Did you see any thing else that attracted your attention, while you were engaged on board the vessel?—Yes.
What was it?—In two of the smaller casks, which we came to in the tier, our attention was attracted by a noise in the cask; it proved to be a quantity of what we call shackles when I was in the West India trade: we did not count them, but there might be from one to two hundred pair.
They were in the cask?—Yes.
Can you tell how many there were?—We did not count them, but I should consider from the weight and height of the cask, there were nearly two hundred pair.
Was any thing done with those while you were there?—Not that I saw.
Then they were left in the place where you found them?—Yes, they had been in the vessel before.
Mr. Justice Maule. What did you do with that cask?—We restowed it again.
Did you take that cask to pieces?—No.
How could you see the shackles?—Because we took the head out.
Did you put the head in again, or leave it so?—I left it so; but I believe my son did the remainder.
