West Briton, 15 June 1840 EAST CORNWALL AND ROBOROUGH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
The annual exhibition of this society took place on Friday last. The
Agricultural Labourer who has maintained the largest family, without
receiving parochial relief, and can produce a good character, William
HAWKEN, Quethiock; second ditto, James MARTIN, Pillaton. The Yearly
Servant in agriculture who has resided the longest time with the same
master, and can produce a good character, John LANGSTON, St. Neot;
second ditto, Matthew DEACON, Stoke. We regret to add that an accident
occurred at the exhibition which proved fatal to a man of the name of
James DAWE, the groom of a very spirited horse belonging to Mr. PROCTOR,
of Metherill, in Calstock. The poor fellow received a severe kick upon
the bowels, which produced such extensive injury that he expired on
Sunday, leaving a wife and two small children.
