Letter from John Owens from Newtown, to Viscount Clive, MP, at 37 Brook Street, London,
- MB1/31.
- Ffeil
- 1839, April 26.
The Chartists have commenced drilling practices, though without arms, at Newtown. There is a possibility that, trade being indifferent and provisions high, these people may be driven to violence. They receive letters from one Charles Jones of Welsh Pool, whom they call their delegate and who is now in London. The mischief makers are mostly residents of Llanidloes, whose imprisonment would mean the end of the movement in Newtown.
