ROYAL CORNWALL GAZETTE, 2 August 1817
TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS The Prince of Wales, REGENT Of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain & Ireland. We, the undersigned NOBLEMEN, GENTLEMEN. CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS, and other INHABITANTS of the COUNTY of CORNWALL, feel it to be our Duty to repeat to your ROYAL HIGHNESS the assurances of our loyal and unalterable Attachment; and to express our Indignation at, and Abhorrence of, the late treasonable Attack upon the Sacred Person of your Royal Highness. As faithful Subjects, strongly attached to our PRINCE ; as Englishmen, proud in the possession of a glorious CONSTITUTION: we are as eager to shield the one from Insult and Violence, as we are to protect the other from Innovation or Subversion. At the present momentous Crisis of Public Affairs, we feel ourselves imperiously railed upon by what we owe to our Country, and our Prince, to enter a solemn Protest against the whole Tenor and Substance of an address purporting to be an Address of the “Gentry, Clergy, Freeholders, and other Inhabitants of the County of Cornwall," which appears by the Public Prints to have been resolved upon at a Meeting held at Bodmin, on the eleventh day of March last, by the Individuals then and there assembled. We are anxious to repel from ourselves the charge of Discontent and Insubordination, to which the spirit of its language must necessarily expose us; and to condemn as groundless and absurd, and to disavow with warmth, that wild and feverish sentiment which declares the temporary and short Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, to be "a part of a Systematic Conspiracy to overthrow the existing Laws and Constitution, and to establish in their stead, and on their ruins, a despotic and military Government." We have witnessed with sorrow, and contemplated with alarm, a spirit of Disaffection and Treason, pervading many parts of the British Empire, owing its birth to the temporary difficulties and distresses which have oppressed the Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce of the Kingdom, and its growth and dissemination, to the artful efforts of designing Traitors, deluded Patriots, and mistaken Reformers. We regard the unanimous Testimony of the Committees of the Lords and Commons as to the existence of these traitorous Conspiracies, as affording to us more than an adequate Proof of their reality, which has been but too well con- firmed by the rash attempts of the Conspirators themselves. Relying, as we do, on the Wisdom and Integrity of the Parliament of this happily united Kingdom, we can neither question the policy, or doubt the necessity, of those measures, which in full and solemn Council, it has thought expedient to adopt ; and which, by a temporary suspension of a part, is intended to ensure the permanent Security of the whole of that fundamental System of Laws, which has so long blessed this happy Land with prosperity, its Government with stability, and its Individuals with a full measure of rational liberty.

Will of father Francis Paynter, 9 July 1819.
Francis’ will requests that he be buried “as near as conveniently may be to the remains of my late beloved wife.” Margaret had died only the year before. He asked that his funeral “be private and conducted with as little expense as common decency will admit of.”
Francis states that he has already made liberal provision for his son Francis Camborne Paynter, with which “he has declared himself fully satisfied.” He was to be given a further sum of twenty guineas as a mark of his father’s “affection and regard.” Also to his wife Elizabeth, five guineas, and two guineas for his grandson Edward* “to be laid out in some article of remembrance.”
Francis states that he has spent two thousand pounds on his son Charles Henry Paynter, plus an annual sum of two hundred and fifty pounds for his personal expenses. Francis says that “I cannot consistently with the justice and duty which I owe to my other children, increase his fortune to a further extent.” However, Charles is to be given two hundred pounds by his executor within six months of his decease, but without interest. His wife Fanny is to be given “five guineas as a mark of my regard and affection.”
To his sons John Pender Paynter and Thomas Francis Paynter, he leaves all his shares in Whele Vor [normally spelt Wheal, meaning Mine] in the parish of Breage and near Helston, and also one near Redruth, and another at Polgooth near St Austle [(normally spelt AUSTELL]. After his death they would become tenants in common, not joint tenants of these shares.
John Pender Paynter was bequeathed the house where Francis lived, called Trekenning in the parish of St Columb Major. This also included all the fields and inclosures and crofts. John is also left enclosures called Castalot or Creggoes, and the meadow that faces the front of the house Trekenning called the Mill Meadow. Also the remainder of his farm in the Garden Meadow.
Thomas Francis Paynter was left Dunkans Meadow, now divided into two fields and the inclosure called Bolithos Field, now divided into three fields in the parish of Saint Columb. Thomas was also left the dwelling house and garden in Higher Trekenning which was rented out for three pounds thirteen shillings and six pence annually. Thomas was also given an annuity of 50 pounds which was rent paid annually by the Reverend Pomeroy Gilbert on the tithes of the Parish of St Wennin. Thomas was also given the benefits of an insurance policy from the Westminster Office for Insurance of Lives and Survivorship. Lastly he was to be paid by the executor two hundred pounds within one year of he father’s death.
All the goods, chattels etc. were bequeathed to John Pender Paynter.

Notes:

Francis was a lawyer at St Columb and distinguished for his wit and humour. He wrote a poem ridiculing the Dean of St Buryan which prevented him from obtaining a valuable stewardship.

"Bennets of Tresillian" by R. G. Kerswell:
There was a long-running dispute in the 1810's & 1820's between the two brothers of the Bennet family and their Receiver's Accounts ie of FrancisPaynter, and following his death, of his son Francis Camborne Paynter, made more complicated by the fact that F.C married one of their sister's Elizabeth Bennet. Neither of the Paynters and their firm are thought of in a very good light.

"Parochial History of the County of Cornwall", 1876.
Boskenna is the property, and was for some time, the residence of the Paynter family. There is a tradition of its having been purchased of one whose family had long possessed it, but who had ultimately become the huntsman of a pack of hounds kept originally as his own.
Mr Francis Paynter of Boskenna, was distinguished for his wit and humour. He was either the sole or joint author of a poem ridiculing the then dean of Buryan, called "The Consultation". He practised as a lawyer at St Columb, and married Miss Pender of Penzance, by whom he had several sons.The exercise of wit is seldom associated with pecuniary gain; and Mr Paynter has been heard to declare that "The Consultation" prevented his obtaining available stewardship from the family of which the dean was a member.
Boskenna is now held of the Paynters by Charles Dacres Bevan, the judge of the district county court, who has considerably improved and beautified it.

Extract from John Wesley's diary, Saturday September 6th, 1766:
"At eight I preached at Mousehole, a large village south-west from Newlyn. Thence I went to Buryan church, and, as soon as the service wasended,preached near the churchyard to a numerous congregation. Just after I saw a gentleman before me, shaking his whip and vehemently striving tosaysomething. But he was abundantly too warm to say anything intelligibly; so, after walking a while to and fro, he wisely took a horse and rodeaway."
