14. Nou. 1699.  
ON Sunday Morning being the 12th of this instant November, 1699. Mr. Parry, who belongs to the Playhouse in Lincoln-Inn-Fields, being in Company with Henry Arthur, whose Brother was jately Executed at Tybarn for Robbing the Western Mail) I say being together at a Tavern near Covent Garden, they continued together till between 3 and 4 of the Clock, at which time Differing about Gaming, they went out together to all appearance in a very Friendly manner; but going over the Square near the Market place▪ some words arising about a certain Reckoning between them; some say about dividing a sum of Money, which in short was agrevated to that Violent degree that they both drew their 〈◊〉 (as we are informed) by consent, at which time several desperate Wounds were give● and received on both sides, Arthur pricking Parry in several places on the Arm, and another dangerous one, on the right Pap; which so Increased his Passion, that redoubling his Fury, he returned Arthur as many by way of requital, Particularly on the Shoulder, Thigh, left Breast, and several other places, among which one upon the right Pap, that extended above 6 Inches slope wise, it proved so Fatal, that he Dropped down and Died thereof immediately; at which instant the Watch, who had heard the clhashing of their Swords came in, and seized Mr. Parry the Murderer, who with the great Effusing of Blood that issued from the wounds which the Deceased had given him under the right Breast; was ready to faint, being hardly able to go to the Round-house, whither the Watch conveyed both, him and the deceased; where was found about them four score Pound in Gold and Silver, besides a very rich Watch in the Pocket of Henry Arthur; both which 'tis Conjectured they had Obtained by unlawful Purchase the Night before: About 5 a clock Mr. Parry Wounds were searched and dressed by a Skilful Surgeon, who judges that on his right breast very Dangerous; However as soon as he is able he will be carried before a Magistrate, and consequently be Committed to Newgate for the said Murder, but last night he remained in the Round-house: Where the Coro ners Inquest Sat on the view of his body, when by reason, there was no Evidence, but what Parry declared, and both of them having many Wounds, as well the Surviving Person as the Deceased, the Jury thereupon brought Mr. Parry in guilty of Man Slaughter, and Mr. White the Coroner ordered his Committment for the Gatehouse, from whence 'tis thought he will suddenly be removed to Newgate.  
'Tis Eminently remarkable and well worthy observation, that Companions in Evil Enterprises, commonly meet with sad and disastrous Fates, and fatal Exit, as is plainly Evident in the unfortunate and untimely Deaths of the two Arthur's, and others concerned with them, as for instance the two brethren in Evils, in conjunction with Captain John Belingham, Robbed the Western Mail; when being taken, the said Belingham became an Evidence against them, for which Crime John Arthur was Executed, since which Belingham, was Sworn against last Sessions by his own Compaion, and was, also Hanged, and tho' Henry escaped that shameful Death, yet at last, when he little thought of it, he was Killed by the Sword of his Familiar Friend; who 'tis thought, has received his mortal Wound from him: So that hereby 'tis notoriously manifest that such unlawful Confederacy's or Societies, tho' they may seemingly Flourish for a time, yet either sooner or later they meet with sad and fatal Consequences; and that often too by Destroying one another.
