X/POOLE/307

COPY LETTER: O. Nichols of Liverpool to the Mayor of Caernarfon. As serious disturbances are feared in Caernarfon he has ordered a troop of dragoons to proceed to Caernarfon and Bangor. He would have sent more but he felt such numbers of horses and men might be a burden. Further troops are available if needed. With a covering letter (1807, 7 Feb.). Col. Nichols to Edward Griffith of Caernarfon, discussing the miscarriage of his previous letter to the mayor and corporation. He is pleased to hear that matters are quiet in Caernarfon. He may send back some of the troops to Chester if things remain quiet. The troops were dispatched because some magistrates informed the Government of their fears of a serious disturbance. If there is any appearance of real danger they should apply to him immediately rather than contact him via London. (No. X/POOLE/15).
