It was a trial for any Madden's Hill boy just to watch them. "Wot a swelled bunch!" exclaimed Tom Lindsay. "Fellers, if Slugger Blandy tries to pull any stunt on me today he'll get a swelleder nut," growled Lane Griffith. "T-t-t-t-t-te-te-tell him t-t-t-to keep out of m-m-m-my way an' not b-b-b-b-bl-block me," stuttered Tay-Tay Mohler. "We're a-goin' to skin 'em," said Eddie Curtis.

Given under my hand and seal this 16th day of August, 1751. RICHARD MILES, Mayor and Coroner. Wimple, Sept. 27th, 1751. My Dear Lord, I received from Mr. Jones, by your Grace's directions, the inclosed papers relating to the Murder of Mr. Blandy of Henley.
Blandy, also summoned in haste, was much out of humour at "the great expense" incurred, and proposed forthwith to take his wife home, where "neither the physician's fees nor the apothecary's journeys could be so expensive"; and whenever the invalid was able to travel, the whole party, including the indispensable captain, returned to Henley.

Miss Blandy was not removed to Oxford Castle till the following day, to enable her to make the arrangements necessary for a lengthy visit.
