a very respectable man. The defendant on obtaining the horse, had it > put into his dog-cart, and drove to Chacewater, taking another person > along with him. After remaining there a few minutes, he returned to > Truro, then proceeded to St. Austell, and next to St. Blazey, a > distance altogether of about 30 miles. The next morning he started for > Plymouth a distance of 40 miles, over a very uneven and bad road, and > some idea of the rate at which he proceeded, might be inferred from the > fact that on arriving at Dubwalls, a little on the side of Liskeard, > the Magnet coach came up, on its way to Truro, as the defendant was > going down the very long and steep hill at that place, and he was then > driving at a rate which Mr. TEDDER, the experienced driver of that > coach, did not consider safe. The defendant proceeded onward, and about > half-past five o’clock he was passed at Antony, about four miles from > Plymouth, by the afternoon mail, which always traverses this distance > at a gallop, but notwithstanding the rapid rate at which they > proceeded, the defendant arrived in time to catch the same bridge at > Torpoint. On the Monday following the defendant wrote to Mr. Pridham > stating that neither of the horses he had of him on trial would suit > him “at any price,” that he had driven the grey horse to St. Blazey on > the Friday, and to Plymouth on the Saturday— that some miles before > reaching Torpoint, he found him quite done up, that he would not eat, > and if a horse would not eat, he could not work, and asking where he > might return him— if at Launceston, as he “should like to be off or > on.” On receiving this letter, the plaintiff wrote the defendant > requesting him to deliver the horse at Truro, the following Saturday. > On that day the horse was not brought to Truro, as requested, but early > in the morning, the defendant, who’s weight is 16 stone, and who for > size is well suited for either Her Majesty’s Lifeguards, or the > regiment of Blues, mounted the horse for the purpose of returning him. > He crossed the steam bridge at Torpoint shortly before six o’clock, at > the same time as the mail which leaves Plymouth at half-past-five > o’clock, and he was here joked by the driver and the guard about his > weight, and the heavy job the horse which the horse had before him. He > told them that the horse would not eat, and he was taking it home to > Mr. Pridham, its owner, upon which the guard advised him to go steadily > down hills, and to walk up. The guard also advised him to take the old > road between Torpoint and Sheviock, as it was half a mile nearer. At > the latter place as well as at Skilly, a distance of nine miles, the > mail changes horses, and as the stages were only short, averaging but > 4-1/2 miles each, it proceeded at a gallop nearly all the way in order > to allow the horses between Skilly and Liskeard, which was perhaps the > heaviest stage between Plymouth and Falmouth, a longer time; but on > leaving Torpoint, defendant kept up with the mail until they came to > the place where the old road branches off, which he took, and then on > coming into the new road again he was ahead of the mail. He kept up > with it until they reached Sheviock, an while they were changing horses > there, he had some rum and milk, which he drank on horseback. He > started a few moments before them, and they saw nothing of him again > until reaching Paulpethick, a distance of three miles, where they found > the horse standing at the door of a public-house. About a mile and a > half from Liskeard he overtook the mail, when Mr. Page, the driver, > said to him “you will kill that horse if you do not mind,” to which he > replied, “all right, old fellow.” He kept up with the mail into > Liskeard, a distance of 16-1/2 miles, and must consequently have > galloped a considerable part of the distance. What the defendant did > with the horse after arriving at Liskeard — whether he visited any > places for the purpose of transacting his business the plaintiff had no > means of ascertaining; but about half past four- o’clock in the > afternoon he arrived at Blue Anchor, which was about 46 miles from > Plymouth, where the plaintiff has stables, and his coach changes > horses. The horse was then in a very distressed condition, evidently > completely knocked up; it was immediately taken into the stables, where > it no sooner got than it fell down. Mr. Pridham’s horse-keeper called > Mr. Bale’s attention to the animal, when the latter replied that he > supposed it was tired. The horse-keeprer said he was afraid the horse > was in a very bad state; and he then caused some reed to be spread in > another stable, and two stalls thrown into one. The horse was got up > with difficulty and led there, when it directly fell down again. While > they were talking about the horse the defendant said that if he had > injured it, he would be answerable for it. About a quarter to five > o’clock the plaintiff, who was driving the Times coach to Truro that > day, arrived at Blue Anchor, and was informed of the state in which the > horse had been brought back. He had not time then to talk about the > matter, but on the defendant getting upon the coach in order to come to > Truro, he told him that he considered he had taken a most unwarrantable > liberty, first in removing the grey horse without his sanction, and > then in riding it such a distance, that defendant had used him ill, and > that if he had driven the horse instead of riding it, it would have > been uninjured. The defendant said that he had several times ridden his > horse from Blue Anchor to Plymouth, in one day, and he asked Mr. > Pridham if he would buy this horse, which the latter declined. As the > horse got no better its feet were fomented with warm water and it was > bled in the neck and kidden vein by Mr. Wm. DENEH, an experienced smith > and farrier, at Blue Anchor, and on Monday, Mr. Karkeek, veterinary > surgeon at Truro, went to see it at the plaintiff’s request, who > ordered its shoes to be taken off and prescribed for it. It continued > to get worse; the hoofs nearly came off, and its body became covered > with sores, and on the 13th of June it was sold at auction, to a farmer > for half-a-crown, with whom it died two days after. It was urged by Mr. > Stokes, that during these journies the horse was so over driven and > ridden by the defendant, as to produce the injuries of which it died, > and that consequently the plaintiff was entitled to compensation for > the loss he had sustained, and the expenses to which he had been put in > being deprived of the use of the horse, and in retaining the services > of the veterinary surgeon, and other attendants during its illness. The > horse was valued by the plaintiff at GBP40; then there was the amount > which the plaintiff had to pay for the hire of a horse during the > illness of the animal in question, together with Mr. Karkeek’s bill for > attendance &c., making altogether about GBP70. > > In support t of the plaintiff’s case, the plaintiff himself, James > PERRYMAN, his horse-keeper in Truro, Mr. Wickett, the agent for Messrs. > Magor’s brewery, Redruth, Mr. George NICHOLLS, brewer, at the same > place, Ferdinand PASCOE, foreman to the late Mr. Karkeek, veterinary > surgeon, Truro, Mr. Alfred TEDDER, coach proprietor, and driver of the > Magnet Coach, Mr. Thos. PAGE, one of the drivers of the Mail, MR. Wm. > BRICE, guard of the same; John SALOMNS, horse-keeper at Blue Anchor, > Mr. P.B. HUDDY, landlord of the inn at the same place, Frederick > SOLOMON, son of the horse-keeper; and Mr. Wm. DENCH, smith and farrier, > Blue Anchor , were called; and, in addition to deposing to > the above statement, they described the horse as a strong and powerful > animal, perfectly sound in constitution, that it always did its work > well, and eat its food heartily. It was admitted, however, in > cross-examination, that there was a mark below one f the knees, as if > caused by a “speedy cut,” that one of the hips was higher than the > other, and that there was a mark left by a blister on the neck, but it > was stated that the cut had evidently been made while young, and that > the difference in the hips in no way impaired the action of the horse, > and that he was perfectly sound while in Mr. Pridham’s possession. In > his cross-examination, the plaintiff admitted, that he warranted the > horse in every respect, and he told the defendant it was up to heavy > weights, was good in either saddle or harness, and that it was fit for > a day’s hunting, if the defendant was fond of that sport. But he did > not tell the defendant that the horse could go sixteen miles a hour, > though if he had done so, it would have been true. > > A letter was also put in from the plaintiff to the defendant, written > in May in which he informed him that Mr. Karkeek gave little hopes of > its recovery—that he attributed the injury entirely to the defendant, > as he (defendant) was aware the horse was perfectly healthy when he > took him away from Truro, and had he driven it fairly into Plymouth or > even a longer distance, he believed the horse would have been in good > health that day. But he was prepared to prove that the defendant did > not drive it fairly. Had defendant asked his consent to ride the horse > from Plymouth to Blue Anchor, knowing his weight, he should certainly > have refused permission. Under these circumstances he expected that the > defendant would pay him GBP40. The plaintiff further added that he saw > the defendant in Exeter two days after writing the above, and offered > to refer the matter to any two respectable veterinary surgeons. > > Mr. HOCKIN then addressed the jury for the defendant. He complained of > the prejudice which both the advocate and witnesses on the other side > had sought to excite in the minds of the jury against the defendant by > distortion of the real facts of the case, and also by the introduction > of statements which were utterly untrue, and he reminded the jury that > most of the witnesses that had been called were directly under the > control and influence of the plaintiff. He submitted that the defendant > had not subjected the horse to what could be considered a severe or > unfair trial. The animal was represented to him as being perfectly > sound in every respect,, thoroughly up to his work, capable of going 16 > miles and hour, of taking him a day’s hunting, and the test of driving > him 30 miles one day, 40 the next, and then, after a week’s rest, of > riding him back to Blue Anchor, was not too severe a trial, considering > the character that had been given with it. So far from the defendant > having been guilty of cruelty, it would be shown that he had treated > the horse with the utmost care and consideration, that instead of > driving it furiously, he had gone at a moderate pace, walking it up the > hills during a great part of the way, as he found the animal was > distressed. The last was however, that the defendant discovered on the > first trial that the horse was not what had been represented— that > while driving to Chacewater, it showed symptoms of weakness, started > and panted as if it had an affection of the heart, and on returning to > Truro on Friday, the 23rd of April, he would have left it had he not > found that the plaintiff had taken away his horse in the coach. The > horse would not eat, and the defendant upon arriving at Plymouth, > immediately wrote to the plaintiff stating that neither of the horses > would suit him, and asking if he should meet the plaintiff at > Launceston with it, which was a much shorter journey than to Truro. He > submitted that under the warranty that had been given, the defendant > was fully justified in trying the horse in the way he had done, and if > the trial proved too severe, the blame must attach to the plaintiff > himself for having misled the defendant as to the character of the > animal. He also urged that the horse had been neglected by the > plaintiff, and improperly treated by those who had the care of it, in > the first instance, after its arrival at Blue Anchor , on the 1st of > May. It was evidently attacked with what was commonly called lamanites > or “acute founder,” that was, inflammation of the feet, a disease that > was very rapid in its progress, but instead of a proper veterinary > surgeon being called in, who would have instantly had the shoes taken > off, and bled the horse in the feet, a village blacksmith was sent for, > who treated the animal for inflammation of the spine, and it was > neglected until the arrival of Mr. Karkeek on Monday, when that > gentleman, seeing the nature of the disease, at once ordered the shoes > to be removed. The diseases, however, had by this time made too great > progress. > > The defendant was then called and examined at great length. He > positively contradicted the plaintiff’s statement in many particulars. > He denied that he had taken the grey horse without his consent, as he > had told him that he should want to take him to Plymouth in order that > his partner might see him before he bought him, and to this arrangement > the plaintiff agreed. Plaintiff described the horse as a very fast one, > on which defendant remarked “perhaps he is too fast – I like a horse > that will go seven or eight miles and hour, not faster.” “Oh,” replied > the plaintiff, you may ride or drive this horse from six to sixteen > miles an hour, and if you are fond of a fay’s hunt, he is the very > horse for you, – he is up to heavy weights, and will carry you a whole > day.” Defendant said, suppose an accident should happen to the horse? > To which plaintiff replied ­ – “I will risk mine, if you will risk > yours.” So far from taking the horse away without the plaintiff’s > permission, the ostler of the Red Lion told him on his return to Truro > on Thursday evening, the 22nd of April, that he had a grey horse in the > stables waiting for him. The next morning he drove the horse to > Chacewater in his dog-cart, observing before he started that it had not > eaten its corn, and so satisfied was he that it was not what it had > been represented that on his return, he asked for his own horse, having > made up his mind to have nothing more to do with the grey, when he was > informed that Mr. Pridham had driven it away that morning to take his > coach. He then proceeded to describe his journies to and from Plymouth. > The first day he drove tot St. Blazey, resting however above five hours > in St. Austell. His evidence went to contradict that of the plaintiff’s > witnesses as to his having driven or ridden the horse fast or cruelly, > and to show that he had gone at a very moderate pace, eased the animal > on going up hill, and taken the greatest care of it. On arriving the > first night at St. Blazey, however, he found that it would not eat its > corn, and the next morning, being anxious to get to Plymouth, he > ordered it to be given a quart of flour in water. Before he got to > Antony, however, the horse was completely knocked up. He denied that he > drove down Dubwalls at a rapid rate, and said that the horse on seeing > the Magnet coach started, which must have led Mr. TEDDER to imagine he > was driving quickly. He also denied that he crossed at Torpoint on the > same bridge as the mail on the afternoon of the 24th, and said that he > did not get into Plymouth that night till eight o’clock. He ordered his > groom to prepare a mash of bran for the horse, but it only ate about > two-thirds of it; it would not touch corn or beans and very little hay. > The morning after his arrival he wrote the letter which had been read, > to the plaintiff, telling him that the horse would not suit, that it > would not eat and could not work, was knocked up before arriving, that > he would not give his own horse for both the bay and the grey, and > asking where he might send the latter. He denied that he got into > Liskeard at the same time as the mail on the morning of the 1st of May, > on his way to Blue Anchor, or that the guard and driver had spoken to > him a mile and a half out of that town. Story continues in this vein > for several more pages. Concludes with: In like manner he put it to the > jury whether they considered that the defendant acted fairly and > rightly in riding the horse, he being a man of 15 stones weight, from > Plymouth to Blue Anchor in one day when he knew at the time that the > horse had refused its corn since it was in his possession, and that it > exhibited, according to his own evidence, symptoms of weakness and > distress. The question for them to consider, was, whether in their > opinion the trial was a fair and proper one.

On Wednesday morning last, Mr. > Nash, police superintendent at Truro, received a telegraphic message > from Captain Popham, informing him that the sailor had left the ship > that morning, and had carried of 70s., and he also described the dress > of the sailor. Mr. Nash went about the town to look for him and sent > police-constable Gav to the railway station, where he saw a man > answering the description given, and brought him to the police station. > On being questioned the man said he had only a shilling or two in his > possession, but Mr. Nash subsequently, found on his GBP2 10s. and a > shilling. It was also found that he had bought in the town a pair of > new trowsers, a blue serge shirt, and a cotton handkerchief, the cost > of which, together with the money in his possession, corresponded with > the amount that he had taken from the vessel. The prisoner was remanded > till Thursday in order that Capt. Popham might attend and appear > against him. On Thursday the case was gone into, and it appeared from > the statement of Captain Richard Popham that DONALDSON had engaged as > an ordinary seaman at Plymouth. It was his watch on deck from five to > eight o’clock on Tuesday morning last, when the schooner was at anchor > in Falmouth harbour. About eight o’clock the capain came on deck and > could not see him, and he found that the boat was gone from the side of > the vessel. On going into his statesroom, the captain found that his > desk had been broken open, all his papers scattered about, and the > money in the desk stolen.

Hi Linda, FreeCen 1841 census shows a William (65-69) and Cathrine (65-69) PEARSON at North Parade, Budock with Charlotte (25-29) and Sarah PEARSON (11). William's birthplace was said to be out of Cornwall and his occupation was listed as "independent". The ages are consistent with birth years between 1772 and 1776. Familysearch.org shows the baptism of a Thomas Harvey PEARSON on January 11, 1805 in Lanteglos by Camelford. Parents William & Catherine. The marriage of William PEARSON and Catherine HARVEY on May 5, 1797 in Lanteglos by Camelford is also on the Familysearch site (and on the OPC database). The fact that William was a sojourner in Lanteglos at the time of the marriage and was serving in a Plymouth division of the military suggests to me that his birthplace may have been in Devon. There is a christening of a Catharine HARVEY on August 2, 1772 in Lanteglos by Camelford. Parents John & Mary. Possible siblings were Maria (May 24, 1767), Samuel (Sept.28, 1769), both baptised in Lanteglos. Thomas Harvey PEARSON (47) and his wife Margaret ALLERTON (37) appear on the 1851 census in Nissouri East, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada. With them were children Charlotte (14), Jane A (11), Thomas W (13), Harry J (9) . John A (6) and Edmond J (3). The eldest daughter's name of Charlotte is some support for the idea that the 1841 census entry for William and Cathrine with a presumed daughter named Charlotte is the same family. If you haven't already found/used the Canadian census for the family, you can access information on them from 1851 onwards at the familysearch site. 1861 census of Falmouth has a Charlotte PEARSON (47, born Camelford) living in Falmouth as the sister in law of William ALLEN (a 57 year old master mariner) and his wife Jane (52). Census entries were often flexible, and "in law" sometimes means "step". Charlotte's occupation was 'fundholder'. Also in the household was 30 year old Sarah J. P. TRADD (born in Padstow), also a fundholder and listed as the niece of the head of household. The ages and relationship is consistent with the Charlotte and Sarah PEARSON found in the 1841 census in Budock, and I think there is a mistranscription of Sarah's surname. There was a Sarah Jane FRADD who was baptised in Little Petherick (next door to Padstow) on November 7, 1830, daughter of Richard and Maria. Richard was a carpenter. Interestingly, siblings of Sarah Jane FRADD were Charlotte (1822), William (1824), Harvey (1826), Thomas (1828), and George (1834) all with the middle name of Pearson, and all baptised at Little Petherick or Padstow. I can't find Charlotte PEARSON in the 1851 census, but a Charlotte PERKINS (44) was the unmarried head of household in Quay Street, Falmouth. Her occupation was "annuitant", and her two daughters were Charlotte WHITE (14) and Eliza WHITE (12). The surname sound-a-like and the 'occupation' would make me keep this as a possibility. In the 1871 census, Charlotte PEARSON (58, born Camelford) was at Gold Martin House, Mawnan, Cornwall, where she was a boarder. She was unmarried, and listed with the disability of 'lunatic'. Head of the household was Ann KEMPTHORNE. In 1881 census, Charlotte (67) was still a boarder of Anne KEMPTHORNE in Mawnan. Sarah Jane FRADD married Theodore James PEARSON in the September quarter of 1867, registration district of Falmouth, Vol.5c, page 246. In the 1871 census, they were in Falmouth. Theodore was 30 and a ship's carpenter. Sarah J was 35 and their children were Jane H. A. (2) and Minnie B.A. (6 months). Theodore's birthplace was listed as Canada West (which means Ontario). In the 1881 and 1901 census, Theodore & Sarah and their children were in Tranmere, Cheshire, where Theodore was a shipwright. All in all, sounds like there is some money in this family. You might get somewhere looking up a will for William and/or Catherine.
