The York-buildings dragons; Or, A full and true account of a most horrid and barbarous murder, (whose fatal consequences will not only distract the present age, but affect the three next generations) intended to be committed on Monday the 20th of December next, on the bodies, goods, and name of the greatest part of His Majesty's Liege subjects, dwelling and inhabiting between Temple-Bar in the east, and St. James's in the west; and between Hungerford-Market in the south, and St. Mary la Bonne in the north, by a sett of evil-minded Persons, who (by the instigation of plutus, and not having the fear of several lords, knights, and gentlemen, before their eyes) do assemble twice a-week, to carry on their wicked purposes, in a private room over a stable, by the Thames side, in a remote corner of the town.
