"нанес рану рапирой ценой в два шиллинга" - и так во многих делах. Ну это ладно, но среди рапир у него отмечена кочерга ценой в 2d (не знаю, что за денежка). Этой кочергой жена треснула мужа по лбу "над правым глазом", отчего он помучался с неделю да и помер.

Elizabeth Flower of Stepney , was Indicted for the Murder of Anthony Flower her Husband, on the 3d of April , by giving him one mortal Bruise with a Poker, value 2 d. on the Head near the right Eye, of which he languished to the 9th and died . It appeared, the deceased being arrested for the Prisoner's Brothers Debt, occasioned some Difference between the deceased and the Prisoner, and so enraged the deceased, that he threw a Fire-shovel at her, upon which she retired out of the House for some time, till his Passion might be over; and returning, the deceased threw the Poker at her, which she taking up, threw back at him, by which he received the Wound.
