by Pedro de Zulueta; William Brodie Gurney

Mr. Justice Maule (to Captain Hill.) Are these all the papers you could get?—Yes, these are all I could get.

Mr. Serjeant Bompas. I am going to offer the letters objected to in my address; we are going to show letters giving directions.

Mr. Kelly. My learned friend should not state the contents of the letters.

Mr. Serjeant Bompas. I have stated nothing injurious to the prisoner, only enough to call the attention of the Judges to them. I am going to prove the handwriting of them.

Mr. Kelly. The evidence at present is, that Captain Hill found on board the vessel, or that the master delivered to him, certain papers, those you now produce; you say nothing about the contents, but you are going to prove the handwriting?

Mr. Serjeant Bompas. Yes.

(Mr. Brown produced certain other papers, which were handed in.)

Mr. Brown. That packet contains nine enclosures.

Mr. Sebastian Gonzalez Martinez sworn. Examined by Mr. Serjeant Talfourd.

Do you know Pedro de Martinez, of Cadiz?—No.
