Translation
Judge-Advocate and he responds--
The Black Leveille being confronted with the fact that as he
understands a little creole French he is saying
now something different than it is clear that
he declared before the Commander
of Punta Cortado, having been present
the said Don Fernando, Don Francisco, Don Augustin
Alain, Don Alexandro Leblanc Don
Simon Croiset, other whites, and the Mina
Black named Rigodon slave of the Commander?
he said: That in the year that
he has been detained in this City he has
improved a little in said Language: that when
the Commander took his declaration there was no
one present but the same Don
Fernando who was writing, and as he did not
hear what they were asking him they did not read him
his declaration and he responds--
The said Don Fernando Rodriguez also
