Hampshire Chronicle 23 July 1827.
As two brothers, named Pascoe, the one aged 23, and the other 21 years, were dragging the river near Wadebridge, a few days since, with a net for fish, not being well acquainted with the place, they fell into an excavation in the bed of the stream, which is 12ft in depth, and before assistance could be afforded them they drowned.
