TitleCaernarvon Borough
DescriptionThe poll books for one borough election have also been preserved, that of 1722. Hugh Ellis seems to have acted in the interest of Lord Uxbridge in the boroughs, and the canvassing letters and the accounts and papers dealing with the creation of burgesses, all covering the later years of 18th century, reflect his efforts.
With the exceoption of a list of Pwllheli burgesses from 1781 to 1831, the remainder of the group deals with the notable eve-of-reform election of 1831, and that of 1835. The strenuous contest of 1831 is well represented by placard, addresses, election songs and committee lists, and that of 1835 contains evidence of the activities of Dr O.O. Roberts
