Scope and content
Has received intelligence of the design of the enemy to surprise the town of Conwy or Caernarvon by shipping under pretence of the King's colours. The design is plotted and promoted by one Corbett, a flaxen-haired young man who is said to have a counterfeit commission under the supposed hand of Prince Rupert. Their plot is represented to be intended by shipping from Liverpool where they intend to ship some numbers of men and with them to sail with the King's colours into one of the North Wales harbours upon pretence of coming from Ireland to serve His Majesty. Holds it fit to give Owen some account thereof that such vigilance may be used as becomes His Majesty's service. The enclosed to Mr Edwards makes a more ample discovery of the business, wherewith the writer desires Owen to acquaint Sir John Mennes.
