Description by George Eyre Evans:

"The two men [mentioned in this letter] were Francis M'Kiernin, inn-keeper, and George Laing, publican, both of Llanelli, who were apprehended and brought before the Llanelli Bench charged with having taken part in the destruction of the Sandy Turnpike Gate, Llanelli, on 2 August. They were committed to take their trial at the next Assizes, but admitted to bail."

"Carmarthen, 16 Aug., 1843.

My dear Sir,
I am much obliged to you for your letters. I will speak to Col. Love on the subject of furnishing smaller detachments than of 50 men for the purposes you mention, and I will beg him to send such an order as you can see to the Officer in command at Llanelly, if he shall be of opinion it is possible, in accordance with his instructions from the Government, and make any alteration in the way you suggest.

I am glad you have caught those two men.

Believe me, very truly yours
Geo. Rice Trevor."
