Memorandums of Mr. Henry Lloyd Jones, father of Mr Glynne Jones of Bangor, retired solicitor, and son of William Jones of Dwygyfylchi

really a diary of his visit to London (1 April - June 29, 1842), partly to deepen his knowledgw of legal practice, and partly to attend to a lawsuit in which his father was concerned. Elias Jones of Gwredog was his brother, and at the time (1842) at Mr Lakeland's school at Christleton near Chester; Henry lloyd Jones visited him there on his way to London, and also took the opportunity of putting in an afternoon at the Chester Races (see p.6). Having arrived in the capital he spends his time studying law, listening to speeches at the Law Courts, dining with friends, and attending chapel services (he was evidently quite welcome at the houses of prominent C.M. like the Simners). Somewhat too prim, proper, and self -righteous : faces the temptations of the street, and easily overcomes them; is freely contemptuous of "idle apprentices" and clerks who run off to Ascot races. Quite fond of discussing knotty points of the law in his Diary. Refers more than once (11,85) to the presence of Lloyd Roberts in London - he was the enterprising Caernarvon solicitor, brother to the more famous Dr. O.O.Roberts of Castle Hill, two Radical stalwarts. He witnessed one execution (16), and met Mr. Roebuck, M.P., at a consultation (24-25) - "such a sharp little fellow"
