    1. [BRK] TAYLOR of Hungerford, and MILES of the Foot-Guards ( 1738 )
    2. >From London Evening Post ( London, England ), August 26, 1738 - August 29, 1738; Issue 1683. On Saturday Night a Quarrel happen'd between one MILES , a Drummer in the Foot-Guards, and one TAYLOR , a Waterman of Hungerford, ( well known for his manual Operations ) in Tothill-Fields, soon after the Races ended. MILES had a Hanger, which he drew, and cut TAYLOR in such a Manner, that 'tis thought he cannot live: TAYLOR had nothing but his Hands to defend himself with. He had one of his Fingers cut quite off, a large Wound in his Arm, and another in his Neck, almost to his Windpipe. MILES made off after he had done the Mischief, without being taken.
