| Description | Writes to know how Owen does after his journey and how he got home. Is very sensible of the kind act of friendship Owen showed. Was sorry that he was forced to leave Owen so abruptly when he was at Baron Hill. Before he could get down to the Town Hall it was filled with the Newborough mob who demanded a poll for Sir A. Owen; which being refused them, Mr. Meyrick, Mr Bodvell, Hugh Griffith, William Wynn & c. sent for Tom Jones the tailor, who being a capital burgess, demanded his poll for Sir Arthur, which was taken, and on cutting up the book there were sixteen for the writer's brother, Bertie, and only the tailor for Sir Arthur. All the talk here is of repealing Acts of Parliament and having Newborough to be the shire town, "The laws they propose to make are more to answer their Ambition & Mallice, than any consideration they have of the Peace and Quiet of ye Country". |
