message: I am not sure about St Austell being the largest town by population.
<BR>
Have a look at this....
*Restormel Borough Council website says that St Austell, Porthpean and Tregrehan - have a population of 19,710 
*Camborne Town Council Web Site states 'The Town of Camborne has population of approximately 22,500

replies: text: According to the UK 2001 Census (http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/census2001/ks_ua_ew_part1.pdf, Table KS01, page 30), the population of St. Austell is 22,658, more than Truro at 20,920. Also at http://www.historic-cornwall.org.uk/towns/staustell/staustell.htm, St. Austell is said to be the largest town, however the population figure is doubtful. The census information for Redruth and Camborne is given together, so I haven't found invididual data for Camborne. A bit more web searching and I can give you an answer :-) --Joowwww 20:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else think it could be helpful to have a 'Cornwall stub' to use on stubs that don't fall into the 'Cornwall geo stub'; eg people, foods, books, etc relating to Cornwall? DuncanHill 17:32, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The 1508 Charter states, "No [Westminster] Act or Statute shall have effect in the Stannaries without the assent and consent of the twenty-four stannators." Acting in its capacity as appeal court for the colonies, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has declared that any reference to The Stannaries means the whole of Cornwall.
I think this means that no act made after the last meeting of the Stannery parliament can have any effect in Cornwall. The right to "veto the legislation", as stated in the article sounds like the parliament had to make a dicision to stop the acts.
Does anybody know which laws before the last meeting were not assented? And what sense does the sentence 
"The 1508 Charter states, "No [Westminster] Act or Statute shall have effect in the Stannaries without the assent and consent of the twenty-four stannators."

I didn't know Cornwall was a colony.--Son sonson 07:43, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
