From the 14 October 1843 Cambrian:

Rebecca’s Proceedings.

Notwithstanding the Royal proclamation and the removal of obnoxious gates and bars, outrages still proceed in the Principality. On Thursday se’nnight, a bailiff, named Davies, who was “in possession” at a public-house in the village of Llandyfelliog, six miles from Carmarthen, was sent home to Carmarthen, with a warning never to return, by a party of fourteen Rebeccaites, who had their faces blackened and were otherwise disguised. The light company of the 73^d, who are to be stationed at Pontarddulais and Pontyberem, left Swansea for those places, yesterday morning. — A few days ago, about fifty of the London police left the City for Wales.
