My Dear Sir,

I understand that Solomon

Britton had been delivered into custody on a
charge of yours for a Riot and conspiracy, I

shall be glad if you will me know

what you wish to have done with him, whether

it is upon the charge on the 4th November

or since - if it is for the Riot on the 4th

November I think I shall be able to get

Evidence sufficient to commit him here

and will hear the case at the police

office here on Monday or at Caerleon

Page 2:
Petty Sessions on Tuesday, but please let me

know for return what you wish to have done and if

you cannot attend I will do the needful - if

his conduct as been such as to require him to be

prosecuted since he has been discharged, dont you

think he had better do so at Sessions

Yours truly

Edmd H Edwards
