It is most plain if you believe the Witnesses that Mr. Harrison was concerned for this Woman Vanwick and hath threatned Dr. Clenche called him Rogue and Rascal and said that he deserved to have his Throat cut that Harrison went under a Disguise for some time before the Murder You have had an Account of the Handkerchief what kind of Handkerchief Harrison had and what Handkerchief was taken about Dr. Clench's Neck you have seen And you heard what Evidence was given by Mr. Humstond how the Prisoner was with him about nine a Clock that Night and how he refused to stay and sup with Mr. Humstond If Mr. Harrison had no earnest business one would have thought he might have staid with Mr. Humstond better than to have gone to an Ale-House in Crown-Court and plaid at Cards at one Penny a piece a Corner he might have had better Fare no doubt The Witnesses for the Prisoner say for him That he came to Maccafee's House about 9 a Clock at night and staid till eleven That is contrary to that Evidence given for the King viz. That he was in the Coach at Brownlow-street End for if he was at Maccafee's House all the time they mention it is impossible he should be guilty All those things are under your serious Consideration You had best go together and if you are not satisfied upon the Evidence you have heard that he is guilty then you ought to acquit him but if you are satisfied that he did commit this Murder then you ought to find him guilty Then the Jury withdrew and the Court adjourned for half an hour and when they were returned the Jury came to give their Verdict and being called over answered to their Names and Mr. Harrison was brought to the Bar.
