Note 153 — Chapter XLVIII · CLARENDON AND TYRCONNEL, 1685-1686

Letters in vol. i. of Clarendon and Rochester Correspondence. Aston’s dying declaration is appended to that of June 3. King’s remark is (chap. iii. sec. 2), ‘they might kill whom they pleased without fear of law, as appeared from Captain Nangles’ murdering his disbanded officer in the streets of Dublin; but if any killed or hurt them they were sure to suffer; as Captain Aston found to his cost, who was hanged for killing a Papist upon his abusing the captain’s wife in the street.’
