Disgrifiadau

Disgrifiad gan George Eyre Evans (cyfieithiad):

"Roedd heddlu Llundain, a sonir amdanynt yn y llythyr hwn, yn gorff o fewn Adran A yr Heddlu Metropolitanaidd ac roedd o leiaf deunaw ohonynt. Ychydig ddiwrnodau yn unig yr oedd yr Heddlu wedi bod yn y sir cyn iddynt ddal David Davies, "Dai y Cantwr". Yr oedd ef yn un o arweinwyr Merched Beca ac fe'i ddaliwyd oddeutu hanner nos ar y 29ain o Fedi. Fe'i rhoddwyd yn syth o dan ofal y fyddin yn Wyrcws Llanelli. Y diwrnod canlynol, daliwyd arweinydd arall, John Jones, "Shoni Scuborfawr", yn y Tymbl."

Adysgrif:

"Carmarthen,
22 September, 1843.

My dear Sir,

The printers will send you 100 bills in Welsh and 100 in English. If you want any more, pray send for them as he will keep the press standing for a day or two.

As regards your answer to the people of Llanon, I think you cannot hold out any hopes of any interference on your part. I should think it is a good opportunity to endeavour to impress on those people's minds the folly and wickedness of their acts, but to say that the crime these men had committed was of so serious a nature that it was not possible they should be bailed, or that at all events you did not feel justified in your own mind in making such an application.

I shall hope to hear confirmed the improved account of your neighbourhood Mr Prytherch says he has received from you.

As you have not mentioned in your letter to me of this day that you are prepared with lodgings for the London police, they must be again delayed, nor shall I send them till I know you are ready to receive them.

Their duty will be pointed out to them by the Magistrates and yourself. I have sworn them in as Special Constable for the county to-day, and I consider they may be employed, if necessary, in watching gates, or in patrols, or in keeping the peace generally; and you may make use of them, if you should have occasion, to disperse any meeting, or in arrests.

It will be in you discretion whether they are to carry arms or not, as also whether you support them by Troops, both of which I should recommend in any question of doubt.

Yours very truly,
Geo. Rice Trevor."
