TitleAccount book in John Doulben's hand, tabulating arrears as far back as 1731, and indicating some payments so far forward as Midsummer, 1736.
DescriptionSome piquant touches - Ellen Lloyd (widow of Richard Williams) parting with her premises in Llanllechid clandestinely found herself in Caernarvon gaol; a cargo of herrings sent to Lancaster were never paid for, nor was a shoemaker of Bangor named William Thomas very forward in paying the 20/- he owed for herrings "and other fish"; while Mr. Doulben himself was questioned pretty sharply by the owners about the dye-house he held, but was not very explicit about the conditions upon which he did hold it (see fir if last oage). There is a particularly neat and lucid account of the slates produced, and their disposal from 1730to 1735, in the middle pages.
