Newport Chartists Vol.3, p.39

Description

could not hear the noise on the outside - As near as I

can recollect it was about 7 o'Clock when the people left

our House it was a very wet night when they set off

they said they were going down to Newport - there was

no Lodge held on the Sunday night as I do know -

they did go to the Lodge Room - they left at seven o'Clock
that night to go to Newport, a week last Tuesday night
I saw Zephaniah Williams at the Lodge - I saw Jones
there the same night - I know a Man they call Dr.
Price - I never saw him at the Lodge - We were afraid
to say any thing to the Colliers about Chartism I was
never upstairs with them in the Room - I don't know
whether my Husband subscribed - He was going upstairs
to them sometimes - Nobody told me they were going to
Newport to get the Charter - I don't know what their

meaning was - there were 2 regular Lodges held the

week before last, and on the Sunday - they went into the

Room where the Lodge was usually held.
