Deceased had been remarkably healthy, from his childhood; but a short time since he was observing to a friend that he had never taken a dose of even the most simple medicine in his life. On Saturday last he went to bed between nine and ten o’clock, apparently in good health; but about quarter past twelve his wife heard a little gurgling in his throat, and called to her son who was sleeping in an adjoining room, and who came in immediately. He found his father ill, and he died in about a minute afterwards. From the evidence of Mr. Prynn, surgeon, it appeared that death was caused by congestion of the brain or apoplexy; and a verdict was returned to that effect. | Royal Cornwall Gazette 16th Mar 1849 |

Major Andrew, R.G.A. (Plymouth), acted as best man, and the Rector, the Rev A H Wood, officiated and gave a short and impressive address on the sanctity of married life. As the newly wedded pair left the church the organist, Miss BLICHFORD, played a Wedding March, and a peal of bells was rung. A reception was held at "Rosevine."

BEHENNA | Isaac | Feb | 1852 | Crime | Gerrans | STEALING MEAT - A man called ISAAC BEHENNA, was committed to the sessions last week by Mr. CREGOE, for stealing from an outhouse belonging to Mr. EDWARD JOHNS, butcher, of Gerrans, about fourscore pounds of fresh beef. Some circumstances induced Mr. Johns to suspect the above person, and he obtained a search warrant from the magistrate, and the stolen meat was discovered concealed in the bed. A neighbouring house was also submitted to a search, but the officers lost scent; they explored the premises very narrowly, but they forgot to peep into a well, where, (as well as truth) lay a portion of the booty. It seems that a small gang of worthless fellows have lately been engaged in a crusade against the poultry courts, and gardens in that parish and the recent discovery it is hoped will lead to the detection, and breaking up of their nefarious avocation. | West Briton 20th Feb 1852 |
BEHENNA | Isaac | Feb | 1852 | Crime | Gerrans | ISAAC BEHENNA, 24, was charged with entering the dwelling house of EDWARD JOHNS, and stealing a quantity of beef and pork. Prosecutor is a butcher of the parish of Gerrans. On the 6th of February he had some salted beef and pork in his back kitchen, adjoining the dwelling-house. He shut the door that evening and went to bed, but did not recollect whether he locked the door. Next morning (Saturday) it was found the meat had been stolen; the quantity was above four score weight. Having had information, a search warrant was obtained, and prosecutor, with MERRIFIELD, a constable, and LEWARNE, a blacksmith, went to prisoner's house, where part of the beef and pork was found in two earthen pans, and the remainder concealed in a bed-tie. A bag belonging to prosecutor was also found in prisoner's house. Lewarne was called, and gave evidence that on Friday night he was in his blacksmith's shop about twelve o'clock; it was a bright moonlight; he hear a footstep, and looking outside he saw Isaac Behenna, who was then going towards Trewithian, where prosecutor lives. Verdict, Guilty; Five Months' Hard Labour. | West Briton 2nd Apr 1852 |

CANNING | - | 11-Jan | 1856 | Petty Sessions | Ruan High Lanes | ANOTHER GAME LAW CASE At the petty sessions at Ruan High Lanes, on Monday last, JOHN TREGUNNA, a servant man to Mr. CANNING, of St. Anthony in Roseland, was charged at the instance of SIR SAMUEL SPRY, with being found in the pursuit of game. The prosecution was conducted by MR. MOORMAN, in the absence of MR. CHILCOTT, and the defence by MR. STOKES. The only prominent feature in the case seemed however to be the paucity of circumstances which the accusing party possessed of criminating the defendant, in the offence against the game laws. It appeared by the evidence, that Mr. Canning desired Tregunna, his own servant, to place his own gin, at a certain point in his own land, to catch a rabbit. On Tregunna going in the morning to look after the gin, Sir Samuel's gamekeeper jumped over the hedge, and said he had found a pheasant in the gin, which he immediately seized possession of. The appearance of the gin, however, indicated that no traces of a struggling bird could be observed, and Mr. Canning identifying the instrument as his own, there not a scintilla of evidence to substantiate the charge, and the prosecutor was in an instant out of court. The magistrates immediately dismissed the case, with the significant remark that "it ought never to have been brought there." | West Briton 11th Jan 1856 |

CREGOE | - | 02-Feb | 1852 | Crime | Gerrans | MALICIOUS TRESPASS - On the 2nd instant, two men called SNELL and JOHNS, were committed to Bodmin goal, to hard labour for one month, by Mr. GWATKIN, for committing a malicious trespass by tearing off the roof of a little summer cot, standing in a picturesque spot on the cliffs of Gerrans bay, belonging to Mr. CREGOE of Trewithian. The inducement to perpetrate this outrage was, the circumstance of Mr. Cregoe being the committing magistrate some time since, that sent Snell to goal for an offence against the game laws. We very much concur with the general expression of public opinion on the oppression of the game laws taken as a system; but we cannot too strongly protest against encouragement being given in those cases to poachers, who are the greatest pests of every rural district where they are found. In addition to idleness, drunkenness, and other vices, if in their nocturnal excursions game cannot be found, the neighbouring hen roosts, and corn lofts, answer their purpose full as well. They go armed and are desperate even to murder when obstructed and deserve the repudiation of all good members of society, although the description of the game laws given by Blackstone may be very correct, that they were a bastardship of the odious and oppressive forest laws, enacted by William the Conqueror. | West Briton 20th Feb 1852 |

CREGOE | J. Garland | 1855 | Death | Cheltenham | THE LATE Mr. J. GARLAND CREGOE - Since the deceased of this worthy and respectable gentleman, (late of Gerrans,) some malignantly ingenious persons, have invented a tale, fraught with circumstances very incompatible with his well-established good character, and calculated to tarnish his memory. To obviate this, and to vindicate his good name, an old friend deems it necessary to refer to the statement of the particulars at the time as given in the Cheltenham paper, where it seems, that having been found in the gravel walk of his garden motionless, he was carried into his house, and medical aid promptly obtained, but it was found that life was extinct. The very sudden event rendered a coroner's inquest imperatively necessary, which consequently took place, and a post mortem examination into the cause of death was adopted. The operation was performed by Mr. ELEAM, a very respectable surgeon at Cheltenham, with the assistance of Dr. SPEER and Dr. PREBLES, two eminent physicians in the same town. They discovered on examining the head a large coagulum of blood pressing on the brain, arising from the bursting of some vessel, and producing apoplexy. On looking into the chest they discovered a contraction of the right ventricle of the heart, which rendered the flow of blood into that organ a matter of difficulty, by obstructing the free return of blood from the head, and occasioning there, congestion and a rupture of one of the vessels of the brain. All these appearances made clearly demonstrative to the medical men the real cause of death, and the coroner and jury unhesitatingly returned a verdict - Died of apoplexy, induced by a contraction of the ventricle of the heart obstructing the return of blood from the head." This finally establishes the fact and defeats the malicious insinuations of gossips and slanderers. | West Briton 23rd Feb 1855 | |
CREGOE | Laura | 01-Jun | 1845 | Death | Trewithian, Gerrans | At TREWITHIAN, in the parish of GERRANS, on Sunday last, Laura, second daughter of Mathew Garland CREGOE, Esq., after a lingering and painful illness, sustained throughout with Christian fortitude. Of retiring and studious habits, this young lady cherished but a limited intercourse with society, depending chiefly for her enjoyments upon those resources which a cultivated taste amply furnished her: reading music and her masterly pencil were her constant occupation. Finding delicate constitution assailed, she yielded at once to the stern dispensation, and contemplating the awful monitor in the distance, in the flower of youth, in the midst of affluence, and in the fullness of earthly joy, she surrendered to the Approaching separation from this world, with a murmur, and with a calmness and serenity, continuous even in pain, and only derivable by a reflecting mind from promises revealed, assurances brightened, and emotions genuinely religious. To her family, and the few who knew and valued her, her many virtues and qualities will long present a theme of endeared remembrance. | West Briton 6th Jun 1845 |

DINNEY | Wm | 22-Jan | 1859 | Inquest | St Anthony in Roseland | MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE - On Saturday last, an inquest was held before Mr. J. CARLYON, county coroner, at St. Anthony in Roseland, on the body of Wm. DINNEY, aged 51 years. The deceased was under-gamekeeper to Sir. S. T. SPRY, and from the evidence of Mr. Wm. CLEMMOW, farmer, of Boharrow, it appeared that deceased, witness, and three others, went in a small boat to Polvarth, about five o'clock on Friday afternoon, and from thence proceeded to St. Mawes. After remaining there about an hour, the deceased and witness left in the boat to return to St. Anthony, but finding that the wind was growing strong, and that they could not get up the river, they turned and made for Porth Mill, where they landed on the quay. It was however so dark that they were unable to find any place at which to moor the boat, and witness held the painter while the deceased left him to go and ask Mr. MARSDEN, of Porth Cottage, where they could moor it. At this time, the water was high, and on a level with the road, and a quantity of sea weed was floating on the water and road, which prevented the latter from being distinguished. The deceased unfortunately in the dark walked into a mill pond, on the other side of the road, and although every exertion was made by Mr. and Mrs. Marsden, and others, for the recovery of the body they did not succeed in doing so, till deceased had been under water nearly two hours, when life was extinct. Verdict, "accidental death." | West Briton 28th Jan 1859 |
DIXON | Joseph | 24-Nov | 1849 | article | St Anthony in Roseland | NEW POTATOES - On Saturday last a small sample of very fine new potatoes was exhibited at Falmouth. They were the produce of JOSEPH DIXON, of St. Anthony in Roseland, were planted in June last, and have thriven and attained perfection in the open air without any other protection than a mat hung over them at night. Dixon has been very successful with his potatoes for some time past, and has been in advance of most other cultivators by two or three months. His present success, however, much exceeds what he has hitherto accomplished. | West Briton 30th Nov 1849 |

HILL | George | 11-May | 1858 | Court case | Westminster | COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, MAY 11. Sittings at Nisi Pries, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, and Common Juries. NASH v. Hill. - Mr. Edwin JAMES, Q.C., and MR. HAWKINS, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. ROWLEY for the defendant. The plaintiff, George Nash, was a schoolmaster, residing in the Grove, Hackney, and he sued the defendant, George Hill, a shipowner, residing near Falmouth, to recover the sum of GBP70 13s. 6d. for work and labour, and upon an account stated. The defendant pleaded the general issue, and also the statute of limitations. It appeared the plaintiff formerly resided at Falmouth, and had been employed by the defendant, who was a ship’s husband and part-owner of a vessel called the "Acastus," to keep the accounts of the ship, for which he was to be paid by a percentage on the profits upon the freight. On the 10th of March, 1852, at the request of the defendant, the plaintiff had met the part-owners to settle their accounts, which included various sums due to the plaintiff, and which were then settled and signed. It was upon the account so stated that the plaintiff chiefly relied to recover in this action. The writ in the action was issued on the 6th of March, 1858, and it was contended on the part of the plaintiff, that though the items included in the account were some of them more than six years old, the statement of the account was an acknowledgement and promise to pay, which took the case out of the statute. Mr. ROWLEY, for the defendant, contended that the statement of the account was no evidence of a promise to pay, and was quite consistent with the plaintiff’s having been paid at the time. - Mr. Justice COLERIDGE directed the jury to find for the plaintiff, for the sum of GBP12, and gave the plaintiff leave to move the Court to increase the amount by the sum of GBP58 13s 6d., if the Court should be of the opinion that the statement of the account took the case out of the statute. | West Briton 21st May 1858 |

JAMES | Elizabeth | 23-Oct | 1846 | Inquest | Portscatha | The following inquests have been held before JOHN CARLYON, Esq., coroner, since our last report: On Friday last, at Portscatha, in the parish of Gerrans, on the body of ELIZABETH JAMES, aged 54 years, the wife of a respectable superannuated boatman of that place. The deceased, for some weeks previous to the 18th September last, had been observed to labour under a great degree of mental anxiety and despondency, but no cause could be assigned for it, as she lived happily with her husband, and they appeared to have every comfort about them. On the morning of that day, however, her niece, on entering the house, was horror struck at seeing her lying of the floor with her throat dreadfully cut, and a razor lying by her side. An alarm was immediately made, and some persons having entered the house, placed her in a chair, and carried her up to bed, where she lingered in a hopeless state until Thursday last, when death terminated her existence. Subsequental to the committal of the rash act, she acknowledged that she had done it with her own hand, in a moment of weakness, which she could not get the better of. Verdict, that the deceased committed self destruction by cutting her throat with a razor, whilst labouring under a temporary fit of insanity. | West Briton 30th Oct 1846 |

JENNINGS | Thomas | 24-May | 1852 | Prosecution | Truro | COMPLAINT AGAINST VAN PROPRIETORS - On Monday last, four van proprietors, WILLIAM JAMES, JOHN JAMES, and JOHN STEVENS, each of St. Agnes, and THOMAS JENNINGS, of Gerrans, were summoned before the Truro magistrates, in consequence of a complaint preferred on behalf of MISS BARLOW, shopkeeper at the West Bridge, Truro, that the defendants had obstructed the public thoroughfare with their vans. Mr. Stokes appeared on behalf of the defendants, whose case appeared to be as follows. Some time since, in consequence of complaints that the vans were a public obstruction at the West Bridge, a committee was appointed by the Truro Improvement Commissioners, who decided that the vans should stand in a certain position at the West Bridge, so as to leave a passage of sixteen feet on each side of the line of vans. But Miss Barlow considering that they were still an obstruction to persons entering her shop, laid information against the four defendants, who were convicted under the Truro Improvement Act, and though not fined, were ordered to pay the costs, 8s.6d. each. It appears that the local act gives no power either to the Improvement Commissioners or the Town Council, to allot places for the vans to stand, and that on complaints being made, and the slightest obstruction of the thoroughfare proved, the magistrates are compelled, under the act referred to, to convict the defendants. In the present instance, it is stated that the tradesmen generally at the West Bridge do not desire the removal of the vans, and the case being considered one of some hardship to the van owners, a subscription has been entered into, and the costs, altogether 34s. have been refunded to them. | West Briton 28th May 1852 |
JENNINGS | Thomas | 23-Mar | 1872 | Death | Gerrans | SUDDEN DEATH – The sudden death of Mr. Thomas Jennings, late innkeeper of the “Royal Standard,” at Gerrans village, took place on the evening of the 23rd instant, within ten minutes of his entering his house on returning from Truro. He has been long in an ailing condition, but on Friday and Saturday last he appeared much better than usual; on entering his house, however, he exclaimed to his wife “Oh! Elizabeth, how I am suffering in the stomach,” and fell back in a chair and expired. Mr. Carlyon held an inquest on the body on Wednesday, when a verdict of “died from natural causes” was given. | Royal Cornwall Gazette, Sat 30th Mar 1872 |

JOHNS | - | 02-Feb | 1852 | Crime | Gerrans | MALICIOUS TRESPASS - On the 2nd instant, two men called SNELL and JOHNS, were committed to Bodmin goal, to hard labour for one month, by Mr. GWATKIN, for committing a malicious trespass by tearing off the roof of a little summer cot, standing in a picturesque spot on the cliffs of Gerrans bay, belonging to Mr. CREGOE of Trewithian. The inducement to perpetrate this outrage was, the circumstance of Mr. Cregoe being the committing magistrate some time since, that sent Snell to goal for an offence against the game laws. We very much concur with the general expression of public opinion on the oppression of the game laws taken as a system; but we cannot too strongly protest against encouragement being given in those cases to poachers, who are the greatest pests of every rural district where they are found. In addition to idleness, drunkenness, and other vices, if in their nocturnal excursions game cannot be found, the neighbouring hen roosts, and corn lofts, answer their purpose full as well. They go armed and are desperate even to murder when obstructed and deserve the repudiation of all good members of society, although the description of the game laws given by Blackstone may be very correct, that they were a bastardship of the odious and oppressive forest laws, enacted by William the Conqueror. | West Briton 20th Feb 1852 |

JOHNS | Edward | Feb | 1852 | Crime | Gerrans | STEALING MEAT - A man called ISAAC BEHENNA, was committed to the sessions last week by Mr. CREGOE, for stealing from an outhouse belonging to Mr. EDWARD JOHNS, butcher, of Gerrans, about fourscore pounds of fresh beef. Some circumstances induced Mr. Johns to suspect the above person, and he obtained a search warrant from the magistrate, and the stolen meat was discovered concealed in the bed. A neighbouring house was also submitted to a search, but the officers lost scent; they explored the premises very narrowly, but they forgot to peep into a well, where, (as well as truth) lay a portion of the booty. It seems that a small gang of worthless fellows have lately been engaged in a crusade against the poultry courts, and gardens in that parish and the recent discovery it is hoped will lead to the detection, and breaking up of their nefarious avocation. | West Briton 20th Feb 1852 |
JOHNS | Edward | Feb | 1852 | Crime | Gerrans | ISAAC BEHENNA, 24, was charged with entering the dwelling house of EDWARD JOHNS, and stealing a quantity of beef and pork. Prosecutor is a butcher of the parish of Gerrans. On the 6th of February he had some salted beef and pork in his back kitchen, adjoining the dwelling-house. He shut the door that evening and went to bed, but did not recollect whether he locked the door. Next morning (Saturday) it was found the meat had been stolen; the quantity was above four score weight. Having had information, a search warrant was obtained, and prosecutor, with MERRIFIELD, a constable, and LEWARNE, a blacksmith, went to prisoner's house, where part of the beef and pork was found in two earthen pans, and the remainder concealed in a bed-tie. A bag belonging to prosecutor was also found in prisoner's house. Lewarne was called, and gave evidence that on Friday night he was in his blacksmith's shop about twelve o'clock; it was a bright moonlight; he hear a footstep, and looking outside he saw Isaac Behenna, who was then going towards Trewithian, where prosecutor lives. Verdict, Guilty; Five Months' Hard Labour. | West Briton 2nd Apr 1852 |

The poor fellow in his usual health, without one moment’s warning, fell on the deck dead. He was 55 years of age. An inquest was held when the coroner’s jury returned a verdict of “Died from the visitation of God”. The remains of the deceased were buried in Gerrans Churchyard on Sunday when a large number of persons attended. Captain Johns leaves a wife and two children who mourn his loss.

his own works in all the principal towns of the United Kingdom, and on the
Continent. The charm with which he sang and played his own compositions was
unequalled in his day, and he enjoyed a tremendous popularity. He wrote over
100 songs, an opera and many of his own lyrics. His best known works include
"She dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways," "Apple Blossoms," "Mourn Not," and, of
course, the ever-popular "Douglas Gordon." Since the death of his two young
sons in the war he has rarely appeared in public, though now and then he has
accompanied his daughter, Muriel Lawrence Kellie, who has been carrying on
the family tradition. The funeral at St Just-in-Roseland Church on Tuesday was attended by many friends.

NANKIVELL | J.P. (Mr) | 05-Oct | 1870 | Presentation | Gerrans | Presentation to a Corn Merchant for
Honourable Dealings. On Wednesday evening, the 5th last, about 50 of the leading farmers of the district, amongst whom were Messrs. Giles Williams, T. Blamey, J. and J. Hocking, W. Dingle, T. Cleave, P. Thompson, C. Reynolds, W. L. Earle, J. Earle, J. Trounce, R. Clemow, J. Roberts, J. Martin and R. Lanyon met at the "White Hart" hotel, to o honour to Mr J. P. Nankivell, corn merchant, of Gerrans, by presenting him with an elegantly chased and valuable silver tea service, in recognition of his honourable dealings with them during the last 21 years as a corn buyer.. Mr Giles Williams, jun., of Barn, Ruanlanihorne, presided over the meeting, and the presentation was made by Mr W. Colliver Blamey, of Penhale, Veryan. Both gentlemen as well as Mr. John Martin of Truro, Mr. S. Cleave, Merther, Mr. James Hocken, Ardevoran, in addressing the meeting, spoke in the highest terms of the satisfactory and honourable manner in which he had done business with them; the latter referred to the same principles, and straightforwardness existing in Mr Nankivell's father before him. The two fathers had done business, and now the two sons did, with equally satisfactory results. Each speaker bestowed high eulogiums on the recipient's conduct. Mr. Nankivell made a lengthy speech in response, in the course of which he tendered his heartfelt thanks for the handsome testimonial. He did so with much feeling, which arose from their praise and remarks of approval bestowed on him. He must say that during the 21 years he had done business with them as a corn merchant, he had had gentlemen, in every sense of the word, to deal with, and his object had been, as his father's was before him, to deal with, and his object had been to deal as honourably as it was possible to do, not for the sake of praise - never dreaming that it would be noticed in the handsome manner it was that evening, but for honesty's sake. It was intensely gratifying to find that one's conduct and mode of dealing was appreciated, that such a number of gentlemen with whom he did business had confidence in him; it made a man proud to feel that those around him would implicitly trust him. The testimonial would be of treble value to him, coming from whom it did. "We like the gift when we the giver prize." He must say, on the score of fair and honourable dealing, that if he merited a testimonial they as richly did. The service would be handed down to his family as an heirloom. In conclusion, he trusted they might live long to enjoy ach other's society and to do business, if it could be done with satisfactory results. | West Briton 13th Oct 1870 |

On Monday last, at St. Anthony in Roseland, on the body of John SHORE, sailor, aged 23 years, who was wrecked last Thursday night under the following circumstances:- From the evidence of John RUNDELL, it appeared that deceased and himself sailed from Alderney on Wednesday the 30th ult., in a smack called the "Two Brothers" twenty three tons register. They had no cargo but about twelve tons of ballast on board; about nine o'clock in the evening of the following day, they were off St. Anthony Point, about a mile from the shore, when a sea struck her, and before she perfectly righted, she was struck by a second one, which completely disabled her, and she drifted ashore about a mile to the east of the Lighthouse, where she soon went to pieces. Witness and deceased both got on an island rock, where they remained about half an hour. The tide was then flowing, and after deceased has assisted witness in pulling off his sea boots, witness made for the shore, which he reached with great difficulty. Witness saw deceased on the rock after he had got on shore, and heard him crying for mercy, but he could render him no assistance and in the course of a short time, a sea washed over the rock and witness saw nothing more of him until he was picked up near the spot the following Saturday. Verdict, "accidentally drowned." | West Briton 8th Apr 1853 |

SNELL | - | 02-Feb | 1852 | Crime | Gerrans | MALICIOUS TRESPASS - On the 2nd instant, two men called SNELL and JOHNS, were committed to Bodmin goal, to hard labour for one month, by Mr. GWATKIN, for committing a malicious trespass by tearing off the roof of a little summer cot, standing in a picturesque spot on the cliffs of Gerrans bay, belonging to Mr. CREGOE of Trewithian. The inducement to perpetrate this outrage was, the circumstance of Mr. Cregoe being the committing magistrate some time since, that sent Snell to goal for an offence against the game laws. We very much concur with the general expression of public opinion on the oppression of the game laws taken as a system; but we cannot too strongly protest against encouragement being given in those cases to poachers, who are the greatest pests of every rural district where they are found. In addition to idleness, drunkenness, and other vices, if in their nocturnal excursions game cannot be found, the neighbouring hen roosts, and corn lofts, answer their purpose full as well. They go armed and are desperate even to murder when obstructed and deserve the repudiation of all good members of society, although the description of the game laws given by Blackstone may be very correct, that they were a bastardship of the odious and oppressive forest laws, enacted by William the Conqueror. | West Briton 20th Feb 1852 |

The well is about two feet square, and inclosed by a door 2 feet 3 inches by 2 feet. It is difficult to conjecture how he could have got into the well; but it is supposed that he might have been looking in, and was probably thrust in by the sudden closing of the door by a blast of wind.

TREGUNNA | John | 11-Jan | 1856 | Petty Sessions | Ruan High Lanes | ANOTHER GAME LAW CASE At the petty sessions at Ruan High Lanes, on Monday last, JOHN TREGUNNA, a servant man to Mr. CANNING, of St. Anthony in Roseland, was charged at the instance of SIR SAMUEL SPRY, with being found in the pursuit of game. The prosecution was conducted by MR. MOORMAN, in the absence of MR. CHILCOTT, and the defence by MR. STOKES. The only prominent feature in the case seemed however to be the paucity of circumstances which the accusing party possessed of criminating the defendant, in the offence against the game laws. It appeared by the evidence, that Mr. Canning desired Tregunna, his own servant, to place his own gin, at a certain point in his own land, to catch a rabbit. On Tregunna going in the morning to look after the gin, Sir Samuel's gamekeeper jumped over the hedge, and said he had found a pheasant in the gin, which he immediately seized possession of. The appearance of the gin, however, indicated that no traces of a struggling bird could be observed, and Mr. Canning identifying the instrument as his own, there not a scintilla of evidence to substantiate the charge, and the prosecutor was in an instant out of court. The magistrates immediately dismissed the case, with the significant remark that "it ought never to have been brought there." | West Briton 11th Jan 1856 |
