Thurtell (who had no intention of paying) invited Weare to join him and his buddies for a weekend of gambling. Weare acquiesced only to be shot in the head and have his throat slit by Thurtell. A stunning crime with a sensational murder trial (Thurtell was caught, put on trial and executed). At the back there is an interesting article on gambling "A History Of Gaming Houses, And Gamesters Of The Metropolis". FIRST EDITION.
