And you did not think it necessary to seize the Gil Blas?—No.
Do you know for whom any goods were landed?—I am only speaking from what I understood from him when I learned it. I do not know to whom he delivered them; but he gave me to understand he sold them to Pedro Blanco; but I was not present. I am only speaking to my belief.
Did this man, about that time, make you any present?—Serjeant brought out from Pedro Blanco a dozen fowls and a sheep for me, which I was very glad of. I had never seen Pedro Blanco in my life. I had had no fresh provisions for some time, and I was very glad to accept the fowls and the sheep, which he told me had come from Marseilles in a vessel which had taken some slaves. The sheep I gave to the Judge of the Mixed Commission Court.
How long was the Gil Blas off there?—I do not know, perhaps a day.
Tell me the name of any other vessel that was out there landing goods, which you did not seize?—I do not remember any.
Were you there at the time the Star was there?—I do not remember the name. I do not recollect seeing her. I am sorry I have not the boarding-book here, or I could tell you.
Do you remember the Laburnum?—No.
The Milford?—No.
Do you not know that the Milford landed a large quantity of goods at the Gallinas?—Not to my knowledge.
Or the Sublime?—Not that I know of.
