Translation
whom his Honor before me the scribe
received an oath that he gave before god
Our Lord and a sign of the cross according
to law under which he agreed to tell the
truth as he knew it and be questioned
and being asked if he has a Black his slave
held in this Royal Jail and what is his name?
he said that yes that his name is Pedro and
responds---
Asked who captured him, on whose
orders, when and how his arrest was
verified he said: that Don Francisco Allain official of the
militia on the twenty seventh of July
of last year gave an order to the
declarant from Commander Don
Valentin Leblanc that he send
his black Pedro there, to take from him
a declaration, that indeed he
sent him there the following day as
he confirmed alone although nobody accompanied him
