    • His death is explained in the History of Parliament, which gives a number of sources for the following information:
      He served as foreman of the jury which acquitted Edward Nosworthy II in November 1684. At the celebration which followed at the Globe tavern in Fleet Street, an altercation broke out after 'a discourse arose about leaping horses' between Henry St. John and Francis Stonehouse. Politics is unlikely to have played any part, since Estcourt was run through both by the Whig St. John, and the Tory Edmund Webb. The last of his family, his death, according to Morrice, was 'very much bewailed'. The murderers were pardoned, probably because of Webb's signal loyalty 'in turbulent and staggering times'.
