[Thomas Morgan, a pipemaker, was found guilty of murdering his wife Elizabeth in a frenzied knife attack and was executed at Tyburn 4 April 1746. The listener, also named Thomas Morgan, describes an encounter at the home of the Morgans, including Thomas and Elizabeth quarrelling] Morgan: […] Then said she, I will agree to it [her husband's suggestion that they should separate], and I will take the business into my own hand. Then said he, I will tie you up from one thing, that you shall not employ John Hartley ; (that is the man he was jealous of) Then she made answer, I will not be confined from that, for he is the only person I choose to work for me [...] Then he fell a dancing and capering, and said, then it is all off if you will employ him, and fell a singing directly. Q. Pray did you hear when it was that the woman was murdered? Morgan. No, I lay in the garret, I went and left him singing; for I was a little in liquor. |
