Ffeil 5914. - [? T. John Phillips], Newport, to [Powles and Tyler, Monmouth],

He finds that 9 of the persons admitted in 1829 and the preceeding years were in point of fact the sons of freemen or had married the daughters of freemen, though at the court at which they were made, they did not claim to be admitted under those titles. Mr Williams, one of the aldermen, will prove that he was at the court in 1829 when 6 of the 9 were admitted as having any right to claim admission, but like all the rest who were admitted on that day were chosen by the mayor and aldermen composing the court.
