"He'll have to ride the hatch'
is a familiar phrase about Looe,
and signifies He'll be brought
to trial.' It is generally used
jocosely in the case of any loud
professor of religion who has
been overtaken in a fault ;' and
the idea is that his trial will be
the ordeal of attempting to ride
or sit on the top or narrow edge
of a hatch or half-door, when if
he maintain his seat he will be
pronounced innocent, if he fall
he is guilty. If he fall inwards
(ie. within the room or build-
ing), he will be pardoned, but
if he fall outwards, he will be
excommunicated." W. Pengelly
(Devonshire Association Report,
