York Assizes. Medhurst indicted for the murder of his wife
At York Castle on a Friday in August 1800 Baron Granast presided over the case of Granville Medhurst Esquire charged with the will murder of his wife Sarah Medhurst of Kippax. Testimony described Medhurst’s alarming behavior, threats with a sword, and frightening actions toward servants and family before the alleged deadly acts.
