Coke, a barrister, lost his money in the South Sea Bubble. He hired Woodburn to kill his brother-in-law, Edward Crisp, aiming to inherit his money. In his failed murder attempt Woodburn managed to cut Edward Crisp's nose. This led to the first convictions under the Coventry Act, which outlawed assault with the intention to maim or mutilate. Both men were convicted and hanged. English Short-Title Catalogue T136036. London, 1722. (illustratore).
