NEWPORT, a borough in the parish of ST-STEPHENS, northern division of EAST hundred, county of CORNWALL, adjoining to the tow'n of Launceston, and 214 miles (W. S.W.} from London. The population is returned with the parish. This place is separated from Launceston only by a small rivulet, and it appears to have been joined with it in the parliamentary representation, under the name of Dunheved. Two representatives have been separately returned from it since the time of Edward VI: the right of election is in the burgageholders, and inhabitants paying scot and lot: the number of voters is about sixty; and two viandcrs, appointed at the court leet held for the manor, are the returning officers; the influence of the Duke of Northumberland is predominant.
