CHARTISTS AT LLANIDLOES.
The Shrewsbury Chronicle of Friday, after noticing the
arrival of the London and local officers at Llanidloes, thus
continues:—Between eight and nine o'clock they appre-
hended two of the parties against whom warrants were
out, and who demanded the cause of their arrest. They were
conveyed to the Trewythen Arms Inn ' - but no sooner
had they been secured in the house than the tocsin of gene-
ral alarm was given, and the hotel was in a few moments sur-
rounded by hundreds uttering the most awful threats. The
release of the men was imperatively demanded, the doors
broken, and a general volley of stones and other missiles
hurled at the windows. The mob, finning themseltes
masters of the house, proceeded to hunt out the police-
men; Blink horn was found, dragged from under a bed,
his pistols and staff wrested from him, and presented at his
bead. His life was spared, but he was savagely abused,
and threatened with ultimate destruction unless he left the
country. They then proceeded to the cellars, carried the
wine into the streets, and stosre in the ends of the ale bar-
rels. The destruction of property at the Trewythen Arms
is great ; and the infuriated populace, not satisfied with
obtaining thefr men, tore the bed hangings and window-
curtains into shreds, cut the bedsteads, and injured the
staircase with their pikes. This hotel was formerly the
residence of John Hunter, Esq., and the finishing of the
house is superior to that of any hotel in this country.
The family of Mrs. Bvans, the landlady, escaped
without personal injury, although most rudely
treated by some of these ruffians. The Welchpool police-
man was very badly hurt, and reached Newtown about two
o'clock, with one of the London police, who was also in-
jured;: and they proceeded to Welchpool in the evening.
Two of the London police, and an assistant from New-
town, were secreted, and escaped without material in.
jury. The men from London, employed on this occasion,
are those who secured the Todmorden rioters and the Rev.
Mr. Stephens; but they declare that the ferocity of
these ill-advised men at Llanidloes exceeded any thing
they ever saw.
