I would my hands had been tyed thus last night and it had been better for me This being ended his Mittimus vvas made and he vvas conducted by the Officers to Nevvgate till such time that Justice be inflicted upon him for this bloody fact On Wednesday the 11th of July the Crowner should have sat with his July on the party murthered but he being absent they appointed to meet the next day till when the Corps was ordered to be laid in the ground which was accordingly performed On Thursday the twelfth instant the Crowners Jury as to the agreement the day before met in the Nags-head Taat Clarken-wel and being gathered together the body was ordered to be taken up again This being performed the Crowner and his Jury sat upon this sad and lamentable act and after viewing the Corps according to the Laws of this Kingdom they gave in their Verdict that they could finde it to be no other then willful murther When they had thus ended the Corps was again put into the place from whence it was taken and the murderer still remains in Newgate and will doubtlesse next Sessions receive the just sentence of Death for this cruel bloody and barbarous fact The Relation of this wicked and unimmitated enterprize is here published as a warning-piece to all those that are young and ignorant of the nature of love which in it self is peaceable hides multitudes of faults plots no evil and seeks not revenge but if kindled with the divelish fire of Jealousy is a plotter of all manner of mischief and acts with bloody hands in any cruel murder what-ever that they fall not into such desperate designs whereby they may not only deprive of life those on whom they commit such horrid cruelties and barbarous murthers but also bring themselves to unnatural and untimely ends to the great grief of their Parents and friends and to the sorrow of all good Christians that have an eye to disceru the miserable and desperate condition men fall in by Jealousie which was the chief cause of this most sad and lamentable cruelty committed on the said Gregory Reeves by the bloudy hands of John Mason as he lay in a dead sleep not dreaming in the least of the intended mischief designed by his bed-fellow This may put us all in mind of our duty to him who is the Author of all good That in regard we enter into our beds as into our graves so we ought to use our best endeavours to make such a preparation for every houre that we may imbrace death as a Messenger inviting us to a Mansion of eternal glory FINIS A true account of the bloody murther commtted by a Soldiers Wife on her Husband upon Wednesday last at Dog and Bitch-yard near the Covent-garden IN this story I shall he brief and only give you the true account which was thus viz.
