The second part of the fatal tragedy of the fifth of March,
1770, we may expect to see acted very soon in the streets of
this metropolis:  This evening we have had the prologue,
spoken by one of our new-comers.  A soldier (I shudder at
the name) at the corner of Wings-Lane, drew his sword, and
hailing two or three lads, that had passed by peaceably,
assaulted them, telling them, that he longed to be the death
of half a dozen of the town's people. . .
