for the arrest of Wallace this was upon March 6th 1867. Garland complied with my request -and the case was brought before justices Soloman Hutt and Walter Brocken brough on Saturday March 9th 1867. The evidence taken in the case proved conclusively that Wallace was guilty of the charge brought against him. In fact he acknowledged the testimony of the colored woman and her two witnesses to be true and that he did beat her but not one half as hard as he intended too The case was dismissed by the justices and the cast thrown upon the woman. The justices in their charge said that she ought not to be so saucy to Wallace. Without some means is taken to cast asside such dissicsion, there will be no security for the Freedmen and like attacks will dayly be made [[caven]] citizens who attended the trial
