FOUND DEAD.—A man named Richard Perrow, of Penryn, aged 63 years, was found dead on Tuesday morning in a field between Penryn and Falmouth. The deceased, who was a labouring man, and worked at Falmouth, was industrious and steady, and £20 in gold, besides silver and copper, was found in his pockets. He had lived for a number of years alone in a cottage, held by him under a lease on his own life, and it is probable that he carried his savings with him when at work. Although a strong, powerful man, he was afflicted with bronchitis, and it is presumed that he must have been attacked by a fit whilst going to his employment.
