THE LATE MR. PENDARVES, OF PENDARVES. - Another of the
old and staunch Reformers of this county has been taken from us. Edward
William Wynne Pendarves, full of years and full of honour, died at his
seat, Pendarves, on Sunday last. Our readers have long known and
strongly appreciated his services to the cause of Civil and Religious
freedom, and although from his age and growing infirmities his decease
has been long anticipated, they cannot the less mourn his loss. At the
time of his death he might be well called the father of Liberal opinions
in the county of Cornwall; he was the last survivor of that little band
of eminent men who, in the early part of this century, when liberal
principles were but little understood, when their value was scarcely
appreciated, steadily and unswervingly advocated those great truths
which have since received such general acceptance, and formed that
strong public opinion among the yeomanry of this county which has been
continually growing, and of which we have so many proofs down to the
present day.
Mr Pendarves was the eldest surviving son of John STACKHOUSE, Esq., by Susanna, only child and heiress of Edward Acton Esq., of Acton Scot, Salop. He was born at Pendarves on the 6th of April, 1776, and assumed the additional surname of Wynne, by sign manual in 1816, and in the same year that of Pendarves instead of Stackhouse; the latter substitution having been made in consequence of his descent from a female branch of the family of Sir William Pendarves of Pendarves. Mr. Pendarves was, we believe, educated at Harrow, whence he removed to Trinity College, Oxford, and afterwards to All Souls, where he graduated B.A. in 1797, and M.A. in 1801. He also afterwards became a fellow of All Souls, and held for several years the office of sub-warden of the same college. In 1804, he was married to Tryphena, third daughter and sole surviving heiress of the Rev. Browne Trist, of Bowden in Devon, who survives him. Such are the general details of the birth, parentage, and education of Mr. Pendarves; but it is his public career with which we have principally to deal, and more especially the political part of that career.
The great movement for a Reform in Parliament, after having been talked of at intervals from the presentation of the celebrated petition by Lord Grey, in 1793, assumed something like a tangible shape in 1811, from which period down to the passing of the Reform Bill it was continually kept before the public and gradually grew in strength until the aristocratic resistance was finally overcome. In the whole of this period of twenty years, we find Mr. Pendarves, at first as Edward William Stackhouse, and subsequently as Edward William Wynne Pendarves, taking an active and prominent part. The impetus which in 1811 was given to the cause of Reform sprang from a meeting of the Friends of Parliamentary Reform, who assembled from all parts of the kingdom at Freemason's Hall, on the 10th of June in that year. It was originally intended to have held this meeting in the Guildhall of the City of London, but the Common Council of that day was not so much in earnest in the cause of Reform as they have since proved, and after having first granted the use of the Hall, they afterwards rescinded the grant, and it was determined to hold the meeting in the Freemanson's Hall instead. Among the names of the gentlemen summoning that meeting, is to be found that of "Edward William Stackhouse, Esq., Cornwall." The immediate result was a series of public meetings in many parts of England, and one in this county; we copy the advertisement calling that meeting; it is dated June 26, 1811.
"Parliamentary Reform. - A meeting of the friends of Parliamentary Reform from all parts of the Empire having been holden in London on the 10th of the present month for the purpose of discussing that most important question, and the committee which met on the 11th instant, having expressed their hopes 'that the gentlemen' who composed the meeting, and who were then retiring to the respective counties, would not lose sight of the great object they have in view - a Parliamentary Reform. - We whose names are herewith subscribed Give Notice, that a meeting of the friends of Parliamentary Reform, in this county, will be held at Bodmin on Monday the 8th day of July next, for the purpose of taking into consideration the resolution voted at the meeting in London.

All dead:- Most of them having lived long enough to see their principles, after all the obloquy heaped upon them, carried into full effect, and some few having lived long enough to desert the principles they had formerly advocated. Over the meeting they summoned, Mr. Pendarves, then Edward William Stackhouse, presided. The resolutions passed at this meeting were long and argumentative, forming as it were, the basis on which the subsequent struggle of Parliamentary Reform was founded. They were in effect reasons for a sound, thorough, and radical reform. The following resolution indeed, objection to some partial measures that had been proposed, sounds rather strangely to us in these days, since the great Whig party, here alluded to, were at length brought into power as Parliamentary reformers. It is the 8th resolution passed at the meeting to which we alluded:- "That our objections to these partial measures thus arising from their natural tendencies are further confirmed by the result of actual experience, and the irrefragable evidence of facts, for we cannot but recollect that they proceeded from that same Whig party whose favourite maxim it has been to govern the country by family interest and party connections; that in pursuance of this policy, although they have frequently diminished the influence of the crown, they have never seriously attempted to increase the interests of the people, that although during the American war they courted the people by some vague and general flatteries, whilst they retrenched the influence of the crown in points connected with its splendour and bounty, yet by the memorable coalition, they avowed their contempt for the opinions of the one, and by their India bill unmasked their dangerous designs upon the independence of the other. We cannot, therefore, but consider the reform which is thus proposed as suspicious and delusive, and especially as the same maxims of government as preceded the never-to-be-forgotten events of that never-to-be-forgotten period are now avowed as the foundations of that reform."
We have inserted this resolution at length, to show that thus early in life of Mr. Pendarves was in advance of the Whig party of that day, and that instead of falling back, he continued in advance of the same party up to the present time. He had lived long enough, indeed, to see the government, by family interests and party connections, broken up; long enough to see the first great advances made by the People, and to see the People educating and fitting themselves for a still greater advance to be made almost by the time the grass shall have grown upon his grave.
Mr. Pendarves was always one of those, who, as a Magistrate, enabled the People of the county to give expression to their opinions in a legal form. By the exertions of Mr. Pendarves and his fellow labourers, a strong public opinion had grown up in Cornwall, when in December, 1824, Sir William LEMON, who had long faithfully represented this county died, and the voice of the public at once fixed on Mr. Pendarves as best suited to succeed him, both from his position and his fortune? as well as from the true honesty of his character and the soundness of his judgment. By what we now conceive to have been an error of judgment the friends of Mr. Pendarves chose to wait for the general election, which was then speedily to take place instead of at once contesting the seat left vacant by the death of Sir William Lemon. In many respects this was unfortunate. The nomination was held on the 19th of January, 1825, and the immediate friends of Mr. Pendarves and himself felt that they were shackled by the pledge that had been thus hastily given. But the yeomanry were determined that he should be proposed, and John Penhallow PETERS, as one of the chief of that class, did propose him; the show of hands was entirely in his favour, for every one that held up their hands for Sir Richard VYVYAN, at least five held up theirs for Mr. Pendarves. It was with the greatest difficulty the yeomanry could be prevented from going to the poll, so determined were they to have the man of their choice. Mr. Pendarves was indeed compelled to issue an address the day after the nomination stating that the pledge that was unfortunately given by himself and some of his friends of deferring the contest until the general election, he could not either in justice to his opponent or in consistency with what he owed to himself, become their representative on the present occasion, and as a man of honor, if elected, he would immediately apply for the "Chiltern Hundreds." But he promised to offer himself as a candidate at the general election, and a canvass was immediately commenced on his behalf, in which he became personally known to every Elector in the county.
The dissolution did not take place so soon as was expected; and Sir Richard Vyvyan sat unmolested until June 1826. On the 3rd of June, 1826, the parliament was dissolved. On the 5th of June the address of Mr. Pendarves was issued. On the 15th of June the nomination was held, when Mr. Pendarves was proposed by Mr. William PETER, and seconded by Mr. William RASHLEIGH of Menabilly. We now have three candidates in the field, Mr. TREMAYNE, Mr. Richard Vyvyan, and Mr. Pendarves. It was against Mr Richard Vyvyan that the opposition of Mr. Pendarves and his friends was directed. They did not wish to disturb the seat of Mr. Tremayne, who was held in the highest respect. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Pendarves and Mr. Tremayne, and a poll was demanded by Sir Richard Vyvyan. Mr. Tremayne did not choose to stand a contest. The disappointment that was felt by Mr. Pendarves and his friends at this result is well known to all those who have any recollection of these times. The joy of the more rabid Tories at the success of their young candidate at the expense of their Old Member is equally vivid in the recollection of all. But in spite of all the remonstrance's of Mr. Pendarves and his friends, Mr. Tremayne persisted in retiring from the contest. And on the 20th of June, 1826, Mr. Pendarves was formally elected at Lostwithiel without further opposition. We revert once more to our own colurans? For a portion of the speech made by Mr. Pendarves on that occasion - " Flattering," he said, "as the whole progress and result of the struggle must have been to my individual feelings, I have a purer gratification in reflecting that it has been on our part a contest not for power, but for independence; that our triumph is not the triumph of party or of persons, but of principles - of those high principles 'to which England owes all her greatness and all her glory.' Happy am I to have been an instrument, however humble, in such a work, and when the day arrives on which I shall have to render you an account of the charge committed to my hands, I trust that there will not be a person amongst you to deny me the justice of saying that I have adhered to my principles, and endeavoured to do my duty."
That day of reckoning is now finally come, and after a lapse of twenty-seven years from the time these words were spoken, all passed in the service of the People, he has gone down to the grave with the proud consciousness that in the changes of the political world, in all the strange mutations that we have seen, these words are as applicable to him now as they were at the time he uttered them; throughout the whole of this long period he did adhere to his principles, he did endeavour to do his duty.
With the exception of the great contest of 1831, when Mr. Pendarves and Sir Charles Lemon were returned by an immense majority, he has continued to sit for the county unopposed. Except for the last few months, when increasing infirmities prevented him, he has been assiduous in his duties; and in the whole of his long career he secured the friendship and respect of his colleagues in parliament, even of those to whom he was most strongly opposed.
We have not left ourselves space to speak of Mr. Pendarves as a Magistrate, nor is it needed; his sound judgment, his knowledge of the duties of the office, and his strict impartiality in the exercise of those duties, are known to all. Still less have we any occasion to speak of him as a Soldier; those who were under his command can best appreciate the qualities which he brought into the field, as was indeed testified by the regret experienced when he lately resigned the commission he had held so many years with honour. As a Man, we may say of him emphatically, that he was a Gentleman - a Gentleman in the highest and fullest sense of the word; full of honourable feeling, winning respect and esteem from all. As a Public Man, Cornwall has met with an irreparable loss. At all times and at all seasons, whenever any thing was proposed for the advantage of the county, Mr. Pendarves was always among the first to lend it a helping hand. And as a Politician we shall seek in vain for one that will give much general satisfaction. It was a proud thing for the Yeomanry of Cornwall to be able to select for their Representative a man of his birth, his property, and his qualifications, who would as fully represent the wants and opinions of the industrious classes of society.
The time was, when the opinions advocated by Mr. Pendarves in his youthful days were looked upon with dread and affright by many, - when the holders of them were stigmatised by every opprobrious term the English language could convey. But these days are passed away, and the mere adherence to those opinions would not now alarm the most timid politicians. But Mr. Pendarves adhered to the principles on which those opinions were founded; and when he had gained one great point was not content to rest there, but was prepared at all times to advance with the growing intelligence of the age. Thus in his later years and with his matured judgment, he was prepared to give an Extension of the Suffrage, and the protection of the Ballot to the elector, as in earlier life he had sought a real Representation of the People instead of a constructive one. He was, in fact, as much in advance of the mere Whig party in 1853 as he was in 1811 when he repudiated the partial reforms they sought to introduce. And it was this capacity to move onwards with the spirit of the times which preserved his popularity and secured the uninterrupted occupation of his seat as the Representative of West Cornwall. He won the confidence of the Cornish People by the Soundness of his Judgement, the Honesty of his Purpose, and the Integrity of his Character; he preserved that confidence by the same means. The whole of his long life was one constant proof that he adhered to his principles, and endeavoured to do his duty.
Mr. Pendarves has passed from among us with the regret and esteem of every true Cornishman, and it will not be in our time that we shall have a more true and sincere a Man of the People, or one who more earnestly wish to promote "the greatest happiness of the greatest number." This regret at his loss is not confined to the county or to his personal friends. On Monday last, when his death was mentioned in the House of Commons, expressions of the deepest regret were uttered both by the Speaker and by many members of the House.

Mr Pendarves was the eldest surviving son of John STACKHOUSE, Esq., by Susanna, only child and heiress of Edward Acton Esq., of Acton Scot, Salop. He was born at Pendarves on the 6th of April, 1776, and assumed the additional surname of Wynne, by sign manual in 1816, and in the same year that of Pendarves instead of Stackhouse; the latter substitution having been made in consequence of his descent from a female branch of the family of Sir William Pendarves of Pendarves.
