An extract from a summary(The Adventure of the Gloria Scott)
Hello,
Is the following rewording of 'who would have none of it' correct? He didn't let him (Hudson) do the same things to him (Beddoes) as he did to old Trevor.
Once in Australia, they changed their names, went to the gold fields, became wealthy and returned to England where they lived quiet lives in the country for almost 30 years until Hudson showed up at Trevor's and began to blackmail him. He then went to do the same thing to Beddoes who would have none of it, so Hudson told the police.
Thanks

Yes, except "to do" should be just "do" and the pronouns "he" and "him" obviously need clarification. Another way, without ambiguity: Beddoes refused to be blackmailed by Hudson as Trevor had been.
