A
full
an
True
Acount
of
a
most
Barbarous
and
Bloody
Murther
,
Committed
by
Edward
Williams
,
ON
THE
Body
of
Mr.
Hinton
,
At
the
Windsor-Castle
in
Green-Dragon
Court
,
near
Charing-Cross
,
on
Thursday
last
:
With
the
occasion
of
their
Quarrel
,
and
manner
of
the
Murther
;
and
how
the
Coroners
Inquest
brought
it
in
wilful
Murther
,
and
committed
Mrs.
Hinton
to
the
Gate-House
,
last
Night
for
being
Accessary
to
the
same
.
MR.
Hinton
formerly
a
Trooper
in
the
Kings
Guards
,
and
lately
removed
from
the
Windsor-Castle
at
Charing-Cross
to
the
Windsor-Castle
in
Green-Dragon-Court
in
the
Strand
,
where
he
had
kept
an
Ale-House
for
about
Two
Months
,
and
having
been
some
Days
out
of
Town
on
some
extraordinary
Business
,
leaving
his
Wife
to
mannage
affairs
in
his
absence
,
but
returning
home
on
Wednesday
was
Sevennight
last
,
found
one
Edward
Williams
in
his
House
,
and
(
as
some
say
)
too
familliar
with
his
Wife
,
or
at
least
took
too
much
command
upon
him
in
his
absence
,
and
to
agravate
the
matter
his
Wife
was
at
the
same
time
disorder'd
in
Drink
:
Whereupon
high
and
provoking
Word
;
being
given
on
both
sides
,
Mr.
Hinton
,
(
tho
at
other
times
a
very
moderate
and
peacable
Man
)
having
some
Tobacco
Pipes
in
his
Hand
,
threw
them
at
his
Wife
,
which
occasion'd
Williams
,
(
who
was
then
present
)
to
draw
his
Sword
,
but
Hinton's
Maid
in
vindication
of
her
Master
stept'd
between
,
and
endeavourd
to
keep
them
asunder
,
and
had
in
all
probability
perform'd
that
good
Office
had
not
her
Mistress
thrust
her
aside
;
at
which
time
(
as
we
are
inform'd
)
Williams
taking
the
oppertunity
,
made
a
pass
at
Mr.
Hinton
,
and
such
an
unfortunate
one
,
that
the
point
of
the
Sword
run
into
his
Throat
or
Gullet
,
and
(
as
some
say
)
had
repeated
his
violence
upon
him
had
he
not
been
prevented
by
Neighbours
coming
in
;
but
notwithstanding
all
the
endeavours
that
could
be
used
either
by
Surgeons
or
others
,
he
languish'd
from
Wednesday
the
30th
of
October
till
Thursday
the
7th
of
November
and
then
Dyed
of
his
Wound
at
which
time
Williams
the
Murtherer
made
his
Escape
,
and
not
before
,
having
(
as
we
are
credibly
inform'd
)
Din'd
with
Hinton's
Wife
several
times
since
he
had
given
him
his
mortal
Wound
,
and
once
since
he
Dyed
;
which
behaviour
of
hers
towards
the
Murtherer
of
her
own
Husband
,
has
been
much
taken
notice
of
by
her
Neighbours
,
and
no
less
reflected
upon
by
her
Husbands
Relations
.
Whereupon
the
Coroners
Inquest
Sat
yesterday
on
the
view
of
his
Body
,
and
after
●aving
serch'd
his
Wound
,
and
examin'd
the
Maid
Servant
concerning
the
Occasion
,
and
Circumstance
of
the
aforesaid
tragical
Actiton
,
who
gave
a
large
Account
of
each
Par●●cular
,
relating
as
well
to
the
neglegence
of
her
Mistris
,
as
the
rashness
of
Mr
Williams
,
〈◊〉
after
having
sereously
and
Deliberately
considered
the
matter
;
and
brought
it
in
wil●●●
Murther
.
Mrs.
Hinton
,
Wife
to
the
Deceased
,
was
committed
to
the
Gate-House
last
●●ght
being
Friday
the
8th
of
November
,
1700
,
on
Suspition
of
being
accessary
to
the
●●rther
of
her
Husband
.
But
Edward
Williams
the
principal
Murtherer
,
is
not
yet
to
be
●●●nd
,
notwithstanding
the
great
Search
that
is
made
after
him
.
