Which, for the benefit of those unacquainted with the Welsh language, may be thus translated:— “Three things do I desire, To have indulgence for the guinea; And have the Pretender on the throne; And have French money to pay with.” In North Wales the Jacobites appear to have been numerous and powerful. A social meeting that existed very recently, if it does not still exist, at Wrexham, and known as the “Cycle,” was originally a secret assembly of the Jacobites, established in Denbighshire, for the object of upholding and promoting the pretensions of the young Pretender, Prince Charles Edward, to the throne of this country. The rules of this society, to which the signatures of several of its leading members were appended, were published, about thirty years back, in the _Cambrian Quarterly Journal_; {10} and, as that work possessed a limited circulation, and has now become scarce, its reproduction may interest many persons to whom it would otherwise be unknown. This list of the names of the members is one of the earliest known. More recent ones are stated to have been drawn up in the form of a round robin; which, it is suspected, was adopted to prevent the possibility of either of the members being proceeded against as the principal of an assembly that was clearly of a treasonable character. “We, whose names are underwritten, do promise at ye time and place to our names respectively affixed, and to observe the rules following, viz. Imprs. Every member of this society shall, for default of his appearance, submit to be censur’d, and shall thereupon be censur’d by the judgmt of the society. 2ndly.
