Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the Rev. Mr. James
Hackman was brought by Mr. Smith, of Tothill-fields
Bridewell, from that prison, and examined before Sir. John
Fielding, in Bow-street, touching the murder of Miss
[Martha] Ray. . . [2/3 column describing trial]
The sudden and melancholy exit of Miss Ray, says a
correspondent, marks the necessity of our being ever on our
guard. There is something shocking in the idea of a person's
stepping from the play-house unto eternity. . . [3 lines]
