| Description | p.p. 1-30 First comes the inordinately long, involved will of Bishop Henry Rowlands of Bangor
p.p. 35-44 AMeyrick document of 1754-5 on which appear the names of John P. and his father William Prichard
p.p.45-52 A copy of the will of Colonel William Jones of Llanedwen (August 1768), the codicil (September 1768), and certain difficulties arising in their interpretation
p.p. 53-63 The will of Serjeamt Lewis Owen of Twickenham in 1623, with its many benefactions
p.p.79-86 The complicated will of Gwen Bodfel (1759) of Bodfan in Llandwrog, upon whom had devolved most of the possessions of Owen Hughes "Yr Arian Mawr,"
A copy of the will of Dr. William Lewis of All Hallows (1681), whose munificent bequests meant so much in succeeding generations to eligible young men going up to Jesus College in Oxford.
p.p. 101-102 a beginning was made with copying out the ancient document defining the bounds of the commote of Menai but the pen was put down after the first word describing the Tre-Ddinam township (see full copy DIN/200).
p.p. 105-108 A decree of the Visitor of the College (the Earl of Pembroke), dated 15 June 1736, and later sanctioned by the Court of Chancery, reflecting pretty seriously that the authorities of that College did not observe the spirit (or the letter) of these bequests with sufficient circumspection - the regulations were clarified and the Fellowships re-organised on more equitable lines (there was also a rebuke to Principal Pardo and the Fellows that the College register could be more "regularly" kept). |
