some kind of Arms for such a time, Guns
or anything or some kind of Arms to
defend themselves - I asked him what
good it was for us to go down to Newport
he said to them, ourselves, and that people

coming down - He did say as much
as this about the Soldiers, as he did
think there would be no mis-chief
done, as he did think the Soldiers would
every one give up their Arms, I did then
get in a very bad passion, and I did
say I would not go with them a yard
as I would sooner be killed at Home
than going - I then went out of the Room

I did not hear him say anything about
the Charter - I have been at the Meetings

me my Name- I then saw him write
something on the little Copy Book, I cant
say what it was - I was at a little
distance from him - I dont know that
there was any Chairman, if there was
I dont know who he was - I remember

seeing the Prisoner on the Road that
night about 10 o'clock, it was about
300 yards from my House, he passed me
his back was towards Newport then
he was coming from Blyn to Maes-y-
Cwmmur, I said to him, well boy

off he went - I was thinking he was

coming from Newport - I hear as they
were all a going to Newport somewhere,

me along the Road - I turned towards
my House- I have not see him since
until this morning
