Thos. Heming - Swanton Morley

Tho^s Heming—Attorney.

Weep, widows, orphans; all your late support,

Himself is summon’d to a higher court:

Living he pleaded yours, but with this clause,

That Christ at death should only plead his cause.

“At Deopham, near Hingham, a skeleton has been found, underneath the floor of an old barn, which was being pulled down, and it is supposed to be the remains of Thomas Jolly, aged 20, the heir of the estate, who was missing 52 years since, and is supposed to have been murdered. A piece of his dress and a small portion of his handkerchief were also found.”
