    1. [SXP] Tragic deaths of Farmer VOKE and his son. ( 1754 )
    2. >From London Evening Post, March 9, 1754 - March 12, 1754; Issue 4108. We hear from Sussex, that a few Days ago Farmer VOKE , of Birdham, near Chichester, went to Havant in Hants to receive some Money for his Son, and calling in at a Publick House, he pulled out some Pieces of Gold; and an Hour after he left the House he was found murdered, and his Money gone. This is the Place where GALLY and CHATER stopped, and where misled in their Way to Major BATHNEY's and so inhumanly treated by the Smugglers; and it is thought some of that villianous Gang are concerned in this, they herding together in great Numbers there. As soon as the poor Man's Son heard of his Father's Death, he took to his Bed and died.
