TO THE READER.

THE Murther of Doctor Andrew Clenche (from the manner of it) did very much disturb the Thoughts of many Men. But the Evidence against Henry Harrison, Gent. at his Tryal for that Murther, was so full and satisfactory to all that heard it, That it was then believed there was not any doubt left of his being one of the Actors of that Murther. But there having been some Endeavours since by the Accusation of one John Cole, and others, to make the said Henry Harrison appear Innocent, and to Arraign the Justice of the Kingdom. It is therefore thought necessary to publish both the Trials of the said Henry Harrison and John Cole, for the Satisfaction of all Persons, and in hopes also, that it may be a means of as happy a Discovery of the Managers of that Accusation, as there was by great Providence of one of the Actors of that secret and cruel Murther.
