464 Feby 23d 1867 Lt De Knight Sir, I supposed that Mr Hudson had gone to the County of Roanoke but find that he has not done so. The warrant of arrest should issue in Roanoke as the shooting was done there. I do not think that the jurisdiction of parties in this [[strikethrough]]extend[[/strikethrough]] County extend beyond its limits. Be this as it may, I prefer that the case be referred to some other justice as Mr Hudson is a relation of mine and in consequence, I feel a delicacy in the matter. The nearest Justice to the [[strikethrough]]scene[[/strikethrough]] place in Roanoke is Mr Charles Lunsford. Yours Thos H Beman
