<ARGUMENT>
<P>In <HI>Black Swan-Alley</HI> in <HI>Pauls-Church-Yard,</HI> who hath not been heard of this 5 Years.</P>
<P><HI>With the manner of the Di&s;covery,</HI></P>
<P>By Letters to &s;everal Per&s;ons of Note, to &s;earch a Vault in the Hou&s;e of Mr. <HI>Allen,</HI> where he formerly Lodg'd, where was found the Bones, and part of the Scull of the &s;uppo&s;ed Murthered Per&s;on.</P>
<P><HI>With Mr.</HI> Allvens <HI>Examination,</HI><LB>
Before the Lord <HI>Mayhr</HI> on <HI>Saturday</HI> la&s;t, and of his being Bound over to An&s;wer it at the next <HI>Se&s;&s;ions.</HI></P>
</ARGUMENT>
<P>UPon account of &s;ome Letters arrived here, whereof one to the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, one to&mdash; <HI>Andger</HI> <ABBR>E&s;q</ABBR> Coun&s;ellor at Law, and the re&s;t to &s;e|veral other Per&s;ons of Note, giving an Account of a &s;u&s;pitious Murder, thought to be committed by one Mr. <HI>Allen,</HI> who keeps a great Toy-Shop near <HI>Deans-Court</HI> in <HI>Paul's Church-yard,</HI> upon a certain Gentleman, who lodged at his Hou&s;e, a Ju&s;tice of Peace in <HI>Ireland,</HI> who has not been heard of the&s;e &s;ince the&s;e five or &s;ix Years pa&s;t; about which time, he was known to be at the &s;aid <HI>Allen</HI>'s Hou&s;e in <HI>Black-&s;wan-Alley,</HI> in <HI>Paul</HI>'s-<HI>Church|yard,</HI> and the &s;aid Letters particularly in&s;i&s;ting, that the &s;aid <HI>Allen</HI>'s Hou&s;e of Office &s;hould be emptied and &s;earched; and the &s;aid <ABBR>E&s;q</ABBR> <HI>Andger</HI> going to the Lord-Mayor, to acquaint him with the purport of the Letter, his Lord&s;hip finding it to agree with that &s;ent to him, gave orders on la&s;t <HI>Friday</HI> for emptying the &s;aid Vault, and ordered the other Gentlemen concerned to take care to &s;ee all that came out carefully examined: Which being done accordingly, we are told that the &s;aid Night-men found a piece of a Scull with Hair upon it, and &s;everal other Bones, which were carefully kept and carried; together with Mr. <HI>Allen</HI> and the Night-men, before his Lord&s;hip; where the Night-men declared, That be&s;ides the Soil which they took out, they brought al&s;o a good quantity of Lime, which gave &s;ome &s;u&s;pition that the &s;aid Lime had been thrown in to con&s;ume the Fle&s;h of the party &s;uppo&s;ed to be Murdered.</P>
<P>Mr. <HI>Allen</HI> owned, as I am told, that he put in the &s;aid Lime, but alledged, that it was to &s;ave the charge of emptyng the Vault, becau&s;e he did not think of living long there, and to prevent annoy|ing his Neighbours by the Stench. Some Surgeons were &s;ummon|ed to give their Verdict upon the Bones this Night, which all agreed that it was the Scull and Bones of &s;ome Per&s;on, thought to be mur|dered. However, upon the whole, the &s;aid <HI>Allen</HI> is bound over to an&s;wer the &s;ame the next Se&s;&s;ions, and has given Six Hundred Pound Bail to an&s;wer it accordingly.</P>
