Dobiola complains that two brothers, Pierre and Louis Lamec hit him and small fire 

• 4 days in prison for Pierre, and 3 livres fine

• 5 days for Louis (Released from Prison)

Pierre Lamet, a fisherman, was previously the indentured servant of Dobiola. His service had ended just the day previous when he struck his former master. Had he struck him while indentured, his penalty would have no doubt been more severe.
