Pardon of Patrick Beytaghe, for the murder of John Macynter;
reciting that he was indicted on Monday next, after the
Feast of the Epiphany, in the 36th year [of the reign of
Henry VIII] that being in the house of one John Fleming, in
company with John Macynter, the latter, being drunk, said to
Beytaghe, "thou art a knave and a horeson knave;" upon which
Beytagh struck him in the head with his left hand; of which
assault he, Macynter, languished and died.
