    all the English he knew "us three sir".
    Then the guard asked them what did they get for killing the man and the second eldest son "thirty shillings sir". Then the guard said that they would be put to jail and the youngest son said "I was thinking so". The guard then hand-cuffed them and brought them to jail. Then they were brought he court but it was found out that they were not guilty so they were let go free.
