A. I do not recollect that I signed it.
Q. Is your bond discharged?
A. Yes, I produced this copy at Bristol, to have it discharged.
Q. Why did not the cause of the death of the negro girl appear in your journal?
A. The apprehensions I had for my own safety, while I sailed with the prisoner, prevented me from relating it.
Q. Is it from disclosing a barbarous murder?
A. Yes; because the prisoner and I had often quarrelled, and I might have been judged an improper evidence against him.
Q. At what place did you quarrel?
A. At the river of Calabar.
