There is a list of some of the witnesses etc in the cases relating to the
riots on my website
at
http://www.angelfire.com/ga/BobSanders/Times_Cardiff2.html
These were extracted from The Times.
I also have some other Times extracts partcularly relating to John Frost and
Zephaniah Williams which I have not yet transcribed but which may be of use.
Let me know if you want copies

Does anyone know of an in depth on-line report. I have found short
histories, but none to any depth. If there is no on-line sites could any
one recommend a good book about it.

Dear David,
There is an account of the Chartist riots in Newport on the "Gathering the
Jewels" website at
http://www.gtj.org.uk/item.php?lang=en&id=24492&t=10
You'll find another account at
http://pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk/sr235/knight.htm
The authors of both articles recommend the book "The Last Rising: The
Newport Insurrection of 1839" by David J. V. Jones, published in 1985 by
Oxford University Press; ISBN 0-19-820102-8.
Incidentally, the Newport Riots were in November 1839, not the late 1840s.
Kind regards,
John
