The West Briton (Friday, 01 Oct 1858) reported on the following case brought before the Camborne Petty Sessions: "RICHARD PAULL, innkeeper, at St. Erth, was fined £3 and costs, for allowing drunkenness and fighting in his house, on the 13th of August; and LOUISA PAULL, wife of the above, was fined £1 and costs, for assaulting RICHARD HOSKING, a parish constable, of Gwinear, who was passing by Paull's house at the time." The surnames PAULL and FAULL were often confused, and the above report is no exception. The charges were actually brought against Richard FAULL and his wife Louisa. Richard FAULL, son of Henry and Elizabeth FAULL, was born at St. Erth and baptized at nearby Crowan in 1803. He married Maria Louisa COOPER at Uny Lelant in 1837. Her preference for being called Louisa is reflected both in the marriage registration and subsequent census records. She was baptized in 1815 at Uny Lelant, the daughter of Thomas COOPER and his wife Jane Arundell TUCK. Richard FAULL and wife had at least 7 children. He and his family lived in St. Erth at the 1841, 1851, and 1861 Census. He was a farmer at his marriage and at the 1841 and 1851 enumerations. He was an innkeeper in 1861.
