| FURSE | - | 05-Feb | 1856 | Fire | St Just in Roseland | FIRE IN ROSELAND - On the evening of the 5th instant, about ten o'clock, a stack of corn standing in a small farm yard, belonging to a farmer called FURSE, in the parish of St Just, (east) about a mile from St. Mawes, was discovered to be on fire. Being on the top of the very high ground which forms the south coast of the harbour, and the night being clear, it formed a bright and brilliant spectacle, over a very extensive area of country, and its splendour, being necessarily accompanied with a certain portion of terror, said to be necessary to constitute the sublime, the formidable element exerted its prerogative, unrestrained, and illumined the firmament for some time. Few persons being near the spot at the time, and water being scarce at that elevation, the whole of the stack, which was not very large, was entirely consumed. It is painful to add, that little or no doubt can be entertained of this mischief being occasioned by some diabolical incendiary. | West Briton 15th Feb 1856 |

A case of poaching and a few other matters, were afterwards disposed of. | West Briton 7th Sep 1849 |
| GERMAN | William | 22-Mar | 1854 | Inquest | St Mawes | On Wednesday, at St. Mawes, on the body of William GERMAN, of that place, aged 22 years.

Point, in the "Alarm," revenue cruiser, he was (on?) the platform gangway throwing the lead to ascertain the depth of water. After he had drawn in his line and was coming down from thence the wind took the mainsail on the port side, and caused the boat to jibe. The mainsail struck deceased and knocked him overboard. Every exertion was made to save him, but he sank before assistance could reach him, and was not seen to rise again. The body was crept up near the same spot the following afternoon. Verdict, "accidentally drowned." | West Briton 24th Mar 1854 |

| HASWELL MURPHY WHISTON | Lieut. Cardigan - | 02-Aug | 1852 | Petty Sessions | Veryan | RIGHT OF CUSTOM-HOUSE OFFICERS TO SEARCH THE PERSON - At the Petty Sessions held at Veryan on Monday last, CARDIGAN MURPHY, a coast guard man on the St. Mawes station, was brought before the bench for having gone into a public-house in St. Just, and meeting a person called WHISTON, and proceeding to search him for smuggled goods; but, finding nothing contraband about him, he left the house. Shortly afterwards, Whiston quitted, but had not walked many yards, when he again met Murphy, who stopped him and went on to search him a second time, but again finding nothing on him, left him. Whiston, the following day, obtained a summons, and the case coming before the magistrates, the ultra-officious coast guard man was fined 50s. and the costs [under a new Act], which provides that any person in the employment of the customs, attempting to search any one personally, without having reasonable ground of suspicion, shall be liable to a fine of GBP 10. The magistrates humanely mitigated the penalty, as it was the first case under this Act of Parliament which had come before them. LIEUT. HASWELL, of the St. Mawes station, was present at the examination, and endeavoured to repudiate the character of the prosecutor, but this was overruled by the bench, the letter of the act being clear. We think it due to the character of the coast guard men, however, as a body, to bear testimony to their general orderly and decent deportment towards the inhabitants at their respective stations. Their demeanour is mostly very correct, and their assistance often very useful to the community. | West Briton 6th Aug 1852 |

| LANGLAND | Alexander | 26-Dec | 1856 | Inquest | St Mawes | The following inquests
have been held by Mr. CARLYON county coroner: On Friday, the 26th ult., at St. Mawes, on the body of Alexander LANGLAND, aged 30 years. The deceased was a gunner and driver in the Royal Artillery stationed at St. Mawes castle and from the evidence of John WOODWARD, a bombardier of the same service, who had charge of the men at the castle, it appeared that the deceased and another man called Richard CAIRNES were not present at the tattoo at half-past eight on Wednesday evening; but about half-past eleven he was sitting in his quarters and heard a noise outside; and on going out he saw gunner Cairnes on the drawbridge, looking over it. Witness asked what he was doing there; he replied that he came over the wall and he thought the deceased had fallen into the ditch. Witness looked into the ditch and saw something lying on the ground; deceased's jacket was open and he saw the breast of his shirt. Witness immediately unlocked the door leading to the ditch, and raised the deceased to a sitting posture, and left him with Cairnes until he got further assistance; he was cold and speechless. As soon as assistance arrived he was carried into the castle and laid on the first bed. Mr. HARDING, surgeon, was sent for from St. Mawes, and attended him; but he died from the injuries he had received between three and four o’clock on the following morning. Richard CAIRNES, gunner R.A., deposed that he and the deceased left the castle on Wednesday evening between six and seven o'clock and remained at St. Mawes till eleven; they then returned to the castle; deceased was the worse for liquor but was able to walk without assistance, and they had both drank alike. On arriving at the castle, witness got over the wall near the castle ditch, and deceased attempted to follow him; he saw him on the top of the wall and saw him fall from thence into the ditch, a depth of about twenty-seven feet. It appeared that the deceased before he died recovered sufficiently to be able to tell those who were near him that he had fallen in the way described, and he hoped it would be a warning to others. Verdict, accidental death. The jury at the same time expressed a hope that some steps would be taken to confine the men to the castle after hours, so as to prevent the recurrence of such an accident. | West Briton 2nd Jan 1857 |

| PUCKLE | E. (Rev) | Dec | 1850 | Emigration | Canterbury NZ | THE CANTERBURY SETTLEMENT - The four vessels that
sailed In September last for this new establishment arrived safe at their
destination, and it is somewhat singular that three out of the four reached
their port, within twelve hours of each other, on the 16th of December. The
fourth, the "CRESSY," was eleven days after the others. They had a most
prosperous voyage. The REV. E . PUCKLE sailed in the "RANDOLPH," and the
passengers and crew of that vessel sent a deputation, unknown to Mr. Puckle,
to wait on the REV. DR. SELWYN, the Bishop of New Zealand, to express their
great affection for, and admiration of, the reverend gentleman's Zeal and
christianlike demeanour to the whole of the numerous ship's company, that he
had preserved harmony and peace throughout the voyage, and promoted the
comfort and happiness of all. The Bishop in reply said he was delighted to receive this testimony to Mr. Puckle's merits, he had heard of the unity that had prevailed on board of the "Randolph," and he was highly pleased that the reverend gentleman had been able to carry out, his, the bishop's, views, stated in one of his lordship's letters to England, and the "he had so knit all hearts as to have brought his flock with him." The bishop subsequently gave Mr. Puckle a most cordial and flattering reception, and we have no doubt that he will prove one of the most efficient and useful persons in the construction of this new colony. The circumstances which led to Mr. Puckle's removal from St. Mawes, have thus, as we are glad to learn, indirectly contributed to his own benefit, and to the general advantage of an interesting community. | West Briton 13th Jun 1851 |

Mrs. RODD's sympathy and innate benevolence unceasingly and unsparingly exerted amongst the sick and the distressed will create a lasting and grateful remembrance of her many virtues. Generous, tolerant, and expansive, her charities embraced all shades and all classes.

| SPRAKE | (dau) | 09-Jan | 1855 | Injury | St Mawes | CHILD BURNT - A little girl, daughter of MR. SPRAKE, was in her grandfather’s house at St. Mawes on the 9th instant, playing with some children, when her clothes were unfortunately set on fire. She rushed out of the house through the street to her father’s house, by which time most of her clothes were burnt, and before the flames could be extinguished she was greatly injured.

| STEP | Horatio | 11-Jan | 1856 | Assault | St Mawes | ASSAULT BY DRUNKEN SOLDIERS Two of the soldiers belonging to the Militia, a party of whom are stationed at St. Mawes Castle, have been charged before the magistrates with being drunk and assaulting HORATIO STEP, a constable in the execution of his duty, by striking him with one of their belts, and threatening to murder him. The picket was obliged to be called out, and we are sorry to record, that it appeared from the evidence of Mr. Step, that this brought rather an accumulation of his enemies than a reinforcement to add to the security of his position, and after volleys of oaths, imprecations and menaces, he returned in safety to his home. Great credit is due to this intelligent and intrepid officer, for his public spirit on this occasion, and his activity and determination in vindicating the law by bringing the offenders before the court. One of the parties was fined ten shillings, and the other five shillings, with the costs in both cases, and a notice from the bench, that any future similar cases would be visited by much heavier penalties. It is of the highest importance to society at large that constables, and all executors of the laws, should receive essential protection, for of what use is it for senates to make statutes to preserve property and life if they do not impart special safeguards to those, who, as Punch says, are the "finishers of the law." | West Briton 11th Jan 1856 |

| TREGEAGLE VEACH | William James | 16-Nov | 1855 | Inquest | St Mawes | CORONERS' INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held before Mr. JOHN CARLYON, county coroner:- ... On the same day {Friday 16th} at St. Mawes, on the body of JAMES VEACH, a master mason of Truro aged 55 years, who was killed last Thursday afternoon at Place, in the parish of St. Anthony, whilst he and one of the workmen, called WILLIAM TREGEAGLE, were employed in pulling down an old house on the grounds of Sir SAMUEL SPRY. The front wall was built partly of stone and partly of cob, and from the evidence of William Tregeagle it appeared that at the time of the unfortunate occurrence they were undermining a portion of it, about 16 feet long and between 9 and 10 feet high at each end. Witness when he had nearly got through his end gave the wall a blow, and observing it shake and inclined to fall, called the deceased to get out of the way, but he jumped from the board on which he was standing in a wrong direction, and in attempting to escape the wall fell on him and he was crushed underneath it. Assistance was immediately at hand and he was extricated in about three minutes, but life was extinct. Verdict, "accidental death." | West Briton 23rd Nov 1855 |

The wind was blowing strong from the south-west, and a heavy sea was running; but fortunately MR. DASH, another pilot, was not far off in a punt with two men, and on seeing the accident they went to assist, and got the five men into their little punt, two of them being nearly exhausted. They then rowed the boat, with the eight men in her, and a quantity of water, stern before, unto they cleared St. Anthony Point. | West Briton 2nd Nov 1849 |
| VINCENT | (Mr) | 28-Dec | 1849 | Incident | St Mawes | SUSPENSION OF PILOTS - We understand that Mr. VINCENT, of St. Mawes, and the other pilots on board his pilot boat at the time of speaking the “Mary,” of Dartmouth, lost near Falmouth about a fortnight since, are suspended from acting till some further investigation has taken place relative to the charges against them for not taking the ship under their care. | West Briton 28th Dec 1849 |
