a town of Cornwall in England, seated in a bottom between two high hills, which renders the air very unwholesome. It consists chiefly of one street, and the many decayed houses show that it has once been a place of greater note. It is a mayor-town, sends two members to parliament, and had formerly the privilege of the coinage of tin. Population 2050 in 1811.
