I have carefully examined the case of James H. Hindman as stated by his counsel and believe from the Laws of the Country he was perfectly Justifiable in defending himself with every means in his power- that the killing was excusable and no more than what any man of feeling would have done with similar circumstances 1 Augt 1817 - Wm Shinanon?]
