Q. Did you not tell a Mr. Riddle that you would ruin Captain Kimber?
A. No: but I said I would commence a suit against him for his severe treatment of me, and that I would put myself under the protection of the first king’s ship I met with. This conversation took place before we sailed from Calabar.
Q. Did you never say any thing to the prisoner’s servant?
A. No.
Q. Did you ever administer any mercury to the girl who died?
A. No: it was improper for her complaint.
Q. Can you pretend to say that the suspension of this girl, was intended as a punishment?
A. I shall not say that; but it was obvious that it was a punishment.
Q. Might not the Captain have had reason to conclude that this suspension was necessary?
