First line: ‘From easing females in their pain’. The title refers to the knighting of the queen’s physician David Hamilton in 1703.

Humphrey Shelton, auditor of the Receipt, has worked diligently in his reckonings with the tellers, and they are now brought to ‘good and perfecte order’. It has come to light that one annuity of £40 a year, granted by the house of St John of Jerusalem for thirty years to Thomas Hennage, gentleman, has been paid for 4½ years after the end of the term, and that another annuity of £20 a year granted by Queen Mary to Edmund Beningfild, gentleman, for the term of his life, has been paid for three years after his death. A total of £240 is therefore to be paid back to the Queen. In consideration of these discoveries and of Shelton’s diligence and service they have allowed him £60. Stanley is to pay Shelton this sum and obtain a quittance in return.

No caption or date. From the fifth volume of Jackson’s New and Complete Newgate Calendar (1795), where this illustration faces p. 278 and is captioned ‘John Hartley, James Deane, and their accomplices in the House of Mr Clewin, at Finchley, where they committed a Burglary’. The names of the criminals in the caption are wrong, this burglary having been confused with one committed by James Bean (sic), John Hartley, and Lambert Smith, an account of which appears on pp. 305–7 of the same volume.
