From Shirley Lyerla CAMDEN, November 16, 1802 The Courts of General Sessions and Common Pleas for this District commenced here on Monday the 8th inst . . . .his honor Judge Bay, presided . . .. By his usual patriotic executions in the public service, the whole business of the Sessions, and upwards of 120 cases upon the civil dockets, was completely gone through by Friday afternoon. Robert Creight was convicted of horse stealing; but moving arrest of judgement, he is to be carried up to Columbia. Bryan Spradley was convicted of an assault with intent to murder and received a sentence, of fine, imprisonment and pillory. (Augusta Chronicle, Sat. Nov 17, 1802, p. 2) Note: It is non clear whether this was Bryant Sr. or Bryant Jr. (The pillory was a device made of a wooden or metal framework erected on a post, with holes for securing the head and hands, formerly used for punishment by public humiliation and often further physical abuse, sometimes lethal.
