Duel and murder threat in 17th century Guildford dispatch
Extract from a letter dated August 30 from Guildford reports a duel on Old Oak Lane near Wells where Mr Hare was killed. Lord Onslow’s surgeon says his lordship is out of danger. The piece notes a man’s brutal intent, his wild talk of killing, and lists related local notices, auctions, and forthcoming horse races and ads from Gloucester and Boston.
