Examples of "murther"
Murther and Walking Spirits, first published by McClelland and Stewart in 1991, is a novel by Canadian novelist Robertson Davies.
Another Thomas Wright, M.A., of Peterhouse, Cambridge, issued in 1685 "The Glory of Gods Revenge against the Bloody and Detestable Sins of Murther and Adultery" (London).
"Murther and Walking Spirits" was not well received by the critics, and sales of the book were disappointing, compared to Davies' previous works.
" Lawrence Braddon., Gent of the Middle Temple states himself 'upwards of 5 years persecuted or imprisoned for endeavouring to discover this murther the third day after the same was committed' " The Dictionary of National Biography entry for Braddon says:-
Hackman was quickly committed to the Tothill Fields Bridewell. As "James Hackman, Clerk", he was indicted for "the wilful murther of Martha Ray, spinster" on the inquisition of the coroner.
Possibly modelled on the 17th century broadside "William Grismond's Downfall", "or A Lamentable Murther by him Committed at Lainterdine in the county of Hereford on March 12, 1650: Together with his lamentation.", sometimes known as "The Bloody Miller".
The novel is prefaced with a quote from Samuel Butler: "But where Murthers and Walking Spirits meet, there is no other Narrative can come near it." (The word "murther" is an archaic spelling of "murder".)
Editor Judith Skelton Grant provides a selection of letters written by Davies from the period starting in 1976 until 1995, the year of Davies' death. The letters touch on various subjects in Davies' life, including the publication of "The Cornish Trilogy" (1981 – 1988), "Murther and Walking Spirits" (1991), "The Cunning Man" (1994), and Davies' next novel, which was never completed.
Other changes that affected these phonemes included a shift → when followed by unstressed suffix -er. Thus Old English "fæder" became modern English "father"; likewise "mother, gather, hither, together, weather" (from "mōdor, gaderian, hider, tōgædere, weder"). In a reverse process, Old English "byrþen" and "morþor" or "myþra" become "burden" and "murder" (compare the obsolete words "burthen" and "murther").
The rapist Tarquin is also mentioned in Macbeth's soliloquy from Act 2 Scene 1 of "Macbeth": "wither'd Murther . . . With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards his design / Moves like a ghost" (2.1.52–56). Tarquin's actions and cunning are compared with Macbeth's indecision – both rape and regicide are unforgivable crimes.
Grascome, in common with George Hickes, at one point used the printer William Anderton, who produced also Jacobite literature: in 1693 Anderton was found with Grascome's "Remarks on the Present Confederacy". "An Appeal of Murther", 1693, was Grascome's anonymous comment on the death sentence for Anderton.
13 May 1710 Queen’s Containing Distresses and Death of King Henry the Sixth, the Murther of young King Deuard the Fifth and his Brother in the Tower, with the Landing of the Earl of Richmond, and the Memorable and Decisive Battle in Bosworth Field.
William Winstanley described him as "not so much famous for his valour as his villainy, being remarkable for nothing but this horrible business of the king's murther, for which he came into the pack to have a share in the spoyle."
"The Parricide Papist, or Cut-throate Catholicke." A tragicall discourse of a murther lately committed at Padstow in the Countie of Cornewall by a professed Papist, killing his owne Father, and afterwardes himselfe, in zeal of his Popish Religion. The 11 of March last past. 1606. Written by G. Closse, Preacher of the Word of God at Blacke Torrington in Devon.
Unlike most of Davies' previous novels, "The Cunning Man" was not part of a trilogy. There is some supposition, however, that had Davies lived long enough this novel and his previous novel, "Murther and Walking Spirits" (1991), might have constituted another trilogy. For example, "Gil" Gilmartin, the narrator of "Murther and Walking Spirits", reappears in "The Cunning Man" as Hullah's godson. In fact, in his introduction to "The Merry Heart" (1996), a collection of Davies' writings published posthumously, Davies' publisher, Douglas M. Gibson, tells how Davies had been researching and preparing the novel which would have followed "The Cunning Man" and would have been the third in the series. Gibson speculates that this unfinished trilogy might have been called the "Toronto Trilogy".

The additional caption beneath the title of "The worse view in Europe" is "Oh Murther! The dhrink died out of me and the wrong side of Bechers." (In the UK, at the time, many jump jockeys were Irish which Snaffles was presumably trying to reference in his spelling of "mother" and "drink". Becher's Brook is a famous fence at Aintree.) There is then a small sketch to the side, presumably depicting the sequel, showing a dismounted horse, its jockey unconscious on the floor. Two men stand by, one holding the horse and the other raising a flag to summon the doctor or warn the stewards that there has been a fall.
