Presentation 3-band ENFIELD Rifle £800 new commission price
Very
nice condition. TOWER marked 1863. With engraved plate on butt.
"Presented by G.H. Whalley Esq. MP to Benjamin Lloyd Lewis of Nant Yr
Hendry for his manly and correct conduct in the affair of 7th Sept
1863."
George Hammond Whalley was MP for Peterborough from 1859, but had an
interest in a company that was building a railway in Montgomeryshire.
He was well-known at the time for his work with the Volunteer Rifles
movement and in Parliament was outspoken against Catholic interests,
which he saw as a threat. What the "affair" was is unclear, but "manly"
conduct suggests violence? Benjamin Lloyd Lewis was a farmer from Nant
Yr Hendry in Montgomeryshire.
