Chapter XX: Appendix: I. (p. 140)

_Epitaph in St. Anne's, Aldersgate._ [Maitland, London (1756), p. 1065.]

"_Peter Heiwood_, younger son of _Peter Heiwood_, one of the Counsellors of _Jamaica_, ... Great Grandson to _Peter Heiwood_ of _Heywood_ in the County Palestine of _Lancaster_; who apprehended _Guy Faux_ with his dark Lanthorn; and for his zealous prosecution of Papists, as Justice of Peace, was stabbed in _Westminster-Hall_ by _John James_, a _Dominican_ Friar, An. Dom. 1640. Obiit _Novem. 2. 1701_.

Reader, if not a Papist bred
Upon such Ashes gently tread."

It is to be presumed that the person who died in 1701 is not the same who was stabbed in 1640, or who discovered Guy Faukes in 1605.

The Dominican records contain no trace of any member of the Order named John James, nor does so remarkable an event as the stabbing of a Justice of Peace in Westminster Hall appear to be chronicled elsewhere.

Peter Heywood, J.P. for Westminster, was active as a magistrate as late as December 15th, 1641. [_Calendar of State Papers._]
