The Diary of Narcissus Luttrell places the affair at the Globe Tavern, 

 otherwise called the Devil's Tavern, in Fleet Street, and says that it arose 

 primarily out of Edward Fitzharris's recent condemnation for treason, 33rd 

 Charles II. In November Edward Noseworthy was tried for saying he 

 hoped he might live to see the judges hanged who had sentenced Fitzharris. 

 In the indictment the words were laid to have been uttered in Wilts, but 

 witnesses proving that it was in Dorsetshire, the prisoner escaped. Sir 

 William Estcourt, who had been one of Noseworthy's jury, sitting soon 

 after in the Globe Tavern in company with some of his fellow jurymen and 

 divers friends from the country, a quarrel arose ; and swords being drawn, 

 Estcourt was stabbed in five places by St. John and Webb.

 became extinct, and the estates, passing through cousins, eventually fell to 

 that branch of the Estcourts who in modern times have represented Devizes 

 and North Wilts in Parliament.
