to go on to Newport in three parties the pikes first
Guns next and the others with what weapons they
could muster - I made my escape and went home

I know George Shell of Pontypool Cabinet maker
he worked for Mr. Platner a Cabinet maker at
Pontypool - He was a secretary to a Chartist Lodge
I have seen him at the Lodge - I have seen him

also seen him making out an account of his
work - I know his handwriting - I have seen

own mind - I have heard that George Shell went
with the mob to Newport and was killed at the
Westgate and that his body was one of the nine
dead bodies at the Westgate -
