14 March 1785

Konin

An entry of 14 March 1785 in the book of the castle court at Konin. Andrzej Kinos, a subject from the village of Trąbczyn, shows the office his injuries: the right eye suffused with blood all round and swollen and livid beneath, the left eye suffused with blood and livid, the whole face swollen, the right shoulder swollen. He states that Marcin Sarzyński inflicted them on him with fists and a stick on the Saturday before, barring his way on the public road in the village of Obory as he was going to the town of Pleszew.

One line per manuscript line, with broken words hyphenated and stray break marks removed. Editorial decisions are set out in About the edition.
