IS THE MURDERERS EXECUTED.
Goodyere and other friends, opposed it so strongly, that
the House of Lords were of opinion that it could not be
granted; and so dismissed the petition.
The Captain’s view in furnishing the distressed lady with
money, as he himself told Sir John, was, that he should not
marry a young woman, and so beget an heir to his estate;
and this was one of the principal motives that induced
Sir John to leave the greatest part of his estate to his sister’s
sons.
Thus the principal occasion of this horrid and barbarous
murder, was the injury Captain Goodyere apprehended Sir
John had done him, in cutting off the entail of his estate ex-
cept 600Z. per annum, which he could not meddle with, in
order to settle it on his sister’s sons.
By the death of Sir John, an estate of 400Z. per annum,
devolved to the Lady Dinely, his widow, not as a jointure,
but as an estate of her own; which Sir John, while living,
kept in his own hands.
Captain Goodyere, Mahony and White, received sen-
tence of death, and they were accordingly executed, and
hung in chains to the north of the Hot Wells, in sight of
the place where the ship lay when the murder was com-
mitted.
But, to return to the eccentric relative of these unfortu-
nate men, Sir John, who has no ideas of slaughter, except-
ing that of ladies’ hearts; it is probable he will still persist
in discharging the shafts of Cupid, as long as he continues
to breathe. His application to the ladies of Great Britain,
it should be observed, are addressed both to young and oZtZ.
Those who object to his age, he treats as envious revilers;
and as to their saying that he is upwards of 59 years of age,
referring to his portrait, or his person, he challenges them to
believe it if they can.
Sir John Dinely lives at Windsor, in one of the habit a’
tions appropriated to reduced gentlemen of his descrip-
tion;
