In the year 1801 Richard Starke was executed at Newgate for the wilful murder of Mary, his wife, in Clement’s Lane, by dragging her on the floor by the hair of her head, and inhumanly kicking her. Mr. Crowther and Mr. Andre, surgeons, were of opinion that she died in consequence of the rupture of the spleen, which appeared to them to have been occasioned by bruises.
