A true narrative of three wicked and bloody murthers committed in three several months : the first was at Oxford, committed by Thomas Hovell, a taylor; upon the body of John White, a schollar of Bealy-Colledge, through covetousness for his money. The second in London, done by a young lady upon her lover, by reason he had promis'd her marriage, and got her with child, she went to pistol him, but failing in that, she stabb'd him with a pen-knife. The third was done by a victualler on Bednal-Green, within two miles of London; who comming home late, run his wife through with a rapier, she being bigg of her first child. The reasons of these murthers, and how they was acted, the book within does more largely make mention.
