A […] of soldiers went to the house of Joseph […] they entered, fired in […] ⟨p. 195⟩the window, to give notice of their approach. A musket ball entered one of Mrs. Garniero's breasts, as she was suckling an infant with the other. On finding their intentions, she begged hard that they would spare the life of the infant, which they promised to do, and sent it immediately to a Roman catholic nurse. They then took the husband and hanged him at his own door, and having shot the wife through the head, they left her body weltering in […] blood, and her husband hanging on the gallows.
