"I do notknow" say the Great Bells of Bow
"Here comes aCandle to light you to Bed
Here comes a Chopperto Chop off your Head
Chip chop chip chop -the Last Man's Dead."

And the question presented to you the jury is; A man died!
They all admitted that his head got chopped off, but who was it who killed him?





Suspects; St Clements , St Martins, Old Baily , Shoreditch ,
Stepney , Bow

Andreya sighed and thought about the case that was just presented.
"It sounds as if those who want the money are Martins, Bailey, & Stepney.
those who are being interrogated are Shorditch and Bow.
So I dont think that they would be the murderers."

Andreya thought..."Hmm...true, I say he was just stating what was missing, (or whatever) so i think the would be innocent. But i am not sure." She picked up a pencil and tapped it on the table. "My question is, before we find out who the murderer is, who was the one who was killed. That might help on finding out who killed who."

Sarah entered the discussion thoughtfully.

"Id like to just recover what you have said and add my own thoughts" she said.

"Firstly, let us look at Bailey. I think that you have the right idea putting him under guilty for I have found this evidence"

She showed them a document:

Quote :

The 'Bells of Old Bailey', or more
accurately the tenor bell of St Sepulchre, had been utilised prior to
1783 to time the executions but after the gallows had been moved,
Newgate prison (now the site of the Old Bailey) obtained its own bell.
As the words to the poem "Oranges and lemons" indicate the unfortunate
victim would await execution on 'Death Row' and would be informed by
the Bellman of St. Sepulchre by candle light 'here comes the candle to
light you to bed', at midnight outside their cell , the Sunday night
prior to their imminent fate, by the ringing of the 'Execution Bell' (a
large hand bell) and the recitation of the following :

All you that in the condemned hole do lie,
Prepare you for tomorrow you shall die;
Watch all and pray: the hour is drawing near
That you before the Almighty must appear;
Examine well yourselves in time repent,
That you may not to eternal flames be sent.
And when St. Sepulchre's Bell in the morning tolls
The Lord above have mercy on your soul.

"So you see the bell of Bailey seems to promote murder already. Enough evidence to prove his guilt?" she said before moving onto the next.

"It is only right we look at any evidence for the others too, commencing with Clements" She said producing anther piece of paper and showing the room

Quote :

The original old Church was rebuilt in the 15th Century. The second church was destroyed in 1666 during the Great Fire of London

"So I believe that Clements has had attempted murder against him many times, one being at the time of this muder, therefore I think he is innocent."

"I see that Martins has also been put under guilty for good reason in this case, though I believe I have fund the evidece to prove his innocent" she said, showing another piece of paper;

Quote :

St Martin Ongar church, situated in Martin Lane was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666

"Another attemtpted murder? I believe so, so I think he should go in the innocent pile"

"Now you have put shoreditch under innocent but is he? The murder was about money it seems and Shoreditch wanted to get rich for where he lives is a very poor part" She produced another item;



"So I think we should move him to guilty pile?"

She moved onto the next

"Stepney I think is innocent. There is no evidence to prove otherwise and we cant take a simple question as proof of his guilt"

"And finally onto bow."
She pruced one more piece of paper

Quote :

The current building was built by Sir Christopher Wren between 1670 and 1680, after the Great Fire of London destroyed the previous church.

"Again I see another attempted murder." she said concluding, "Therefore I think Bow is innocent. Perhaps the london fire should be a suspect here?"

"So finally I think after looking at evidence that Bailey and Shoreditch are the most guilty, though I think that Bailey is probably the murderer"

Inocent
Martins
Clements
Stepney
Bow

Guilty
Bailey
Shoreditch

"so you are saying that Shorditch would have attempted murder for money and Bailey because....?"
