YOU CAN REMOVE THIS, BUT READ IT FIRST. HE DID NOT PAY. IT SAYS TEN LINES ABOVE THIS THAT HE DIDN'T PAY. THERE WAS A TECHNICALITY THAT LET HIM AVOID PAYING. YOU EVEN GOT THE AMOUNT WRONG, IT SAYS ABOVE THAT HE WAS FINED $100. I GAVE YOU THE RIGHT INFO THREE TIMES NOW TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE DONKEY YOUR LORD RODE IN ON AND GIVE IT UP. HE DIDN'T PAY THE FINE.
