CALLINGTON LENT ASSIZES Henry Bird 40, a labourer was indicted for stealing a visgie, the property of Edward Matthews of St Ive: It appeared that on the 21st December last, the prosecutor was employed in constructing a hedge, for which purpose he used a visgie or pickaxe. He left it, with other tools, at the end of the hedge, on the evening of the same day. He returned on the 24th December, for the purpose of resuming his work, but found that his visgie had disappeared. He went about two miles distant and found the prisoner working on the road with his (the prosecutor) visgie. Prisoner exclaimed “Halloa farmer, are you come after your visgie?” Prosecutor took the visgie from the prisoner . He gave information to the police and a warrant was issued. Prisoner could not be discovered until the 16th January, when he was apprehended by the police at the Delabole Slate Quarries, which were about 20 miles distant from the prosecutor’s residence. Prisoner, in defence, said the visgie was lent to him. He sent one of his children to ask it to be lent to him, and the child found it in the hedge. He sent the child after it, thinking prosecutor would have no objection to lend it to him. The jury acquitted the prisoner. TITHES TWO

FATAL
MINE ACCIDENT On Saturday last and accident happened at Wheal
Ludcott Mine, St Ive. It appears a pair of men were engaged sinking a
winze in the 38 fathom level. They had blasted a hole at the bottom of the
winze, and Caleb Chapman went down to see what effect the hole had
produced, and was being drawn up by his comrade, who was at the windlass.
Before he reached the top of the winze, by some means he fell out of the
rope, it is supposed about six fathoms. Assistance was immediately
obtained; the fellow as not dead when his comrade came to him, but he died
before he could be brought to the surface. An inquest was held on the body
on Monday, by Mr Jagoe, coroner, when a verdict of ‘Accidental Death’
was returned. Chapman was 25 years of age, and leaves a wife and two
children to mourn their loss. Cornwall Lent Assizes At Bodmin on Monday. Trials of Prisoners. John Halls pleaded not guilty to a charge of stealing three fowls.

They were sold to Mrs Cory in Callington on that day; but the purchasers could not identify the prisoner. A witness named Timewell, who witnessed the transaction identified the prisoner. – Acquitted. |

Bodminland in the parish of St Ive, was brought up in the custody of the police,

prisoner and another man about wrestling, and the landlord was obliged to call
in PC King to quell the disturbance. He succeeded in quietening them, and got
them out of the house, and after coming out prisoner caught King by the collar,
