UPon
account
of
some
Letters
arrived
here
,
whereof
one
to
the
Right
Honourable
the
Lord
Mayor
,
one
to
—
Andger
Esq
Counsellor
at
Law
,
and
the
rest
to
several
other
Persons
of
Note
,
giving
an
Account
of
a
suspitious
Murder
,
thought
to
be
committed
by
one
Mr.
Allen
,
who
keeps
a
great
Toy-Shop
near
Deans-Court
in
Paul's
Church-yard
,
upon
a
certain
Gentleman
,
who
lodged
at
his
House
,
a
Justice
of
Peace
in
Ireland
,
who
has
not
been
heard
of
these
since
these
five
or
six
Years
past
;
about
which
time
,
he
was
known
to
be
at
the
said
Allen's
House
in
Black-swan-Alley
,
in
Paul's
-
Church-yard
,
and
the
said
Letters
particularly
insisting
,
that
the
said
Allen's
House
of
Office
should
be
emptied
and
searched
;
and
the
said
Esq
Andger
going
to
the
Lord-Mayor
,
to
acquaint
him
with
the
purport
of
the
Letter
,
his
Lordship
finding
it
to
agree
with
that
sent
to
him
,
gave
orders
on
last
Friday
for
emptying
the
said
Vault
,
and
ordered
the
other
Gentlemen
concerned
to
take
care
to
see
all
that
came
out
carefully
examined
:
Which
being
done
accordingly
,
we
are
told
that
the
said
Night-men
found
a
piece
of
a
Scull
with
Hair
upon
it
,
and
several
other
Bones
,
which
were
carefully
kept
and
carried
;
together
with
Mr.
Allen
and
the
Night-men
,
before
his
Lordship
;
where
the
Night-men
declared
,
That
besides
the
Soil
which
they
took
out
,
they
brought
also
a
good
quantity
of
Lime
,
which
gave
some
suspition
that
the
said
Lime
had
been
thrown
in
to
consume
the
Flesh
of
the
party
supposed
to
be
Murdered
.
Mr.
Allen
owned
,
as
I
am
told
,
that
he
put
in
the
said
Lime
,
but
alledged
,
that
it
was
to
save
the
charge
of
emptyng
the
Vault
,
because
he
did
not
think
of
living
long
there
,
and
to
prevent
annoying
his
Neighbours
by
the
Stench
.
Some
Surgeons
were
summoned
to
give
their
Verdict
upon
the
Bones
this
Night
,
which
all
agreed
that
it
was
the
Scull
and
Bones
of
some
Person
,
thought
to
be
murdered
.
However
,
upon
the
whole
,
the
said
Allen
is
bound
over
to
answer
the
same
the
next
Sessions
,
and
has
given
Six
Hundred
Pound
Bail
to
answer
it
accordingly
.
