On 2 October 1807, Prosper, one of Hodge's slaves, was accused of stealing a mango. Hodge told him that he would let him off if he payed him six shillings for the mango. When Prosper was only able to give him three shillings, he was held down by other slaves while Hodge flogged him with a cartwhip for over an hour. The next day Prosper failed to get any more money and Hodge flogged him again until he was unable to get up. Prosper died of his wounds thirteen days later.
