<HEAD>A full an True Acount of a mo&s;t
Barbarous and Bloody Murther,
Committed by
Edward Williams,
ON THE
Body of Mr. Hinton,
At the <HI>Wind&s;or-Ca&s;tle</HI> in <HI>Green-Dragon Court,</HI> near <HI>Charing-Cro&s;s,</HI> on <HI>Thur&s;day</HI> la&s;t: With
the occa&s;ion of their Quarrel, and manner of the Murther; and how the Coroners In|que&s;t
brought it in wilful Murther, and committed Mrs. <HI>Hinton</HI> to the <HI>Gate-Hou&s;e,</HI> la&s;t
Night for being Acce&s;&s;ary to the &s;ame.</HEAD>
<P>MR. <HI>Hinton</HI> formerly a Trooper in the Kings Guards, and lately re|moved
from the <HI>Wind&s;or-Ca&s;tle</HI> at <HI>Charing-Cro&s;s</HI> to the <HI>Wind&s;or-Ca|&s;tle</HI>
in <HI>Green-Dragon-Court</HI> in the <HI>Strand,</HI> where he had kept an Ale-Hou&s;e
for about Two Months, and having been &s;ome Days out of Town on &s;ome
extraordinary Bu&s;ine&s;s, leaving his Wife to mannage affairs in his ab&s;ence,
but returning home on <HI>Wedne&s;day</HI> was Sevennight la&s;t, found one <HI>Edward
Williams</HI> in his Hou&s;e, and (as &s;ome &s;ay) too familliar with his Wife, or at
lea&s;t took too much command upon him in his ab&s;ence, and to agravate the
matter his Wife was at the &s;ame time di&s;order'd in Drink: Whereupon high
and provoking Word; being given on both &s;ides, Mr. <HI>Hinton,</HI> (tho at
other times a very moderate and peacable Man) having &s;ome Tobacco Pipes
in his Hand, threw them at his Wife, which occa&s;ion'd <HI>Williams,</HI> (who was
then pre&s;ent) to draw his Sword, but <HI>Hinton's</HI> Maid in vindication of her
Ma&s;ter &s;tept'd between, and endeavourd to keep them a&s;under, and had in
all probability perform'd that good Office had not her Mi&s;tre&s;s thru&s;t her
a&s;ide; at which time (as we are inform'd) <HI>Williams</HI> taking the oppertunity,
made a pa&s;s at Mr. <HI>Hinton,</HI> and &s;uch an unfortunate one, that the point of
the Sword run into his Throat or Gullet, and (as &s;ome &s;ay) had repeated his
violence upon him had he not been prevented by Neighbours coming in; but
notwith&s;tanding all the endeavours that could be u&s;ed either by Surgeons or
others, he langui&s;h'd from <HI>Wedne&s;day</HI> the 30th of <HI>October</HI> till <HI>Thur&s;day</HI> the
7th of <HI>November</HI> and then Dyed of his Wound at which time <HI>Williams</HI> the
Murtherer made his E&s;cape, and not before, having (as we are credibly in|form'd)
Din'd with <HI>Hinton's</HI> Wife &s;everal times &s;ince he had given him his
mortal Wound, and once &s;ince he Dyed; which behaviour of hers towards
the Murtherer of her own Husband, has been much taken notice of by her
Neighbours, and no le&s;s reflected upon by her Husbands Relations.</P>
<P>Whereupon the Coroners Inque&s;t Sat ye&s;terday on the view of his Body, and after
<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="OXF" EXTENT="1 letter">aving &s;erch'd his Wound, and examin'd the Maid Servant concerning the Occa&s;ion, and
