Micou may not have liberty to turne ye road by his quarter of Peumansend is
rejected.
[From Colonial Caroline by T.E. Campbell 1954.
page 400. … the people of Colonial Caroline were little concerned with criminal
warrants. Instead they rebuked or fought people who offended them. Rebukes and
fights led to scores of civil actions for slander and assault and battery.
These suits clogged the docket of the Caroline court with suits for assault and
battery by far the more prevalent (long list follows that includes the entry
below of 10 Sept. 1736)]
