Help Translating Court Documents for Mördad

[Eileen Fischer]

I have been researching Samuel Petersson who died Oct 1858 of mördad (murder) and have now received the court documents regarding this.  Thank you Erik (aem2468) for providing the info to receive this-you were correct!  I have received 3 files from Riksarkivet, one from Konga court (18 pg), and 2 from Göta Hovrätt (12 pg and 2 pg) and need help translating these. 

I've attached the link for the last file of 2 pg hoping that it can be accessed.  If not please let me know and I'll figure something else out.  The first 2 files have a lot more info but I want to make sure that this works first.  Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.  Thank You!!

Hi,

It works.

This is the courts reply of the appeal from the killer.

The short form of the content is that the man who killed Samuel Persson, farm  hand Frans Gustaf Petersson Flinta, get his death sentence converted to 28 days in prison, on water and bread, and after that six years of hard labour.
