wretched maniac, for so in common
charity he must be partly considered,
observing his eldest son, a boy four
years old, at play in the gallery of Cal-
verley Hall, rushed upon and wounded
the unsuspecting innocent with his dag-
ger, when taking up the child he car-
ried him to his wife’s chamber, who
was asleep, while the nurse was dress-
ing another of the children in the
same apartment: the unhappy mother,
roused from her slumbers by the vio-
lent entry of her husband, soon became
aware of the danger which threatened
herself and her children, and endea-
voured to save the younger infant from
his fury, but in vain, as he plunged
his dagger, yet reeking with the blood
of the eldest child, into the heart of this
second unoffending victim whilst in his
mother’s arms; he then severely wound-
ed the lady; and still pursuing his
murderous intent, took horse and rode
off towards a house where his third
child, only a few months old, was at
nurse; but the animal stumbling, he was
thrown, and secured by a servant who
was despatched after him. The next
day, on his examination before some
neighbouring magistrates, he confessed
his crime, and avowed that jealousy
was the cause of the excitement; but it
appears that his wife’s conduct was at
all times irreproachable: when brought
to trial, he refused to plead, and was
consequently pressed to death in the
castle of York, Aug. 5,1604: the estate
was thus saved to the family, to which
the infant who escaped succeeded, and
transmitted it to his successors, who
continued here till the year 1754, when
it was sold to the family of Thornhill.
