It is rumoured that some of the Llanidloes rioters are on their way to Shrewsbury. Their number includes one of the escaped prisoners. Should he appear in the town, he will be immediately imprisoned.

Part of Powis Castle Estate Records,
Has received a letter from Newtown relating to the Llanidloes riot. The writer is of the highest respectability and strictest veracity, but he is pledged to withhold his name. As his Lordship's cavalry have been ordered to advance towards Llanidloes, he feels it his duty to quote the following extracts, - 'Depend upon it no man will be taken at Llanidloes without bloodshed. I know the disposition of these men; they will fight to the last drop of blood, and the women are worse than the men. Neither your Cavalry nor ours can do any good, unless aided by regulars. They have guns and pistols, ammunitíon and pikes'.
