I was called to se Aaron a slave the property of Larkin Searinghim[?] and found him in the last stage or Traumatic Tetanus, upon a casual examination I found marks upon the left thigh and a wound which leads me to suppose the negro above name died of the above disease brought on by the said wounds the wounds I believe to have been inflicted by the end of a rod or whip. . .or some other blunt instrument

he gave him some twenty or twenty five stripes

he gave him about twenty stripes with a cow hide Mr. Wise said that he wise, had ordered Aaron not to come on his plantation, and that he gave him the whipping because he continued coming he wise also said that-after giving a few stripes Mr C. Kenedy told him not to strike so hard, he then struck with less force.
