_The Three Dukes_ (Vol. ii., p. 9.).--Perhaps a note which I have just
stumbled upon, in a MS. account of the Griffin family, may furnish some
clue as to "the Dukes who killed the Beadell."
"Edward Griffin was probably the same person, to whom a pardon
was granted, April 11. 1671, for the death of Peter Werriel; in
the like manner as _was granted to the Duke of Albemarle and
the_ Duke of Monmouth."
At all events, both casualties occurred in the same spring, and a
reference to the gazettes of the day would perhaps set the question at
rest.
