On Saturday the 12th instant, an inquest was held by Mr. HICHENS, county |
|
|
|
coroner, at the Station House, Prussia Cove, in the parish
of Breage, on the |
|
|
|
body of Lieutenant SHAW SULLIVAN, aged 29 years, who had been in command of |
|
|
|
the Coast Guard, at the Prussia Cove Station. It
appeared that on the |
|
|
|
previous Thursday evening, Lieut. Sullivant was returning
to the station, on |
|
|
|
horseback from the Rev. Mr. FUGE's at Godolphin. About nine o'clock, he |
|
|
|
called at a public house kept by Mr. PEARCE, about half a mile from
the |
|
|
|
station and asked for assistance to his home, as he had
been thrown from his |
|
|
|
horse. On this, Mr. and Mrs. Pearce, and their
female servant accompanied |
|
|
|
him in the direction of Prussia Cove. On the road,
meeting with his horse |
|
|
|
from which he had been thrown, he preferred to go home on
horseback. Mr. |
|
|
|
and Mrs. Pearce and servant left him, and returned to the
inn, but Mrs. |
|
|
|
Pearce, after seeking her husband safe home, he being
near-sighted, she |
|
|
|
again went out in the direction of the Station, feeling
anxious for Mr. |
|
|
|
Sullivan and after walking a short distance, she saw him
lying across the |
|
|
|
road, in a state of insensibility. The horse had
gone on. Assistance was |
|
|
|
procured, and he was conveyed to a farm house and thence
to his own house. |
|
|
|
He lingered from that time until Friday night, in a state
of insensibility, |
|
|
|
and then died. Verdict, "accidental
death." The deceased has left a young |
|
|
|
widow, but no family. |

Appeals |
Breage, appellant, Mr SHILSON and Mr HILL; Redruth, respondent, Mr DARKE and Mr HOCKIN. Appeal against an order
for removal of Catherine ROGERS and her family, from Redruth to Breage. Mr
Darke first objected to the appeal having been respited from the January
sessions; but this objection was withdrawn. He then stated that the
settlement set up by respondents was a derivative settlement of the widow and
children from her husband, his being a birth settlement in the parish of
Breage. There was also a general statement by respondents, that the father of
pauper's husband was legally settled in the parish of Breage. Mr Darke
submitted that the birth settlement of pauper's husband was not denied in the
grounds of appeal; his prima facie settlement was therefore not questioned,
and it was for appellants to show anything that could upset it. He said it
had always been held that where there was a general ground of appeal and also
particular grounds, the latter were to be considered as explaining what was
meant by the general ground.- Mr Shilson replied referring to the grounds of
appeal, and arguing that the birth settlement of pauper's husband was in them
sufficiently traversed.- The court, however, after some consideration,
decided that the birth settlement; of the pauper's husband was not
sufficiently traversed by the third ground of appeal. - Mr Shilson for
appellants, then called Philippa Rogers, seventy five years of age, the
mother of pauper's husband, with the view of proving her maiden settlement by
hiring and service with parties in the parishes of St Agnes, Gwennap, and
lastly Redruth. The maiden settlement of the mother, he said, was sufficient
to destroy the alleged birth settlement of the son in respondent parish. The
service at Redruth for more than one year, was that which was alone spoken to
with any degree of positiveness by the witness, when she said she lived with
Walter BRAY in 1794. Mr Darke however, in reply, submitted that the old
woman's memory was not trustworthy, and to show this more fully, he called
Charles UREN, who stated that in 1794, his father lived in the house where
the old woman said Walter Bray then lived, it being the White Hart inn, now
the De Dunstanville Arms, Redruth. The Court were of opinion that the last
settlement set up by appellants had not been made out. - Order confirmed;
costs £3; maintenance, £3 1s. 6d. |

CALIFORNIAN GOLD DIGGINGS. - A company has been formed in Breage for the purpose of
sending parties to the gold diggings of California. The capital has been all
subscribed, and eight men who are going out, have been provided with tents
and working tools. The company is to be managed upon the same principles as
some of our leading mines, and a code of rules and regulations have been
compiled, which appear to meet every requirement. This is the first company
of the kind carried out in Cornwall. A farewell supper was given at the Star
Inn, in Breage church town, on Thursday the 22nd instant, when about thirty
sat down to the roast beef of old England. Several parties addressed the
meeting on the state and prospects of the Californian territory, and after a
number of complimentary toasts were drank, the meeting separated, the evening
having been spent to the enjoyment of all present. |
