Ye said Peter Turlington did come into ye said house and immediately there did beat, bruise and batter the complainant with several blows on his jaw. Custis ordered that Thomas Willson, Henry Lewis and Straton Burton be summoned as witnesses; they testified that Turlington did strike [Bagwell] several blows upon ye Sabbath day, which ye said Peter Turlington confessed. Custis then ordered Turlington to appear at the next court. Now he appeared and denied the matter, saying he was assaulted and acted in self defense. Since no contrary evidence appeared, the court discharged Turlington, who was to pay all charges that accrued in the matter. (p. 55, 55a)
