John Owen to Sir Robert (Owen),

Owen no doubt has had the ill news of the King being sick of which he died on Friday the 6th at about 11a.m. Between 3 and 4 pm the Duke of York was proclaimed at Whitehall, Temple Bar, Cheapside and the Tower. The guns were fired and the royal standard put up. Yachts and men-of-war were ordered to cruise along all the coast of England to prevent any ships whatsoever from going or coming in for a period of forty days. The King has ordered that all men holding offices of government shall continue therein until further direction. PS In the hand of Richard Middelton: Came home on purpose to write to Owen, but Jack Owen has prevented him. The city continues very quiet. The King was a little feverish with sitting up and was let blood this evening 'but I left him just now extream well'. The posts were stopped, otherwise Owen would have heard sooner.

O(wen) Wynne, at Whitehall, to Sir R(obert) Owen,

Wishing happiness of this and many, many more New Years. No one here moves about Harlech. Wishes Owen would write briskly to the Duke of Beaufort about it, stating his case and the qualities of him that has it. The writer cannot see what can be done since he has it for life. His Grace would be the best able to bring it about as well as most willing. Urges him to write to Sir Phillip or anybody else besides. Sends Owen a piece of Scotch truth which was squeezed out after some six or seven days' torture, which shows that the plot is deep and wide as Walcot said, and not so narrow and shallow as Lord Russell's speech-maker would have the world believe. One Bayly, called Jervais Wood in this paper, was hanged and quartered on Christmas Eve - for holidays are out of fashion in that country - and some more will be speedily dispatched.

S(idney) Godolphin to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington,

Last night the writer was in the company of Sir John Trevor, Sir Phillip Lloyd, Mr Vaughan and Mr Mytton, when Owen's health was drunk and his name mentioned with great respect and affection. Sir John Trevor, knowing the esteem each individual in the company had for Owen, told them that the best advice in town had been taken on behalf of Owen's sister-in-law, Mrs Wynne. Feels obliged to give him intimation thereof so that he can act accordingly. Offers to secure legal help. Thinks it would not be amiss to get their worthy friend, Dr Edwards, to state the case. Is heartily glad to hear that Lady Owen is with child, and hopes God will make them in due time joyful parents. This town is grown as bad for murders as Paris formerly was: hardly a night but somebody is killed. The end of the town escapes pretty well. The scenes of blood are about the Temple, Fleet Street, Fetter Lane, etc. Mr Montgomery is found guilty of murder: so is Mr St Johns, Col. Webb and others: Mr Porter was found guilty of manslaughter only, but appeal is brought against him. It is said that the French King intends to make the Dauphin King of Navarre and to make him keep a court remote from him.

Jo. Edwards to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington,

Fully intended kissing Owen's hand but has been unexpectedly detained from that happiness. Sends the bearer to learn how Owen and his lady are after their journey and long absence from Porkington where he hopes they are now resolved to fix. If Owen has ended matters amicably with the other lady, his sister-in-law, it is well, though it be to his loss, for he must value peace and quietness. But if things stand undecided between them, Owen may comfort himself with the assurance that equity will give the articles made on the marriage of his father-in-law mutual effect.

Edward Chambres to -----,

Certain writings in the writer's custody relating to a messuage in Rhelofnyd, where one Thomas Roberts formerly lived, were delivered to the writer by one Thomas Williams. The particulars concern a three-lives lease to Roberts and his wife, and then to one John Thomas, from Mr Robert Mostyn of Nant. Reasons why the lease is not a good one and why Mr Robert Mostyn's heir at law may recover the property. An assignment of the lease has been made by Roberts to one Wynne and others. There was an ejectment brought by his correspondent's mother-in-law against the tenant to evict him of the possession, and it was ready for trial and the records brought down for a Shropshire trial, but the matter was referred. But there remains to the writer for his disbursements in that cause the sum of £3. Asks for directions where he may inquire for payment.

  • Fonds
  • 1938-2007

Born in Llanrwst, where his father was a solicitor, he read Law at Jesus College, Oxford. After the war, where he served in the RAF and spent four years as a prisoner of war, he continued with his studies and became a barrister, and was called to the Bar at the Middle Temple in 1947; took Silk in 1965. He was elected as the Member of Parliament for Conway between 1951 and 1966 and for Hendon South between 1970 and 1987. After retiring from the House of Commons at the 1987 General Election, The Right Honourable Peter John Mitchell Thomas, QC, was created Baron Thomas of Gwydir, of Llanrwst in the County of Gwynedd.

Thomas, Peter, 1920-

O(wen) Wynne, at Whitehall, to Sir Robert Owen, one of the Deputy Lieutenants for the County of Salop, at Porkington ...,

Among the good accounts given him by Mr Evans, what pleased him most was to learn of that happiness Owen enjoyed in a quiet life and an excellent lady. Sends his service to Mr Rowlands and his lady until he hears that they are settled at Nant. (Evans) tells him that Judge Manley was buried as he came through Salop: the writer would not have grieved had it been his son for he has that paper about Harlech ready. Owen should write to the Chief Justice - the Duke of Beaufort not being in town - to move for him again, for the son must come into a large estate by hit father's death. As for news, they trouble their heads with nothing except the success at Buda and Caminieck, and there cannot be more Te Deums for the taking of them than there are 'prechments' here among 'our Tecklit Protestants' against it. They are told from Scotland that not only has Spence, the Earl of Argyle's secretary, deciphered all his lord's letters - which very much confirm the Whig plot, - but also one Castairs there has confessed all he knew which is considerable though it is yet private. Mr Bagnall's lady being dead and buried in Westminster, he is going to France. The Duke of Monmouth is in Brussels where he 'divertizeth' himself with Lady Hen(rietta) Wentworth; and some say an army which is yet but imaginary will be found out for his Grace against spring to command against the Turk. The Pr(ince) of Orange may lend him some detached troops which are now being re-formed in Holland, but funds for their payment will not be so easily found out, nor shall he with the good liking of some here fight for a popish Caesar against a true Protestant 'Teckeley'. The court is to be in town next Thursday on its way to Newmarket. The writer wishes Owen could be on Blackheath on October 1st, where some regiments are to be drawn up and to encamp. The King, Duke and Prince are to be there. One says it is to regulate the precedence of some regiments - that of Lord Dunbarton pretending to it before the Duke's: others think it is to declare Prince George generalissimo. PS Mr Evans speaks of a Quo Warranto against Oswestry: previous to that, breaches of the charter must be set down and sent up so that the Attorney-General may judge of them whether they will hold water. If Owen can assign such by the help of some lawyer there, asks that they be sent up soon.

John Wynne, at Watstay, to Elizabeth Wynne at Downing near Whitford,

Has received her letter of the 20th and eighteen couples of rabbits. He would have sent money to pay for them, but the bearer could not tell him what he should pay. He heartily thanks her for being able to help him with them on this extraordinary occasion. Thinks she has been worthy and generous in her offers on another matter, and he gathers that Sir Robert will comply with her in doing of reasonable things.

E. K(ynaston) to Sir Robert Owen,

Has heard from Mr Cleyton that Mr Simon Lloyd together with Mr Sydney Bunner and Evan Vaughan have engaged to meet in July next at Shrewsbury. On which score 'our countrymen' have put off their meeting at the Raven in Whitsun week ... To make matters plainer the writer will meet Owen at Royton on Wednesday. The writer is 'stark nought' at writing and has much to say to Owen about the 'park' ... as well as the cock match.

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.

From Weale, Robert,

An adult school has been proposed at Bedford workhouse instead of bone-crushing; the clerk of Peterboro' Union is stupid but strongly supported.
