X/POOLE/317

COPY LETTER from Edward Griffith of Caernarfon to Major General Nicholls at Liverpool. Because the Major’s first letter did not reach him there has been some confusion over the question of troops. There has been no disturbance in the neighbourhood since the 7th or 8th of November when 150 quarrymen descended on the town. The authorities stood firm, however, and they withdrew peacably. He is not sure why the troops have now been sent but possibly the Government is aware of some danger which he does not know of. He hesitates to send the troops away before consulting the Lord Lieutenant and others. Thanks the Major General for his assistance. (No. X/POOLE/3).
