Alt Ref NoLLIG/15-21
TitleThree letters from Mr Hugh Jones, agent of Penrhos to [the third] Lord Boston
DescriptionThe perennial difficulty about quillets, this time in Llanddyfnan parish, area 1 acre 15 perches, H.J. ordering L.B.'s tenant to show effective possession by cutting the rushes growing there and carrying them away; reference made to the Inclosure Act of 1815 and correspondence with the surveyor under that Act (who was lucky enough to be alive in 1845 to support H.J.'s contention). The agent is glad to hear of the large sum voted by Parliament of the development of the harbour at Holyhead (17),and warns his Lordship that applications are about to come from the Anglesey magistrates for land to build a new lock-up at Brynsiencyn, in view of the access of an uproarious element with the building of the Chester and Holyhead Railway.

Addendum. At a later stage documents LLIG/18-21 have come to light, 18 being the letter from the Surveyor of Whittington, Shropshire to Hugh Jones - dated 29 July, 1845. 21 seems to prove that a settlement of this quillet trouble was eventually arrived at.
