Légende

The Parsonage, at Frimley, 1850. 'The quiet little village of Frimley, in Surrey, has been the scene of a frightful crime - a daring burglary, which has unfortunately terminated in the violent death of a venerable and much-respected clergyman, the Rev. George Edward Hollest, who has held the perpetual curacy of this hamlet during the past seventeen years...About three o'clock in the morning, Mr. and Mrs. Hollest were awoke by the noise arising from the presence of two or three burglars in their chamber, and in their attempts to raise an alarm, a pistol or gun-shot wound was inflicted on Mr. Hollest, in the abdomen, by one of the ruffians, which resulted, after much suffering, in the death of the rev. gentleman, on Sunday evening, shortly after eight o'clock...The police apprehended, on suspicion, on Sunday evening, at the Rose and Crown beer-shop, in Guildford, three young men of bad character...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
