301St Mary’s Beacon, v.18:19 p3 c8; 8 May 1862 A Card, Notice Hill, Cornelius F.
5275,6515Benjamin Tippett. 1 May 1862
On second thought, I will now submit the certificate of Mr. C.F. Hill and let the public know the truth at once. B. Tippett ---
I hereby certify that I was present and in full view of the difficulty which occurred on the 7th of this month between Dr. Robert Neale and his son and Mr. J. W. and Benjamin Tippett; that I was employed to do some jobs for Mr. J. W. Tippett at the time the said difficulty occurred; that Dr. Neale and son came where I was at work and inquired for Mr. J. W. Tippett, and I directed them to the place where he was at work. I saw Dr Neale and son ride where Mr. Tippett was, and further, saw Dr. Neale strike at Mr. Tippett with a club several times. I then saw Mr. Benjamin Tippett go to his nephew’s assistance, and on his approach I heard the report of a pistol.
After the report of the pistol, I saw Dr. Neale and son riding away from the Messrs. Tippetts in considerable haste. I then saw Dr. Neale and son stop and I saw the Dr. ride up to his son and receive something from him which I supposed to be a pistol. They then wheeled their horses and rode in the direction of the Messrs Tippetts for a short distance and immediately wheeling their horses again; made briskly away from Mr. J. W. Tippett’s premise. I certify that I did not see Bobby Neale arise or attempt in take hold of or interfere with Dr. Neale at any time, and I further certify that the Messrs Tippett remained in the field and about the place where the difficulty occurred until Dr. Neale and his son Robert had left the premises.
