| Teitl | Correspondence : Two hard-pressed elderly clerics (one, John Richards, curate of Llannerch-y-medd with 10 children to support, 9 of them at home) would be glad to have their eldest sons off their hands (2078, 2084, 2095). In March, 1823, O.A.Poole of Gorffwysfa dies, leaving a string of important posts to be filled; for one of them - the Registrarship of the Chancery Court of Great Sessions - Evan Williams, Rector of Llangefni, puts in a word on behalf of his brother Thomas, a Bangor solicitor (2082). The same month Edward Parry applies - succesfully - to succeed George Bettis as landlord of the Caernarvon Hotel (20830, 2085-2087, 2091). 2092 is the humble petition of James Williams, a prisoner in Caernarvon jail, sentences to be transported for life for sheep stealing; he prays for the Marquess' intercession with the Crown to have his sentence commuted to one of the 7 years transportation. And from Beaumaris in September 1823 comes another petition praying for his Lordship's bounty on behalf of 16 of its inmates, of whom 11 are committed for debt (2098) |
