BLOODY NEWS FROM Covent Garden; Being a True Relation, how one Mr. Bulger, an Irish Gentleman, who Committed a Horrible and Bloody Murder near the Three-Tun Tavern, in Chandois-Street: And of a Baker's Wife that is secured for the same FACT.  
BEtween 11. and 12. a Clock at Night on Thursday the 20th of this present September, Mr. Ph●lpsa Baker's Wife in Bedford-Berry, came to the three Tun Tavern in Chandois-Street for some Wine, and it so happening that the Gentlewoman of the Tavern, suspecting the money not to be good refused it for that Reason; and also to give her credit, not knowing at that time who she was or where she dwelled: One Charlton an Honest and Industrious Poor Labouring Man, and who plied as a Porter to the said Tavern, and to other Neighbours in the same Street was present. Also a Coachman by Accident, spoke to Mrs. Phelps, about her hindering him of 5 or 6. s. that was his due, from some of her Lodgers, who he said were a Company of Bullys and Hector's, which so enraged her that she presently, in a few minutes departs in a great Passion (as may be thought) being conscious of her Gild, and in a very few Minute's time, one Bulger an Irish Gentleman comes rushing into the Tavern and asked for the Coachman which the Porter perceiving, went immediately out of Doors, fearing the Gentleman might do him some mifchies (his Countenance threatening as much) and so it fell out; for the said Mr. Bulger pursued the Porter with all Violence, and before he was four Yards from the Tavern door run the Porter through the Body, upon which the poor man cried out Murder, and returned into the Tavern being still pursued, and dropped down dead before the Bar.  
At the same time the Murder was Committed, a Gentleman alighting from a Coach at a Neighbouring Door, called out to the people of the Tavern to secure the said Mr Bulger, saying he had killed the man, which was accordingly done, and at Constable sent for to secure the Prisoner, in O●der to his being prosecuted, and at the same time upon Examination of the Prisoner he Confessed the Fact, and declared he had ●o prejudice against the poor man that was slain, and that he did it at the Instigation of the said Baker's Wife; who forced him twice out of her doors to do it before he was willing to concern himself in her quarrel; she pretending the Coachman had Affronted her, & said he was hearty sorry for what he bade done & hoped God would forgive his grievous Offence Upon which Declaration, the Constable sent some part of his Watch & seized the Baker's Wife, and with the Assistance of another Constable and a great Number of Watchmen, and other Assistances that came in by chance, they carried them both to the Gatehouse about twelve a Glock the same Night, where they are to remain till next Sessions of Oyer & Terminer, & Goal delivery of Newgate. Mr White the Corroner of Westminster, having taken the Inquest, the Jury have found both the said parties Guilty of Wilful Murder; and it's Generally believed, it will appear so, when the Cause shall come to be tried at the Old-Baly, the Circumstance and Evidence being very plain and positive, besides the Confession of the parties.  
It is certain this poor Porter is nor the fi●st person the said Mr. Bulger hath slain. It being not many months ago, since he killed a Middlesex Officer, as he was Executing his office in German-Street in St. James' New-Buildings▪ for which he was Convicted, and had his Majesty's Gracious Pardon. And it is Credibly Reported, that Mr. Lesly the Scotch Gentlemau, that had the misfortune to kill Mr. Glover in , not many months ago, did lodge at that time at this Woman's House, and it is Conjectured that she might possibly have a finger in that Mischief, as well as this, which if so we may glorify the Providence of Divine Justice, in pursuing the Blood of the Innocent, which cries aloud for Vengeance on the Heads of the Guilty: though they may privately persevere in their wickedness never so long, the Hand of God's Justice will certainly, one time or another find them out, and this unfortunate poor man by the unruly hands of his Violence fell as you have heard without any manner of Provocation.
