for a few moments to get a drink of water and the party charged to have been assaulted pick up my gun, which I had laid down for a moment to get the drink, and hid it from me. The intension of the party was so apparent, that is, to injure me and have me turned out of my employment, that I became enraged and assaulted him not doing him any great damage however

The Petitioner would further state that he is a very poor man and dependent upon his daily labor for a support for himself and large family of wife and helpless children that he has paid the cost and city attory's part of the fine and that deprived his family of the actual necessaries of lilfe and if he is compelled to pay the commonwealth's portion his family will be brought to suffering.
