AUGUSTA COUNTY, VIRGINIA - COURT RECORDS
Augusta County, to wit. -- On the oath of Robert Renoxe it appears to me that Mathew Young did beat and abuse Michael Bready with the butt end of his musket to the degree that life is in danger, which appears to me in view as also the opinion of Dr. Flood, who is ordered to attend him.
I, therefore, in His Majesty's Name, command you to apprehend and inclose the said Mathew Young in prison until it appears that the said Bready is in a way of recovery and that he, the said Young, be discharged by the due course of the law.
You are likewise to apprehend and inclose one John Walker, who appears to vindicate the above Young in his desired murder, &C.
Given under my Hand and Seal, this First day of September 1747.
