 ADMINISTRATION AND DIVISIONS 139 names were given to the local bodies. In the large urban parishes the chief authorities are now entitled District Councils, while the smaller parishes have their Parish Councils or only Parish Meetings. The county is in the western circuit; the assize and quarter sessions, which were formerly held at Launceston, a most inconvenient place for the purpose, being at the extreme limit of the county, are now held at Bodmin. In Cornwall there are 223 civil parishes and the municipal boroughs are eleven, Bodmin, Falmouth, Hel- ston, Launceston, Liskeard, Lostwithiel, Penryn, Penzance, Saltash, St Ives, and Truro. The civil parishes and those that are ecclesiastical are not always conterminous. Of the latter there are 236. There are two Archdeaconries, Cornwall and Bodmin, and twelve deaneries, St Austell, Carnmarth, Kerrier, Penwith, Powder, and Pydar in the Archdeaconry of Cornwall, and Bodmin, East, Stratton, Trigg Major and Minor, and West in that of Bodmin. There is a Bishop at Truro and a suffragan who takes his title from St Germans.
