Cornish riot of 1873 - military called out.

 Just found on the web, not news as such, unless you consider finding out something about your history as news. Gives an answer to the question of why the Cornish must be assimilated, we’d riot if we united ourselves. This is the sort of thing that should be taught at school, noone knows about the bread riots in Cornwall around 1847, and its understandable why. Why? Cause and effect, the effects may be different but the causes are still originating from the same source. Things may have changed slightly but the reasons why things happen are still the same.

“Tuesday last will be noted in the history of Camborne as the day a disgraceful and desperate riot calling to mind the bread riots which took place at Pool and Redruth about 20 years ago . (prior to 1847)

On Tuesday last , the “roughs” of the population of Camborne showed what they were capable of doing when in a state of infuriated excitement .

The origin of the riot appears to be attributable to a great dislike and almost hatred of the county police stationed in the town . The popular animosity seems to have been aroused especially against Superintendent Stephens and Police Constable Burton and if they had fallen into the hands of the mob on Tuesday , they would no doubt have received very severe treatment .”
