Re The West Briton Helston Court report: "The only case which excited any public interest on Monday last, was an action by WILLIAM TRESIDDER and ELIZABETH his wife, against OLIVER HOCKING, for an assault (tried before a jury). Mr. H. ROGERS appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr. HILL for defendant. ....." This was William TRESIDDER bap Helston 1809 & his wife Elizabeth, nee PRIDEAUX. They resided at Sithney. As may be gathered from the newspaper report, William was not exactly 'whiter than white'. In fact he was released in 1822 from the Bodmin Bridewell, ' wheelwright, aged 15'; no information found as to what he had been up to! Stephen TRESEDER/TRESIDDER ONE NAME STUDY
