The village tragedy; or Murder upon murder!! : Written, and now published to warn all young men and women against the horrid crime of seduction; which proved so fatal, a few weeks ago, to a young woman near York. Who, in order to hide her shame, concealed her pregnancy till the time of her delivery, when she barbarously murdered her new-born child, and, to avoid public justice, drowned herself, a few days after, in the Foss Navigation.
