Hood attending a Law Term shortly after the ill treatment where his antagonist & relations were compelled to be and whilst there they had him arested tried & convicted. Hood not knowing anything about our Laws and being unprepared made no defence & was accordingly fined prosecuted an appeal to the Quarterly Court which is as dismissed for an unfortunately in the Justices transcript & Judgment vs him as before

To my personal knowledge Hood had a Just & good defence He could have proven by winesses with whom I have coversed that his life was threated & that there
