The document is in folio format measuring 13 x 8 inches dated 1759 in very good clean and legible condition. The script can at times be difficult to decipher due to the dated language and spelling of the era but rewards a close look both the for the interesting facts of the case as well as the wider military and historical significance of these report in the decades prior to American Independence when it was still a British colony. There is no description of why Dimmick chooses not to join the militia but it could be because of a belief in an independent America. This could be why he pleads not guilty to charges he is clearly guilty of.

The war pitted the colonies of British America against those of New France with both sides supported by military units from their parent countries of Great Britain and France as well as by American Indian allies.
