Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The foure & twentith of Maie,Martin Bul|locke hanged at the well with two buckets. Martine Bullocke was hanged on a gibet by the well with two buckets in Bishops gate stréet of London, for robbing, and most shamefullie murthering of a merchant named Arthur Hall, in the parsonage of S. Martine by the said well. This Martine had procured the said Ar|thur Hall to come to the said parsonage, to buie of him certeine plate. But after the said Arthur had well viewed the same, he said; This is none of your plate, it hath doctor Gardeners marke,Fellonie and murther com|bined. and I know it to be his: That is true said Martine Bullocke, but he hath appointed me to sell it, &c. After this talke, whilest the said Arthur was weieng the plate, the same Martine fetcht out of the kitchin a thicke wash|ing beetle,The maner of the murther committed. and comming behind him stroke the said Arthur on the head, that he felled him with the first stroke; and then strake him againe, and after tooke the said Arthurs dagger, and sticked him, and with his knife cut his throte: and after would haue trus|sed him in a Danske chest, but the same was too short. Whervpon he tumbled him downe a paire of staires, and after thinking to haue buried him in the cellar, his legs being broken with the first fall,Ah mercilesse murtherer and stiffe, he could not draw him downe the cellar stairs being winding. Wherfore he cut off his legs with an hatchet, and in the end trussed him with straw in a drie vat: and saieng it was his apparell and bookes, caused the same to be carried to the water side, and so shipped to Rie. But as God would haue it, there was suspicion gathered against the murtherer,The murthe|rer examined. wher|by he was examined before alderman Branch then one of the shiriffes of London; but so small likelihood appéered that he should be guiltie, that there was an honest man dwelling in saint Laurence Pontneis named Robert Gée a clothworker, who supposing the offendor to be cléere in the matter, vndertooke for his foorth comming. Wherevpon Bullocke being suf|fered to go at libertie, slipt awaie, first to West|minster; and there taking bote, passed vp the riuer:He hath liber|tie notwith|standing his offense. and comming on land beyond Kingston, passed foorth till he came to Okingham, in the forrest of Wind|sore, an eight miles beyond the towne of Windsore: and from thense (what mooued him, I leaue to the se|cret iudgement of God) he came backe againe vn|to London, lodging at the red lion in Holborne.

And amongst other that went foorth, one of his seruants was sent to Rie, whither the drie vat was conueied: and comming thither, the same drie vat was opened, wherein the mangled corps of Hall was found: whereby the truth of the matter EEBO page image 1229 came to light,The drie vat, wherein the murthered man was put to be trans|ported, des|cried. and by the good prouidence of God, the reuealer of such euill facts, Bullocke was at the ve|rie same time discouered at the place in Holborne a|fore mentioned, and there apprehended, did receiue (as ye haue heard) due punishment for his heinous and most wicked offense.
