"(UK, historical) The act of killing a person in a secret manner, distinguished from simple homicide." This was the original sense in the entry (which came from an old dictionary); somebody later replaced it with another def, saying that it was incorrect. It deserves an RFV though.

- cited. I have tweaked the definition, to indicate precisely what was meant by a "secret" killing, and added cites for both that definition and the one for the fine. I included the 2013 quote, although it is clearly a mention, because it makes clear that the word refers both to the crime and to the fine levied when it occurred.
