William Nicolas to Mistress Johnes at Clenennau,

He was at the parish church of Ffestiniog on the previous Sunday in the place that belongs to his master, Sir Robert Owen, and one Hugh Lloyd of Plas Mini put him out. Lloyd told the writer that it was his place. Of this he gives her notice, so that she may do her will in that business.

Peter Ellice to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington,

Is not certain what Owen wants to know. Supposes it is whether Cadwaladr Wynne has legally passed to Rees Wynne the estate for life which his father left him. If Cadwaladr Wynne delivered possession of the tenement upon the deed poll it will amount to an assignment of his estate for life; if not, he takes it that Cadwaladr cannot avoid his own act, but if he has sold it for a valuable consideration to any other bona fide without any notice of the former grant, he is of an opinion that the former grant will not be good. He will wait on Owen when he returns from the Assizes. PS If Rees Wynne is to have the reversion, then the grant is good, for it will amount to surrender of his estate for life.

(Sir) R(obert) O(wen), at Pengwern, to Margaret Wynne at Glyn,

Struggling with the pangs of absence, but comforted by her promise that he might sometime enjoy her, he left home to see some of her good friends, thereby to enjoy her conversation by proxy, for he would have her observe that all his thoughts, words and actions end in her ... There never was more or stronger working against him than now by those who are afraid of his growing great. But he scorns what mankind can do and relies on her truth and honour ... Asks for leave to repeat his vows on paper to his utter infamy or credit in requital of her promise to him, which he solemnly vows no soul living knows of. He will never marry any one but Margaret Wynne, and seeing that they are both resolved as to the thing, why should they disagree on the time? If they propose happiness, as they certainly do, the sooner the better, or else better never. Is sure they will be happy ... Begs for a kind letter, for she knows that he is ruled by 'my dearest and only dear'; and by the love which he bears her and which she ought to bear him, begs her to hasten his joy and her own quiet. It is already decreed - as he can prove - by her mother or rather by her friends and 'our' base enemies that this treaty will come to nothing. He is willing to quit the world for her, otherwise may he never he prosperous in it ... Let not her letter be according to the obsolete rules of custom but the dictates of her own genuine good nature ... and her compassion for a constant lover ... PS Wishes to know whether he is to come before or after Sunday - longer he cannot stay.

The Duke of Beaufort, at Badminton, to (the Deputy-Lieutenants of the County of Merioneth). (copy),

Imparts to them the contents of a letter received from Mr Secretary Jenkins by the King's command and dated 11th July. The writer had been formerly informed that there were grounds to believe that the intended assassination of the King was to be followed by insurrections in several parts of the kingdom. He is now informed that there is convincing evidence to prove that a general insurrection was intended in England and Scotland. It is not proposed to put the country to charge and trouble by calling out the militia. But he has been asked to take care that all officers are in readiness, and to have all dangerous persons disarmed. It is left to the writer's discretion and to that of the deputy-lieutenants what persons may be reputed dangerous. An inventory of all arms seized and the names of the persons in whose house or custody they are taken, to be sent forthwith to the writer for transmission to one of the principal secretaries of state so that the King may give further direction how to dispose of them.

J(ohn) Rowlands, at London, to (Sir Robert Owen),

He has sent some snuff to Owen by this post. The Lord President sets out from Ludlow about the 20th August, first to Pool, to Chirk, Llewenny, Moystin, Conwy, Beaumaris, and back to Bala and by way of Machynlleth to Cardiganshire. A horrid plot has been discovered by one West of Gray's Inn to kill the King on his way home from Newmarket. Lord Russell has been sent to the Tower. Col. Algernon Sydney, Major Wildman and three or four others who are in the proclamation are being held. There is an order of the lieutenancy to inquire what arms the Whig party have, and the guard strengthened. The rioters were fined today - some 2,000 marks and some 1,000. PS The recipient's friend, ?Dr Wynne, has gone to Denmark.

Jo(hn) Gadbury to Sir Robert Owen at Clenennau,

In his last he told Owen that the King was King of London and that the judges had given judgement against the charter for him. Now the Lord Mayor, etc., apprehending their danger, on Monday last went to Windsor and petitioned the King for his grace and favour, and submitted to his royal pleasure. The King through the Lord Keeper told them that his resolutions were to approve of all lord mayors, sheriffs, recorders and other officers of Southwark for the future, and that they should return to the city to consider this and signify their compliance, otherwise the Attorney-General had orders to enter up judgment against them on Saturday next. It is believed that they will comply in all things. But now upon this happy news here is another plot discovered of four score Presbyterian villains in confederacy to kill the King and Duke of York. Some of them are in custody, but Mr Goodenough, the late fanatic under-sheriff who packed all the ignoramus juries, one of the confederacy, has run away. The Council has sat upon it close and long this day, but their resolutions being not yet known, the writer can send Owen no account thereof. Lord Chief Justice Saunders died yesterday morning. PS The Duke of York dined with the Earl of Peterborough at his house on Millbank yesterday.

O(wen) Wynn(e), at Whitehall, to Sir Robert Owen at Clenennau,

Judgment has been given today in the Kings Bench on the Quo Warranto proceedings relating to the charter of the city of London. It was pronounced by Mr Justice Jones - the Lord Chief justice being indisposed - with great gravity, learning and applause. He enlarged on the following points: corporations may forfeit franchises for unwarrantable acts, since their liberties are held of the King on a trust and condition of governing themselves well; the assumption of power by the city of London to levy money on the King's subjects was a breach of that trust and therefore good cause for forfeiture; the printing of that seditious petition was also a breach of the condition and a cause of forfeiture, since it vilified and exposed the King in the eyes of his subjects; ... they were all of the same opinion - and so was the Lord Chief Justice whom they had attended - and their unanimous judgment was that the franchises are forfeited and therefore are to be seized into the King's hands. The writer would be glad to find that Owen is near finishing his affairs there and coming up to ... torn ...us to push down the Whigs who are ... torn ... plotting as it were at last gasp.

Richard Jeffreys, at Badminton, to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington,

His Lordship's Grace (the Lord President) continues in his resolve to visit all the counties of Wales, and will begin his journey about the middle of August next. The writer had told his Lordship of Owen's desire for timely notice, and this morning the writer was ordered to write to this effect. Hopes that Owen has received his commissions from Mr Rowlands long ere this and that Rowlands has been ordered to pay the fees. The writer will call on Rowlands for the fees at the beginning of next term.

Jo(hn) Gadbury to (Sir Robert Owen),

Since his last, the rioters on Midsummer Day last at the Guildhall in London - fourteen of them - are found guilty, and it is thought that their fines will be agreeable to the greatness of the riot. Sir Patience Ward - being indicted of perjury and now to be tried within a day or two - has run away to avoid the punishment of a perjurer. About four score arms - viz carbines, muskets, and pistols, etc., - have been discovered in a garret in Lord Grey's house, made up in bed mats: his Lordship is to answer it on Thursday next before the King and Council at Hampton Court. His Lordship is one of the rioters against whom a bill is found. Prince George of Denmark is expected in England shortly to marry Princess Anne, and it is said that Clarendon House is to be bought for him to live in. It is also rumoured that he will be made Duke of Gloucester and Lord High Admiral of England. The judgment on the City charter will be given on the first Tuesday next term, at which time Owen will hear, the writer conceives, of a custos put over the great City of London. The Whigs lose ground, and grow daily into more and more disesteem. He drank to Owen's health lately with Captain Cook who sends his humble service.

John Gadbury to Sir Robert Owen at Clenennau,

Received Owen's letter of April 30th on May 7th. He is sorry to send word that Owen's rejoicing at the Hans en Keldare [an unborn child] must receive its period, the Duchess having unfortunately this last week miscarried, but yet - blessed be God - is pretty well, and young enough to bring many a brave boy to town, and he hopes that some of the royal babes will live long also. But to exalt you again, it is certain news that Lady Anne is contracted to the King of Denmark's brother and that the marriage is speedily to be concluded, so that there are more hopes of lengthening the royal line. The City charter has been most learnedly argued by the Attorney-General for the King, by Mr Pollexfen for the City. The former has proved it forfeitable and forfeited; the latter endeavoured to prove it jure divino and unforfeitable unless every man in the city were a criminal. To whom the Lord Chief justice replied that if a charter were unforfeitable then every corporation was a kingdom of itself, and wholly independent of the crown of England, and unaccountable to the Kings thereof, who first gave them their privileges. Judgment alone is wanting, which all loyal and prudent men believe will pass for the King at the latter end of term. As to Owen's present affair, hopes his good stars may prosper it, his year in general seeming very kind and successful to him. PS The Duke of Ormonde has obtained a verdict against Hetherington of £10,000 damage for bringing him into the plot. Supposes that Lord Peterborough will shortly begin with Mansel and Dangerfield.

The Duke of Beaufort, at Chelsea, to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington,

Has received Owen's letter and the enclosed from the deputy-lieutenants of the upper part of Merionethshire, and he approves of what Owen has done to Mr Jenkin Vaughan. Thanks Owen for his zeal in the King's service, and his particular concern for the writer and the writer's interest in those parts.

William Wynne, at Wern, to his 'sister' Elizabeth Wynne, widow, at Glyn,

The writer's tenant has been served with a declaration of ejectment for the lands of Lecheiddior by the directions of Mr Griffith who it seems pretends title thereto. She knows that the writer's brother, her late husband, warranted them to him, and therefore she and the writer's niece now become liable under the covenants then made. He encloses the declaration so that she can take care to defend the title, for he will be at no charge therein.

William Whitmore to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington,

Encloses a letter from Mr George Gatacre, and adds that he agrees with Gatacre's opinion relating to those tenants who have 'a life in being' from their first grants. He asks Owen to peruse the award which Gatacre, he thinks, has very well drawn up, and to make what abatements he thinks convenient for those tenants, and they shall be complied with. The writer will himself be in London next term.

Charles Murray, at Dublin, to the Earl of Dunbarton,

After Dunbarton had sent Lieut McAdam to Ireland to be placed in Major Arnott's company, the gentleman that Lieut Floyd resigned to came and will be placed in that company or have his money back from Floyd. By some mistake the commission was drawn to be lieutenant in that company, and the gentleman says that his brother made the bargain with Floyd to be lieutenant to Major Arnott and not to Capt. Orchard.

George Clarke to Sir Robert Owen,

Could not call on Owen in the course of the four days before his journey to Oxford. Therefore writes to ask for a copy of Haynes's letter to the King. PS A reply should be sent to All Souls'. If Owen sees Watt Jones, he is to tell him that Barbour of Christ Church is dying.

The Marquis of Worcester, at Badminton, to -----,

Recommends that the grant be made to Sir Robert Owen. The writer does not know of Mr Manley that is concerned, but supposes since the grant was only to him during pleasure, it was not upon such a valuable consideration but that the King may without injustice revoke it. If so, the writer knows of no man who has more just pretence to it, both on account of the merits of his family and his own than Sir Robert, nor no man that is likelier to make use of what interest he has for the King's service ... He is very loyal, of good principles, has courage and resolution ... of which he has already given good proofs. The writer could not in justice to Owen say less than this.

Edward Owen, at Woodhouse, to (Sir Robert Owen),

'The whole matter is now soe neare a period that Thursday next thrusts me out of the number of the purest virgins. When I next see you I shall be able impartially to tell you whether you are in the right way or whether tis worth your while to make any new experiments. In the meane time my Father and I are mightily to beg your pardon for the freedome we are about to use in your parke, and the wicked designe and bloody intentions we have against an innocent fat buck of yours. I could heartily wish my selfe one evening before the fatall day with you and Sidney Godolphin. Some choice instructions from experienced men might save me many a lusty lad. This foolish beastly talk calls to mind ...' They hope to see Owen soon, but if he does not come in less than a month the writer will be in London.

Wm ?Parr, at Ruthin, to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington,

It was on a Sunday in the afternoon that his colonel, Owen's deceased uncle, gave the writer a grant of a croft that lies adjacent to the writer's barn against the will of the Colonel's lady who was for Gabrell Edwards to continue tenant thereof, who held other crofts from the Colonel, which the Colonel declared was in respect of the writer's fidelity and good service. He said so in his parlour before Mr John Hanmer, Mr John Kynaston, Mr Richard Wynne, Mr Edward Evans, Mr James Blodwell, Mr Thomas Hanmer and Thomas Davies of Selattyn. When the writer required a lease in writing, the Colonel said 'Thou dost not mistrust mee and I am sure thou wilt not mistrust Will Owen, youre ffather meaninge'. The grant was for life, and the Colonel added that after the writer's death, it would yield him and his 40s. 'which I lett you have for 5 nobles dureinge life'. The writer has since allowed his brother-in-law to enjoy the same, and the writer has also since the grant been instrumental in saving Owen's renowned grandfather much money and trouble as Owen's Aunt Anwyl and Morris Griffith, then his servant, can inform him. Asks to be allowed to enjoy the croft according to the Colonel's intent. He will not contend with Owen, but supposes that some of the witnesses may still be living. PS Thinks that Mrs Carew may be able to remember the same.
