Description (What the record is about)
-
Richd. How II (Aspley) to Wm. Tomlinson. Full account of murder of G. Hall, a butcher, between Woburn & Aspley, suspected to have been committed by WM. Turvey: At the inquest the coroner ordered Turvey to touch the corpse,"as people hereabouts have a great notion a body will bleed if touched by the murderer" .... "It is to be remarked that the market bell which used to be rung at 8 o'clock when tradesfolks leave work, was that night rung about 7 by the contrivance of Some who wanted to be at liberty sooner than usual ..." - A cat jumped off a bank onto a man's shoulder halfway from Woburn to Aspley. & he was no able to disengage himself till he arrived. which has caused the old women to speculate that he is bewitched.
