as attesting witness the aforementioned proceedings
according to what he has said he was present
at all the witness’s declarations,
which are detailed in them and in that case please say
in what language these took place, and if the
declarant understood well that which they were asked
and that which they responded and did he know
that they understood perfectly? he said:
that he only attended the declaration of the Black
named Cesar, that he was said to be the leader
or one of the principals of the suspected
conspiracy but that since his domestic
occupations and other Business did not permit
him continuous attendance at these hearings he
was not present at the declarations of the
other Blacks and although he signed all of them when
they were presented to him as issued by the Commander
in this process he trusted the intelligence
of Don Fernando Rodriguez being
a Royal scribe who on a separate paper
