Yes, I have read about the Pontrhyddallt Inn and the court hearing.

Although I`m not sure if the executioner, the MP and Sir Watkin Williams Wynn visited the pub or whether their names went in the book as some kind of joke  ?

The Mr Harwood who allegedly wrote the names in the book was Isaac`s brother in law, Henry Harwood a Londoner who owned several pubs/hotels in and around Caernarfon.

Thiis link may be of interest to you. It mentions most of Isaac`s family.

A quick mention about no pubs in Llandegai. Lord Penrhyn would not allow a pub to be built or any form of liquor to be produced/sold and as you can imagine he carried quite a bit of clout with any decisions of this nature.

Some say that lord Penrhyn didn't want pubs on one side of the high street, others say that they are on one side because the river keeps the beer cold.

I’m probably related to merchobont as my great grandfather G Roberts ran the bookseller and stationers at Lorne house and then it was taken on by his daughter (my grandmother) until the mid 1940’s. I have photos showing my grandparents outside the shop.
