:14:00
He did such.
:14:02
And that were to allow him to raise
a crop of corn on another piece of land.

:14:06
That's right. But he never done
one thing he promised. Not one!

:14:10
He claims further that when he talked
to you about these promises...

:14:14
you did
"strike, beat and knock him down...

:14:17
"pluck, pull and tear
large quantities of hair from his head...

:14:22
"and that with stick or fists
you did strike him many blows...

:14:25
"on or about the face, head,
breast, back, shoulders, hips...

:14:31
"and diverse other parts of the body...
:14:36
and with violence did push, thrust
and gouge your fingers in his eyes".

:14:41
Yeah.
I got witnesses to prove it.

:14:44
And for that
he demands $250 damages.

:14:48
Yes, I do.
:14:52
Well, Brother Woolridge,
what you got to say to that?

:14:56
You forgot to put in there about me
whoppin' him with a neck yoke.

:15:00
Now, it says here,
Brother Hawthorne...

:15:06
that you owe Brother Woolridge
$55.47 board...

:15:10
at the rate of
a dollar and a half a week.

:15:13
You owe him $90 for use
of a team and wagon for eight months...

:15:16
besides $100 cash on a loan.
:15:19
- Yeah.
- Well, I never said I didn't.

:15:26
Well, I ain't no lightnin' calculator...
:15:30
but accordin' to my figurin'...
:15:35
you owe him 245 dollars...
:15:40
and 47 cents.
:15:43
You're askin' $250 damages.
:15:49
Now, my idea's to
split the difference...

:15:52
of $4.53...
:15:58
which, by a strange coincidence...
