Details
Robert Yarington (fl. 1601), was an English playwright, most famous for his play, Two Tragedies in One, which has two concurrent plots. One of these tells of the murder and gruesome dismembering of Mr Beech, a chaundler in Thames Street, and his boy, by Thomas Merry, the other of a young child murdered in a wood by two ruffians, with the consent of his uncle. In the concurrent plot, set in Padua, Falleria witnesses the will of his dying brother Pandino (which bequeaths all his wealth to his son Pertillo), and in order to cheat his nephew of the inheritance has him murdered by two ruffians. Falleria is eventually undone by the dying testimony of one of the ruffians, and is sentenced to death by the Duke of Padua. In the 'London' plot, Merry is finally brought to justice by the 'accidental' testimony of his former servant Harry Williams. Merry and his innocent sister, Rachel, are hanged - but Williams is saved by pleading the ancient 'benefit of clergy', and is simply branded on the left hand.
