| Description | Bethesda: Hugh H. Jones, Coetmor Mount, went shopping in the High Street at 8pm on Saturday night and entered premises from the back so as not to be seen by the people outside. On leaving he was attcked and kicked by a large crowd which followed him to the Cafê (gwaelod Allt Caffi). He took refuge in the house of William Roberts, Quarry View, where Constable Pugh was lodging. He was subsequently escorted home.
