Williamsburgh, (Virginia) July 2. The Governor has issued
his proclamation, and offered a reward of fifty pounds, for
apprehending one Nicholas Curlett, lately a tavern-keeper in
Winchester, who, on the 27th of May last, barbarously
murdered Mr. Jeremiah Beall, a merchant of that place, by
firing through his door at him with a rifle. It seems Mr.
Beall, and some others, had been merry-making that day, and
in the evening, hearing a fiddle at Curlett's tavern, they
proposed joining the company there, but upon their coming
were refused admittance by Curlett, who shut the door upon
them. [7 more lines]
