Rotherfield.

_Murderer hanged when pardoned._--I have a copy of the _Protestant's

Almanack_ for 1680, full of MS. notes of the period, written by one of the

Crew family. Among other matter it states:

"A man was hung for a murder in Southwark (I think), notwithstanding

the king's pardon had been obtained for him, and he actually had it in

his pocket at the time."

Will some kind friend oblige me with further information of this case, or

tell me where I may obtain it?
