About Xmas last Deft having heard That her husband (who had lost his Keeper's place) was going to the
East Indies she came over Privately to gett some money out of him But finding him at Breakfast with his
Maid whom she was Jealous of swore she would blow his Brains out Whereupon her husband swore the Peace
