The Court were of opinion, that it appeared the said John Warner did cut down the hammock in which the said James Lyon lay, in consequence of which he received the injury that occasioned his death ; but that it did not appear that he knew any person was in the hammock at the time, or that he had any malicious or bad intention towards the deceased, and did therefore adjudge him to be acquitted.
