TitleLetter from Mr D.Davies at Llandinorwig to (Mr.Assheton-Smith).
DescriptionCiting that 3 workmen from the Penrhyn Quarry were sent over last monday with £8, which he believes to be a bribe to hold out on that particular day when the unionists were aware that their cause would be in trouble. 3 men remained in the Vaynol Arms until the result of the interview might be carried home. The landlord of the public house, Mr. Ebenezer John Owen, who is a non-unionist, provided this information. Says he encloses a copy of a letter drafted for the North Wales Chronicle. The townspeople have no further sympathy for the quarrymen following their refusal to accept the terms offered.
