| Description | This question was submitted for counsel's opinion in 1832, on the ground that Beaumaris was frequented in summer by people of wealth and consequence, and that it was the duty of the inhabitants to increase the attractions of the place. Some held it was part and parcel of the Baron Hill estate, others that it was a common in the parish of Llanfaes, and the property of the freeholders there, others that it was the property of the Corporation of Beaumaris and comprehended in the Charter, while a fourth opinion held it was a common belonging to the inhabitants of the town. Evidence was submitted by an array of ancient inhabitants, and a long letter was produced from Rowland Williams, agent to the Baron Hill estate from 1789-1826. Counsel gave it as his opinion that that part of the Green in the parish of Beaumaris [or Llandegfan] belonged to the Corporation, that the Llanfaes appotionment could not be claimed by Sir Richard, and still less by the freeholders; he thought the most useful expedient would be to apply to the Crown for a lease upon the Llanfaes part of the Green to the pricipal parties interested in its proper development, like Sir Richard, Major Hampton, and Mr T.
