Sir James Tillie appears to have been at the least an eccentric man,
from the fanciful directions which he gave respecting his funeral. He
was succeeded, as has been stated, by his nephew, James Woolley, who
took his name; and the only daughter of this gentleman’s grandson
married the late Mr. John Coryton, of Crockadon, descended by a female
line from the Corytons of Newton. Mr. Coryton was Sheriff of Cornwall
in 1782. His son, Mr. John Tillie Coryton, has built a splendid Gothic
mansion on Pentillie, and made it one of the finest seats in Cornwall.
Both Mr. Hals and Mr. Tonkin have reference to Crockadon and Pentillie
in the parish of St. Dominick, whereas Pentillie is in Pillaton, and
Crockadon in St. Mellion.
The parish of St. Dominick measures 2,778 statute acres.

THE GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.
The geology of this parish is the same as the southern part of
Calstock and the eastern part of Callington.
[40] The bread about to be transmuted by consecration into
actual flesh must be made, at least as to the larger part,
of flour from wheat, or the conversion will not take place.
See the Summa totius Theologiæ, by St. Thomas of Aquine,
Part iii. Quæstio lxxiv. Articulus iii. Conclusio, where the
authority of St. Augustine is adduced to prove that the meal
of any inferior or harder grain would be typical of the
severity enacted by the Laws of Mount Sinai, whereas “Hoc
Sacramentum pertinet ad suave jugum Christi, et ad veritatem
jam manifestatam, et ad populum spiritualem. Unde non esset
materia conveniens hujus sacramenti panis ordeaceus.”――EDIT.
DULO.
HALS.
