Men of Invention and Industry

CHAPTER I
90/94

Committee for sale of the Carrack goods appointed (174).

Bonds for sale to be sealed (196)....
Committee to audit accounts of a former adventure (224 b.)." [19] There were three sisters in all, the eldest of whom (Abigail) fell a victim to the cruelty of Nunn, who struck her across the head with the fire-tongs, from the effects of which she died in three days.

Nunn was tried and convicted of manslaughter.

He died shortly after.
