Three hundred pounds rewards is offered,
Soon may the murderer taken be,
And brought to justice for the dreadful
Deed he done, as we may hear,
And glad we are there is before us,
A clue to the wicked murderer.
They have traced his watch-chain in the city,
The very key, as we are told,
Stole from poor Briggs that fatal evening,
Albert curb, with swivel seal in gold.
