Letters To Thomas Gee Relating To A Charge Of Infringement Of Copyright. Nine autograph letters to Thomas Gee charging him with infringement of copyright. The charge is made by William Hughes, Dolgellau, publisher of Y Dydd. Mr Hughes alleged that Mr Gee introduced into Caniadau y Cyssegr a'r Teulu, published in 1878, a number of tunes from a collection called Aberth Moliant which were Mr Hughes's copyright. He claimed to have acquired the copyright from William Rees, 'Gwilym Hiraethog'. He threatened legal proceedings through a solicitor and the matter remained unsolved at the time of the last letter (July 1884). [Old List, March 1936, II; May 1936, No. 8].
