"Name it!" said the Judge.
"During my absence a man has been tried and condemned by the Bishop's court for threatening my life," said Michael Sunlocks.
"Jason, the son of Stephen Orry and Rachel, daughter of the late Governor-General Jorgensen," said the Judge.
"That is he, and I want you to give me an opinion respecting him," said Michael Sunlocks.
"Gladly," said the Judge.
"He was sent to the Sulphur Mines," said Michael Sunlocks.
"For six months, certain," said the Judge.
"Can we recall him, and have him tried afresh by the Court of the Quarter or the High Court of Justice?" said Michael Sunlocks.
"Too late for that," said the Judge. "A higher court, if it had condemned at all, might certainly have given him a longer punishment, but his sentence of six months is coupled with a condition that he shall hereafter take an oath of peace towards you. So have no fear of him."
"I have none at all," said Michael Sunlocks, "as my next question will show."
