March 1st: James MUIR
Newgate
A shoemaker from Whitechapel, Muir had split up from his paramour, Abigail Sullivan after a drunken row. He went to live with another woman but Sullivan still pestered him for money and took to calling on him at work. Muir told her that if she came to the works again, he would stab her, and later told a friend: 'Something will happen tonight and if anyone tries to interfere they will be served the same.' After work, he called at her house and was told to leave. He refused and stabbed her fatally in the breast. Hanged by James Billington.
