File Clenennau letters and papers 729. - W. Spicer to Sir John Owen at Clenennau,

Is sorry to hear of Owen's indisposition. Understands that there is a vessel put ashore by distress of weather near Criccieth. The men are saved and the goods may be saved unless the country be too unruly. If that be so and if the country people be too hard for his cousin, Morris Griffith, the writer will upon notice given come and visit their store. Mr Roberts, the Registrar, is very careless in his office. Many things have been found for the Admiralty, yet not one estreat or warrant has been issued to collect the same to the great disservice of the court. Yet he can take all the fees due to the writer as Marshal. Begs Owen to see that these matters are speedily regulated, or there is no purpose in keeping court.
