AN ACCOUNT OF THE Discovery and Siezing OF Mr. Harrison, and Mr. R—, On the Account of the Murder of the late Doctor CLENCH. WITH A Relation of the Examination, etc. of One of them, and of his Commitment to Newgate last night, the 6th. Instant.  
DOctor Clench, having been most Barbarously and Inhumanely Murdered, by Two Ruffians, in a Coach, going towards Aldgate, on Monday the Fourth Instant, about Eleven at Night: Now, it being generally supposed, by all the Doctor's Friends, that the Villains were instigated to Commit this Notorious Fact, more out of Malice and Revenge, than any Real Design as to Profit, on the Account of Robbing of Moneys, etc. Upon which, mature Consideration was taken, What Persons had any Quarrel with the Doctor (himself being, in his Life-time, known to be a very Peaceable, Innocent, and Inoffensive Person:) Upon which the following Concern came fresh to Memory; viz. The Doctor having, a considerable time since, Lent a certain Gentlewoman a Sum of Money, on a Mortgage, and afterwards calling in his Monies, for divers Reasons, the Thing being but for the Gentlewoman's Life, that the Mortgage was upon, and for Nonpayment, neither of the principle Money, nor Interest, the Doctor proceeded at Law, and in time procured the Rent being paid to him; upon which one Mr. Harrison, who was a Friend, and as some say, kept very Familiar Company with Gentlewoman, going to demand the Rent, and they refusing Payment, saying, it was now Doctor Clenches right to Receive it; upon which he was heard to say, G— damn-him, he would speedily be Revenged on the Doctor, and cure him of Receiving of it, or Words to that effect; and, as 'tis said, in other companies lately he has been heard to say, he would be the death of the Doctor.  
A Warrant being granted for the Apprehending of this Mr. Harrison, and one Mr. R—, who is supposed to be the said Harrisons Accomplice in the Murder, they were both taken yesterday, by Constables, Tipstaves, etc. the former after a long and diligent search (he often changing his Lodgings, taking new Lodgings, on Saturday last,) was taken near White-Fryers; the latter at his own house.  
Mr. Harrison, being brought before the Lord Chief Justice, and the Coachman, who drove the Coach when the Doctor was Murdered, being sent for and present, Deposed, That he verily believed, Harrison to be one of the Ruffians, but that he had then Black clothes on; but now was in Coloured.  
Harrison being Examined to give an Account, where he was from Nine to Twelve a Clock on Monday night; said, He was at a Widow-womans' Coffee House near Fleetstreet; but she being sent for, Declared, That he was at her House not above half an hour; which, as she said, was from half an hour past Eight till Nine, or thereabouts; tho' he before alleged, that he was there Three or Four Hours; he likewise Alleged, that he had not seen Doctor Clench for many Weeks before, though it was proved that he had been with him but a few days before.  
In short, Harrison giving but a very slender account of himself, and there being very Corroborating Circumstances fixed upon him, the Lord Chief Justice committed him to Newgate that Night.  
This Mr. Harrison, was formerly Clerk to Sergeant Ottway of Grays-Inn, but has been known to ●e●● Person of a very Lewd Conversation for several years last pa 〈…〉
