File Clenennau letters and papers 839 [RESTRICTED ACCESS] - J. Humphreys to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington,

The fine is recorded. There was great noise at the beginning of the Great Sessions of a writ of partition which caused the writer to stay there to watch the same until yesterday morning. Told Mr Pierce Pennant that he did not well to neglect the advice of his counsel ... and that Owen was by knowing men in law and equity much blamed for his generous offer at Wrexham. Thomas David's account is in such order that there must be at least two or three days in settling the sum; and to that purpose care must be taken to divide it into several columns of what was particularly paid to Owen's mother-in-law and Mrs Pennant since the death of Mr Owen Wynne, payment of servants' wages, for the use of the house, and the burial of Mr O(wen) W(ynne) and his wife. Let there be mentioned in the account to what use Lady Owen took money from Thomas David, for the writer found in the book £80 delivered to her, which money he supposes was to be sent to Chester to pay for things had at Chester for the funeral. Returns £8 of Owen's money.
