History[edit | edit source]

A man was robbed while staying at the hotel in July 1860:

ROBBERY.—Alexander Davies was brought up on remand charged with stealing a £5 note from John Monk at the Cornwall Arms, where both parties slept in the same room. In addition to the former evidence, Frederick Price deposed that the prosecutor and prisoner came to his house on the morning of the 11th. He showed them a room where no other persons slept. No person was sleeping in the upper part of the house at the time, but the two persons alluded to. A sick man slept downstairs, but he could not move out of bed. About four o'clock in the morning prosecutor called him up and said he had been robbed, and witness went for the police, when prisoner was given into custody. He was searched, but the money was not found upon him. Constable Treacey deposed to the arrest of the prisoner, who was committed for trial at the Circuit Court.[3]
