Translation
the declarant said to him that the
Commander was calling him that he would know
if he committed any crime and that seeing that
it was noon, and that the Black had not returned
the declarant went to the house
of the Commander and found that at that time
they were examining him, asking
him whether he had attended the dance of the
Minas Blacks to which the Black responded
that no because he could not
go in haste because he found himself with a small
illness in the foot, and that the rest of the Blacks
would say the same; that the declarant
indicated to the Commander that
his Black was innocent that with
his body he would respond for him, and that
would he do him the favor of returning him
because he was a poor man and he needed him
for his work to which
