Mr. Kelly (to Captain Hill.) You have looked at these three or four papers, and you say they are the papers you found on board the vessel?—They are papers given to me by the master: I did not find them by searching.
Were they given to you on board the vessel?—Yes, by the master.
Did you put any mark upon them?—Yes, you will see a mark on the back; that is what I looked at in the first instance when they were handed to me.
Is this it? (pointing to a mark on the paper.)—It is a pretty large number upon the paper: that is my handwriting.
Mr. Abrao De Pinna sworn. Examined by Mr. Payne.
Will you look at this letter, and tell me if you know the handwriting of the postscript at the end? (handing a paper to the Witness.)
Mr. Kelly. What is the date of it?—24th of September, 1840.
Mr. Payne. Whose handwriting is that postscript?—I presume it to be Mr. Zulueta’s.
Do you believe it to be?—Yes.
Mr. Kelly. Which of them?—The father.
