 of Conwy, to show by what authority they claim 

 to have the town of Aberconwy ; two mills, lands, 

 and a piece near the castle in free farm, and to 

 exercise the corporate privileges enumerated in

 burgesses pleaded the charter of Edward I. the 

 charter of confirmation of .9. Edward II. and the
