are lost but Jack is known to have been convicted
because he turns up on the Provincial Court docket
in May 1726 as being a case referred thereto for
judgement on technical grounds from Charles County.
The Provincial Court affirmed conviction and order-
ed Jack returned to Port Tobacco to await execution.
Governor's settlement of case is unknown because

sion Record is lost. However given the nature of
the crime and its rapid handling, it seems highly
probable that hanging promptly followed.
